Abstract

Happiness, as the ultimate goal of every individual, continues to be a never-ending topic of discussion.

Al-Farabi, an Aristotelian, and Al-Ghazali, a sharp critic of this school, encourage us to explore the nature and approach to happiness from their perspectives. Taking into account the differences in their philosophical backgrounds, this study aims to detail the ideas related to happiness promoted by Al-Ghazali and Al-Farabi.
