Ghaylan ibn Muslim al-Damashqi, also known as Abu Marwan, was a Muslim scholar of the first century of the Islamic era. His exact name varies: some say it was Muslim, others claim Marwan, and yet another group suggests Yunus. He hailed from Egypt and was originally of Coptic descent. His father, who converted to Islam, became a follower of Uthman ibn Affan. Ghaylan studied under al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Hanafi in Damascus and learned jurisprudence from al-Hasan al-Basri in Basra. His notable contributions include advocating for human free will and challenging the predestination doctrine. Unfortunately, he met a tragic end when Caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik ordered his execution in Damascus. Ghaylan’s thought influenced subsequent theological discussions on free will and destiny, diverging from mainstream Sunni beliefs. His legacy endures as a prominent scholar and preacher of his time.
