Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion of these terms: "philosophers of Islam" and "Islamic thinkers"?
Answer:
There are no philosophers in Islam; this philosophy is not part of Islam. They want philosophers of Islam; they want Ibn Sina, al-Farabi, and al-Tusi, who are disbelievers and atheists. They are not philosophers of Islam, but rather atheists. One does not speak of philosophers in Islam. And religion is not based on thinking; religion is revelation from Allah and legislation from Allah the Exalted. Allah did not entrust us with thinking and ideas, but rather commanded us to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
