Book Synopsis Shifting Allegiances: Networks of Kinship and of Faith by : Isabel Moyra Dale
Download or read book Shifting Allegiances: Networks of Kinship and of Faith written by Isabel Moyra Dale and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when Muslim women gather together at the mosque to read the Qur'an, learn, and pray? How does family loyalty interact with mosque attendance for women? This book explores the growing Muslim women's piety movement through looking at one women's program in a Syrian suburban mosque. Community models shape individual behavior. The place and power of blessing help define the boundaries between orthodox and popular Islam. Modesty and shame, feasts and fasting, purity and prayer, interact to shape daily life possibilities for women involved in the mosque program. At the same time, the growing accessibility of religious teaching for women allows them to take up new places of authority in the Muslim ummah. Women read the Qur'an not just for blessing, but for what it has to say to issues of daily female and family life. And the words of communal dhikr devotion offer a window into the worshippers' consciousness of God and of Muhammad, Prophet of Islam. This detailed examination of a women's mosque program places it within the wider contemporary movement of piety and da'wa (mission) in Islam, offering an insight into the forces that are shaping communities and countries today.
Book Synopsis THE PRINCIPLES OF SHARI’AH: TEXTS AND MATERIALS by : HASBOLLAH BIN MAT SAAD
Download or read book THE PRINCIPLES OF SHARI’AH: TEXTS AND MATERIALS written by HASBOLLAH BIN MAT SAAD and published by PENA HIJRAH RESOURCES. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compilation Series: The Principles of Shari’ah: Texts and Materials is a solid, application-oriented text for students taking law subjects focusing on the Shari’ah matters. Many new features make this edition a richer and stronger learning resource for students. Several factors motivated the authors to write this book. After having the experience in legal field and teaching for more than 20 years, it became clear that there was a definite need for more detail materials in this area. In addition, there was need for a book which would give full recognition to an easier method and the authors felt it was time for a text which would develop the ideas and methods with this in mind. This book covers a thorough discussion of the development of Islamic Law in Malaysia. A major audience for the book will be students studying the law subjects. The order of topics, however, provides a degree of flexibility, so that the book can be of interest to different readers through basic concepts until the advanced concepts (i.e. the discussion of the areas in a very comprehensive manner). The purpose of this book is to take the readers on an introduction to the principles of Shari’ah by which the meaning of such subject at basic level is better understood. Hopefully, this book can be benefited by the readers in their journey to success.
Book Synopsis The Illusion of Eternal Religious Law by : Joseph The Monotheist
Download or read book The Illusion of Eternal Religious Law written by Joseph The Monotheist and published by Joseph The Monotheist. This book was released on 2024-09-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the third in a series that presents an attempt to understand the Qur’anic revelation—published concurrently with the first and second volumes. It continues on the work presented in the first two volumes of this series to propose a new interpretation of the Qur’anic revelation that is claimed to constitute a more accurate representation of the revelation. The first three volumes of this series argue that the religion of Islam or rather the numerous interpretations of Islam are unacceptable representations of the Qur’anic revelation. The proposed interpretation of the Qur’anic revelation challenges the standpoints of Traditional Islam on three key issues: inclusiveness, the sources of religious knowledge, and the composition of any acceptable Qur’anic-based interpretation of religion. Each of the first three volumes of this series is dedicated to one of these topics, respectively. In this book the stance of the proposed interpretation of the Qur’anic revelation on law is addressed. This position will prove to be of special significance particularly in the context of modernity—and the modern state. Furthermore, Islamic law and its relationship to the religion of Islam is explored. The proposed interpretation of the Qur’anic revelation does not see religion to be the source of law, but rather it sees religion to be a source of ethics. It sees that any acceptable interpretation of religion that is based on revealed scripture should have no law component. It rejects religious law altogether and calls for the implementation of secular law. In consequence, the proposed interpretation of the Qur’anic revelation would be redefining the role of religion and its domain of operation. What Islam is the book talking about? Is it one Islam that around one-quarter of the world’s population follows? Are all of the commands in the Qur’an of eternal applicability? What is Islamic law (commonly referred to as Shari’a)? Why study Islamic law and why is it important to study it? Is there only one Islamic law? How does Islamic law relate to Islam? Why does this book call for comprehensive religious reform and not religious law reform? These questions and a multitude of others are addressed in this volume of the series. This book is self-contained. It can be read as part of the series or independently. It does not require the reader to have previous knowledge in any of the topics discussed. The book discusses topics you do not find in your typical book about the Qur’an or Islam. It would interest those who want to learn about the Qur’an, its message, and Islamic law. Among this group would be those searching for a reformed understanding of the Qur’an and how it applies today; those interested to learn about Islamic law—what it is and what it is not; and those interested in monotheistic religions in general. This book will prove to be particularly useful to those seeking to understand the problems in the contemporary interpretations of Islam, and consequently how such problems reflect on the Muslim individual and societies in general. Keywords: Islam, Islamic law, eternal law, revealed scriptures, interpretations of scripture, theology, the Qur’an (Quran, Koran, al-Qur’an, el Coran, القران الكريم), Sunna, Hadith, Shari’a, Fiqh, monotheism, inclusiveness, secularism, philosophy of law, philosophy of religion, religious reform, religious law reform, Arab spring, comparative religion, philology, semantics.

