During hajj , I'd spend some time in the library ( now razed ) just opposite Masjid Haram . The assistant librarian , a Pakistani , told me there was an order from the ministry to collect all books of Imam Ghazali and send it to Riyadh . They were destroyed en mass .

This applies to Ibn Sina afortiori

If you're curious about why the Taliban refer to themselves as 'Alaam,' (scientist) it traces back to Ghazali. He argued that science and mathematics were the work of the devil, urging Muslims instead to find scientific knowledge within Islam. And... they did

You are making stuff up now lol

"The second evil follows from the study of the mathematical sciences" AL-GHAZ Deliverance from Error, page 9.

Brings to mind Ibn Arabi

You see the exact same thing with modern Christian scholars compared to our Medieval scholars or even fathers of Antiquity

Al Ghazali is a classical scholar?

Thank you
