Ibn Suleiman Cabirol, a citizen of the state of the Umayyad Andalusian, was trained within the Islamic culture and civilization. Ibn Cabirol did not deal with the issue of single or double truth in terms of reason and revelation as they were discussed by both Ibn Rushd and Maimonides. Neither he did discuss the issues of free will and predestination. He mostly followed the route of Muslim philosophers rather than Muslim theologians/mutakallimûn. He generally tackled with the problems of form and matter and will. Although he was raised in the same environment with the well known philosophers of Islam like İbn Bâcce, Ibn Tufail and Ibn Rushd, he did not have the same fame they had. Interestingly enough, Jewish and Christian scholars followed him instead of Muslim ones