Book Synopsis Public Culture and Islam in Modern Egypt by : Hatsuki Aishima
Download or read book Public Culture and Islam in Modern Egypt written by Hatsuki Aishima and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be an intellectual in Egypt today? What is expected from an 'authentic scholar'? Hatsuki Aishima explores these questions byexamining educated, urban Egyptians and their perceptions of what it means to be 'cultured' and 'middle class' - something that, as a result of the neoliberal policies of Egyptian government, is widely thought to be a shrinking sector of society. Through an analysis of the media representations of 'Abd al-Halim Mahmud (1910-78), the French-trained Sufi scholar and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar under president Anwar al-Sadat, Aishima discusses the connection of Islam to these middle-class considerations and makes an original contribution to the debate on the commodification of religious teaching and knowledge. Public Culture and Islam in Modern Egypt is thereby aunique addition to the fields of anthropology, Middle East and media studies.

Download or read book Cradle of Islam written by Mai Yamani and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Saudi Arabia really a homogeneous Wahhabi dominated state? In 1932 the Al Saud family incorporated the kingdom of Hijaz, once the cultural hub of the Arabian world, in to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The urban, cosmopolitan Hijazis were absorbed in to a new state whose codes of behavior and rules were determined by the Najdis, an ascetic desert people, from whom the Al Saud family came. But the Saudi rulers failed to fully integrate the Hijaz, which retains a distinctive identity to this day. In "Cradle of Islam", the product of years spent in Mecca, Medina, Jeddah and Taif, Mai Yamani traces the fortunes of the distinctive and resilient culture of the Hijazis, from the golden age of Hashemite Mecca to Saudi domination to its current resurgence. The Hijazis today emphasise their regional heritage in religious ritual, food, dress and language as a response to the 'Najdification' of everyday life. The Hijazi experience shows the vitality of cultural diversity in the face of political repression in the Arab world.

This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Calamitous and Lamentable 'Arab Spring is a work that was inspired by recent events in the Middle East. Author 'All ma Dr. S ni lih Mus apha casts a critical eye on the Arab Spring and identifies what he perceives as a major missed opportunity for the Arab nations to move forward. As a firm believer in practical Islam, Dr. Mu apha regards the word of Allah in much the same manner he regarded his medical textbooks: as a practical guide for how to operate. A firm believer in the power of education, Dr. Mu apha advocates an optimistic and constructive vision of how the power of Allah's word can be a force for good in the Arab world and elsewhere. It is the author's firm belief that by understanding the physical world and how it is governed by the laws of the Creator, we may be able to find a way to live the lives we dream of in peace and light. "Or is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark clouds, darkness upon darkness; if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light

Book Synopsis The Qur'an and Its Message Versus the Three Major Monotheistic Religions by : Joseph The Monotheist
Download or read book The Qur'an and Its Message Versus the Three Major Monotheistic Religions written by Joseph The Monotheist and published by Joseph The Monotheist. This book was released on 2024-09-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the curious and the believer alike find themselves pondering the same question: What is the Qur’an, and what is so special about the Qur’an that drives almost one-quarter of the world’s population to believe in it? The Qur’an is not what one would consider an easy read, whether talking about Arabic speaking peoples reading the Arabic Qur’an or non-Arabic speaking peoples reading translations of the text in other languages. Most people think that reading the Qur’an once or even several times readily enables them to understand what the Qur’an is saying. That surely would be true if one were a native Arabic speaker living in the space-time of the revelation fourteen hundred years ago. However, for us living in other space-time, the present author assures the reader that that is not the case. This book is part of a series. It is the first volume of “The Qur’anic Revelation: A Reformed Understanding”—published concurrently with the second and third volumes. In this book the author argues that the religion of Islam is an unacceptable representation of the Qur’anic revelation. Furthermore, that the religions based on God’s revealed scriptures, as we know them today, including but not limited to the religion of Islam, deviate from the essence of God’s revelations—mainly bringing Judaism and Christianity into the discussion. The author puts forward his own interpretation of the Qur’anic revelation and, in this volume, primarily addresses its inclusiveness aspect by exploring how the Qur’an understands both inclusiveness and religion. What Islam is the book talking about? Is it one Islam that around one-fourth of the world’s population follows? Are all of the commands in the Qur’an of eternal applicability? Did the Qur’an come with a new religion and how did the Qur’an define membership in the religion? What impact did the Qur’an have on the beliefs and practices of those who accepted the revelation from the peoples of previous scriptures in the space-time of the Prophet, yet as argued, who at the same time maintained their religious identities? This volume addresses these questions and a multitude of others. This book is self-contained. It does not require the reader to have previous knowledge in any of the topics discussed. The book discusses topics you do not find in your typical book about the Qur’an or Islam. It would interest those who want to learn about the Qur’an and its message. Among this group would be those searching for a reformed understanding of the Qur’an and how it applies today; those curious to learn how the Qur’anic message affects followers of the previous revealed scriptures; and those interested in monotheistic religions in general.
Book Synopsis Reasoning with God by : Khaled Abou El Fadl
Download or read book Reasoning with God written by Khaled Abou El Fadl and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of recent concern over Shari’ah, such as proposed laws to prohibit it in the United States and conflict over the role it should play in the new Egyptian constitution, many people are confused about the meaning of Shari‘ah in Islam and its role in the world today. In Reasoning with God, renowned Islamic scholar Khaled Abou El Fadl explains not only what Shari‘ah really means, but also the way it can revitalize and reengage contemporary Islam. After a prologue that provides an essential overview of Shari‘ah, Abou El Fadl explores the moral trajectory of Islam in today’s world. Weaving powerful personal stories with broader global examples, he shows the ways that some interpretations of Islam today have undermined its potential in peace and love. Rather than simply outlining challenges, however, the author provides constructive suggestions about how Muslims can reengage the ethical tradition of their faith through Shari‘ah. As the world’s second largest religion, Islam remains an important force on the global stage. Reasoning with God takes readers—both Muslim and non-Muslim—beyond superficial understandings of Shari‘ah to a deeper understanding of its meaning and potential.
