Recently on Twitter, I saw a guy spreading a guy saying that Al-Ghazali didn't understand Ibn Sina's philosophy or philosophy in general and there is a consensus among the so-called Islamic philosophy tradition that Ghazali's understanding of philosophy was incompetent. So I emailed Peter Adamson to know, is this true that is Al-Ghazali incompetent? Did he misunderstand the philosophy tradition? And as you can see in the response, Peter Adamson said the quite opposite. Al-Ghazali is a competent person in philosophy, and he fully understood Avicenian metaphysics. So I think this myth needs to die out that Al-Ghazali misunderstood Ibn Sina, and I think also there are certain people, even in academia, that still push this myth. I'm not accusing anyone of spreading false information in academia, For example, Dr. Khalil retweeted his post, and retweeting a post is not the endorsement of a particular view, but without context, it can easily spread misinformation among the common people.
