You must have heard about Islam and its adherents, Muslims, in the news. This book offers an insightful introduction to Islam and takes the reader through well-known authentic sources and takes a closer look at the Islamic Faith, the Noble Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah and his sayings. It explores the Five Pillars of Islam in depth and narrates the biography of the Prophet briefly but distinctly. The book presents a brief yet comprehensive survey of the basic teachings of Islam with particular stress on the significance of Islam's central belief in the Oneness of Allah or Tawhid. The book offers an in-depth discussion on the Glorious Qur'an as the Revealed Book.
Undoubtedly there is an overwhelming demand for information about Islam, and this timely book attempts to offer a comprehensive, authentic understanding of this fastest growing religion: the Straight Path. The book provides succinct, accessible, authentic, sensitive and crystal clear information on the topics that range from the general to more specific issues - what is the status of women in Islam? Are women seen as second class citizens in Islam? Who is superior - man or woman? What is Jihad? What does Islam say about abortion, mercy-killings or euthanasia, inter-religious marriages, suicide, man's treatment towards his wife, polygyny, divorce, dress, veil, the rights of parents, privacy in homes, clothing and ornaments, the wisdom of banning gold and silk for men, perfumes, unisex fashions, the alleged cruelty towards animals and foods - lawful and unlawful. Islam - A Beginner's Guide to Islam is a splendid introduction - carefully researched and comprehensive, yet highly readable. It corrects many popular and erroneous notions about Islam that prevail in non-Muslim communities.
For the newly-converted Muslim, there are many profound insights of great significance; for instance, the passages on women, their treatment and on jihad, nearly always are completely misunderstood, rather misrepresented by the mass media. This study represents a traditional view of Islam as experienced by Muslims. We believe this work will prove an invaluable source for both new Muslims as well as the general public. Indeed this book will take you on a journey through various aspects of Islam, and Islam makes a man reborn!

Dr. Jerald F. Dirks

In A Concise Introduction to Islam, Dr. Jerald Dirks presents a brief, simple, and straightforward introduction to one of the world’s most misunderstood religions. The book consists of six easily understood chapters. The FIRST chapter focuses on the commonalities that exist between Islam and the Judaeo-Christian tradition, including similarities in prophetic history and in ethical and spiritual teachings. The SECOND chapter clears up prevalent misconceptions that exist about Islam, while the THIRD chapter presents the fundamental pillars of Islamic belief and practice. In the FOURTH chapter, Dr. Dirks examines four of the major differences between Islam and Christianity, including the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, the crucifixion event, the nature of Jesus, and the nature of God. Finally, the last two chapters deal with “hot potato” topics. For example, the FIFTH chapter looks at the Islamic concept of Jihad and how that concept has been misunderstood and distorted by some so-called Muslims. The SIXTH chapter examines and clarifies the role of women in Islam and presents the evidence supporting the proposition that Islam is actually a champion of women’s rights.

The Day of Resurrection: In the Light of the Qur'an and Sunnah (Islamic Creed Series Vol. 6).

Belief in the Day of Resurrection is one of the central tenets of Islamic faith. It is a belief that was preached by all the prophets, and it is a belief that makes sense of a sometimes incomprehensible world. Belief in the Day of Resurrection and the final Judgement brings benefits in this world, on the individual and social level. It makes the individual focus on what is in his or her ultimate best interests, guiding the person’s actions in ways that will benefit him or her and bring happiness in this world and the next. On the broader social level, this belief imposes controls on human greed and restrains people from committing transgressions for which they would ultimately have to answer.

The Qur’an and the Sunnah are filled with detailed information about what will come to pass on that great Day. Drawing upon these sources of Islam, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar takes us through the events of that Day, from the first Trumpet-blast and the end of life in the universe and on earth, through the terrors of the Resurrection and the ordeals of the Judgement, to the final entry to the place of eternal abode, in Paradise or Hell. This is a book which deserves to be on Muslim bookshelves in homes, schools, and Islamic centres, for it deals with a topic of vital importance to every believer.

