Abu al-Qasim al-Qushayri (d. 1072) wrote the first Sufi commentary on Arabic Grammar, entitled "The Grammar of the Hearts" (Nahw al-Qulub).

Dr Mariam Sheibani explores the genre through al-Qushayri’s work – including his social context and the book's teachings and methods – to answer the question: ‘Why use grammar to teach spiritual cultivation?’
