    You cannot prove that causality is an illusion (especially as you have to admit at least one causal agent, i e, God) or that it’s not an illusion. It seems to me that both propositions are reasonable. However, I suspect that Aristotle is closer to the truth; it makes more sense intuitively.

      I respect your view, but as Muslims we believe that the universe has a beginning and an end, and that every event that happens happens with God's knowledge. Of course, when you write like this, the question comes to mind that Ibn Sina and Farabi were not Muslims. They were Muslims, but they were wrong in their thinking. They emphasized reason and logic while Ghazali emphasized divine revelation.

      @@Horizonsofthemind3437 The fact that everything that happens does so with God's knowledge does not mean that God is the only casual agent. It is not clear and unambiguous in the Qur'an that causality is an illusion; indeed, the Shi'a do believe in secondary causes. And the Mutazilites also. Ghazali wished to emphasize God's power, to his goodness.

But I do not trust what the AI writes, so I read the text and examine it to the finest detail and then publish it. I research different sources and verify the accuracy of the information.

      Imam Ghazali criticized Ibn Sina's philopsophical views on the eternity of the universe basing on predominantly religious discourse. As a muslim I would say we should't stick to only religous concepts, that's what the main reason for falling behind western countries in sphere of science.We should also shape our scientific knowledges so we can reinvigorate islamic golden age.

We have only stories about the reality...the exact reality in its entirety cannot be known... all of science and its theories re stories which they keep updating with time when they understand better...what they basically do is create a story more closer to reality...but no one claim to have attained the truth ...

      Causality is simply cause and effect. (If you speed, you have an accident. Or if you steal, you become a thief and go to jail.) To me, all of this is a test. The Creator has shown us the right path. He has set rules and regulations. Nothing happens against His will. There are examples of this in all the heavenly books. For example, it has to rain so that the world can live. “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth with truth, and the day He says, 'Be', it comes to pass; His word is truth” (al-An'am, 6/73)

      It was the Creator who set the laws. The Creator has given us reason and will. He already knows from eternity the decisions we make and will make. He knows that we will choose good and evil. He has shown us the right path through the prophets. He has left it to our will to obey or not. “O mankind, verily We created you from a male and a female (from Adam and Eve). And We have made you into (different) tribes and clans so that you may (easily) get acquainted with each other (and benefit from your different talents and virtues). Verily, the most superior of you in the sight of Allah is the one who is the most advanced in taqwa (avoiding evil and striving for good), not in race or lineage. Verily Allah is All-Knowing, All-Knowing. Surat al-Hujurat, Verse 13” I agree with what you are saying. A newborn child is unconscious. It adopts the truths and ideas of the environment and society in which it lives. And the notion of right - wrong and good - sin comes according to the society they live in.

    How do you evaluate al-Ghazali's views on causality?

    • @andrejuthe
      @andrejuthe 8 днів тому

      It closely aligns with Hume's perspective. However, one issue with this view is that it also assumes God establishes a causal link between "our observations" of a cause and its (non-inherent) effect, as well as our belief in that causal connection (since on this account our observation is what _causes_ our beliefs in inherent causation). Otherwise would our habit of observation nature's cause and effect have an inherent causal effect on our mind. Additionally, it requires (inconsistently) that God's act of causing something must be inherent; otherwise, we encounter a bootstrap problem-namely, that God would need to cause His own causality to function, which would lead to an infinite regress (i.e., God causing the cause that causes the cause, and so on, ad infinitum).

      @@andrejuthe There is a Turkish saying “Allah knows”, I don't know how it will translate in English, but sometimes this word saves our faith. Sometimes we don't get too hung up on the “Cause - Effect” relationship (when we can't perceive the event or don't want to think about it) because if Allah did it, He knows something. In my opinion, in every event that happens, either God willed it that way or it happened according to our choices. For example, in the Qur'an (Surah Zâriyât - 47 : We established the sky by Our might and We are expanding it). The Quran informed us about this centuries ago. But modern science has only recently reported that the universe is expanding. Conclusion: the universe is expanding. But why? Who knows. “Dark Energy” according to science.) God knows the unseen. People have interpreted “Causality” either as they can perceive it or as it suits them. That is why there is a lot of misinformation. For example, the ideas of Ibn Sina and Farabi were opposed by al-Ghazali.
