Resalat Al-Ghufran

Resalat Al-Ghufran (Arabic: رسالة الغفران), meaning The Epistle of Forgiveness, is a famous Arabic book from the 10th century written by Abu al-ʿAlaʾ al-Maʿarri (أبو العلاء التنوخي المعري). It is a book of divine comedy that concentrates on the Arabic poetical civilization but in a way that touches all aspects of life. Some say that the Resalat Al-Ghufran has had an influence on, or has even inspired, Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.
