The spiritual life in Islam begins with riyadat al-nafs, the inner warfare against the ego. Distracted and polluted by worldliness, the lower self has a tendency to drag the human creature down into arrogance and vice. Only by a powerful effort of will can the sincere worshipper achieve the purity of soul which enables him to attain God's proximity. This translation of two chapters from The Revival of the Religious Sciences (Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din) details the sophisticated spiritual techniques adopted by classical Islam. In the first step, On Disciplining the Soul, which cites copious anecdotes from the Islamic scriptures and biographies of the saints, Ghazali explains how to acquire good character traits, and goes on to describe how the sickness of the heart may be cured. In the second part, Breaking the Two Desires, he focusses on the question of gluttony and sexual desire, concluding, in the words of the Prophet, that 'the best of all matters is the middle way'. The translator has added an introduction and notes which explore Ghazali's ability to make use of Greek as well as Islamic ethics. The work will prove of special interest to those interested in Sufi mysticism, comparative ethics, and the question of sexuality in Islam.… (altro)

La vida espiritual en el Islam comienza con 'riyadat al-nafs', la guerra interior contra el ego. Distraído y contaminado por la mundanalidad, el ser inferior tiende a arrastrar a la criatura humana a la arrogancia y al vicio. Solo con un poderoso esfuerzo de voluntad puede el adorador sincero alcanzar la pureza del alma que le permite alcanzar la proximidad de Dios. Esta traducción de dos capí­tulos de "El renacimiento de las ciencias religiosas" ("Ihya '' Ulum al-Din") detalla las sofisticadas técnicas espirituales adoptadas por el Islam clásico. En el primer paso, "Sobre la disciplina del alma", que cita anécdotas abundantes de las escrituras y biografí­as islámicas de los santos, Ghazali explica cómo adquirir buenos rasgos de carácter y continúa describiendo cómo se puede curar la enfermedad del corazón. En la segunda parte, "Rompiendo los dos deseos", se enfoca en la cuestión de la gula y el deseo sexual, concluyendo, en palabras del Profeta, que "el mejor de todos los asuntos es el camino del medio". El traductor ha agregado una introducción y notas que exploran la capacidad de Ghazali para hacer uso de la ética griega e islámica. El trabajo será de especial interés para aquellos interesados en el misticismo sufi, la ética comparativa y la cuestión de la sexualidad en el Islam. -
