The Lantern on the Path to Allah Almighty by Shaikh Hussain ibn Ali ibn Sadiq al-Bahrani Pdf

Do not be misled into thinking that a great deal of knowledge without correcting and cultivating one's conduct can be of any use. Never! Ahl al-Bayt (as) have said, "Do not be tyrannical scholars so your falsehood may wipe out your righteousness" (al-Saduq's Amali, Vol. 9, p. 294). "Nor should you be misled into thinking that a bad mannered person can be happy in the company of a father, a son, a spouse, a friend, a companion, a family, a teacher or a student. Nay! They all are harmed by him, and they find his conduct offensive; so, how can he attain the means of perfection which are scattered among the people while those who are perfect shun and run away from him?! And be further informed that anyone who discerns the path of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, studying their legacy, will find how they guided mankind, attracted people to the creed, all through their good manners, ordering their followers to do likewise saying, "Invite people [to your creed] but not with your tongues" (Al-Kafi, Vol. 2, p. 46), meaning through good manners and beautiful deeds, so that they may be role models for those who emulate. So, if it becomes obvious that seeking this life or the life to come can both be complete through good manners, and that complementing the code of ethics is the benefit of the Message without which life can never be good, it becomes also obvious that cultivating manners has a precedence over any other obligation and is more important than any obligation. It is the key to everything good, the source of everything beautiful, the one which brings about every fruit, and the basis of any objective.

The Lantern by Husain Sadiq Al-Bahrini Pdf

The appearance in English of Shaikh Husain ibn Ali ibn Sadiq al-Bahrani's Al-Siraj: A Lantern on the Path to Allah Almighty will certainly be welcomed both by the scholar, as well as by the thoughtful non-specialist who wishes to deepen their understanding of what might well be described as the inner life of Shi'a Islam. It is a work of scholarly erudition and rare insight. But to read this marvelous book merely to "be informed" would be to miss its central point and to deprive oneself of the blessings enjoyed by anyone who takes its teaching seriously enough to allow it to change the way they think, decide, and act. In other words, while this work is the fruit of al-Bhahrani's hard and sustained thinking about the highest things, it is addressed ultimately to the heart, not only the head, of the reader. Indeed, in the very first chapter the author warns us of the dangers of an intellectual life that has severed itself from the fundamental longings of the human heart and the high demands which Allah Almighty has made upon the whole person: "Do not be misled into thinking that somehow a great deal of knowledge without correcting and cultivating one's conduct can be of any use. Never!.."...Non-Muslim readers acquainted with the classical philosophical tradition of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and other teachers of the so-called philosophia perennis, will be delighted to find that the permanent questions of that tradition, "What is happiness?," "What is virtue?," "What is human nature?" are addressed herein. The author's claim, coming from the very heart of Islam, that God has created us for happiness will be a revelation especially to Catholics who might suppose that this is an axiom belonging exclusively to the Christian West. Yet such claims and their attendant explanations, beside their intrinsic merits, provide a hopeful starting point for the serious discussion of ultimate questions between Muslims and non-Muslims, which may allow interreligious dialogue finally to get beyond the often insipid talk of "tolerance," "sensitivity," and all the other pallid pseudo-virtues of the post-modern West.

