Author Information

ʿAyn al-Quḍāt (Author) ʿAyn al-Quḍāt (d. 525/1131) was a philosopher, mystic, and judge who was born in the western Iranian city of Hamadān. He was the student of Aḥmad al-Ghazālī (d. 520/1126), the brother of the famous Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111). A maverick figure, he was put to death by the Seljuqs at the age of thirty-four, ostensibly on charges of heresy. Mohammed Rustom (Edited and Translated by) Mohammed Rustom is Professor of Islamic Studies at Carleton University. An internationally recognized scholar whose works have been translated into over ten languages, he specializes in Sufism, Islamic philosophy, and Qurʾanic exegesis. He is author of The Triumph of Mercy: Philosophy and Scripture in Mullā Ṣadrā and Inrushes of the Heart: The Sufi Philosophy of ʿAyn al-Quḍāt; co-editor of The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary; and translator of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī's Condemnation of Pride and Self-Admiration.
