In the historical record of Islamic thoughts, this issue has become a subject of sharp polemic amongst Muslim thinkers. The creation of the universe as it is known is one of the important matters not only in Islamic thought (Islamic Theology, Sufism and Islamic Philosophy) but also in the field of cosmology.

However, they disagreed in determining the process. It has become the belief of Muslims that the universe or nature was created by Allah SWT. Cosmology in this study is defined as a theory about the origin of the universe (Al-Attas 2005 Ellis 2014 Steiner 1996). Keywords: cosmology emanation philosophy rationalists traditionalists.Ĭosmology started when man began to wonder, 'hat is beyond the horizon and what occurred before the earliest occurrence I can remember?' (Alfvén 1977:1) Cosmology is also concerned with the harmony of the universe (Wikandaru, Lasiyo & Sayuti 2018). In particular, it wants to bridge the differences regarding the concept of cosmology as put forward by Ibn Sina and Al-Ghazali and how Ibn Rushd bridges the two This study seeks to elaborate on the thought of Ibn Rushd's cosmology which is different from that of Ibn Sina and Al-Ghazali.ĬONTRIBUTION: This research provides a clear understanding of the cosmological thoughts put forward by earlier Muslim thinkers. In this conflict of thought between the two groups, Averroes (Ibn Rushd) proposed a cosmological thought different from the two. The traditionalists, represented by Al-Ghazali and the Ash'ariyah theologians, put forward their cosmological thinking on the principle of God's absolute will, while the rationalists, especially those represented by Avicenna (Ibn Sina), proposed their cosmological thinking based on the theory of emanation from Plotinus in terms of its creation and the concept of a geocentric Ptolameus in terms of its structure. In fact, there are also many polemics of thought that occur amongst Muslim scholars, which can be divided into two main groups: traditionalists and rationalists. This study is based on the many cosmological problems in Islam as aspects of thought that receive serious attention.
