Sinopsis

Al-Ghazali&rsquo,s classic commentary upon the Quranic verse of lights is translated with authentic excellence by William Henry Temple Gairdner.A revered Islamic philosopher, theologian and astronomer of the 11th century, Al-Ghazali&rsquo,s commentaries upon religious topics are celebrated along with his more scientific works. The mystical nature of the Verse of Light fascinated scholars of Islam, its passages are considered many-faceted in meaning, its beauty and evocative imagery an example of the rich literary prowess present in the Holy Qur&rsquo,an.The first half of this book contains an extensive scholarly analysis of Al-Ghazali, his life, writings and ideas on a variety of pertinent topics. Through these informed essays we are immersed in the culture of Medieval-era Islamic society, and prepared for the translation of the Mishkat which follows. Gairdner&rsquo,s guidance is poignant and well-written, allowing the curious reader to appreciate the symbolism that underpins the philosophy of Islamic thinkers. Scholars of the era considered the Qur&rsquo,an as a guiding light upon matters of science and learning as well as religious observance, and such concepts are voiced in studies like the Mishkat.
