Présentation de l'éditeur

Alchemy of Happiness was written towards the end of Al Ghazzali's life. Al Ghazzali was a Persian theologian, philosopher, and prolific Sunni author regarded as one of the greatest systematic Persian thinkers of Islam. The factor that set his works apart from other theological works at the time was its mystical emphasis on self-discipline and asceticism. Al Ghazzali succeeded in gaining widespread acceptance for Sufism.

Présentation de l'éditeur

« In form, the book contains a treatise on practical piety, but as is the case with a large proportion of Mohammedan works, the author, whatever may be his subject, finds a place for observations reaching far wide of his apparent aim, so our author is led to make many observations which develop his notions in anatomy, physiology, natural philosophy and natural religion » Henry A. Homes
