Book Synopsis Business Communication in the Islamic World by : Frederik Wendisch
Download or read book Business Communication in the Islamic World written by Frederik Wendisch and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-02-20 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 1,3, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, course: Intercultural Communications, language: English, abstract: What is it most people associate with thoughts of the Islamic or Arab World? It is true, no one will forget the horrible pictures of the Gulf Wars from 1980 to 1991 or the attack of radical Muslims on the USA on September 11, 2001, but dictators like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden do not mirror the whole of the Islamic world. These radical Muslims and terror attacks are only exceptions, and it is not fair to see only this side. There are fanatics from other religions or racial offenders in the Western World as well, and it is unfair to think they are all the same because they belong to the same religious group. There are about 1.3 billion Muslims in the world and for the most part, they want only to exercise their religion without any aggressive intentions. When presented with the term “Arabic”, more traditional minds might think of men riding camels through the desert, wearing turbans. This is the more accurate image of the Islamic world; a very custom rich culture with an intense focus on hospitality . While both of these images are true, what people must recognize is the enormous business power these countries possess; and this power lies in much more than oil alone. Dubai, for example, is one of the fastest growing cities in the world with investments of hundreds of billions of US-dollars each year . It seems that there are no limits set in the world of the sheiks. In Dubai they have the Burj al-arab—the only seven-star hotel in the world—and a snow dome that offers skiing, even with the temperature outside at 50 . Furthermore, in Dubai they are building the 560 metres high Burj Dubai, which will be the highest skyscraper in the world after its completion . All this considered, it is obvious that it could be profitable to have a look at the Arabic countries for businessmen and investors. This was a short introduction to answer the question of “Why” conducting business with the Arabic world could be profitable. The following section will focus on the “How” aspect. I will explain how to cultivate a cooperative environment with Islamic business partners by describing their cultural views and customs, and what people should focus on or avoid in business transactions. It will be a general overview because Dubai is not like Bahrain, in the same way Germany is not like France, but there is one binding element for these countries – their religion.
Book Synopsis Islamic Communication System by : Aijaz Ahmad Bhat
Download or read book Islamic Communication System written by Aijaz Ahmad Bhat and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-01-18 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication is seen as a process through which the exchange and sharing of meaning is made possible. Communication, which is the vehicle for the transmission of man's experiences, is a vital resource for his survival, as the air he breathes, the food he eats and the house that shelters him from the harsh elements of nature. Communication plays a very important role in everyone's life as it acts as a source of information helps people socialize, and alter individuals attitude, and much more. Islam is a complete way of life, catering for all the field of human existence and providing guidance for all walks of life. Islam has provided principles and methods of interpersonal communication, human interaction and relationship between Muslims and non- Muslims, in order to achieve peace, equality, brotherhood, and prosperity in this world and salvation and pleasure of Allah in the hereafter. Prophet Muhammad ( Peace Be Upon Him ) used both written and oral communication as per the need and requirement. He used written communication where information had to be recorded for future use and reference and used oral communication where information had to be communicated to people immediately. When Prophet Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM) invited many kings to Islam, he used the medium of written communication to communicate the message to them. As he could not meet everyone in person, he used the mode of written communication and sent the letters through one of his companions. The Book "Islamic Communication System" consists of following chapters: 1. Introduction 2. Communication 3. Concept of Communication in Islam 4. Dawa'h 5. Characteristics of the Caller, and 6. Letters of the Last Prophet (S.A.W) *************************************************
Book Synopsis The Book in the Islamic World by : George N. Atiyeh
Download or read book The Book in the Islamic World written by George N. Atiyeh and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1995-07-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book in the Islamic World brings together serious studies on the book as an intellectual entity and as a vehicle of cultural development. Written by a group of distinguished scholars, it examines and reflects upon this unique tool of communication not as a physical artifact but as a manifestation of the aspirations, values, and wisdom of Arabs and Muslims in general. The Islamic system of book production differed from that of the West. This volume shows the peculiarities of book making and the intellectual principles that governed a book's inner structure, mysteries, and impact on culture. Investigated and explained are the issues involved in printing; the compilation of the Koran, the most important book in Islam; attitudes toward books; the oral versus the written tradition; metaphors of the book in literature; biographical dictionaries, an important genre of Islamic books; the grammatical tradition; women's contribution to calligraphy; scientific manuscripts; the transition from scribal to print culture; publishing in the modern Arab World; and the new electronic media, a non-book vehicle of communication, and its impact on education.

