The Eternity of the World

Al-Razali was of course a philosopher, he was also as I said a legal scholar and thirdly he was also a political thinker. For him the main goal in political philosophy was the validity of divinely revealed law of Sharia. If ordinary people would not know that their deeds are known to God firstly, then they would no longer heed the law. So there's no reason for them to be good in other words. The two latter ones are connected to the making people better in this world because they fear the punishment in the next world or they strive to acquire the reward in the next one.
