The Exalter by Matthew McHenry Pdf

The Exalter was pleased to be at the top pillar looking down at a game where he had arranged all the pieces. The Exalter says he is god. The Knowers continue to follow him blindly and question nothing. The Exalter promises to end all violence and solve economic turmoil in this futuristic setting. Those unwilling to accept the Exalter are forced slaves to these so-called believers working for mandatory minimal wages, and small governmental food rations. These unfortunate men, women, and children are globally known as Derogates. Derogates are separated from normal society in poverty stricken villages. In this uncertain future, Nicolai struggles with the battles in his personal life. As his work becomes meaningless his own wife begins to slip away from him. He cant seem to find real purpose. Droughts, strange earthly phenomenons, famines, and the release of countless prisoners during the Great Pardon cause him and others to question the Exalters rule. Where are these promises of peace? When the unanswered disappearances of Derogates are discovered mass speculation and chaos follow. Nicolai finds himself searching for answers about his wife, his government, and even the Exalter himself. Events unfold and Nicolai never imagined he would be fleeing for his very life. Stresses build and armies begin to turn on their leaders as a new war looms on the horizon. This war is for individual survival. The Exalter looked confident like that of a strong lion surrounded by starved and weakened animals. My ways are easy to follow without guilt or heavy expectations. How will all of this end and how many will live or die?

The Divine Names by Al-Tilims&,ʻAfīf al-Dīn Sulaymān ibn ʻAlī Tilimsānī Pdf

A Sufi scholar’s philosophical interpretation of the names of God The Divine Names is a philosophically sophisticated commentary on the names of God. Penned by the seventh-/thirteenth-century North African scholar and Sufi poet ʿAfīf al-Dīn al-Tilimsānī, The Divine Names expounds upon the one hundred and forty-six names of God that appear in the Qurʾan, including The All-Merciful, The Powerful, The First, and The Last. In his treatment of each divine name, al-Tilimsānī synthesizes and compares the views of three influential earlier authors, al-Bayhaqī, al-Ghazālī, and Ibn Barrajān. Al-Tilimsānī famously described his two teachers Ibn al-ʿArabī and al-Qūnawī as a “philosophizing mystic” and a “mysticizing philosopher,” respectively. Picking up their mantle, al-Tilimsānī merges mysticism and philosophy, combining the tenets of Akbari Sufism with the technical language of Aristotelian, Neoplatonic, and Avicennan philosophy as he explains his logic in a rigorous and concise way. Unlike Ibn al-ʿArabī, his overarching concern is not to examine the names as correspondences between God and creation, but to demonstrate how the names overlap at every level of cosmic existence. The Divine Names shows how a broad range of competing theological and philosophical interpretations can all contain elements of the truth.

Beautiful Names of Allah (SWT) by ShaykhPod Books Pdf

In order for one to adopt noble character they must learn the blessed divine attributes and names of Allah, the Exalted, so that they can adopt each attribute into their character according to their status. For example, Allah, the Exalted, is All Forgiving according to His infinite status and adopting this attribute by forgiving others is something which has been encouraged in Islam. Chapter 24 An Nur, verse 22: “…and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” Therefore, this book will discuss some of these divine attributes and names in order for a muslim to understand and adopt their meanings until they become firmly rooted into their spiritual heart so that they can ultimately Achieve Noble Character. In fact, this is the meaning of the Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 2736, which advises that Allah, the Exalted, has ninety-nine names and whoever memorises them will enter Paradise. Adopting Positive Characteristics Leads to Peace of Mind.

Worship That Touches the Heart of God by Nina Gardner Pdf

Do you feel truly alive or are you just going through the motions in life? The fulfillment you seek can be found in worship—a worship that starts within you. The sweet psalmist David provided us his key to worship, which God vowed would never end. Once you know where you fit into this pattern of worship, and experience its freedom, you will never opt to live a life of merely going through the motions again. You will worship not because you are told to, but because you love to. In worship, God's heart of love is found. Through it—you can find joy—and feel more alive than ever before!

