Philosophy Of Causality

The Philosophy of Causality is a branch of metaphysical inquiry within Islamic philosophy that examines the nature, structure, and principles of causal relationships, distinguishing itself by integrating Aristotelian causal theory with theological doctrines of divine unity and occasionalism to explain the dependency of all contingent beings on God as the primary cause.
