A new English translation of the celebrated Poem of the Cloak
(Qasidat al-Burda) by Imam Busiri (may Allah be pleased with him)
is now available. With calligraphy by Betul Krkan and illumination
by Ersan Percem, the beautiful production of this edition reflects
the esteem in which the poem is held, as well of course as its high
purpose, the remembrance and honouring of God's Beloved and Final
Messenger, Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him.Sheikh Abdal Hakim's translation renders the poem in beautiful
and moving English in a parallel text alongside the original
Arabic. In addition, each verse is followed by lines from other
poets - classical and modern, and from many parts of the world -
echoing and amplifying its theme, encouraging the reader to reflect
on its meanings more fully."
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
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.

Ottolenghify every meal. Flexible, flavour-packed dishes that all lend a little something 'extra' to your next meal.
It's harissa butter on a roasted mushroom, then tossed with steamed veg or stuffed into a baked potato. It's tamarind dressing on turmeric fried eggs, then drizzled over a steak the next day. Rounded off with a chapter on the 'one basics' of desserts for you to perfect and then adapt with your favourite flavour combinations, such as a basic mousse transformed into coffee mousse with tahini fudge.
This is cooking it forward, Ottolenghi style, filling your cupboards with adaptable homemade ingredients to add some oomph to every mealtime.
A History of International Oil Politics is both an argument for
multi-theoretical pluralism and a proposal for a theory-synergetic
approach in international relations. Murad Gassanly, a
distinguished international relations scholar and rising British
politician, explores how international relations paradigms could be
utilized in approaching the vital field of international oil
politics, specifically historical issues of international energy
politics and comparative case studies of energy transmission
networks - the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline and the Southern Gas
Corridor. This highly original study explores the historical
timeline of global energy to demonstrate how a theory-synergetic
analysis might offer a deeper and more holistic understanding. As
an academic discipline, international relations now offers a
maelstrom of competing epistemological, ontological, and normative
contestations. Gassanly, however, argues that theoretical diversity
has knowledge-producing and maximizing potential and that pluralism
does not impede academic progress. Applying different theoretical
models to oil politics reveals different realities, but the
synergetic whole is greater than the sum of its constituent
paradigmatic parts. Empirical convergences between theoretical
accounts provides a broad analytical framework for active
theoretical synergy.
For many academics, students, and professionals, the field of
commodities is a black box. This book explores commodities in a
holistic manner, presenting concepts from a multidisciplinary
business and financial perspective, and offering a panoramic view
of the global commodity business and markets. In this book, the
author presents core issues related to global commodities with
recent data including COVID-19. The book introduces the key
physical commodities traded globally and some related issues such
as the global supply chain, global trading, transportation,
storage, and how to finance global commodity trades. Then, it
discusses how global commodity businesses and traders manage global
risks related to commodity production (generation or extraction),
transportation, storage, the final delivery, and currency exchange.
Additionally, the book discusses financial commodities, the origins
of global commodity derivatives and exchanges, the rationale behind
the birth of commodity futures and trading, hedging, speculation,
financialization, and manipulation of commodity markets, and how
financial trading is executed in real life. In the last section,
the author also discusses sustainability issues related to global
commodities and the financial valuation aspects of the global
commodity businesses supported by examples from real cases with
recent data.
Cancer continues to be a growing problem as it is the foremost
cause of death worldwide, killing millions of people each year. The
number of people battling cancer continues to increase, owing to
different reasons, such as lifestyle choices. Clinically,
determining the cause of cancer is very challenging and often
inaccurate. Incorporating efficient and accurate algorithms to
detect cancer cases is becoming increasingly beneficial for
scientists in computer science and healthcare, as well as a
long-term benefit for doctors, patients, clinic practitioners, and
more. Specifically, an automation of computation in machine
learning could be a solution in the next generation of big data
science technology. Machine Learning in Cancer Research With
Applications in Colon Cancer and Big Data Analysis presents
algorithms that have been developed to evaluate big data approaches
and cancer research. The chapters include artificial intelligence
and machine learning approaches, as well as case studies to solve
the predictive issues in colon cancer research. This book includes
concepts and techniques used to run tasks in an automated manner
with the intent to improve better accuracy in comparison with
previous studies and methods. This book also covers the processes
of research design, development, and outcome analytics in this
field. Doctors, IT consultants, IT specialists, medical software
professionals, data scientists, researchers, computer scientists,
healthcare practitioners, academicians, and students can benefit
from this critical resource.
Thanks to the application of new technologies such as whole-genome
sequencing, analysis of transcriptome and proteome of insect pest
to agriculture, great progress has been made in understanding the
life style, reproduction, evolution and nuisance to crops caused by
insect pests such as aphids, planthoppers, and whiteflies. We
believe that time has come to summarize progress and to have a
glance over the horizon. In this Book experts in the field discuss
novel means to increase the different kinds of resistances of
plants to better limit the effects of pest, to understand and
disturb the hormonal regulation of embryogenesis, molting,
metamorphosis and reproduction, to determine the function of insect
genes in diverse processes such as metabolism, interaction with
plants, virus transmission, development, and adaptation to a
changing environment. The knowledge presented here is discussed
with the aim of further improving control strategies of insect
pestsman";mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;
