Two of Goumah's letters to the grand mufti at the age of 18, were published in Rashid Rida's book on Muhammad Adbuh, with Rashid commenting on one of them: Both Gohary and Abduh were icons of enlightenment, and they both became pillars of Goumah's intellectual structure.

His book "History of Islamic Philosophers in the East and West" is considered one of the finest references written on the subject to date.
