Are the two books by Ibn al-Qayyim, "Sharh Asma' Allah al-Husna" (Commentary on the Beautiful Names of Allah) and "Nur al-Mu'min wa Hayatuhu" (The Light of the Believer and His Life), published?

The two books "Zad al-Musafir" and "Al-Asma al-Husna" by Ibn al-Qayyim have not been printed and may be lost. Indices of Ibn al-Qayyim's manuscripts and printed works have been compiled, but nothing has been added to the printed collection. The loss of Ibn al-Qayyim's books may be due to their burning by his adversaries, as his books and those of his teacher Ibn Taymiyyah were subjected to burning due to the animosity of some towards the Salafi da'wah (call). Nevertheless, Ibn al-Qayyim discussed the divine names and attributes in many of his other books, and his views have been compiled in the book "Asma' Allah al-Husna wa Sifatuhu al-'Ulya" by Imad Zaki al-Baroudi.
