100 Books on Islam in English is a companion guide for anyone who
is interested in reading about the different aspects of Islam. The
author, HRH Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, has created three main lists
to help readers find their way to titles that give a true
explanation of Islam. In 100 Books on Islam in English, the reader
will find three main lists: 25 Essential Books on Islam in English,
50 Excellent Books on Islam in English and 25 Recommended books on
Islam in English. These three lists cover: general introductions to
Islam, Qur'anic studies, the life of the Prophet, doctrine,
theology, philosophy, law, sufism, history, culture, art, science
and politics. Finally, there is an additional list of 40 general
titles that Muslim - and many other - readers would find
beneficial.
No word in English evokes more fear and misunderstanding than
'jihad'. To date the books that have appeared on the subject in
English by Western scholars have been either openly partisan and
polemical or subtly traumatised by so many acts and images of
terrorism in the name of jihad and by the historical memory of
nearly one thousand four hundred years of confrontation between
Islam and Christianity. War and Peace in Islam: The Uses and Abuses
of Jihad aims to change this. Written by a number of Islamic
religious authorities and Muslim scholars, this work presents the
views and teachings of mainstream Sunni and Shi'i Islam on the
subject of jihad. It authoritatively presents jihad as it is
understood by the majority of the world's 1.7 billion Muslims in
the world today, and supports this understanding with extensive
detail and scholarship. Though jihad is the central concern of War
and Peace in Islam: The Uses and Abuses of Jihad, the range of the
essays is not confined exclusively to the study of jihad. The work
is divided into three parts: War and Its Practice, Peace and Its
Practice, and Beyond Peace: The Practice of Forbearance, Mercy,
Compassion and Love. War and Peace in Islam: The Uses and Abuses of
Jihad aims to reveal the real meaning of jihad and to rectify many
of the misunderstandings that surround both it and Islam's relation
with the 'Other'.
