Abstract

In this research، I dealt with the life of Ibn Tufail and his works، scholars’ opinions of him، and his criticism of the philosophers. He attracted my attention to him being a brilliant writer in his time inclined to wisdom and the sciences of the early adopters، an investigative scientist and a skilled physician، participating in several arts، and possessing many qualities، and has a method in criticizing philosophers، so he criticized Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina، and he was classified in his criticism، mentioning the pros and cons. He also had a method of research based on pillars، including sensory knowledge، and proofs of Allah’s existence and oneness. The hero of his story was Hayy Ibn Yaqzan، citing Quranic verses that support his philosophical style. In this research، I also dealt with the issue of divinity in the philosophy of Ibn Tufail، dealing with the evidence to prove the existence of Allah in three axes: First: Material and Image Guide, Second: Movement Guide, Third: Care Guide. Ibn Tufail was able، through his philosophy، to prove the existence of Allah with the three evidence mention previously.
