 | | As a religion, to Al Farabi, the Mulsim faith was able to present truth in a symbolic manner to non-philosophers, who are not quite capable to find truth in its genuine existence. | | | Furthermore, in Al Farabi, religion is the unifying element in any society. | | | Through his copious interpretations of the logical works of Aristotle, Al Farabi was the first to explain in Arabic the full set of the scientific and nonscientific figures of argument. |

| | His dismissal of al Ghazali’s charges was based on an allegorical interpretation of the dicta of religion, thus diluting the religious claim in order to accommodate philosophy. | | | Like al Kindi before him, al Farabi defined God as the necessary being whose essence is to be, to live, to know, to create, to love. | | | In metaphysics, al Farabi built his system on God as necessary ground of all being, and found in the Gnostic legacy confirmation of this primary premise of Islam. |

| | Farabi exercised great influence on science and knowledge for several centuries. | | | In contrast to some of the Muslim philosophers, e.g., Farabi, he portrayed the inability of reason to comprehend the absolute and the infinite. | | | Unfortunately, the book Theology of Aristotle, as was available to him at that time, was regarded by him as genuine, although later on it turned out to be the work of some Neoplatonic writer. |

| | Aristotle also contended with success against the theories of Plato, Socrates, and the theists who had preceded him, and separated himself entirely from them; but he could not eliminate from his doctrine the stains of infidelity and heresy which disfigure the teaching of his predecessors. | | | Here they can no longer satisfy the laws of rigorous argumentation such as logic demands, and this is what explains the disputes which arise between them in the study of metaphysics. | | | We should therefore consider them all as unbelievers, as well as the so-called Muslim philosophers, such as Ibn Sina [Avicenna] and Al Farabi, who have adopted their systems. |

| | Such usage constitutes language and is conventional, being part of a form of life in which, say, we understand that particular sounds (al, bayt, saghir) denote particular objects (house) or relations (of size) and so on. | | | Grammar provides the rules for these conventional uses of sounds, expressions, and words within language.56 In human speech, we use sounds by convention in expressions to refer to meanings; in written language, letters represent expressions and convey meanings because they follow agreed conventions. |