Desde que el profeta Muhámmad se presentó ante sus compatriotas recitando el Corán con el mensaje de la Unicidad de Dios hace catorce siglos, se han levantado miles de personas en contra de este mensaje; unos usando la fuerza y otros tratando de apoyar su rechazo con argumentos científicos. Es de estos últimos que trata este magnífico libro, conciso, revelador y abrumador en sus conclusiones. El autor analiza, una por una, todas las diferentes teorías que han sido sugeridas en torno al tema del origen del Corán, con la sinceridad y objetividad que deberían caracterizar a todo aquel que quiere llegar a la verdad. El Sr. Njozi presenta ante el lector catorce siglos de teorías y explicaciones sobre el origen de este libro que cambió el curso de la historia universal.

This is the Spanish translation of The Sources of the Qur’an: A Critical Review of the Authorship Theories. "Who is the author of the Qur’an?" On this subject scholars have flagrantly contradicted each other. This work attempts to make a critical review of the major ‘authorship’ theories by pressing into service logical arguments, historical evidence, textual analysis and scientific data. Probably, the only point of agreement about the Qur’an is that it was uttered for the first time by a man who was born in Makkah (Mecca), a city of Arabia, in the sixth century—a man by the name of Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him). As to the source of the Qur’an, scholars are divided into three main groups: those who believe that Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him) himself was the author; those who believe that he was not the author himself but learned it from another human author or authors; and those who believe that the Qur’an has no human author but is rather a word-for-word revelation from God. Hamza Njozi examines the three theories and comes to a firm and logical conclusion.

Sickness strikes as light as a simple cold or allergy, and as hard as a plague or cancer. It keeps the human being under check, reminding him of his weakness and giving him a chance to turn to the One who possesses to afflict and cure. This book deals with sickness, its regulations, and lessons associated with it. It presents the Islamic stand toward a number of modern medical issues, and also discusses important regulations relating to those with disabilities.

It keeps the human being under check, reminding him of his weakness and giving him a chance to turn to the One who possesses to afflict and cure. This book deals with sickness, its regulations, and lessons associated with it. It presents the Islamic stand toward a number of modern medical issues, and also discusses important regulations relating to those with disabilities.

Richard Peres

On May 2, 1999, Merve Kavakci walked into the Turkish Grand National Assembly to take her oath of office as a member of Turkish Parliament, while wearing her Islamic headscarf (hijab) which is banned for civil servants in secular Turkey. A near riot ensued, and the Prime Minister told the crowd to 'put this woman in her place.' Since then, Kavakci has become an outspoken critic of Turkey's secularization policy, travelling the globe in support of Muslim women's rights, especially regarding the hijab, which she promotes as a symbol of female empowerment.

The Day Turkey Stood Still is a unique behind-the-scenes story of the first headscarved woman to be elected into the Turkish Parliament and the harsh reaction against her election. The book reveals for the first time what happened behind closed doors to prevent Merve Kavakci from taking her oath of office, and it deconstructs her vilification by the government, the military, the media, and the political parties. The book also uses this fascinating true story to promote a greater understanding of contemporary Turkish politics and to illustrate the ongoing tension between Turkey's military-secular bloc and its predominantly Islamic population.

This highly-accessible book will resonate with Western readers who want to know more about this fundamental issue and gain a greater understanding of women's issues, religious conflicts, political Islam, human rights, and the struggle for democracy in the Middle East. The Day Turkey Stood Still will be required reading for any academic who wants to understand the dynamics and undercurrents of Turkish politics today.

Rebounding, the second novel of the Echoes series written by American Muslim author Jamilah Kolocotronis, explodes with revenge and revelation as the series' main character, Joshua Adams, struggles with the painful echoes of his past and is confronted with frightening accusations of terrorist activity.

Joshua Adams' father, Sam, abandoned his wife and children for another woman when Joshua was barely five months old. After 40 years of neglect, Sam shows up, wanting to reconnect with his sons. Joshua's struggles with anger and resentment are inflamed by his father's cruel remarks about Joshua's bi-racial marriage. Words spoken in a moment of anger haunt Joshua as Sam seeks revenge and initiates a power struggle between the father and son. The struggle between father and son leads to Joshua's arrest and imprisonment on charges of terrorism. He is degraded by guards and inmates because of his faith. His faith also sustains him. After his release, Joshua must decide how to respond to his father.

Jamilah Kolocotronis' five book series chronicles the lives of Joshua Adams and his Muslim and non-Muslim family members living in Chicago-USA. "In the first book, Echoes, Joshua is a young man, dealing with the effects of bitterly divorced parents, a wild youth, his own disastrous teenage marriage, and guilt over his short-comings as a father," Kolocotronis says. "The impact of his decision to convert to Islam has far-reaching impact on all his extended family members."

