In a narration of Imam Ahmad, Abu Dharr asked Prophet Muhammad, "O
Messenger of Allah, how many are the prophets?" He replied,
"120,000 and between their number are 315 messengers." The Holy
Quran mentions twenty-five of these messengers, namely: Adam, Noah,
Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses,
Aaron, Zacharia, John (the Baptist), Idris (Enoch), Jonah, Hud,
Shuayb, Salih, Lot, Ilyas, Ilyasa, Dhu 'l-Kifl, Jesus and Sayyidina
Muhammad, peace be upon them all. These are the messengers of God
who came with holy books containing the Divine Message. The others
are prophets who received divine revelation but who were not
ordered to deliver it to anyone; it was for them. By way of
example, all of Jacob's sons were prophets, but Joseph was the only
messenger from among them. Laboriously compiled from rare
manuscripts, traditional Islamic texts, and other printed source
material, including ahadith and athar and the many traditional
books of history, and painstakingly translated from Ottoman Turkish
to English, Lore of Light depicts the perfected, blessed character
and refined manners that God bestowed on His blessed prophets and
messengers. This illustrious work examines the lives of the
prophets and messengers of God in great detail, heretofore unknown
in English literature on their lives. It depicts the great lengths
to which these holy figures went - at times losing life, suffering
humiliation, torment and abuse from those who opposed them, often
leaving their homes, always tolerant of their attackers and seeking
peace - to guide the many peoples and nations of the world towards
the light which God has sent throughout time for humankind's
betterment and upliftment.

The Light of Muhammad (s) is a children's version of Hajjah Amina
Adil's six hundred page volume, The Life of Muhammad (s), which she
compiled from Ottoman and Arabic sources. This was the last project
of her long and productive life. It is the culmination of a life
spent in the service and contemplation of God and His Prophet (s).
Although there are many books on the life of the Prophet (s), this
one is unique, because it focuses on the spiritual and cosmic
nature of our great Prophet (s). Here simplified, it provides a
perfect choice for children for whom the magical and wondrous are
still a part of everyday life. Its aim is to nourish love for the
blessed Prophet (s) in the hearts of all children everywhere. About
the Author The late Hajjah Amina Adil, may God grant her peace, was
called by all who know her, Hajjah Anne, mother. She was wife of
the Grand Shaykh of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order, Shaykh Muhammad
Nazim Adil for over fifty years. In addition to her own four
children, sixteen grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, she
raised and nurtured with love and wisdom the thousands of students
and visitors who descend yearly upon the humble house of the Shaykh
in Cyprus.
This impressive biographical work deftly weaves translated accounts
from authentic Ottoman Turkish texts with ancient lore, resulting
in a compelling, unforgettable portrait of the founder of Islam as
seen through the eyes of Muslims around the world.
Die kleine Ausgabe der Gaben des Lichts ist eine fr Kinder gemachte
Erzhlung der drei Bnde Lore of Light" und Muhammad The Messenger of
Islam" von Hajjah Amina Adil. Es werden darin die Geschichten aus
dem Leben der Propheten von Adam bis Muhammad nach traditionellen
osmanischen Quellen erzhlt. Sie sind in kindgerechter und gekrzter
Sprache gehalten, ohne den ursprnglichen Inhalt zu verndern. Dieses
Buch ist zum Vorlesen fr kleinere Kinder oder zum Selbstlesen fr
groe Kinder oder auch Jugendliche gedacht, um ihnen einen Einblick
in das Leben der Propheten zu geben. Die Geschichten sollen die
jungen Menschen die Liebe und den Respekt zu den Propheten nahe
bringen, zum Nachdenken anregen und ein erstes Verstndnis fr die
tiefen Weisheiten vermitteln, die diesen Geschichten zugrunde
liegen. Hajjah Amina Adil, Allah schenke ihrer Seele Frieden, wurde
im Alter von jedem, der sie kannte, liebevoll Hajjah Anne genannt,
was Mutter bedeutet. Sie war ber fnfzig Jahre lang die Frau des
Grosheikhs des Sufiordens der Naqshbandiyya Shaykh Muhammad Nazim
Adil al-Haqqani. Zustzlich zu ihren eigenen vier Kindern, sechszehn
Enkelkindern und sechs Urenkelkindern vermittelte sie Liebe und
Weisheit an tausende von Schlern und Gsten, die alljhrlich zu
Besuch in das bescheidene Haus des Shaykhs kamen. Ohne auch nur ein
berflssiges Wort zu sprechen, gab Hajjah Anne durch ihr alltgliches
Beispiel den wahren Geist von Hingabe an Allah, den eine Gott,
weiter. Sie diente Shaykh Nazim und seinen Gsten mit einer
unermdlichen Gastfreundschaft. Sie kochte Tag fr Tag fr jeden, der
ihr Haus betrat und lehrte den Menschen dadurch mit Humor und
Weisheit Respekt fr jedes noch so kleine Geschenk Allahs. Durch
ihre Wesensart, niemals etwas zu verschwenden oder wegzuwerfen,
sondern jede Sache zu nutzen und wiederzuverwenden, und durch ihre
eigene harte Arbeit vermittelte sie Geduld, Freundlichkeit, Ehre
und Achtung vor allem. Als Gelehrte und Dienerin Allahs gab sie ihr
groes Wissen ber das Leben der Propheten und Freunde Gottes, durch
ihr Vorbild und ihre ausfhrlichen Erzhlungen an die nach-kommenden
Generationen. Die Erzhlungen ber das Leben der Propheten von Hajjah
Amina Adil wurden zuerst von Karima Sperling in englischer Sprache
eigens fr Kinder neu erzhlt. Sie promovierte in dem Fach
Anthropologie an der Stanford University in Kalifornien. Sie nahm
vor mehr als dreiig Jahren den Islam an, als sie fr drei Jahre als
Feldforscherin im Grenzgebiet zwischen Libyen und Tschad arbeitete.
Ihre eigenen fnf Kinder unterrichtete sie selbst und erzog sie nach
den Werten des Islam. Der eigentliche Beweggrund fr dieses Buch war
aber die Zeit, die sie selbst mit Hajjah Anne gemeinsam mit ihren
wunderbaren Kindern und ihren Schlern verbrachte. Die bertragung
der Prophetengeschichten ins Deutsche durch Latifa Hafiza A. Krmer
kam auf mehrfache Anregung hin zustande. Latifa Krmer ist
Gymnasiallehrerin und seit vielen Jahren mit der Frage nach guten
islamischen Kinderbchern beschftigt. Sie konvertierte vor mehr als
zehn Jahren zum Islam und besuchte seither regelmig das Haus von
Hajjah Anne und Shaykh Nazim. Dort konnte sie an vielen Tagen den
wundersamen und lehrreichen Erzhlungen aus dem Leben der Propheten
aus dem Munde und Herzen von Hajjah Anne selbst lauschen und von
der tiefen spirituellen Dimension dieser Geschichten schmecken.
