إثبات المعرفة المسمّى نور الحقيقة ونَوْر الحديقة

English

While the entirety of "Nūr al-ḥaqīqa wa-nawr al-ḥadīqa" hasn't reached us, it's deemed an indispensable resource for anyone studying or interested in theology and its history. There are two primary reasons for this acclaim: Firstly, the depth of knowledge exhibited by its au-thor, Al-Qazwīnī, his rigorous examination of issues, and his ability to engage in constructive dialogue and critique without bias. Secondly, the book is regarded as a pinnacle in the field of elucidating the knowledge of God Almighty. Its impeccable organization, concise yet eloquent expression, refined style, and apt use of metaphors render it a remarkable work deserving of attention. In terms of content, Al-Qazwīnī meticulously gathered diverse opinions from Ash’ari Sunni scholars, thereby enriching the discourse. He even translated some Per-sian works into Arabic, further broadening the scope. Additionally, within the same volume, he refuted the arguments of skeptics, atheists, and dissenters. Thus, the book stands as a treasury of valuable insights for those seeking enlightenment on matters concerning the divine.
