This is the fourth Caliph of Islam, but he is the first to remember
from among all the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad as far as
bravery is concerned. This book brings to life the biography of
this unique hero of Islam, the gallant lion of the fields, the
standard-bearer of the heroes, and the pir, or spiritual guide, of
believers. It thoroughly analyses where and how he was raised, the
dynamics that formed his personality and what sort of a future
destiny lay in store for him. His life has a lot to offer us today,
presenting us with many examples and experiences that we can carry
into our own social lives.
This is a textbook for elementary level children that teaches the
basic concepts of the last 37 chapters of the holy Qur'an. It
contains the full Arabic text, along with simple translations into
English of the meaning, transliterations, chapter introductions,
engaging graphics, review questions and activities.
The great universal Muslim scientists, about thousand years ago,
were at the forefront of knowledge, particularly in the sciences
and technology without ever giving up their religion. In fact Islam
in general and the Qur'an in particular inspired the Muslim
scientists to seek and advance knowledge and paved the way for
modern science. By moving away from the in depth study of the
Qur'an Muslims have lost the golden opportunity of many a
scientific discovery and advancement of knowledge.
Science is not a divine revelation but it provides a means for
the welfare of man and to better understanding the creation of
Allah (SWT), the natural phenomena and their purpose. Islam exhorts
its followers to relentlessly pursue knowledge. One-third of the
Qur'an exhorts its readers to think and reflect upon the natural
phenomena.
This book is written specifically for all parents who want their
children to have a deeper understanding of Islamic mysticism. But
it is also written for those who want to give their children a
clear view of how the spiritual reality, contained in every
religion, manifests in the material world. The book chronicles a
living tradition of Sufi masters from the time of the Prophet (s)
until the present day. The wonderful pictures include a treasure
hunt in which the name of Muhammad (s) is hidden within the lines.
The hidden names are high-lighted on the cover picture as an
example. See if you can find the light of Muhammad (sas) hidden
within all things.
This book is suitable for ages 8 to 12 years. In this series, you
will find stories from the "Risale-i Nur Collection" ("Epistles of
Light"), the famous work of the great Islamic scholar and saint,
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. The Stories which have been adapted to the
comprehension level of children, are embellished with beautiful
illustrations and they aim to convey the divine message to children
while still entertaining them. This collection includes: "The Magic
Word", "The Mysterious Forest" and "The Expensive Suit".
In Fundamentalism and Secularization, Egyptian philosopher Mourad
Wahba traces the historical origins of fundamentalism and
secularization as ideas and practices in order to theorize their
symbiotic relationship, and how it is impacted by global capitalism
and, more recently, postmodernism. This gives voice to an argument
from within the Islamic world that is very different to that given
platform in the mainstream, showing that fundamentalism does not
arise normally and naturally from Islam but is a complex phenomenon
linked to modernization and the development of capitalism in
dependent countries, that is, tied to imperialism. Wahba's central
argument concerns the organic relationship between fundamentalism
and parasitic capitalism. Wahba is equally critical of religious
fundamentalism and global capitalism, which for him are
obstructions to secularization and democracy. While the three
Abrahamic religions are examined when it comes to fundamentalism,
Wahba deconstructs Islamic fundamentalism in particular and in the
process reconstructs an Islamic humanism. Including a new preface
by the author and translator, Fundamentalism and Secularism
provides invaluable insights into how Middle Eastern philosophies
open up new lines of thought in thinking through contemporary
crises.