The Sufi Path of Knowledge by William C. Chittick Pdf

Ibn al-'Arabi is still known as "the Great Sheik" among the surviving Sufi orders. Born in Muslim Spain, he has become famous in the West as the greatest mystical thinker of Islamic civilization. He was a great philosopher, theologian, and poet. William Chittick takes a major step toward exposing the breadth and depth of Ibn al-'Arabi's vision. The book offers his view of spiritual perfection and explains his theology, ontology, epistemology, hermeneutics, and soteriology. The clear language, unencumbered by methodological jargon, makes it accessible to those familiar with other spiritual traditions, while its scholarly precision will appeal to specialists. Beginning with a survey of Ibn al-'Arabi's major teachings, the book gradually introduces the most important facets of his thought, devoting attention to definitions of his basic terminology. His teachings are illustrated with many translated passages introducing readers to fascinating byways of spiritual life that would not ordinarily be encountered in an account of a thinker's ideas. Ibn al-'Arabi is allowed to describe in detail the visionary world from which his knowledge derives and to express his teachings in his own words. More than 600 passages from his major work, al-Futuhat al-Makkivva, are translated here, practically for the first time. These alone provide twice the text of the Fusus al-hikam. The exhaustive indexes make the work an invaluable reference tool for research in Sufism and Islamic thought in general.

Islamic Theology and the Problem of Evil by Safaruk Chowdhury Pdf

A rigorous study of the problem of evil in Islamic theology Like their Jewish and Christian co-religionists, Muslims have grappled with how God, who is perfectly good, compassionate, merciful, powerful, and wise permits intense and profuse evil and suffering in the world. At its core, Islamic Theology and the Problem of Evil explores four different problems of evil: human disability, animal suffering, evolutionary natural selection, and Hell. Each study argues in favor of a particular kind of explanation or justification (theodicy) for the respective evil. Safaruk Chowdhury unpacks the notion of evil and its conceptualization within the mainstream Sunni theological tradition, and the various ways in which theologians and philosophers within that tradition have advanced different types of theodicies. He not only builds on previous works on the topic, but also looks at kinds of theodicies previously unexplored within Islamic theology, such as an evolutionary theodicy. Distinguished by its application of an analytic-theology approach to the subject and drawing on insights from works of both medieval Muslim theologians and philosophers and contemporary philosophers of religion, this novel and highly systematic study will appeal to students and scholars, not only of theology but of philosophy as well.

Al Istimdaad by Muhammad Afthab Cassim al-Qaadiri Razvi Noori Pdf

One of the great works of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat (Radi Allahu Anhu) is the ‘Al Istimdaad’ which he penned poetically to expose the Wahabi and Deobandi apostasy. These couplets were then explained by Ghaus ul Waqt Huzoor e Mufti e Azam e Hind (Radi Allahu Anhu) meticulously. ‘Al Istimdaad’ with the Explanatory Notes and Appendices is regarded as a powerful weapon against the deviants and their deception and trickery, while it serves as a powerful defence system against the deviants, for every true Sunni.

99 Drops from Endless Mercy Oceans by Sufi Path of Love Pdf

This book is a collection of 99 sohbets or speeches delivered by the Sheikh of the Sufi Order Naqshbandi, Mawlana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani ar Rabbani . Several themes are discussed, such as Islam, love, truth, spirituality, etc. Only by the light of the Spiritual Path and the mystic way can the Truth be discovered. In order for one to truly witness the Perfection of the Absolute, one must see with one's inner being, which perceives the whole of Reality. This witnessing happens when one becomes perfect, losing one's (partial) existence in the Whole. If the Whole is likened to the Ocean, and the part to a drop, the sufi says that witnessing the Ocean with the eye of a drop is impossible. However, when the drop becomes one with the Ocean, it sees the Ocean with the eye of the Ocean .
