Ikhwanu-S Safa: Or Brothers Of Purity is a book written by John Dowson in 1869. The book is a translation of the original Arabic work Rasa'il Ikhwan al-Safa which was written by a group of anonymous scholars in the 10th century. The Ikhwan al-Safa were a group of Muslim philosophers who wrote a collection of 52 epistles covering a wide range of topics including philosophy, theology, ethics, politics, and the natural sciences. The book is divided into 52 chapters, each corresponding to one of the original epistles. The chapters are organized thematically, covering topics such as the nature of God, the soul, the afterlife, and the relationship between reason and revelation. The book also includes a detailed introduction by Dowson, providing historical context and background information on the Ikhwan al-Safa and their work.Ikhwanu-S Safa: Or Brothers Of Purity is an important work in the history of Islamic philosophy and provides valuable insights into the intellectual and cultural milieu of medieval Islamic society.
