Abstract
Al-Ghazālı̄ was a Muslim lawyer, theologian, and mystic. Today al-Ghazālı̄ is regarded as one of the most important kalām scholars in Muslim intellectual history. In his two books The Incoherence of the Philosophers (Tahāfut al-falāsifa) and Moderation in Belief (Al-Iqtiṣād fı̄ al-I‘tiqād), al-Ghazālı̄ makes a significant contribution to the kalām cosmological argument. In this chapter I examine this contribution by surveying al-Ghazālı̄’s cosmological argument.
