In the aftermath of the translation activities in the 9 and 10 1 century, the Muslim East and the West witnessed a great deal of intellectual efforts on the part of the Muslim philosophers to harmonize the religious teaching and the newfangled line of thinking.1 There is no doubt that the transmission of Greek thought brought along certain metaphysical speculations that were apparently viewed to be at odds with Islamic revelation, which presented its own system of thought on many intellectual issues. At such an intersection of religious and philosophical thought begins the struggle of the philosopher in the Muslim community. And the outcome of this struggle was the considerable high volume of writings on the part of the philosophically minded in an effort to create a room for philosophical endeavor in view of the manner in which people perceived it.
