Worship In Islam: Being A Translation With Commentary And Introduction Of Al-Ghazzali’S Book Of The Ihya’ On The Worship [Hardcover]

Language: English. About the Book:-The author has prepared this rare volume painstakingly. Accordingly, when a person unacquainted with the doctrines and exercises of the Christian religion attends a cathedral service or reads a Christian devotional book, he undoubtedly notices many acts and many phrases that are new and strange to him, and that require explanation before he understands them. Similarly, one who does not have a Muslim training finds it difficult to understand what he or she sees and hears when observing a Muslim at worship alone or with others in a mosque. The eleventh century writer Al-Ghazzali supplies the required information in his Book of the Worship, of which the present work is a translation. The Introduction brings together the acts and utterances which constitute the formal ceremony, which is still practiced today, called 'the Worship', and gives an account of the times when this ceremony is used in the religious life of the Muslim. Annotations attempt to make clear the allusions and the technical terms, the knowledge of which al-Ghazzali takes for granted because he wrote his description of the Worship for Muslims. This book will assist missionaries and others, with or without a knowledge of Arabic, to understand the ideas and emotions which are expressed by the Muslim peoples in their most important religious ceremony.
