In 1991, Ahmed Ali Haile returned to the chaos of his native
Somalia with a clear mission: to bring warring clans together to
find new paths of peace--often over a cup of tea. A grenade thrown
by a detractor cost Haile his leg and almost his life, but his
stature as a peacemaker remained. Whether in Somali's capital,
Mogadishu, or among Somalis in Kenya, Europe, and the United
States, Haile has been a tireless ambassador for the peace of
Christ. Into this moving memoir of conversion and calling, Haile
weaves poignant reflections on the meaning of his journey in the
world of Islam. 144 Pages.
The world is facing a great dilemma due to despicable, inhumane and
barbaric acts of terrorism, indiscriminate killings, warfare,
anarchy, disorder and suicide bombings over the past two decades.
It is not only destroying the peace of any specific region, group
or country but has become a major threat to world peace. Young
People and Students living in various western countries who do not
have conceptual clarity regarding Islam are wronglyconsidering
terrorism and indiscriminate killing to be Jihad and are being
drawn towards it.A further disturbing issue with regards to this is
that the terrorists declare their evil goals to be part of the
Islamic concept of Jihad. Furthermore they speak of enforcing the
Islamic Shariah according to their extremist and terrorist
ideology. They call for the re-establishment of the Caliphate as
part of their ideology; and they use the Islamic terminologies and
concepts of Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) to legally justify their
claims. By quoting the Qur'an, hadith and texts from the books of
Islamic Law out of context, they influence common Muslims who are
not acquainted with the true teachings of Islam, especially
youngsters.There is a need to provide authentic, comprehensive
material against extremism to all people, from every walk of life,
according to their needs, so that the conceptual and ideological
confusions which may lead to terrorismcan be eliminated. The
Islamic Curriculum on Peace and Counter-Terrorism was prepared for
this purpose. This curriculum has 3 parts and aims to provide
resources from the Holy Qur'an, Hadith and authoritative books to
provide a comprehensive ideological and theological background to
all the key areas that are utilised to brainwash youngsters.The
Islamic Curriculum on Peace and Counter-Terrorism has been compiled
under the supervision and guidance of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad
Tahir-ul-Qadri - who is the author of the Fatwa on Terrorism and
Suicide Bombings.
This book is part of the Islamic Teachings series compiled from the
works and lectures of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri.
Zakah and Charity book provides readers with both a general
overview and where needed, some in depth information and guidance
on basics of Islam. All of the primary subjects within the three
branches of Shariah, Aqidah (doctrine), Fiqh (jurisprudence),
Tasawwuf (spirituality and self purification) are covered and a
general basic understanding of Islam in a modern context through an
easy way to follow question and answer format. Some of the most
common yet unanswered, day to day issues are replied to using
juristic methods from sound sources of Qur'an and Hadith. These are
not only of benefit for the purpose of self study, for anybody of
any age and from every walk of life, it is also a very useful
reference source which caters for the needs of academic
institutions, libraries and study circles.

In our age of globalisation and pandemic, how should we react to
the new Islamophobic movements now spreading in the West?
Everywhere the far right is on the march, with nationalist and
populist parties thriving on the back of popular anxieties about
Islam and the Muslim presence. Hijab and minaret bans, mosque
shootings, hostility to migrants and increasingly scornful media
stereotypes seem to endanger the prospects for friendly coexistence
and the calm uplifting of Muslim populations. In this series of
essays Abdal Hakim Murad dissects the rise of Islamophobia on the
basis of Muslim theological tradition. Although the proper response
to the current impasse is clearly indicated in Qur'an and Hadith,
some have lost the principle of trust in divine wisdom and are
responding with hatred, fearfulness or despair. Murad shows that a
compassion-based approach, rooted in an authentic theology of
divine power, could transform the current quagmire into a bright
landscape of great promise for Muslims and their neighbours.
This book comprises responses by a Sufi master, Hadrat Sahib of the
Naqshbandi tradition, to letters written by students of the master.
The questions posed in these letters cover a wide range of issues
including, financial problems, health issues, family matters,
education and bereavement. The advice given by the master reveals a
deep spirituality which places the particular student's problem in
context and details a specific method of offering oneself to God at
all times. It is difficult to find such detail relating to
spiritual practices in Sufi literature. These letters are
inspirational and timeless. They provide a cure to a world
dominated by materialism and all its attendant miseries.
