Kitab al-Ruh by Imam Ibn Qayyim

Kitab al-Ruh (کتاب الروح), also searched as Kitab Al Roh, explores questions about the soul, death and life in barzakh through the writings of Imam Ibn Qayyim. This Urdu translation by Maulana Raghib Rahmani is published by Nafees Academy in a 397-page, single-volume edition.

A Study of the Soul and Life After Death

The book examines religious questions concerning the soul's relationship with the body and its condition after death. The supplied pages discuss barzakh, the grave and the limits of human understanding of the unseen, introducing readers to the issues considered in this work.

Questions, Reports and Discussion

The photographed first chapter asks whether the deceased recognise visitors and hear their greetings. Subsequent passages bring together reports and narrated accounts relevant to that discussion. Readers encounter the author's arguments and the material he cites, rather than a modern scientific account of the soul.

Themes Explored

• The soul and body: discussions of their relationship and separation at death.
• Barzakh: the intermediate life between death and resurrection.
• The grave: questions concerning the deceased and their condition.
• Visitation and greetings: the author's examination of recognition and hearing after death.
• Dreams and narrated experiences: accounts presented within the discussion of souls and the unseen.

For Readers of Classical Islamic Thought

Read a question and follow the reports and reasoning gathered around it, then return to the passages you wish to discuss with a teacher. The Urdu translation makes this classical work accessible to readers interested in Islamic perspectives on the soul and the Hereafter. Individual reports and interpretations should be considered in their scholarly context.
