Jumia Books The Rising and the Hereafter: Books for the Soul Author: Imâm Ghazâlî

The Rising and the Hereafter by Imâm Ghazâlî is a spiritually stirring Islamic text that explores the realities of death, resurrection, and the eternal consequences of human life. Revered as one of the greatest scholars in Islamic history, Imâm Ghazâlî draws from the Qur’ān, Hadith, and centuries of theological insight to illuminate the path from this world to the next.

This book addresses the stages of the soul’s journey: the moment of death, the grave, the Day of Judgment, and the final destinations of Paradise or Hell. Ghazâlî’s writing is both poetic and precise, urging readers to reflect on their mortality and prepare for the life beyond. His teachings emphasize sincerity in worship, repentance, and the cultivation of a heart that longs for divine proximity.

The cover—featuring cupped hands in supplication against a dark, contemplative background—symbolizes the vulnerability of the soul and its yearning for mercy. The quote “Every soul shall have a taste of death” anchors the book’s theme in Qur’anic truth, reminding readers of the inevitability of their spiritual reckoning.

This book is ideal for seekers of spiritual depth, students of Islamic theology, and anyone grappling with the meaning of life and death. Whether read in solitude or studied in community, The Rising and the Hereafter offers timeless guidance for those preparing for the soul’s final ascent.
