The two theories of divine love that are examined in this book have their foundations in Greek, Jewish, Christian and Muslim ideas. Al-Ghazl (twelfth century) was influenced mainly by Plato and Ibn Sina's teachings, while al-Dabbgh (thirteenth century), who accepted some Ghazlan notions, developed a theory of divine love that can be traced back to Neoplatonism. Both scholars created complete theories of divine love that include definitions of love, its causes and signs, the ways to love God, God's love for man, and kinds of love. The book will interest students of theology, philosophy and mysticism in general, and students of Islam in particular.

The Unveiling of Secrets (Kashf al-Asrr) is the visionary autobiography of one of the most significant mystics of twelfth-century Iran, Rzbihn al-Baql (522/1128-606/1209). Written in Arabic, it describes the life of the author primarily as comprised of his mystical visions. Rzbihn depicts himself in the unseen world (lam al-ghayb) in the company of God, saints, prophets, and angels. His self-portrait in this manner communicates his special status with God. The sublime quality of these visions is well captured in the style of Kashf al-Asrr: the writing is simultaneously simple and clear, but eloquent and rich with extraordinary images.
This is the first critical edition of the manuscipt of Kashf al-Asrr which provides an intriguing case in the genre of Islamic autobiographies.
