Al-Ghazali on the Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife

Al-Ghazali. This is the first English translation of a key section of Al-Ghazali's Revical of the Religious Sciences, widely regarded as the greatest work of Muslim spirituality. The theme is of universal interest: death, and the life to come. After expounding his Sufi philosophy of death, and showing the importance of the contemplation of human mortality to the mystical way of self-purification, Al-Ghazali takes his readers through the stages of the future life: the vision of the Angels of the Grave, the Resurrection, the Intercession of the Prophets, and finally, the Torments of Hell and the Delights of Paradise. Paperbound, 348 pages.
