The Holy Quran presents an irrefutable basis and belief system for
the establishment of a stable and harmonious life in this world,
and a triumphant return to Paradise in the Next. There are
misunderstandings about the very source-springs of human well-being
the belief in the spiritual realities of existence, the infinite
love for the Holy Messenger, and the unity regarding the
implementation of the divinely revealed programme for human
society.Young people all over the world, Muslim as well as
non-Muslim, are brought up and educated in an environment permeated
by scientific materialism. It is modern learning which programmes
their minds and causes them to reject anything they find
incompatible with what they have been taught about man and life on
the earth. This book will clarify the misunderstandings and
confusions about Islamic spirituality on scientific
grounds.Scientific orthodoxy refers to magnetic sensitivity in
human beings, electromagnetic energies that permeate our
atmosphere, the flow of positive and negative ions in the
atmosphere affecting human brain activity, the function of the
pineal gland and many other empirical sources of transcendent
experience that are yet to be investigated. This magnetic energy
basis of spiritual experience, which the scientific camp has been
forced into revealing, has proved to be a welcome development of
modern science from the point of view of Islamic spirituality.The
younger generation of modern times will have their belief
reconfirmed by the study of the scientific facts cited in this
book. The scientific reality of Islamic spirituality is
demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt.
Abu Hafs 'Umar al-Suhrawardi (1145-1234) is the author of a classic
work of Muslim piety, a key figure in the rise of institutional
Sufism in the form of "orders" called "tariqas," and the
influential eponym of one of these famous orders. This book
presents studies, editions, and English translations of his shorter
treatises that were originally penned in Arabic and Persian.
Relying on global archival research, the book discovers materials
that shed new light on his teachings and networks, as it traces the
context, sources, and reception of his works. Carefully identifying
the authentic works of 'Umar al-Suhrawardi, the book presents
significant new information on a key moment in the history of
Muslim piety and mysticism.

Gustav Landauer was an unconventional anarchist who aspired to a
return to a communal life. His antipolitical rejection of
authoritarian assumptions is based on a radical linguistic
scepticism that could be considered the theoretical premise of his
anarchism. The present volume aims to add to the existing
scholarship on Landauer by shedding new light on his work,
focussing on the two interrelated notions of skepsis and
antipolitics. In a time marked by a deep doubt concerning modern
politics, Landauer's alternative can help us to more seriously
address the struggle for a different articulation of our
communitarian and ecological needs.
