The Soul after Death by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya

What do we know about the soul deep down? What do we know when it will come out of the body, when it will be brought to another life? This book exposes and details the stages after death, the questions of the angels, the reality of the tomb, and finally the Last Day with the culmination towards Heaven or Hell.

Shaykh Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya relies on the Koranic texts and the Sunna of the Prophet () to describe this reality, yet so close, which escapes our human condition. He also draws conclusions from it on the way in which man must use his earthly life in order to guarantee his life beyond, which is eternal.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya is one of the great scholars of Islam. It was notably with Shaykh Ibn Taymiyya that he acquired his vast knowledge of Islamic sciences.

But Imam Ibn al-Qayyim distinguished himself above all in his in-depth study of Muslim mysticism.

The Muslim Spiritualities collection offers the translation of reference works, written by eminent scholars, ancient and contemporary, on the relationship with God, the elevation of the soul, the invisible world and many other themes related to spirituality.
