It has been widely argued that Ibn Rushd better known in the West by his Latin name Averroes, was anti-religious. This paper aims to discuss whether or not that argument is correct. To do so, I wish to focus on the Andalusian image of Ibn Rushd rather than the Western image of Averroes. This paper is divided into two parts. First, by appealing to the relationship between law(sharī‘a) and philosophy in the Muslim world, I will show that Ibn Rushd was friendly to religion in his Decisive Treatise. Second, a long interpretation suggests that Averroes disguised and concealed his genuine view of religion on his part to avoid censure. However, it is my contention that his view of religion is indeed an honest expression of his own position.
