Imam Abü Hamid al-Ghazalı is perhaps the most celebrated Muslim theologian of medieval Islam yet little attention has been paid to his personal theology. This book sets out to investigate the relationship between law and politics in the writings of Ghazalı and aims to establish the extent to which this relationship explains Ghazalı’s political theology. Articles concerned with Ghazalı’s political thought have invariably paid little attention to his theology and his thinking about God, neglecting to ask what role these have contributed to his definition of politics and political ethics. Here, the question of Ghazalı’s politics takes into account his thinking on God, knowledge, law, and the Koran, in addition to political systems and ethics. Yazeed Said puts forward the convincing argument that if Ghazalı’s legal and political epistemology provide a polemic analogous to his writings on philosophy, for which he is more famed, they would reveal to us a manifesto for an alternative order, concerned with a coherent definition of the community, or Ummah. This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the Middle East, political theology and Islamic studies.

General Description: In al-Ghazzali's view, everything begins by knowing who you are. He says that you should know that you are born with an outer form and an inner essence and it is that inner essence or the spiritual heart that you have to come to know in order to know who you are.

Sufism has long constituted one of the most powerful drawcards to people embracing Islam. This book considers a broad range of questions relating to Sufism, including its history, manifestations in various countries and communities, its expression in poetry, women and Sufism, and expressions among popular spirituality. In addition, the volume challenges the long-held view of Sufism as being necessarily peaceful, through a consideration in one paper of Sufis engaging in violent Jihad. The book works at the interface between the scholarly and the practical, using rigorous methodology to ensure that its findings are reliable, while also giving attention to how Sufi thinking impacts the daily lives of Sufis. This represents an original and important dimension of this study, given the significant role played by Sufis throughout Islamic history in enriching discussion of intellectual and charismatic questions, as well as informing popular practice among “Folk” Muslims.

Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazzali (1058-1111) is one of the most important religious figures in Islamic history. He is particularly noted for his brilliant synthesis of mysticism and traditional Sunni Islam. Ghazzali's "The Alchemy of Happiness", written toward the end of his life, provides a succinct introduction to both the theory and practice of Sufism (Islamic mysticism). It thus offers many insights into traditional Muslim society. This translation is fully annotated for readers unfamiliar with Ghazzali and includes an introduction to his life and historical milieu.

The Medieval period was one of the richest eras for the philosophical study of religion. Covering the period from the 6th to the 16th century, reaching into the Renaissance, "The History of Western Philosophy of Religion 2" shows how Christian, Islamic and Jewish thinkers explicated and defended their religious faith in light of the philosophical traditions they inherited from the ancient Greeks and Romans. The enterprise of 'faith seeking understanding', as it was dubbed by the medievals themselves, emerges as a vibrant encounter between - and a complex synthesis of - the Platonic, Aristotelian and Hellenistic traditions of antiquity on the one hand, and the scholastic and monastic religious schools of the medieval West, on the other. "Medieval Philosophy of Religion" will be of interest to scholars and students of Philosophy, Medieval Studies, the History of Ideas, and Religion, while remaining accessible to any interested in the rich cultural heritage of medieval religious thought.

THIS BOOK presents several articles from a process of contemplation on God – while keeping in mind the words of Raimon Panikkar: a discourse on God is a discourse that inevitably only completes itself again “in a new silence”. And so, if the discourse is to continue – which is un-avoidable, and moreover, necessary – and the “new silence” is not or has not yet been achieved, this means one has to try to explore various other already existing contemplations on God and faith. Even though I do not belong to the camp of those who accept Heidegger’s “the God of the philoso-phers”, I think philosophy is necessary to be employed here.

The scholars who have contributed to this volume of essays are Jewish and Christian thinkers who, without melding their different religious traditions and scholarly methods, have developed complementary responses to what they believe is wrong with contemporary biblical scholarship in Judaism and Christianity. The purpose of this collection is to draw attention to the similarities among these responses and to the possibility that they may contribute to a family of postcritical methods for interpreting the scriptural traditions. The postcritical scholars employ current methods of critical, scientific inquiry to clarify the language, the historical contexts, and the didactic messages of the biblical traditions. They do not, however, find these methods sufficient. They argue that the biblical traditions communicate to their practitioners some rules of action that cannot be deciphered within the terms set by canons of critical reason that emerged in the European Renaissance and Enlightenment. Rather, among the Bible's unique rules of action are the principles for interpreting the traditions themselves. Postcritical scholars attempt to identify these rules of interpretation, producing what editor Peter Ochs has come to term postcritical Scriptural interpretation. It is neither strictly modern nor premodern. This form of inquiry emerges in the dialogue that is now unfolding between a contemporary family of scholars and their scriptural traditions.

We all want to know how the God of the Bible differs from the Islamic Allah. How does a covenant-keeping God interact in the divine-human relationship? In what ways does a contract-demanding Allah vary from biblical truth? This comparative religious exploration will equip Christians to clarify the difference. Searching Below the Surface: A Deeper look at Covenant and Contract prepares the reader to present biblical truths by exposing Muslim ideas. The book unearths the often-unseen perspectives of a covenant God called Yahweh and a deity prone to contract, Allah. The book seeks to answer these questions: How does Yahweh’s Oneness promote covenant understanding? How do Muslims define the Absolute Oneness of Allah? How do the Creation accounts in the Bible and Quran reflect theology? In what ways does Islam ignore a covenant ethos? What are the implications of covenant and contract when applied to marriage? Since covenant marriage patterns divine oneness in how spouses relate and share sacrificially, this mode of marriage mirrors the character of the biblical God. Marriage in the Bible reflects a relationship found in the divine Godhead and how he interacts with believers. “Nakhati Jon skillfully searches below the surface to understand the roots of the thinking of our Muslim friends and neighbors, and Christians” Patrick Cate, Ph.D. In a covenant marriage, the husband and wife become one, which means more than physical oneness but a mystical, spiritual unity that reflects the Trinity of Oneness! Nakhati Jon Oneness describes the Islamic idea concerning deity but undermines the ideas of Islamic marriage. Nakhati Jon Excerpt: On another scorching, sweltering day in Central Asia, we traveled to the capital in our rented taxi. As per custom, my wife sat in the back with our kids while I sat in the front, chatting with the driver. Dust and welcome air flew in through the open windows, and we talked loudly to drown out the wind. Then, the inevitable conversation began: Driver: Central Asian women are beautiful, aren’t they? (My back prickled in response to my wife’s almost-palpable eye-roll.) Me: My wife is beautiful. Driver: You should get a second wife. (I felt my wife rethinking pacifism.) Me: (Emphatically) God is one! Therefore, I will have only one wife! Driver: Oh—this is true! (Pause) Does your wife speak the language? Me: Fluently. And she doesn’t like what you’re saying. Years later, my wife confessed she had ignored the illogic of the “One God/one wife” statement in return for its success as a conversation-stopper. But in researching, I happily discovered my shot at philosophy had been logical after all. In fact, my bit of accidental wisdom carried foundational truths about Yahweh’s nature, his relationship with man, and his plan for marriage.
