Al-Ghazali reveals consistent philosophical system of thought grounding of knowledge and ‘what’ is the source of knowledge. From his point of view his first challenge is the source of knowledge rather than ’what’ is knowledge. Ghazali, begins by questioning whether experimental knowledge and the essential knowledge which is accepted as a must by the mind, can be qualified as knowledge or not. Ghazali, tries to solve the problem by considering experimental data in the first step, thinks that this kind of information is misleading. What is misleading, can not objectively be as the source of the knowledge. Soon thereafter, Al-Ghazali deals with the mind. Because the mind is superior to the sensory data, but Al-Ghazali cannot reach satisfaction through this inquiry which is about the mind. Because the human mind can imagine two contradictory things at the same time, or make him envision something that does not exist. How can the knowledge be obtained, with two conditions on us to get the knowledge, sensory data, and the mind, if we don’t trust them? Is it not possible to obtain the knowledge? Ghazali, after initiating a mental dialectic about the possibility of absolute knowledge now is in tangled doubt, believes that the requirement to recover the mind from this state. He claims that this can only be possible by the light which God put into human’s heart and the person can obtain the information as a result of such a process. This is the intuition knowledge.
