作者介紹
作者介紹 Fouad Aresmouk grew up in a traditional Marrakesh family, the son of an Arabic teacher in the public school system and grandson of one of the most renowned Qur' an teachers in Marrakesh and muqaddam for the Tijani Sufi order. Fouad completed his degree in Islamic Studies and Arabic at Qadi Ayyad University, Marrakesh, also pursuing a personal study of Sufism in Morocco that continues today. He is the author of al-Rashad fi zabdati alawrad, a commentary (shar?) on the litany of the ?abibiyya Sufi order of Morocco, and co-translator of several works, including in the Fons Vitae Ghazali series. Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 1111) was a leading scholar, jurist, and theologian of the golden age of Islam, and he remains its truest advocate in modern times. As a teacher of both inward and outward faith, he recorded these practical teachings in his forty-book compendium of Islamic knowledge. Originally from California, Abdurrahman Fitzgerald and his wife migrated to Morocco in the late 1970s. He has since been involved in education and the study of Arabic, Islam, and Sufism. He is co-translator of Ibn al-Qayyim on the Invocation of God (Islamic Texts Society, 2000) and, with Fouad Aresmouk, has translated two portions of Ibn ?Ajiba's Quranic commentary, al-Ba?r al-Madid, Ibn ?Ajiba's spiritual glossary, The Book of Ascension, five books in Fons Vitae's al-Ghazali's series, Letters on the Spiritual Path by Mulay al?Arabi al-Darqawi, and the Diwan of Sidi Mu?ammad ibn al-?abib.
