Salvation and Hell in Classical Islamic Thought

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of Islamic eschatology, this work explores classical sources from prominent scholars such as Ibn Sina and al-Ghazali. It intertwines philosophy, theology, and mysticism, particularly proto-Sufism, to analyze their interconnections. A significant emphasis is placed on the doctrines surrounding salvation from Hell, notably the provocative theory of Hell's eventual emptiness, suggesting a transformative vision of the afterlife within Islamic thought.
