Book Synopsis Islam and Other Religions (Classic Reprint) by : Khwaja Kamal-Ud-Din
Download or read book Islam and Other Religions (Classic Reprint) written by Khwaja Kamal-Ud-Din and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Islam and Other Religions The character of Muhammad is perfect. His opponents cannot lay a finger on a single flaw in his private life And whatever has been saidagalnst his public career in one or two things, involves really a. Matter of principle. They say he had more than one wife; that he waged war; that he did this, that, and the other; but before we judge him 1n these matters we have to decide as to the validity of the principles under which he worked. If polygamy IS a matter of necessity in certain circumstances and an economic measure sometimes, then why find fault with Muhammad, when all the great men and benefactors of hii'rnanity, espec1ally in the world of religion, have all' of them had more than one wife. As to the use of the sword, the whole world until now has taken the grea test pride in unsheathing the weapon. War has hitherto been an indispensable institution. A Prophet was needed to teach the world the true ethics of war, and who can deny the nobility of Muhammad in this respect He unsheathed his sword only to crush evil and defend truth. With great care I read the accounts of every war waged by him, and they were all in self-defence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Islamic Classics by : Ahmed El Shamsy
Download or read book Rediscovering the Islamic Classics written by Ahmed El Shamsy and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of how Arab editors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries revolutionized Islamic literature Islamic book culture dates back to late antiquity, when Muslim scholars began to write down their doctrines on parchment, papyrus, and paper and then to compose increasingly elaborate analyses of, and commentaries on, these ideas. Movable type was adopted in the Middle East only in the early nineteenth century, and it wasn't until the second half of the century that the first works of classical Islamic religious scholarship were printed there. But from that moment on, Ahmed El Shamsy reveals, the technology of print transformed Islamic scholarship and Arabic literature. In the first wide-ranging account of the effects of print and the publishing industry on Islamic scholarship, El Shamsy tells the fascinating story of how a small group of editors and intellectuals brought forgotten works of Islamic literature into print and defined what became the classical canon of Islamic thought. Through the lens of the literary culture of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Arab cities—especially Cairo, a hot spot of the nascent publishing business—he explores the contributions of these individuals, who included some of the most important thinkers of the time. Through their efforts to find and publish classical literature, El Shamsy shows, many nearly lost works were recovered, disseminated, and harnessed for agendas of linguistic, ethical, and religious reform. Bringing to light the agents and events of the Islamic print revolution, Rediscovering the Islamic Classics is an absorbing examination of the central role printing and its advocates played in the intellectual history of the modern Arab world.
Book Synopsis A Reader on Classical Islam by : F. E. Peters
Download or read book A Reader on Classical Islam written by F. E. Peters and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1993-12-27 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To enable the reader to shape, or perhaps reshape, an understanding of the Islamic tradition, F. E. Peters skillfully combines extensive passages from Islamic texts with a fascinating commentary of his own. In so doing, he presents a substantial body of literary evidence that will enable the reader to grasp the bases of Muslim faith and, more, to get some sense of the breadth and depth of Islamic religious culture as a whole. The voices recorded here are those of Muslims engaged in discourse with their God and with each other--historians, lawyers, mystics, and theologians, from the earliest Companions of the Prophet Muhammad down to Ibn Rushd or "Averroes" (d. 1198), al-Nawawi (d. 1278), and Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406). These religious seekers lived in what has been called the "classical" period in the development of Islam, the era when the exemplary works of law and spirituality were written, texts of such universally acknowledged importance that subsequent generations of Muslims gratefully understood themselves as heirs to an enormously broad and rich legacy of meditation on God's Word. "Islam" is a word that seems simple to understand. It means "submission," and, more specifically in the context where it first and most familiarly appears, "submission to the will of God." That context is the Quran, the Sacred Book of the Muslims, from which flow the patterns of belief and practice that today claim the spiritual allegiance of hundreds of millions around the globe. By drawing on the works of the great masters--Islam in its own words--Peters enriches our understanding of the community of "those who have submitted" and their imposing religious and political culture, which is becoming ever more important to the West.

Download or read book Christianity and Islam (Classic Reprint) written by C. H. Becker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Islam Day. Again, the inquirer whose historical perspective is undisturbed by ecclesiastical considerations, will approach the subject with somewhat different interests. He will expect the comparison to provide him with a clear View of the influence which Christianity has exerted upon other religions or has itself received from them: or he may hope by comparing the general develop ment of special religious systems to gain a clearer insight into the growth of Christian ity. Hence the object of such comparisons is to trace the course of analogous develop ments and the interaction of influence and so to increase the knowledge of religion in general or of our own religion in particular.

