In Ghazalian epistemology, Reason and Intuition are the two main sources of human knowledge. We can recognize things with the help of reason or Aql as Ghazali says it is the basic apprehending faculty. Besides reason, he also considered that humans are also bestowed with intuition. Intuitional type of knowledge is the highest type of knowledge. By this knowledge one can comprehend the hidden secrets of the universe. The aim of this paper is to bring light on the different facets of Reason and Intuition with reference to Al Ghazali and meanwhile could his epistemology make a man free from all anxieties and doubts.
