Produktbeschreibung
The mystical Qur'an commentary attributed by the Sufis to Imam Ja Spiritual Gems is the first ever full translation of this important corpus from al-Iadiq. Complete with analytical introduction and scholarly notes, the book contains detailed exposition of the methods and levels of scriptural interpretation used in this commentary and of the cognate ontological continuity between the levels of the human microcosm. The in-depth analysis of the exegetical comments reveals a process of subtle alchemy in keeping with Ja The spirituality of this text is a truly mystical encounter with the truths enunciated by philosophy and religion. In addition to surmounting temporal differences, the inner landscape of the commentary rises above formal differences; by virtue of consisting purely of qualities, it is as relevant today as it was in earlier times.