Book Synopsis The Faith of Islam (Classic Reprint) by : Edward Sell
Download or read book The Faith of Islam (Classic Reprint) written by Edward Sell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of Islam This edition is the result of another fifteen years' study of Islam, and of further intercourse with Musalmans. It deals with certain phases of modern Muslim thought in India and in Persia which found no place in the first edition. The result is that a considerable amount of fresh matter has been added, though the general form of. The book has not been altered. The Arabic editions of the sahihu'l-bukhari and of the Milal wa Nihal of Sharastani have been freely used, and many extracts from these important works have been made. I have also added two appendices, one of which enters into a technical and detailed account of the art of reading the Quran and of its peculiar spelling, and also gives illustrations in Arabic of the various readings; the other, on the Law of J ihad, I have inserted in order to show the most recent method adopted by a liberal-minded Musalman of dealing with this important subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Islam IT has been strange indeed to revise this book in barracks, amid efforts to learn to fire big guns - possibly against the Turks. And yet this necessity which lies upon us Englishmen today only emphasizes afresh the importance of our trying to understand the real problem of Islam. When the war is over, Islam will remain. Whatever state of disorganization it may be in and whatever its centre, it will still tow er up before us gaunt and shadowed as one of the most difficult problems of civilization and as the great reproach of the Christian Church. We can do nothing to help Moslems, or to solve their problem, unless we know something of their story and have tried to understand the power and fascination of their rugged simple creed.

Download or read book Raymond Lull written by H. U. Weitbrecht and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Raymond Lull: And Six Centuries of Islam At the time of Raymond Lull's birth in 1235, the great series of campaigns which we know as the Crusades were drawing towards their close. More than six centuries had passed since Mohammed died in 632. He had brought the pagans of Arabia to the worship of one God, and his successors went forth to other lands, at first mostly Christian, to enforce the same message and to proclaim that Mohammed had superseded all previous prophets, including the Christ. Their armies came with this message against peoples whose Christianity was largely corrupted and divided into warring sects, some of which helped the invader. The alterna tive to acceptance of Islam was for pagans the sword, for Jews and Christians the payment of a yearly poll-tax and a degraded position in state and society, for, wherever the faith of Islam con quered, there the law of the Koran must govern the land no less than the religion.

Book Synopsis Da'wa and Other Religions by : Matthew J. Kuiper
Download or read book Da'wa and Other Religions written by Matthew J. Kuiper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Da‘wa, a concept rooted in the scriptural and classical tradition of Islam, has been dramatically re-appropriated in modern times across the Muslim world. Championed by a variety of actors in diverse contexts, da‘wa –"inviting" to Islam, or Islamic missionary activity – has become central to the vocabulary of contemporary Islamic activism. Da‘wa and Other Religions explores the modern resurgence of da‘wa through the lens of inter-religious relations and within the two horizons of Islamic history and modernity. Part I provides an account of da‘wa from the Qur’an to the present. It demonstrates the close relationship that has existed between da‘wa and inter-religious relations throughout Islamic history and sheds light on the diversity of da‘wa over time. The book also argues that Muslim communities in colonial and post-colonial India shed light on these themes with particular clarity. Part II, therefore, analyzes and juxtaposes two prominent da‘wa organizations to emerge from the Indian subcontinent in the past century: the Tablīghī Jamā‘at and the Islamic Research Foundation of Zakir Naik. By investigating the formative histories and inter-religious discourses of these movements, Part II elucidates the influential roles Indian Muslims have played in modern da‘wa. This book makes important contributions to the study of da‘wa in general and to the study of the Tablīghī Jamā‘at, one of the world’s largest da‘wa movements. It also provides the first major scholarly study of Zakir Naik and the Islamic Research Foundation. Further, it challenges common assumptions and enriches our understanding of modern Islam. It will have a broad appeal for students and scholars of Islamic Studies, Indian religious history and anyone interested in da‘wa and inter-religious relations throughout Islamic history.

It is true that the soil at Mecca was stubborn and (unlike that of Judaea) wholly unprepared The cause also, at times, became the object of sustained and violent op position. Even so much of success was couse quently, under the peculiar circumstances, remark able. But it was by no means singular. The pro gress fell far short of that made by Christianity during the corresponding period of its existence,1 and indeed by many reformers who have been the preachers of anew faith. It gave no promise what ever of the marvellous spectacle that was about to follow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
