Risalat al-Tayr Book by Al-Ghazali (Farsi)

Description

"Risalat al-Tayr" by Al-Ghazali, also known as "The Epistle of the Bird," is a philosophical allegory that explores the spiritual journey of the soul toward divine knowledge and realization. The allegory takes the form of a narrative in which birds embark on a quest for their king, the Simurgh, symbolizing the search for God. The journey of the birds involves overcoming challenges, facing self-discovery, and transcending the limitations of the material world. Each bird represents a particular human trait or characteristic, and their collective journey symbolizes the path of the seeker aspiring to attain spiritual enlightenment. The title "Tayr," meaning "bird" in Arabic, is a metaphor for the human soul aspiring to transcendence and union with the Divine.