Mary and Jesus in Islam by Yasin T. al-Jibouri Pdf

YASIN T. AL-JIBOURI is an Iraqi-American writer, author, editor and translator who has as many as 54 titles to his credit. Details of these works and of his other activities are provided in the Preface to this book as well as front cover images of some of these works on pages 46-75. He holds a Masters' degree in English from an American university, and he taught English in his home country, Iraq, and in Saudi Arabia and the United States. Presently, he is writing his major work titled Allah: The Concept of God in Islam in two volumes as well as A Dictionary of Islamic Terms, also in two volumes. This book is an attempt to bring Christians and Muslims of the world closer to each other, to bridge the gap between, to establish an alliance among them, so that they may together be able to face the challenges of the present and of the future. One of these challenges is extremism, the new menacing plague that is endangering the lives of so many people from both creeds and from others. Knowledge, right and accurate knowledge, is powerful, and such power can be put to good use: to clear misconceptions, remove doubts and suspicions and establish trust and understanding among followers of both creeds. Philosophically, this book cites many first-hand references to prove that, unfortunately, present day Christianity, regardless of any of its many denominations, has truly distanced itself from the original word preached by Jesus Christ. It traces the times and circumstances when concepts of "son of God", "Holy Trinity" and "salvation" crept into Christianity and distorted the pristine faith brought by Christ. At the same time, it highlights Qur'anic verses that beautifully paint a portrait of Jesus Christ and his saintly virgin mother, Mary, testifying to the truth brought by Christ, to his miracles, guidance and truth. The information is presented in a flowing style that captures the attention of any reader, including one who just is looking for a good story to enjoy.

Spirituality and Global Ethics by Mahmoud Masaeli,Rico Sneller Pdf

This volume addresses three fundamental questions about the interplay between the ethics of globality and spirituality: What are the practical implications of spirituality for the condition of life in a turbulent era of violent religious/non-religious extremism? In what way can spirituality, the view of love, compassion, tolerance, and mutual recognition encounter mistrust, enmity, separateness, and violence? How, and in what way, can spirituality contribute to the newly emerging global ethics? Religious scholars distinguish between the esoteric and exoteric sides of belief systems. Esotericism centres on the inner awareness, and conceals a certain spirituality that is only transmittable to those who could successfully pass through a process of initiatic preparation and transpersonal practices to understand the mystical dimensions of existence. In contrast, exotericism takes the outer dimension of every day consciousness into account and favours the possibility of the popular understanding of the essence of existence. In this perspective, truth could be grasped by the public without the need of any transpersonal initiative and transformation of consciousness. Esotericism extends beyond religion and has become the spiritual philosophy of life without the need of being essentially religious. It has become common, notably in the West, to identify oneself as spiritualist without having religious affiliations. The condition of globality has provided an unprecedented opportunity for spiritual perspectives to grow. Ideas, perspectives, beliefs, and philosophies of life are growing outside local/national containers to express themselves in different global settings, while the forces of globalisation are influencing local identities and cultures. While evolving global transformations strengthen people’s capability to leave institutionally ordered belief systems, it simultaneously enables them to rearrange themselves around alternative perspectives. These fundamental transformations cultivate a fabulous landscape for the growth of spirituality.

Spirituality by Sayyid Ali Al-Hakeem Pdf

Mankind lives in this world surrounded by temptation and desire. Many of us fall into complacency - becoming more and more attached to this world while not paying much attention to the hereafter. God sent His messengers and scriptures to call mankind to avoid the temptations of this world and seek the eternal life of the hereafter, setting on a journey towards an everlasting Paradise. God created a system in which our free will and choices can lead us towards the greatest of spiritual heights to be the greatest of His creations. This spiritual journey is not a small or trivial matter. We cannot approach the task of spiritual advancement without first equipping ourselves with the proper tools and understanding. This book is a compilation of lessons in ethics revolving around specific discussions on man's relationship with God and the effects of our actions on that relationship. The topics discussed here range from the methodology for self-betterment to building a relationship with the Creator. It is an effort to provide some practical wisdom for anyone seeking to reach closer towards the Almighty.

Arbaʻūn Al-Qudsīyah by Denys Johnson-Davies Pdf

The hadith qudsi are the sayings of the Prophet divinely communicated to him. The present collection has been compiled from all the available books of hadith. The forty chosen here are all well authenticated and present many of the doctrinal, devotional and ethical elements of Islam. A scholarly introduction deals fully with the subject and shows the way in which the hadith qudsi differs from the Qur'an and from the Prophetic hadith. This selection and translation has been made by the translators of An-Nawawi's Forty Hadith. Forty Hadith Qudsi is regarded as a companion volume and has been printed in similar format with the original Arabic text given alongside the English translation.
