I have attempted to do so in the following pages, and I hope that the author’s wisdom and eloquence has penetrated through the transformation from Arabic to English. I found it very appealing, and thought almost immediately that it would be a beautiful work to translate. The letter was written in a concise and almost simplistic style, though the message imparted was one of great spiritual depths. With further study, however, I came to see that it was in fact an independent text, and was actually a short letter of advice and wisdom on preparing for death. It drew my attention because it was a small work written by the esteemed Imam Al-Ghazali, rahimahullah (may Allah have mercy on him), author of the magisterial Ihya Ulum ad-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences), spiritual master and scholar, and the individual who has been historically credited with merging the outward and inner sciences of Islamic law.ĭue to its brevity I assumed that the booklet was an excerpt taken from one of Imam Al-Ghazali’s more substantial works. It was a tiny booklet hidden away on a corner shelf, tucked in-between much larger volumes, as if it was patiently waiting to be discovered. I came across Risalat Sharh as-Sadr at the Dar as-Salaam Bookstore in Cairo a few months ago. Translated by Shazia Ahmad Introduction by the Translator
