Özet:

This study aims to reveal the views of Abu Hamid al-Ghazâlî (505/1111) on divine attributes. This subject is mainly about the relationship between God and the univers. Therefore, the study will reveal both al-Ghazâlî’s views on divine attributes and an evaluation that includes his views on the relationship between God and His realm. Al-Ghazâlî is a prolific 12th Century scholar. He is a scholar who had significant effects on the following periods due to his attitude towards the subject. Therefore, it was necessary to put forward his approach to the subject and the reasons for this approach. Because al-Ghazâlî is one of the most well-known scholars of Islamic cultural history. It has influenced both its contemporaries and the following centuries in proportion to its awareness. Looking at the scheme of the work, it is seen that he wrote works related to almost every field. Due to this productivity, he gained widespread recognition both in his own period and in the following centuries, and attained a well-deserved reputation. On the other hand, al-Ghazâlî is one of the most published scholars about both domestic and foreign academic circles. As a touchstone in the history of Islamic culture, al-Ghazâlî is the scholar at the point of separation between the previous kalam tradition and the later tradition. In addition to all these, he has been criticized by being accused of bringing the philosophical tradition closer to the Kalam and starting the philosophical theological tradition. There are also those who interpreted the exclusion of philosophy from religious circles in the Islamic cultural tradition, with the influence of al-Ghazâlî. After all these speculative approaches regarding al-Ghazâlî, its understanding of divine attributes had to be revealed.
