Epistemology concept
The following represents an outline of the
epistemological concept of Al-Ghazalli:
Knowledge exists potentially in human
soul like the seed in the soil.
Knowledge can either be innate or
acquired.
The sensory knowledge is not reliable. It
does not lead to the ultimate reality.
The prophets are granted the ultimate
knowledge by Allah. The commoners
should follow the teachings of the
prophets. 7