Book Synopsis Intellectuals in the Modern Islamic World by : Stephane A. Dudoignon
Download or read book Intellectuals in the Modern Islamic World written by Stephane A. Dudoignon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporating a rich series of case-studies covering a range of geographical areas, this collection of essays examines the history of modern intellectuals in the Islamic world throughout the twentieth century. The contributors reassess the typology and history of various scholars, providing significant diachronic analysis of the different forms of communication, learning, and authority. While each chapter presents a separate regional case, with an historically and geographically different background, the volume discloses commonalities, similarities and intellectual echoes through its comparative approach. Consisting of two parts, the volume focuses first on al-Manar, the influential journal published between 1898 and 1935 that inspired much imagination and arguments among local intelligentsias all over the Islamic world. The second part discusses the formation, transmission and transformation of learning and authority, from the Middle East to Central and Southeast Asia. Constituting a milestone in comparative studies of the modern Islamic world, this book highlights the range of and transformation in the role of intellectuals in Islamic societies.
Book Synopsis Muslims and the New Information and Communication Technologies by : Thomas Hoffmann
Download or read book Muslims and the New Information and Communication Technologies written by Thomas Hoffmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the so-called new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their interrelationship with Muslims and the interpretation of Islam. This volume taps into what has been labelled Media Studies 2.0, which has been characterized by an intensified focus on everyday meanings and ‘lay’ users – in contrast to earlier emphases on experts or self-acclaimed experts. This lay adoption of ICT and the subsequent digital ‘literacy’ is not least noticeable among Muslim communities. According to some global estimates, one in ten internet users is a Muslim. This volume offers an ethnography of ICT in Muslim communities. The contributors to this volume also demonstrate a new kind of moderation with regard to more sweeping and avant-gardistic claims, which have characterized the study of ICT previously. This moderation has been combined with a keen attention to the empirical material but also deliberations on new quantitative and qualitative approaches to ICT, Muslims and Islam, for instance the digital challenges and changes wrought on the Qur’an, Islam’s sacred scripture. As such this volume will also be relevant for people interested in the study of ICT and the blooming field of digital humanities. Scholars of Islam and the Islamic world have always be engaged and entangled in their object of study. The developments within ICT have also affected how scholars take part in and influence public Islamic and academic discussions. This complicated issue provides basis for a number of meta-reflexive studies in this volume. It will be essential for students and scholars within Islamic studies but will also be of interest for anthropologists, sociologists and others with a humanistic interest in ICT, religion and Islam.
Book Synopsis MEDIA & MUSLIM SOCIETY by : MOHD. YUSOF HUSSAIN
Download or read book MEDIA & MUSLIM SOCIETY written by MOHD. YUSOF HUSSAIN and published by IIUM PRESS. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains twelve essays on topics related to the subject “Media and Muslim Society.” It is compiled as a textbook for students taking the course of the same title at the International Islamic Universiti Malaysia. Thus, the topics selected are those covered in the course. The topics include media at various stages in the development of a Muslim society, the role of communication in a Muslim society, media control, media effects on Muslim society and the roles of ulamas in influencing the media. A special topic on Muslim society is also included at the beginning of the book. The contributors of these essays are experts in their field. They have also helped developed and taught the course. In this first edition, most of the examples and discussions are based on two Muslim societies, i.e., Peninsular Malaysia and Indonesia. This is understandable because most of the writers in this first edition are from the Malay world. We hope to include examples from other Muslim societies in the next edition when we get contribution from writers from other parts of the Muslim world. Finally, we welcome criticisms and suggestions to improve this book from our readers. We shall certainly consider these criticisms and suggestions in the next edition

Book Synopsis Communication Strategies in the Qur'an by : Christian Tamas
Download or read book Communication Strategies in the Qur'an written by Christian Tamas and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam as way of living, as existential guideline of a fifth of the world population, is inconceivable outside or without the Qur'an. That's why, any attempt to dialogue would be sterile without trying to understand the Qur'an, the transcendental core which conditions and determines the position of the "other." In such a context, knowing how does the Qur'an communicate with the receivers of its message becomes an imperative for the Occidental man, because the Qur'an is an essential and existential meeting point between the sacred and the profane, between transcendent and immanent, as determinant element of the Islamic man's mentality. Knowing the Qur'an as it is, with due respect but without exaggerations, represents thus a premise of inter-cultural dialogue and pacific coexistence. As such, this multidisciplinary and pragmatic analysis addresses itself to all those interested in better understanding the triadic relation man-God-world within Islam from a communication perspective.
