Al Budoor Al Bazighah: The Rising Moons: البدور البازغة (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798825088471)

In this work Shah Wali Allah has discussed many philosophical themes. He does not take philosophy as probing into the subtleties of speculation in which philosophers are interested, or knowing the reality of the disclosures made by the mystics in an intuitive state of mind.

The study of Philosophy, according to him, is useful because it guides man in his search for wisdom, pursuit of knowledge and study of natural sciences.

About The Author

Qutb al-Din Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Rahim, popularly known as Shah Waliullah, lived at a critical juncture of Muslim history. India had enjoyed the peaceful and prosperous rule of the Mughals for more than 200 years, but by the time of Shah Wali Allah, mutually hostile principalities had begun to emerge.

Many of the newly emerging quasi independent states were the result of the rising influence of the militant Maratha, Sikh and Hindu communities and Muslim power and glory in the sub-continent, as in other parts of the world, were gradually eroded. It was at this time of utter despair and despondency for Muslims that Shah Wali Allah was born.

He is among the later scholars who carried the traditions of Al-Ghazzali and Imam Shatibi in combining the essential of Shari'ah, its understanding, development and interpretation to the issues and problems of life. He like Al-Ghazzali took deep stock of Akhira as the explaining point of the relationship between worldly existence and the Hereafter in a meaningful way.
