This is an engaging and graceful book that relates the familiar
story of Moses in a new and thought-provoking way according to
Islamic traditional sources. It is interesting both because it
provides an unusual perspective on an old tale but also because it
provides a rare insight into true Islamic and Sufi thinking. It is
beautifully designed and enhanced with over 50 original and
colorful paintings. This is what others had to say about it: "In a
world in which resentment and hostility have replaced tolerance and
understanding - this lovely book speaks from the heart of
traditional Islam about the spiritual lessons to be drawn from the
story of the prophet Moses who unites us all." - Her Majesty Queen
Noor of Jordan "A truly beautiful book, well presented with
seemingly simple yet illuminating illustrations I was so immersed
in it that it was difficult to put down until the end Lessons
learnt from these stories retold encourage readers to reflect on
our own life journeys in our quest to reach the Divine Presence.
Indeed a must-read " - HH Raja Eleena binti Sultan Azlan Shah of
Perak, Malaysia "As one of the great scholars of Islam said, "The
Wisdom of Moses is manifold." And, indeed, the story of this
Prophet has accompanied mankind in so many different ways and was
told with so many intentions. He is mostly remembered for speaking
with God and for bringing his people into the presence of the
Divine. But his story was not only told to remember the joy of
being close to God, but also, and especially in recent times, to
convey the unwillingness to accept this closeness. This book tells
the story, not as someone wants it to be, but as it was given by
the Divine Storyteller Himself. Not as an expression of my or your
preferences, but as an invitation to reflect and as a means to
"make firm your heart." Because that is most needed. And that is
most excellently accomplished through "The Story of Moses" you have
before you, because its intention is not to impose but to serve." -
Steffen A.J. Stelzer, Chair of the Department of Philosophy, The
American University in Cairo
My Little Lore of Light is a children's version of Hajjah Amina
Adil's four volume work, Lore of Light: the Stories of the Prophets
of God, from Adam to Muhammad, drawn from traditional Ottoman
Islamic sources. This book is intended to be read aloud to young
children and to be read by older children by themselves. These
abridged stories are intended to introduce a young audience to the
prophets of God and to encourage thought and discussion in the
family about the eternal wisdom these stories embody. Beautifully
illustrated in color, the third edition of this book is the ideal
gift for Muslim children to learn the history of God's messengers
on earth.
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.

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.

of God, from Adam to Muhammad drawn from traditional Ottoman

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.
