This book stands alone in the literature of its genre. Not only is this
the first English translation of Isfahanis al-Dhar >ah, it also
emphatically conveys the idea that knowledge is socialised, albeit
religious. This is especially inviting considering the role that al-Ghazl
played, and is still playing, as the gate-keeper of Islamic knowledge. In
the end, training as an Ethical Philosopher, an in-depth knowledge of
Islamic history and a scholarly command of the Arabic language
constitute the gestalt needed to complete a project as comprehensive as
this text. The excellence of this work speaks volumes of Mohameds
abilities in all of the above.
