Abstract

The Muslim philosophers in spite of the variety of place in which they lived or wrote their works have a undeniable similiarity in the themes of their writings and in the questiuon which they raised and attempted to answer. Anawati points out three factors that unite the themes of the muslim philosophers : 1) they had the same starting point viz. the Quranic truths and the everyday teachings of islam, 20they saw thier philosophy as a conmtinuation of past wisdoms, 3) they were convinced of the oneness of all knowledge crowned by metaphysicsor Illahiyat
