<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this work, here presented in a complete English edition for the first time, the problem of knowing God is confronted in an original and stimulating way. Taking up the Prophet's teaching that 'Ninety-nine Beautiful Names' are truly predicated of God, Ghazali explores the meaning and resonance of each of these divine names, and reveals the functions they perform both in the cosmos and in the soul of the spiritual adept. Although some of the book is rigorously analytical, the author never fails to attract the reader with his profound mystical and ethical insights, which, conveyed in his sincere and straightforward idiom, have made of this book one of the perennial classics of Muslim thought, popular among Muslims to this day.</p>This volume won a <strong>British Book Design and Production Award</strong> in 1993.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>...the series as a whole, </i> [<i>is</i>] <i>a significant contribution to our understanding of this key figure in Islamic intellectual thought.</i>--Oliver Leaman "BRISMES Bulletin"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 505/1111), theologian, logician, jurist and mystic, was born and died in Tus in Central Asia, but spent much of his life lecturing at Baghdad or leading the life of a wandering dervish.
