This volume is a critical edition of “Risālat as-sulūk fī l-aḫlāq wa-l-aʿmāl”a by the Iranian scholar ar-Raštī and is categorized as a work on theological and religious ethics from Shi’i perspective. It gained widespread fame in the Muslim scholarly field and was heavily disputed about by scholars who accused him of expounding Sufi beliefs. This critical edition is based on three manuscripts and includes a detailed index of commentary footnotes.
