Shii News – Al-Ghazālī and of Ismaʿili Cosmology

Merits of the Bāṭiniyya : Al-Ghazālī’s Appropriation of Ismaʿili Cosmology | Journal of Islamic Studies | Oxford Academic

This paper discusses the question of an Ismaʿili influence within the cosmology of al-Ghazālī and argues that al-Ghazālī appropriated certain features of the Ismaʿili cosmology from the Persian Ismaʿili thought of Nāṣir-i Khusraw (d. ca. 481/1088).
