In the name of God, and blessings and peace be upon our Master and Mawlana Muhammad and his honourable and honourable family and companions.

The ancient Egyptians knew two types of this holy book. Unfortunately, only what was recorded in the Greek and Roman era, a collection of late ancient Egyptian funerary texts, was known to the ancient Egyptians.

The first book speaks for “Isis” and contains 15 paragraphs, while the second speaks for “Thoth”.

The first book deals with the deceased, his purity, and his survival in the afterlife, and the second book is about the deceased’s encounter with the gods of the underworld.

It is stated in both books that their origin was inspired by the (batin) realm of the soul.

Thebes was where this book was written, and this book was in circulation among the priests of Amun. This book explains the importance of breathing (the breath) for the deceased, as its texts refer to memorizing the deceased’s name. In this book – the great importance of Amun (the batin – the hidden – the veiled – the cosmic mind) rests, and it is with him that Osir preserves the “ba” in the afterlife.

The first book, “The Book of the First Breath”, consists of 15 parts. The main focus of those parts is to purify the body, both physically and morally, protect it from diseases, and purify the soul (by moving away from those bad actions that take the person out of the cosmic order and drop him into the world of darkness). They are those actions mentioned in the Law of Maat in the form of exiled confessions in which the deceased justifies himself. It was believed that purification is tantamount to preparing the deceased for the afterlife.

It was mentioned in the first book that the souls of the purified can breathe and see and that the doors of the other world are open to them and not only that but that they can receive the offerings offered to them by their loved ones in this worldly life.

Part 13 contains a portion of the denied confessions that I previously mentioned in the Book of Exodus to the Day, which include: –

I was not killed

I didn’t steal.

I have not adorned me.

I did not lie.

I have not polluted the water of the Nile.

I did not cause others to cry, and so on.

While the second book, which is about prayers and chants, is composed of 6 parts, the first part deals with the coffin of the deceased and the materials from which that coffin was made, that is, everything about the coffin.

The second part – summoning the guards of the gates of the underworld, asking to open the doors to the soul of the deceased after death; the most important parts of the book are Thoth summoning the deceased to prove the innocence of a person’s prey from all sin, so whoever preserves the purity of his soul can restore his senses (breathing, seeing, hearing, etc.).

We come to the third part, in which the cosmic forces in the spirit world are summoned and asked to help write the book of breathing.

While the fourth part is invocations to protect the deceased’s name so that he may live in peace in the afterlife.

The fifth part includes one of the texts of the book Exodus to the Day.

Finally, we come to the last part of the second book – the sixth part, a prayer of the goddess Nut, described as the mother who swallows spirits after death.

The oldest copy dates from the end of the 30th Dynasty and is now preserved in the Louvre.
