Salvation and Hell in Classical Islamic Thought

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.
