Kalam Cosmological Arguments

I'm someone who appreciates brevity because of my time and i get this book very interesting, clear and concise. I just wait another book of this subject in the future, because it is a good work. Let us see more islamic philosophy, theology and classical texts translated or written and put out there for the public. I searched books of this sort a long and they are rare or non-existent. The only books that i got was some historic philosophy books of the islamic middle ages written by Peter Adamson which are all new and some few others but there is a great leap of history when it comes to islamich philosophy and what was been there between the era of the greeks and the renaissance. This time of literature is too rare and books of this sort with muslim perspective are rarer. A nice and a different perspective.

A must read for all those who are interested in didactic theology and philosophy of religion. The book starts by explaining the arguments made by Ghazali and Ibn Sina and then Ibn taymiyyah and ending it with what the author presents as a the strongest form of the argument for the existence of God. On a side note though, the existence of God is so obvious that to show His existence is like showing someone the sun in broad day light. You can know His existence in the smallest sub-atomic particles to the massive planets. For the believers, logic and philosophical arguments are just a way to prove what they already know and show the unbelievers that its not just blind faith.

Speaks about the viewpoints of Ibn Sina, Al Ghazali, Maimonides, and many other great philosophers and thinkers of humanity. Great intro into the subject, vocabulary is a bit dense so i had to refer to the dictionary a few times (which is good), but a great book altogether.

This deserves a 5 star review due to the thorough breakdown of the philosophical and theological arguments for the existence of God. The book does not demean the reader by superficially explaining concepts and holding your hand throughout, but rather, presents them and leaves the reader to ponder on their significance.

this is a brief book but is very detailed and a deep read. It requires you to think about stuff, but it clearly demonstrates its point and provides clear undeniable evidence!

Mohamed Hijab has outdone himself. His writing exudes thorough academic research and his ability to define and explain necessary/independent existence and possible/dependent existence was phenomenal. Quite honestly he dismantles the argument for multi-verses, and the concept of the trinity all the while providing a logical argument consistent from first principles on why there can only be one necessary existence.

A powerful book filled with strong logical arguments. Well worth the read. The book is clearly a result of years of academic research, and a brilliant mind.

It's a very good book to read if you are a student of philosophy and science. The cover and page material is very good, however, work on the font size and page size in your next book.

Muy bueno el libro, hay ciertos razonamientos que nunca tuve en cuenta y creo que son muy interesantes.

It's a short very well constructed book to open your eyes, or rather your mind, to maybe new questions, that push you to ponder further and beyond what's mentionned.

I really liked this book. The arguments presented in the book are well written and explained. Mohamed Hijab has done an amazing job. What an amazing book

Book un peu petite que vous pouvez lire en 2 jours mais ça va vous donner une idée sur les philosophes musulmans.

This book it well laid out, it's my first attempt to understand Kalam cosmological arguments. I've read the book cover to cover twice and still processing some of it but with a copious amount of references, it acts as a great launchpad to wider works, especially those which are in Arabic and generally not available to English readers. Also, the references are in the main body of the book, therefore, it's much more useful than having to constantly scan the back pages when making notes. For clarity, I do believe in God but having discussions with friends or rather acquaintances I found myself needing to actually evaluate what this belief was based on or whether it was an innate acceptance. If the latter, attempting to use intelligence/intellect to see if this innate belief is valid. I would suggest for a future version or a new book to be more expansive and take the form of a primer. There are many theological terms used in the book, some are explained briefly, others are not which requires a separate investigation/research. Hopefully this is the first of many books which can expand this type of literature in English.
