Spiritual Discourses is a translation of the Persian book Guft¿r-hâ-ye Ma 'nawi by the great Muslim thinker and reformer Ayatull¿h Murtad¿ Mutahhari. This book is a collection of thirteen lectures delivered by the Ayatullah on various topics, such as the criteria for humanity, the school of humanity, spiritual freedom, nobility and magnanimity of spirit, worship and prayer, repentance, migration and ijth¿d, and belief in the unseen. All these lectures are on spiritual issues, so they are gathered in one collection.
