Abstract enIn this article it is tried to clarify the thoughts of 18th century’s Scottish philosopher David Hume’s and 11th century’s ıranian islamic philosopher Gazali’s about causality problem. Causality is commonly being identified as “an event and the effects are interconnected to eachother in a particular way, there is always a reason for anything in the nature or that everthing can be explained by attributing to an event, the assertion that the same causes will give the same result at the same conditions or the principle, which states the obligation of the relation between the event and effect”. Causality problem has been a topic of discussion throughout the history of philosophy. Gazzali explains causality as evitable by associating with the puissance of almighty God and habit. On the other hand, David Hume associated causality with habits and inclinations. So, he came to the same conclusion and criticised causality. Nothwithstanding they had similiar ideas, it is revealed that they are differences in terms of understanding and interpreting. At the present time, it is known that the effects of this two thinkers still have an important place