Rebounding picks up the story when Joshua is forty, well-established and at peace with himself. "Of course, things change radically when his father comes back into his life," Kolocotronis says, with a grin. Future books in the series will focus on Joshua's brothers, children, and nephews. Kolocotronis' epic family saga of despair, revenge, bitterness, hope, love, and faith takes its place alongside Roots, The Magnificent Ambersons, the Fortsyte Saga, and The Thorn Birds. It could be the story of any American family.

The Islamic Education curriculum is considered one of the most important teaching curricula. Its concern is educating the person physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. And for the curriculum to be effective in those aspects, we should first regard the curriculum itself in terms of experiences that it presents, and its suitability for main objectives, and for the students’ and community’s needs. We should regard the teacher who is an important element in executing the curriculum and achieving the objectives, and we cannot forget the role of the supervisor and educational management.
The strategies, methods, and techniques that are used in the teaching and learning process vary a lot. Accordingly, the Islamic Education teacher has to follow up with this development as he perceives the procedures to be followed to plan, execute, and evaluate the curriculum consciously and effectively. As a result, his experience becomes a minaret that guides other workers in the education field.
This material is a result of educational experiences that are based on academic and field experiences. We hope that this would be a new fundamental to be added to educational literature in this field.

The substantive interpretations of the Qur’anic chapters are the best statements, which explicitly unite the chapter and its purposes. It projects the Qur’anic miracle of correlation of verses and in its connection to the chapter’s subject and purposes.
Scholars at this age paid attention to show the substantive unity Qu’anic chapters. Some of those scholars are the Islamic theoreticians Imam Muhammad Abdullah Darraz, Sayyid Qutob, Mahmood Shaltoot , and Muhammad Muhammad Al-Madani, may Allah be pleased with them.
Sheikh Al-Madani excels in showing the purpose by saying, “There is a soul in each chapter of the Qur’an which goes through its verses and dominates its principles, commands, guidance, and style. It is known that Prophet Muhammad (s) ordered to put the chapters in their specific place, which was revealed to him by Allah. This was for a purpose which the substantive interpreters make sure to clarify to consider what early scholars missed in this aspect, to be closer to their age in explaining the purposes of the Holy Qur’an, and show the substantive unity in the Qur’an’s Chapters.”
The Qur’an is the source and reference, but at the same time, it has its own standards, models, and principles. In these models and principles, Allah made Muslims nation of moderation. He made them exemplars of other people; which mean that their laws, characteristics, and models are examples forthe world. These are correct standards which all people return to and which they refer to. Tastes, provisions, and methodologies are modified and changed according to others’ tastes, provisions, and methodologies.
Soorat Al-Ma’edah is one of the greatest chapters of the Holy Qur’an. With its substantive unity, it clarifies with the characteristics of the Islamic Nation, which Allah (swt) prepared to teach the rest of humankind through. This book is a trial to show these characteristics, which tell us the methodology of the Holy Qur’an in preparation and education.

John L. Esposito

Now in a new edition, this exceptionally successful survey text introduces the faith, belief, and practice of Islam from its earliest origins up to its contemporary resurgence. John L. Esposito, an internationally renowned expert on Islam, traces the development of this dynamic faith and its impact on world history and politics. Lucidly written and expansive in scope, Islam: The Straight Path, Fourth Edition, provides keen insight into one of the world's least understood religions. It is ideally suited for use in courses on Islam, comparative religions, and Middle Eastern history and culture.

New To The Fourth Edition:

* A revised Chapter 5, "Religion and Politics," provides more focused and up-to-date coverage of Osama bin Laden's influence and the continued growth of extremism; the relationship of Islam to violence; the meaning of jihad and the origins of a global jihad ideology; the role of suicide bombing; and the influence of Saudi Arabia's Wahhabi Islam.

* 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.

* More extensive treatment of early Islam in Chapters 1 and 2

* An enhanced art program featuring twenty-one photos and three maps

* A new appendix that includes an extensive timeline of key events in the history of Islam

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

John L. Esposito

John L. Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. Now, in this brilliant portrait of Islam today-- and tomorrow-- he draws on a lifetime of thought and research to provide an accurate, richly nuanced, and revelatory account of the fastest growing religion in the world.

