Woman in Islamic Shari'ah

$1.33

The book tries to clear the notion that to interpret the Islamic concept of woman as, ?degradation? of woman is to distort the actual issue. Islam has never asserted that woman is inferior to man: it has only made the point that woman is differently constituted. The prophet used a parable to explain the delicacy of women?s nature, pointing out that they should be treated in accordance with their nature. Their delicate emotional constitution should always be borne in mind

What is Islam? (English)

$0.24

The concept of God in Islam provides man with an ideology in which loss is turned to gain and in which adversity brings with it good tidings. And it is in submission to God and living a God-oriented life that man finds complete fulfilment and purpose of life. When he discovers God and worships Him, when he remembers Him, when his mind is turned towards Him with full concentration, when he makes a request or a plea, he establishes a contact with his Creator. In the words of the Hadith, at that particular moment he comes to whisper with his Lord. He has the tangible feeling that he is pouring his heart out to God and that God in turn is answering his call. He starts receiving inspiration from God. This is the beginning of living a God-Oriented Life and the development of a positive personality

Non-violence and Peace-building in Islam

$1.13

The approach to non-violence and peace-building outlined in this book is based on the Quran and the life of the Prophet Muhammad . It draws lessons from these sources that can be applied to efforts to negotiate differences and conflicts at all levels—from between individuals to between communities and entire countries. The central focus of the book is on conflict-prevention. After all, if conflicts are prevented at the very outset, violence can be done away with. Amicably negotiating differences before they degenerate into a conflict is, the author suggests, the most sensible way for us to handle conflicts

Non-violence and Peace-building in Islam

The Vision of Islam

$1.21

The greatest enigma of present history is how over the last two hundred years, in the entire Muslim world, innumerable great movements were set in motion which gave Muslims immense opportunities to do their work, yet the actual results of their efforts were almost negligible. This failure came about in spite of the Muslims having all kinds of resources for the execution of their programme. God promised divine succour on the condition that we help Him. Helping God means to engage ourselves in the divine mission of making people aware of the Creation Plan of God. Our movements should be aimed not at acquiring worldly rights through protest and demand, but rather should be Hereafter-oriented movements, in which our goal is to make man aware of what he will have to face in the next world. Thus, our movements should be dawah-oriented and not political or economic in nature. This is the only way of ensuring succour from God and unless we obtain God’s succour we will not be able to achieve success of any kind—either in this world or the Hereafter

Political Interpretation of Islam

$0.97

In the political interpretation of Islam, politics assumes the central place. Every aspect of religion acquires a political hue. The true believer’s mission in life, according to this interpretation, is to ensure that just as God’s natural laws are followed throughout the universe, His shariah laws, too, must be enforced in the human world. This is a major deviation. Under normal or ordinary conditions, believers are duty-bound to observe and follow only that portion of the religion of Islam that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad before the acquisition of political power. People can be expected to abide by laws only to the extent that is practically possible for them

$2.82

We are on a journey in this world, a journey that is in fact much longer than we think it is. This journey did not start the day we were born, but much earlier than we can imagine. Our home is not the house or flat in which we are raised and enjoy the company of our families as a child; our real home is Eden, the place where our eternal parents Adam and Eve resided. If this is true, then what are we supposed to know about this journey on which we have found ourselves? How are we to return to our origin of Eden? Where are we actually headed? And what does the One Who has willed us to be on this journey expect us to do while we are here in this world? This book seeks to bring to the attention of young minds questions concerning our lives in this world, questions that occupy the minds of every one of us, questions we seek answers to. The beauties of belief and leading a virtuous life are the underlying theme of each of the stories, poems, anecdotes, and Prophetic traditions narrated in a way to encourage young believers to reflect upon the human condition and the purpose of our existence

True Face of Islam (Harper Collins)

$3.39

Islam has become synonymous with global political jihad today and Islamic spirituality is often mistaken for orthodoxy. Then how do young Muslims hold on to their faith? How do they open the door for others to appreciate the true beauty of their religion?In his attempt to understand Islam in its true form, social activist and entrepreneur Raamish Siddiqui brings together the most thought-provoking works of eminent scholar Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. Through the Maulana’s writing, Raamish discovers that it was Prophet Muhammad who first lay the foundations of universal secular education, that Islam believes in gender equality and allegiance to the nation one is born in and that the Quran makes it obligatory for its adherents to not engage in violence except in self-defense.In a deeply introspective introduction, Raamish talks about his own dilemmas after 9/11 and how he transformed as a person when he learnt to differentiate between the true spirit of Islam and its misappropriation by those who have politicized it.Deeply insightful and in some ways, provocative, this is a vitally important guide to the most misunderstood religion of modern times

True Jihad (HB)

$1.42

All the teachings of Islam are based on the principle of peace.... It is no exaggeration to say that Islam and violence are contradictory to each other. The concept of Islamic violence is so obviously unfounded that prima facie it stands rejected. The fact that violence is not sustainable in the present world is sufficient indication that violence as a principle is quite alien to the scheme of things in Islam. Islam claims to be an eternal religion and, as such, could never afford to uphold any principle which could not stand up to the test of time. Any attempt to bracket violence with Islam amounts therefore, to casting doubt upon the very eternity of the Islamic religion. Islamic terrorism is a contradiction in terms, much like ?pacifist? terrorism. And the truth of the matter is that, all the teachings of Islam are based directly or indirectly on the principle of peace

$3.37

The Quran is a collection of divine revelations delivered to the Prophet of Islam, directing him to communicate these revelations to mankind as a guidance to those who cared to live aright. It has been a charter for humanity upwards of fourteen hundred years. Broadly speaking the Quranic studies can be divided into two categories: the study of the contents of the Quran and the study about the Quran. The present study relates to the latter category. Scholarly and scientific studies of different aspects of knowledge which are related to the Quran such as its script, its recitation, its compilation, arrangement of its chapters, its inimitable nature etc. were taken up in earlier centuries. The scope of each study gradually began to widen. Eminent scholars produced voluminous literature on each branch of study. Each constituted a study by itself. All these sciences together were termed as Ulum-al-Quran. In this book a gist of sixteen sciences has been presented. The aim is to help towards a better understanding of the various facets of the study about the Quran by providing all relevant information. This book will serve as a companion volume to the student of the Quran

Islam and World Peace

Ideal for students, scholars and the average reader, this brief and readable book provides keen insight into topics such as, the culture of peace, the ‘Islamisation’ of violence, terrorism, Islamic jihad, hijacking and hostage-taking, to name but a few

Interpretation of Islam

$1.60

The Prophet Muhammad, at Gods behest, called men to the worship of one God and proclaimed that, by responding to this call, mankind would achieve true dignity, honour, prosperity and happiness. Within an astonishingly brief period, and over vast areas which were in the grip of ignorance, darkness and confusion were finally dispelled, order was established and all manner of beneficent institutions sprang into life, a high moral order was set up and the blessings of knowledge, learning and science began to be widely diffused. The strength of this message was its crystal clear simplicity and marvelous easiness, for Islam reached out to the soul of the people without having recourse to long explanations or involved sermons. Thanks to this message, bringing the ideals of tauhid, resalat, peace and harmony, paganism in its various forms was defeated, ad human dignity finally became a reality. Islam taught right thinking, proper action and honest speaking, and for these reasons it found its way, without any difficulty, into both the minds and hearts of men
