Islam in the Third Millennium by Mohammad Soukat Ali Pdf
Islam, after many centuries, in the world’s most open, intellectually developed, and creative civilization has lost its way for a long time. Muslims are now engaged in sectarian rivalries and mutually destructive activities, simultaneously developing a narrow view of the broader world—failing to make much progress for a long time and acting aimlessly they seem to be a misfit with other people. Along with the usual ideas of reformation of Islam, this book incorporates many lateral and radical thoughts. These may inspire Muslims to regain vitality, make progress, and live in harmony with other people for a peaceful world.
Islamic Perspectives on the New Millennium by Virginia Matheson Hooker,Amin Saikal Pdf
The chapters are presented in pairs which offer Middle Eastern (and in one case South Asian) points of view which are matched by Southeast Asian perspectives on each of the six topics. While the media is quick to report on the more violent expressions of Islam, including terrorism, the vigorous debates, which now characterize the intellectual discourse in Muslim communities, are rarely if ever reported. This book not only describes and analyses those debates but also reflects the views of many Muslims across the world, emphasizing the connections and contrasts between the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
The Teachings of a Perfect Master by Henry Bayman Pdf
Collected in entirety for the very first time, this study reflects more than 25 years of close contact with the Sufi Masters of Central Anatolia, with much of that time spent in the presence of the peerless Sufi teacher Mr. Ahmet Kayhan. Out of the author's association with this personality has emerged this in-depth look at the famous and mysterious Oral Tradition of Sufism. Topics covered include the concepts of compassion and mercy, universality, ethics, faith, charity, destiny, death and the afterlife, and more. Combining the rigor of anthropology with the devotion of a disciple, this book faithfully lays bare the comprehensive teachings of the man who may be the Sufi Saint of the Age.
Islam, Modernity and a New Millennium by Ali Paya Pdf
As the world becomes increasingly globalised Islam faces some important choices. Does it seek to "modernise" in line with the cultures in which it is practised, or does it retain its traditions even if they are at odds with the surrounding society? This book utilizes a critical rationalist viewpoint to illuminate many of the hotly contended issues in modern Islam, and to offer a fresh analysis. A variety of issues within Islam are discussed in this book including, Muslims and modernity; Islam, Christianity and Judaism; approaches to the understanding of the Quran; Muslim identity and civil society; doctrinal certainty and violent radicalism. In each case, the author makes use of Karl Popper’s theory of critical rationalism to uncover new aspects of these issues and to challenge post-modern, relativist, literalist and justificationist readings of Islam. This is a unique perspective on contemporary Islam and as such will be of significant interest to scholars of Religious Studies, Islamic Studies and the Philosophy of Religion.
Everywhere we turn we see miracles. Humans, animals, water -- everything is a miracle. Muslims know the Miracle of Allah to be the Holy Qur'an, a book, but no ordinary book. True, it may be on paper and written in ink like millions of other books, but this book is the Final Revelation of Allah. Within it is contained the guidance to being a better person, a Muslim, the person who worships Allah, the Creator of the Worlds. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her for being one of the beloved wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said of him after his death: "He was the Qur'an in action". The first word revealed to Muhammad (pbuh) by the Archangel Jibril (Gabriel) was 'Iqra' which means 'Read!' The future is not about wars, it is about information, and the best information is knowledge. Muslim scholars through the ages have written volumes on every aspect of life using this word, 'Read!' as the basis for their inspiration. Islam is a force which cannot be hijacked -- its Message is universal and the more people that know The Truth, the more can embrace it. Thus, a book recommending the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh) is to be the foundation on which to spread Islam in the Millennium. This book is addressed to all of Mankind, but its true value lies in the Message to those who are the Best of Mankind, the Ummah of Muslims. It is intended to provide hope and guidance to Muslims, those who submit to Allah, but it also acts as a warning. It is a warning to those who fear Islam becoming the dominant force. Have no fear -- Islam will become the dominant force of the future. This book is also for non-Muslims who are disillusioned with the greed, corruption, moral decay, poverty, evil and hatred that surrounds them. You know that there is a better world out there, where life is better, where people are nice and decent to each other, where the right laws are enforced in the right way, where the rich give to the poor, where man regards his fellow man like his own brother. This book will hopefully show you that better world. The best weapons of any battle are not the latest in technology -- it is always knowledge. The ideas, notions and values that are contained here are those that nobody can ever criticise as a whole -- the concept is too strong and the earliest intention is the Truth, and nothing but the Truth, in the history of humanity, the only book to neither be changed nor contain any error is the Holy Qur'an. The simpleton and the intellectual will both be convinced if Allah wills. However, like any other book, it is not what we have read, but what we have learned. The moment we learn, the world will change. This book is dedicated to Allah, the Provider of Guidance, the Professor of Majesty and Beauty, and His Messenger, the Best Example of Mankind, and to all Muslims, the Best of Mankind (HQ, 3.110).

Reading the Bible in Islamic Context by Daniel J Crowther,Shirin Shafaie,Ida Glaser,Shabbir Akhtar Pdf
In the current political and social climate, there is increasing demand for a deeper understanding of Muslims, the Qur’an and Islam, as well as a keen demand among Muslim scholars to explore ways of engaging with Christians theologically, culturally, and socially. This book explores the ways in which an awareness of Islam and the Qur’an can change the way in which the Bible is read. The contributors come from both Muslim and Christian backgrounds, bring various levels of commitment to the Qur’an and the Bible as Scripture, and often have significantly different perspectives. The first section of the book contains chapters that compare the report of an event in the Bible with a report of the same event in the Qur’an. The second section addresses Muslim readings of the Bible and biblical tradition and looks at how Muslims might regard the Bible - Can they recognise it as Scripture? If so, what does that mean, and how does it relate to the Qur’an as Scripture? Similarly, how might Christian readers regard the Qur’an? The final section explores different analogies for understanding the Bible in relation to the Qur’an. The book concludes with a reflection upon the particular challenges that await Muslim scholars who seek to respond to Jewish and Christian understandings of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. A pioneering venture into intertextual reading, this book has important implications for relationships between Christians and Muslims. It will be of significant value to scholars of both Biblical and Qur’anic Studies, as well as any Muslim seeking to deepen their understanding of the Bible, and any Christian looking to transform the way in which they read the Bible.
The violent disintegration of Yugoslavia and the cultural and economic dispossession caused by the collapse of socialism continue to force Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina to reconfigure their religious lives and societal values. David Henig draws on a decade of fieldwork to examine the historical, social, and emotional labor undertaken by people to live in an unfinished past--and how doing so shapes the present. In particular, Henig questions how contemporary religious imagination, experience, and practice infuse and interact with social forms like family and neighborhood and with the legacies of past ruptures and critical events. His observations and analysis go to the heart of how societal and historical entanglements shape, fracture, and reconfigure religious convictions and conduct. Provocative and laden with eyewitness detail, Remaking Muslim Lives offers a rare sustained look at what it means to be Muslim and live a Muslim life in contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina.