Here, Esposito explores the major questions and issues that face Islam in the 21st century and that will deeply affect global politics: Is Islam compatible with modern notions of democracy, rule of law, gender equality, and human rights? How representative and widespread is Islamic fundamentalism and the threat of global terrorism? Can Muslim minority communities be loyal citizens in America and Europe? In the midst of these questions, Esposito places an important emphasis on the issue of Islamophobia, the threat it poses, and its vast impact on politics and society in the US and Europe. He also turns the mirror on the US and Europe and paints a revealing portrait of how we appear to Muslims.

Recent decades have brought extraordinary changes in the Muslim world, and in addressing these issues, Esposito paints a complex picture of Islam in all its diversity--a picture of urgent importance as we face the challenges of the coming century.

Este mensaje es para todos los seres humanos. Es por todo buscador de la verdad que tiene preguntas sobre el Islam, Dios (Alá) y cuál es el propósito de nuestra existencia es. Estas y muchas otras preguntas son discutidas y contestadas en este libro.

Cuando consideramos por cuántas generaciones persecución religiosa y la ignorancia han prevalecido en Occidente, empezamos a entender por qué el Islam es una religión en gran medida malentendida. Ideales islámicos son desconocidos por la mayoría de la gente. "Esto no es una sorpresa", dice el Dr. Maurice Bucaille en la introducción de su libro, "La Biblia, el Corán y la Ciencia".

La presentación del Islam en este libro es breve y proporciona respuestas directas a muchas preguntas, como Bucaille hace lo mejor para responder a tantas preguntas comunes y corregir la mayoría de los conceptos erróneos. Este libro abrirá las puertas a una nueva dimensión de pensamiento, lo que le permite darse cuenta de la importancia de su papel como un ser humano en este universo y su relación personal con nuestro Creador, Allah (Dios) Todopoderoso.

Se llega a aprender sobre Allah, Su revelación final, el último de sus profetas y mensajeros, el Islam, el papel de los seres humanos en esta vida, y otros temas relacionados. Tenga en cuenta que los textos en español del Corán y el Profeta Muhammad (s) mencionados en este libro son sólo una traducción aproximada y el contorno de sus significados, desde su idioma original es el árabe.


This message is for all humans. It is for every seeker of truth that has questions about Islam, God (Allah) and what the purpose of our existence is. These and many other questions are discussed and answered in this book.

When we consider for how many generations religious persecution and ignorance have prevailed in the West, we begin to understand why Islam is a largely misunderstood religion. Islamic ideals are unknown by most people. "This is not a surprise," says Dr. Maurice Bucaille in the introduction of his book, "The Bible, the Qur'an and Science."

The presentation of Islam in this book is brief and provides direct answers to many questions, as Bucaille does his best to answer as many common questions and correct most misconceptions. This book will open the doors to a new dimension of thought, allowing you to realize the importance of your role as a human in this universe and your personal relationship with our Creator, Allah (God) Almighty.

You will come to learn about Allah, His final revelation, the last of his prophets and messengers, Islam, the role of humans in this life, and other related topics.
Please note that the Spanish texts of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad (s) mentioned in this book are only a rough translation and outline of their meanings, since their original language is Arabic.

Tenga en cuenta que los textos en español del Corán y el Profeta Muhammad (s) mencionados en este libro son sólo una traducción aproximada y el contorno de sus significados, desde su idioma original es el árabe.


This message is for all humans. It is for every seeker of truth that has questions about Islam, God (Allah) and what the purpose of our existence is. These and many other questions are discussed and answered in this book.

When we consider for how many generations religious persecution and ignorance have prevailed in the West, we begin to understand why Islam is a largely misunderstood religion. Islamic ideals are unknown by most people. "This is not a surprise," says Dr. Maurice Bucaille in the introduction of his book, "The Bible, the Qur'an and Science."

The presentation of Islam in this book is brief and provides direct answers to many questions, as Bucaille does his best to answer as many common questions and correct most misconceptions. This book will open the doors to a new dimension of thought, allowing you to realize the importance of your role as a human in this universe and your personal relationship with our Creator, Allah (God) Almighty.

You will come to learn about Allah, His final revelation, the last of his prophets and messengers, Islam, the role of humans in this life, and other related topics.
Please note that the Spanish texts of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad (s) mentioned in this book are only a rough translation and outline of their meanings, since their original language is Arabic.

