"Al-Ghazālī’s philosophical work spans epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, natural philosophy, and ethics. His philosophical work had a wide-reaching influence within the Islamic world, and his Incoherence of the Philosophers, in particular, was well-received by other medieval philosophers and the Latin philosophical tradition."

Well worth reading, e.g., 2. Skepticism in the Deliverance from Error, comparison with Descartes.

An early experience that shaped the scholarly character of al-Ghazālī was when his caravan was raided during his travels. Al-Ghazālī demanded from the leader of the robbers that his notebooks and texts not be seized from him. When the robber asked al-Ghazālī what these writings were, Al-Ghazālī responded by saying “My writings contain all of the knowledge that I have acquired during my travels.” The leader then asked al-Ghazālī: “If you claim that you possess this knowledge, then how can I take it away from you?” Al-Ghazālī was deeply moved by this question, regarding this utterance of the robber as divine sent, and afterwards resolved to commit everything he studied to memory.
