2. Keeping Clean: A book about two small children, Makram and Kareem, who does not love being clean. But they learn from the events of the story how to change their habits and to bathe, shower, wash their hair and hands and wear clean clothes.
3. Safety: A book about an adventurous little girl, Leila, who never listens to her parents; she doesn’t wear a helmet, forgets to use sun cream and wonders away from her father. But she learns from the story to follow safety rules and to listen to what her parents say.
4. Taking Medicines: A book about a little boy, Saleem. Saleem learns from this interesting and funny story that medicines are not magical, and, if not taken the proper way, they might be even be harmful.
5. Teeth: A book about a little girl, Maryam and her dog Koko. Koka had a rotten tooth, and Maryam had to take him to the vet to get that tooth removed. In this funny story, the little girl learns how to take care of her teeth.
6. Healthy Food: A book about two children, Rafiq and Tamer. Rafiq loves to sleep over at his friend’s house, because there he and his friend can eat a lot of fatty and salty food, and enjoy meals while watching television. The story helps the two kids to change their eating habits and eat healthy foods.

Ibn Sina, who is referred to as Avicenna in Latin, was a true polymath. Born in the tenth Century his passion for knowledge was unbound, and he made lasting contributions to medicine, maths and philosophy.

He served under princes and kings (and fled from them too), wrote books of philosophy that are still argued over today and set down medical treatments that continue in use. As such, Ibn Sina is often referred to as the most brilliant Muslim thinker in Islam's Golden Age.

With illustrations, photographs, and maps, the rich and diverse world that produced Ibn Sina is vividly brought alive.

Ibn Sina was a doctor, philosopher, astronomer, mathematician, politician and vizier. He was also referred to as the 'Prince of Physicians'. And due to the scope and brilliance of his work he can be compared to the great Leonardo Da Vinci.

As an emergency room physician, Dr. Travis Stork regularly sees the effects that poor lifestyle choices—the same decisions we face every day about what to eat and how active to be—have on our bodies over time. But just a few small tweaks to your daily habits can help you live longer and feel stronger.
A lively, eye-opening guide, The Doctor is In cracks the often-intimidating wellness code. You don’t need to follow the latest health crazes. Your power to save your own life is potentially thousands of times greater than that of any physician, wellness guru, or fitness expert. The secret is in seven easy, positive, and crucial steps that will help you change the way you think about diet, exercise, and the health care system. As he breaks down the building blocks for health into doable tips and action plans, Dr. Stork demystifies nutrition, exposes food fads, explains why you should be ruthlessly skeptical of health advice, and tells you which numbers you should track to keep yourself on the road to optimal wellness.
Being healthy is an important and achievable goal no matter your age or fitness level. You already hold the key to a long and happy life. It’s time to put that power into action!

Like other guides to good health, Healing Body & Soul: Your Guide to Holistic Wellbeing Following Islamic Teachings advocates abandoning an unhealthy diet and altering a sedentary lifestyle, but this book goes beyond the mere physical aspects of health. Dr. Amira Ayad is a practitioner and researcher with a Master's in Pharmaceutics and a Doctorate in Natural Health. She writes:
During the course of this work, I try to explain how you can combine the rich tradition of Islamic teaching with beneficial contemporary scientific knowledge in order to lead a holistically healthy and happy life.
The book is divided into five chapters, each concerning one of the five components that make up your body, mind and soul, clarifying in each chapter how to look after that part of you and keep it healthy. During the course of the book, you will notice how these bodies are interconnected; the health of one is highly dependent on the wellbeing of the others, so that a happy, healthy life entails a balance between all of them.
Healing Body & Soul presents holistic Islamic health science in a simple yet comprehensive user-friendly guide to better health. Healing Body & Soul is an invaluable reference that encourages and empowers people to take control of their health and their lives.

Esposito, an internationally renowned expert on Islam, traces the development of this dynamic faith and its impact on world history and politics.

* An updated Chapter 6, "The Struggle for Islam in the 21st Century," covers Muslim responses to new social and political contexts and presents the diverse and competing positions--from traditionalist to modernist--of contemporary Muslim leaders on issues of religious authority, women's rights, Shariah, violence, and terrorism.

Reviews
"This is an excellent, comprehensive, and highly accessible introduction to Islam and its civilization; Muslims and their societies in the pre-modern to the modern period; and contemporary intellectual and political trends. In my opinion, it really is the single best introduction to Islam and Muslims today. The book keeps getting better and better with each new edition!"--Asma Afsaruddin, University of Notre Dame "I have to commend OUP for its commitment to revising and updating this important book. Esposito writes in a lucid, accessible, and direct style that allows the book to be an excellent introduction for novice students. Esposito illustrates the rare ability of being comprehensive without being reductive."--Febe Armanios, Middlebury College
