Imam al-Raghib al-Isfahani أبو القاسم الحسين بن محمد بن المفضل الراغب الأصفهاني

Al-Raghib al-Isfahani rahimahullah, whose full name was Abu al-Qasim al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn al-Mufaddal al-Raghib al-Isfahani, died in 502 AH / 1108 CE. He was a recognized authority within the traditional Sunni discipline of akhlaq (Islamic ethics). His celebrated treatise al-Dhari'a ila Makarim al-Shariah is regarded as a foundational classical work on the Islamic science of self-cultivation and noble character, laying out the path toward virtuous conduct in accordance with the Shariah. The work has attracted sustained scholarly attention across the centuries and remains a key reference in the classical canon of Islamic moral philosophy.
