Abstract
When Muslim world came into contact with different cultures, and religions, interaction engendered challenges. This invoked different philosophies which tried to reconcile alien ideas with Islamic thought. Development of Islamic philosophy is a magnificent theme. The Muslims interpreted and reconciled the Greco-roman tradition of scientific thinking and philosophy. It was later on transferred to Europe where it blossomed into a renaissance era. On the other hand, a wave of theology and mysticism in the Muslim world shunned this scientific and logical thinking. The aim of this paper is to analyze causes of rise and decline of Muslim philosophy to re-emphasize the spirit of scientific thinking and logical analysis which is the way to progress in this world.
