This groundbreaking translation revives Imam Raghib al-Isfahani’s seminal ethical treatise, integrating Qur’anic principles with philosophical depth. Isfahani’s timeless exploration of moral virtue, the soul and spiritual refinement is characterized by his unique weaving of Qur’anic verses and prophetic traditions into ethical discourse.
“You hold in your hands one of the most important books of the Islamic tradition. The proof of Islam, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, memorised by heart Kitab al-Dhari’a. Anyone familiar with Imam Ghazali’s works will recognise the immense influence this book had on him… We owe a great debt to Dr Yasien Mohamed for bringing this exceptional work into English… With excellent knowledge of Arabic and English, coupled with a serious background in ethics, he provides us with a translation that works well and conveys the contents of the Imam’s works.”
