Translation By Prof G G Jalbani
Publisher: National Hijra Council, Islamabad, Pakistan
Pages: 293, Paperback
In this work Shah Wali Allah has discussed many philosophical themes. He does not take philosophy as probing into the subtleties of speculation in which philosophers are interested, or knowing the reality of the disclosures made by the mystics in an intuitive state of mind. The study of Philosophy, according to him, is useful because it guides man in his search for wisdom, pursuit of knowledge and study of natural sciences. SHAH WALIYULLAH (1702-1763) was among the later scholars who carried the traditions of Al-Ghazzali and Imam Shatibi in combining the essential of Shari'ah, its understanding, development and interpretation to the issues and problems of life. He like Al-Ghazzali took deep stock of Akhira as the explaining point of the relationship between worldly existence and the Hereafter in a meaningful way.
