As a youth Ha-Levi lived a life of pleasure. He mixed pleasure with learning. It is possible that Judah's father, Samuel "the Castilian," sent Judah, who was his only son, to Lucena to be educated in the various branches of Jewish learning at the school of Isaac Alfasi. On the death of his master, Judah composed an elegy (Brody, "Diwan des Abul-Ḥasan Jehuda ha-Levi," ii., No. 14, p. 100). It was probably in Lucena, too, that Judah won the friendship of Alfasi's most prominent pupil ...

Independent minds exploiting the methods of ijtihad sought to investigate the doctrines of the Qur'an, which until then had been accepted in blind faith on the authority of divine revelation. The first independent protest was that of the Qadar (Arabic: qadara, to have power), whose partisans affirmed free will, in contrast with the Jabarites (jabar, force, constraint), who maintained the belief in fatalism. In the second century of the Hegira, a schism arose in the theological schools of Basra, Iraq. A pupil, Wasi ...

This sort of fideism has a long history in Christianity. It can plausibly be argued as an interpretation of 1 Corinthians, wherein Paul says: For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe . . . For the foolishness of God is wiser than (the wisdom of) men (1 Cor. 1:21, 25) Paul's contrast of the folly of the Gospel with earthly wisdom may relate to a statement made Jesus himself, recorded in Luke 10:21:

He also mixed with the Muslim_Brotherhood, and exchanged views with Sayyid Qutb. Many of his early al-Azhar colleagues lat ...

Next to God, the Jewish people stands nearest to his heart: their sufferings and hopes are his. Like the authors of the Psalms, he gladly sinks his own identity in the wider one of the people of Israel; so that it is not always easy to distinguish the personality of the speaker. Often Judah's poetic fancy finds joy in the thought of the "return" of his people (to the "Promised Land"). The period of political agitation about 1130, when Islam (so intensely hated by the poet), was gradually losing ground before the victorious arms of the ...

The fideist therefore "urges reliance on faith rather than reason, in matters philosophical and religious," and therefore may go on to disparage the claims of reason. The fideist seeks truth, above all: and affirms that reason cannot achieve certain kinds of truth, which must instead be accepted only by faith. Plantinga's defini ...