Dr. Gohar Mushtaq

The book Islam – Its Beauty & Wisdom is a novel presentation of Islam, interweaving traditional Islamic material with well-documented contemporary research from the physical and behavioral sciences. This book provides an understanding of the wisdom of Islamic teachings from a religious-scientific perspective. This is a refreshingly different approach to a classic subject of the wisdom behind Islamic acts of worship. It has meanings and relevance to both Muslim and non-Muslim readers.

Review:
"This book first explains what the five pillars of Islam are in such a way any person, Muslim and non-Muslim, can understand and appreciate. It then heads in a direction I have never personally seen before in any religious manuscript. By this, I mean it provides us with an effective scientific reasoning to explain health benefits associated with Islamic acts of worship... If one really wants to understand Islam, then I can think of no better place to start than this book by Dr. Mushtaq." -- Jeffrey Ira Bernstein (Molecular Biologist, U.S.A.)

This reference tool, which is a humble attempt to place before the English-speaking Muslim children a number of basic Islamic teachings and concepts, is primarily aimed at children of age ten years and over and presents topics in an easy-to-use alphabetical format. It also covers a wide range of topics and features cross-references which draw attention to related subjects.

Given the fact that some of these Islamic teachings and concepts have been forgotten by many Muslims, and given the fact that some of them have been given wrong definitions or interpretations by some non-Muslims, either deliberately or out of ignorance, an effort has been made here to present these teachings and concepts in their true light and clear picture.

The definitions cover a wide range of concepts as well as some of the well-known Prophets and Messengers of Allah, may Allah's peace be upon them all, the significance of certain important Islamic occasions, the benefits of the observance of certain practices and a short biography of the four rightly-guided caliphs who helped shape the destiny of the new faith.

Even though the present reference guide is designed specifically for Muslim children, readers and students of all ages and different faiths who wish to learn more about the world's fastest-growing religion will certainly find it enlightening and highly informative.

What does Islam Say? was developed as a result of the many inquiries received by the Muslim Educational Trust from students seeking knowledge about the Islamic viewpoint on today's major issues and talking-points for their project work. The book covers issues as diverse as music, racism, abortion, Aids, and many others. This informative book has proven to be of interest to people of all ages who want to know more about their faith, which these days is the subject of many news reports. No book on Islam is entirely comprehensive and so there are areas and topics not covered in these pages. In some cases, readers are given a taste of subjects that deserve extensive further study.

Zahra Al Zeera

Critically examining the western, secular approach to formal education the author contests the value of an education system focusing solely on the intellectual and physical aspects of human development. The methodological aim and structure of this approach are compared to those of Islam which Dr. Al Zeera notes gives credence to the importance of spiritual and religious factors, as well as scholarly ones, with the overall objective of forming a whole and holy human being who, instead of resisting the paradoxes of life, uses their interrelatedness as a means of personal and societal development. One interesting factor examined within the broader framework of the study is the area of female spirituality, an element, which the author argues, is vastly under-represented in prevalent Islamic literature. This study is a holistic view of knowledge and a sociological discussion adopting an unconventional approach of using the author's own personal experiences as the basis for debate and analysis. We are invited to enter the world of understanding and observation to experience for ourselves an unusual approach to dialectical thinking.

Hammudah 'Abd al 'Ali

One of the best known and widely distributed general information books about Islam. The author directs his message to both Muslims and non-Muslims in a style that appeals positively to many Westerners. Islam in Focus was written toward the end of the author's life and reflects a strong ethical approach to Islam. As a graduate of Al Azhar University in Cairo he also studied and lived in North America. This combination enabled him to become a well respected lecturer and scholar and serves him well in this book. He talks about the knowledge of God and belief in Him constitute the very foundation of Islam. The subject is so vital it calls for a thorough and clear discussion. For the purpose of clarity some simple demonstrations will be used. These may well appear boring or too simple for those who already know something about the subject. Such informed persons are invited to have patience and show appreciation of the importance of the matter. There are individuals who like to doubt the concept of God in the name of science, or because of a lack of experience and understanding. The attitude of such people reflects an uneasy mentality, although they claim to be learned intellectuals. My concern will not be with their claims; rather it will be with their true position. This book is easy read and very straight forward and it’s highly recommended.
