Al Ghazzali’s works were so widely studied that it is hardly possible to suppose that Maimonides was not influenced by them. The influence may have been direct, as Maimonides was not only a student in Spain but also physician in the court of Saladin in Alexandria. Indirectly the influence may have come through the Jewish poet Yehuda Halevi. [10] op. cit. p. 179. [11] This list is taken from _A Chronological List of Muslim Works on Religion and Philosophy_ which has been for a short time in preparation at the Seminar for the Comparative Study of Religions, Baroda, by Professor J. ur Rehman of Hyderabad, and Professor F. S. Gilani of Surat, Fellows of the Seminar. The list has been compared with that of Shibli in his Urdu life of Ghazali (Cawnpore 1902) whose classification is followed with slight modification. [12] _Ihya_ III. 1. [13] This word is used both for _Rasul_ and _Nabi_, but the Muslim notion of _Rasul_ differs from that of _Nabi_. Malachi was a prophet (_Nabi_), but Moses was more than a prophet (_Rasul_). Thus in _St. Matthew_ XI. 9 we have: “But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet”. [14] Abuhuraira’s report given in Bokhari and Muslim. [15] Reported by Abuhuraira in Ahmad’s _Masnav_. Egypt 1300 A. H. [16] _Quran_ XXXIII. 72.

[19] It is interesting to note here the following passage from a modern European author: “If we form a conception of a Perfect or Infinite Mind it is in this sense that we must speak of such a mind as free. To speak of choice between alternatives is to suggest that another than the best might be chosen and this would be inconsistent with the idea of perfection.
