Considered one of the most important works of Islamic philosophy, this treatise contains discussions of the main problems of theology, philosophy, ethics, mysticism and the five principles of the religion. Mulla Abd' Al-Razzaq Lahiji (d. 1662 AD) was an important theologist whose works were mostly influenced by philosophical and mystical concepts; he was notably a student of Mulla Sadra and the works of Avicenna heavily influence his work.
The text Gowhar-i murad begins with a preface which is followed by three chapters regarding major philosophical issues (knowing ones self, knowing God including discussions on tawhid and 'adl, and knowing God's commands including issues of Prophethood and the Imamate) and an epilogue concerning ethics and mysticism to close.
Single volume, decorated manuscript on paper, in Farsi, complete, c. 300 leaves, 225 x 140 mm; single column, 20 lines regular black script, verging on naskh, with important headings and words highlighted in red, a few diagrams to the margins, also in red, catch-words throughout, a few marginal annotations, overall very clean and crisp internal condition; housed in nineteenth-century tan leather boards, central medallions and corner-pieces stamped in blind, extremities a little rubbed, overall a handsome volume.
