Difficult language
The translation could be better. It seems that writer did direct translation or word to word translation which makes it difficult to understand. The wording could be better

Magnificient.
Being in the learning stages of classical Arabic, I can't comment much on the quality of the translation from Arabic to English. It isn't the only translation of the Shams Al Ma'arif in a Western language, but I do find great value in this one, focused on the 99 names of God and more content. Thank you, sir Voldemont! PS: Thanks, now my own copy has become rare since I bought it very early!
