They just use a different name because Arabic philosophy was around before Greeks made up the word "philosophy":

But the fact of the matter is that philosophy is an alien entity in the body of Islam. There is no philosophy in Islam and there are no philosophers among Muslims in this deviant sense. Rather in Islam there is certain knowledge and prominent scholars who examine matters. Among the most famous philosophers who were nominally Muslims were al-Kindi, al-Faraabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn Rushd (Averroes).

Which doesn't sound as strange when you realize the ones saying "no philosophy" probably don't speak English (or Greek) as a first language.

Why did you link some random question/answer website and act like it's relevant to all Islam? Like... Are you under the impression it's a unified religion like Catholicism? If so I can probably clarify a whole bunch of shit for you that's relevant to all the Abrhamic religions, because none of the major branches are monoliths

Oh wow.

You should read it again regardless, because you don't seem to have understood it the first time from the false title you used.
