Mohammed Rustom presents nearly eight hundred passages in translation (most of which appear here for the first time in English) from ''Ayn al-Quat''s Arabic and Persian writings alongside a step-by-step commentary that outlines every major theme that guides his worldview. Contextualizing ''Ayn al-Quat''s life, influence, and self-perception as a teacher and scholar extraordinaire, the book then carefully unpacks his highly original teachings on God, cosmology, human agency, spiritual practice, imagination, death, knowledge, scripture, beauty, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039805505879,"sku":"9781438494296","price":65.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/inrushes-of-the-heart-9781438494296","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