Book Synopsis Judaism and Islam: Boundaries, Communication and Interaction by : Benjamin Hary
Download or read book Judaism and Islam: Boundaries, Communication and Interaction written by Benjamin Hary and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several years ago an international conference was held at the University of California to honor Professor William Brinner, whose personal scholarship throughout the years has focused on both the Jewish and Muslim historical, cultural, and intellectual experiences. This volume, which consists of the works of many of the conference participants, is a collection of essays that deal with the interaction of Judaism and Islam over history from different perspectives. The book is divided into nine parts: introduction, overview, Jewish-Muslim interaction in medieval times, Jewish-Muslim interaction in modern times, Bible and Qur'ān, law, philosophy and ethics, sectarian communities, and language, linguistics and literature. As a resolution the Arab-Israeli conflict slowly edges forward, we believe that this publication will serve the purposes of both serious scholarship and better cultural understanding.

Book Synopsis Islamic Exceptionalism by : Shadi Hamid
Download or read book Islamic Exceptionalism written by Shadi Hamid and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Islamic Exceptionalism, Brookings Institution scholar and acclaimed author Shadi Hamid offers a novel and provocative argument on how Islam is, in fact, "exceptional" in how it relates to politics, with profound implications for how we understand the future of the Middle East. Divides among citizens aren't just about power but are products of fundamental disagreements over the very nature and purpose of the modern nation state—and the vexing problem of religion’s role in public life. Hamid argues for a new understanding of how Islam and Islamism shape politics by examining different models of reckoning with the problem of religion and state, including the terrifying—and alarmingly successful—example of ISIS. With unprecedented access to Islamist activists and leaders across the region, Hamid offers a panoramic and ambitious interpretation of the region's descent into violence. Islamic Exceptionalism is a vital contribution to our understanding of Islam's past and present, and its outsized role in modern politics. We don't have to like it, but we have to understand it—because Islam, as a religion and as an idea, will continue to be a force that shapes not just the region, but the West as well in the decades to come.
Download or read book iMuslims written by Gary R. Bunt and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the increasing impact of the Internet on Muslims around the world, this book sheds new light on the nature of contemporary Islamic discourse, identity, and community. The Internet has profoundly shaped how both Muslims and non-Muslims perceive Islam and how Islamic societies and networks are evolving and shifting in the twenty-first century, says Gary Bunt. While Islamic society has deep historical patterns of global exchange, the Internet has transformed how many Muslims practice the duties and rituals of Islam. A place of religious instruction may exist solely in the virtual world, for example, or a community may gather only online. Drawing on more than a decade of online research, Bunt shows how social-networking sites, blogs, and other "cyber-Islamic environments" have exposed Muslims to new influences outside the traditional spheres of Islamic knowledge and authority. Furthermore, the Internet has dramatically influenced forms of Islamic activism and radicalization, including jihad-oriented campaigns by networks such as al-Qaeda. By surveying the broad spectrum of approaches used to present dimensions of Islamic social, spiritual, and political life on the Internet, iMuslims encourages diverse understandings of online Islam and of Islam generally.
