Ibn Qudāma al-Maqdisī · d. 689 AH Advanced Planned

Al-Ghazālī’s Iḥyāʾ, abridged and its weak reports removed by a Ḥanbalī jurist. The usual way the inward sciences are taught at length without carrying the Iḥyāʾ’s problems with it.

The text

Public domain — read it at a library

Al-Maktaba al-Shāmila — the whole abridgement

Ibn Qudāma died in 689 AH.

In English — ours

Not yet. We translate rather than reprint, so the English for this book begins the day its first lesson is taught.

We link rather than mirror. The classical texts are out of copyright, but the modern printed editions of them are not, so we point you at a library that already carries one instead of putting somebody else’s edition on our server. What we do host is our own work.

Lessons

Not written yet. This book is on the map so you can see where it sits in the course, not because it is ready to study here.
