Abu al-Hassan Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Amiri (Persian: ابوالحسن محمد بن ابی ذر یوسف عامری نیشابوری, romanized: Abu’l-Ḥasan Muḥammad Ibn Abi Dharr Yūsuf ʻĀmirī Neyshābūrī) (Arabic: أبو الحسن محمد ابن يوسف العامري) (died 992) was a Muslim theologian and philosopher who attempted to reconcile philosophy with religion, and Sufism with conventional Islam. While al-'Amiri believed the revealed truths of Islam were superior to the logical conclusions of philosophy, he argued that the two did not contradict each other. Al-'Amiri consistently sought to find areas of agreement and synthesis between disparate Islamic sects. Read more on Wikipedia
