 al-Mustasfa¯ , 1:5.3–4 / 1:4.2, al-Ghaza¯lı¯ makes it clear that  Jawa¯hir al-Qur  7

a¯n  was com-

posed before “the return to teaching.” In  al-Arba ı¯n , 305.9–10 / 264.13–14, he presents 

that book as the concluding part of  Jawa¯hir al-Qur    7a¯n.

211–12, in his German translation, I follow al-Zabı¯dı¯,  Ith.a¯f al-sa¯da , 9:76.16, who has  illa¯ 



l- ulama¯   7  instead of  bi-l-nisbat al- ulama¯   7 . 

  26.  Al-Ghaza¯lı¯,   Ih.ya¯  7  , 4:122.22–25 / 2239.22–2240.2; again following al-Zabı¯dı¯,  Ith.a¯f 



al-sa¯da , 9:76.22, who adds the word “glances” ( abs.a¯ra ) to the second sentence. 

  27.  For this identifi cation and division, see also Frank,  Creation ,  43–44. 

  28.  Plato,   Laws I , 644d–646a. In Plato, the heavenly creatures are gods who con-

trol the affections of humans. On the connection between these two texts, see van den 

Bergh, “Ghazali on ‘Gratitude Towards God,’ ” 85. 

  29.  Al-Ghaza¯lı¯,  Mih.akk al-naz.ar , 72.11–16; cf. the English translation in Frank,  Al-

   31.  This sentence is missing from the 1967/68 edition of the   Ih.ya¯   ,  4:103.13, but it 

is in the 1937/39 edition (2213.14–15) as well as in al-Zabı¯dı¯,  Ith.a¯f al-sa¯da , 9:50.13–14. See 

almost the same sentence in   Ih.ya¯ ,  1:104.10–17 / 126.6–19; and in  al-Munqidh ,  23.11–13, 

where he adds that the same is true for the whole nature ( al-t.abı¯ a ). 

  32.  Al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s attitude here is certainly infl uenced by that of Ibn Sı¯na¯, who ac-

cepted the general idea of astrology, namely that events are predetermined by celes-

tial causes, but rejected the way it was conducted by the astrologers because too many 

causes are involved for humans to keep track of them. See Michot in his introduction to 

Ibn Sı¯na¯,  Réfutation de l ’ astrologie ,  76*–79*. 

  33.  Al-Ghaza¯lı¯  Ih.ya¯ 7  , 1:48–49, 57.9–13 / 54–55, 65.12–15. 

  34.  Ibid., 4:146.13–15 / 2272.18–19; al-Zabı¯dı¯,  Ith.a¯f al-sa¯da , 9:118.28–29. See Mar-

mura, “Al-Ghaza¯lı¯,” 151, who inexplicably omits the last part of the sentence. On al-

Ghaza¯lı¯’s position toward astronomy and astrology, see the brief sketch by Saliba, “The 

Ash ¶arites and the Science of he Stars,” 85–87.

  50. The argument is reproduced by Bouyges,  Essai de chronologie , 65, who 

fi nds it sound but not fully convincing. See, for instance, Gairdner, “Al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s 

Mishka¯t al-anwa¯r,” 121. In the introduction to his English translation of  The Niche of 

Lights , xviii–xxi, Buchman recently gave a vocal expression of this mistaken view on 

the chronology of al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s work. See also Watt, “Authenticity of the Works,” 44, 

who dates the  Mishka¯t  to the very end of al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s life in what he calls the  dhawq  

 period. 

  

51. In the  



Mishka¯t , 46.11 / 126.3, 56.15 / 139.1, al-Ghaza¯lı¯ mentions the twenty-fi rst 

book of the   Ih.ya¯ 7   and   al-Maqs.ad al-asna¯ . See Bouyges,  Essai de chronologie ,  65–66;  and 

Hourani, “Revised Chronology,” 299. The latter puts the case clearly when he says that 

there “is no way to attain further accuracy on the date of the  Mishka¯t  between  Jawa¯hir 



al-Qur    7a¯n  and al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s death (. . .).” 

  52.  Watt, “A Forgery in al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s  Mishka¯t ?” I discuss the secondary literature 

on the veil section in my forthcoming article, “Al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s Cosmology in the Veil Sec-

tion of His  Mishka¯t al-Anwa¯r .” 

  53. Not all available editions reproduce a reliable text. Particularly the  editio 

princeps  by Ah.mad  ¶Izzat and Farajalla¯h Zakı¯ al-Kurdı¯ (Cairo: Mat.ba ¶at al-S.idq, 1322 

[1904–5]), which provided the text for several reprints, cannot be relied on.

tion, 2:181, 200. Al-Shahrasta¯nı¯ provides a three-page commentary on Abraham’s dis-

covery of his Lord (Q 6.75–79) within his doxographic treatment of the Sabians, the 

pagan polytheists of antiquity. He interprets the full Qur’anic passage as a historic 

account of how Abraham defeated the “followers of the structures” ( as.h.ab al-haya¯kil ), 

a subgroup of the Sabians, by realizing and pointing out that the “structures” ( haya¯kil ) 

they believe in, that is, the seven celestial bodies, are moved and governed by a su-

perior power. See al-Shahrasta¯nı¯,  al-Milal wa-l-nih.al , 2:247–48; French translation,

  75.  Aristotle’s kinematic proof for God’s existence is developed in Physics, 256a–

259a, and  Metaphysics , 1071b–73a. He uses the idea that every movement is necessar-

ily the effect of a mover to argue that, since there are evidently movements and thus 

movers in the world, there must be somebody or something that has caused the very 

fi rst movement. “First” here is not understood in a temporal meaning but rather in an 

ontological one. Cause and effect must exist simultaneously. Thus God who is the cause 

of the fi rst movement and of the prime mover exists coeternally with this world.

  102.  Gairdner’s assumption that the  mut.a¯ ¶  is a demiurge or a “vicegerent” (“Al-

Ghaza¯lı¯’s Mishka¯t al-Anwa¯r,” 141–43; and idem,  Al-Ghazza¯lı¯ ’ s Mishka¯t al-Anwa¯r ,  10–

25) is not justifi ed. The fi rst intellect has no autonomy and is—in the parlance of the 

 fala¯sifa —simply the fi rst secondary cause even if the relationship between it and God is 

not strictly causal.

. ikma al- arshiyya , 14.6–10. God knows which of the possibilities 

will become actual; see ibid., 9.11–14. Before they become truly existent, the quiddities 

exist, according to Ibn Sı¯na¯, in a state of “divine existence” ( wuju¯d ila¯hı¯ ); see  al-Shifa¯  7

al-Ila¯hiyya¯t , 156.6–8. On the ontological status of the quiddities in Avicenna, see Bäck,

put by Aimé Forest in  La structure métaphysique , 153, 161: “Chez Avicenne les possibles 

s’offrent éternellement à l’action divine, parce qu’ils ne sont pas constitutés comme 

tels par sa volonté. Dieu pense nécessairement sa propre nature, sa liberalité n’est que 

l’acquiescement à cet ordre universel des choses qu’il ne constitue pas. (. . .) [L]es es-

sences sont possible avant d’être, elles sont constituées indépendamment de la volonté 

divine et de la Sagesse.”
