Overview

The 40-book Ihya' 'Ulum-Al Din—Revival of the Religious Sciences—has for centuries been the most read work in the Muslim world after the Qur’an, and this key volume of the Ihya is considered by many to be the Summa Theologica of Islam. These traditional teaching stories, which use the theme of the heart as a mirror, illustrate key tenets of Islam on the requirements of religion, living in society, and the inner life of the soul.

Reviews

"This is a book which all Muslims should cherish in their personal libraries. Without it one would lose the beauty and richness of our Islamic heritage."  —Dr. Mustafa Ceric, Grand Mufti of Bosnia
