A Study On Atribution of “Arbaein al-Haqayeq” (Forty Facts) to Ghazali
There is a facsimile copy of a manuscript, no. 113, in Minavi library which has a copy of “Arba’ein al-Haqayeq” (Forty Facts), a treatise that attributed to al-Ghazali. Studying this treatise shows it is not from Ghazali. Because, first of all, there are a few doctrines which are in contradiction to Ghazali’s thoughts, such as of interpreting of the verse of Kuran (7:172) about which Ghazali says it should be understand far from its literal meaning, or eliminating saying orally the Islamic words or acting according to Islamic laws from faith ; secondly, the style of writing is not like of Ghazali himself or even his era; thirdly, the manuscripts that we have in hand is a new one, to such a extent that they are not reliable to attributed to him based on oldness of codices. In this paper I prove that this work is not from Ghazali’s pen.
