Author: Imam alGhazaliTranslated by Jane Idleman smithPublisher: Islamic Book TrustPages: 170 Binding: SOFTCOVERSIZE A6 (18cm x 11.5cm)"All major religions have dealt with questions of life after death, although ma do not treat it in detail as have Muslim theologians and traditionists. The present text attributed to Imam alGhazali was based on a translation of his Durrah alFakhirah (The Precious Pearl). AlGhazali gives a much less theoretical description than in his other works, and makes much use of stories and traditions. Ma of these traditions are common in Islamic sources, particularly those giving details of the period immediately after death and the events of the eschaton. Throughout this book, alGhazali stresses on the freeing of the soul from the body, the comparison of death with the sleep of this world, and the eternal abiding in the presence of God."
