Al-Ghazali ( The Rememberance of Death and the Afterlife)

This is a first English translation of a key section of Al-Ghazali's Revival of the Religion Sciences. (Ihya Ulum Al-Din), widely regarded as the greatest work of Muslim spirtiuality.
Its theme is of universal interest: death, and the life to come. After expounding contemplation of human mortality to the mystical way of self-purification, Al-Ghazali takes his readers through the stages of the future life: the vision of the Angels of the Grave, the Resurrection, the Intercession of the Prophets, and finally, the torments of Hell, the delights of Paradise, and - for the elect - the beatific vision of God's Countenance.

The Imam Al-Ghazali designed this text to be the final flourish to his forty-book Revival of the Religious Sciences (in Arabic, Ihya Ulum Aldin), his magisterial exposition of the Islamic faith which is generally accalimed as the definitive summa theologica of Islam.
