Al-Budur Al- Bazighah: The Rising Moons

Al-Budur-Al-Bazighah is a philosophical work of Shah Waliyullah. In this work he has discussed many philosophical points. He does not take philosophy as probing into the subtleties of speculation in which philosophers are interested, or knowing the reality of the discloseres made by the mystics in intuitive state of mind. Philosophy to him is a science that guides man in his living and towards attaining knowledge of sciences to be acquired by him. He does not consider it to mean creating a theoretical picture in the mind, nor does he consider it creating remote possibilites and subtleties which are of no avail. He thinks it to be something which satisfies and convinces the mind.
