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 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.

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 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 A World Without Islam by : Graham E. Fuller
Download or read book A World Without Islam written by Graham E. Fuller and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2010-08-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if Islam never existed? To some, it's a comforting thought: no clash of civilizations, no holy wars, no terrorists. But what if that weren't the case at all? In A World Without Islam, Graham E. Fuller guides us along an illuminating journey through history, geopolitics, and religion to investigate whether or not Islam is indeed the cause of some of today's most emotional and important international crises. Fuller takes us from the birth of Islam to the fall of Rome to the rise and collapse of the Ottoman Empire. He examines and analyzes the roots of terrorism, the conflict in Israel, and the role of Islam in supporting and energizing the anti-imperial struggle. Provocatively, he finds that contrary to the claims of many politicians, thinkers, theologians, and soldiers, a world without Islam might not look vastly different from what we know today. Filled with fascinating details and counterintuitive conclusions, A World Without Islam is certain to inspire debate and reshape the way we think about Islam's relationship with the West.
Book Synopsis The Origins of the Islamic State, Vol. 1 by : Philip Khuri Hitti
Download or read book The Origins of the Islamic State, Vol. 1 written by Philip Khuri Hitti and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origins of the Islamic State, Vol. 1: Being a Translation From the Arabic, Accompanied With Annotations, Geographic and Historic Notes of the Kitab Futuh Al-Buldan of Al-Imam Abu-L 'Abbas Ahmad Ibn-Jabir Al-Baladhuri Interest in the Nearer East has increased our desire to know as accurately as is possible the beginnings of the faith and of the various states that have played so important a part in its history. The Arabs themselves have had, from the earliest times, a keen sense for historical tradition and an equally keen desire to preserve that tradition in writing. There is, perhaps, no people of earlier times that has left us. So large an amount of documentary evidence as to its be ginnings as they have. The evidence, of course, needs sift ing and sorting according to the canons of criticism we have learned to employ in all such cases. But, this work cannot be done by Oriental scholars alone, whose time is often taken up largely with the philological and literary examination of the texts that have come down to us. It is, therefore, eminently a part of their duty to render these texts accessible to students of history who are not masters of the Arabic language.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Muhammadanism: Being Outlines of the Religious System of Islam There is a general impression amongst European students of Islam, that it is a simple system of Deism unfettered by numerous dogmas and creeds, which are supposed to be such an insuperable hindrance to an acceptance of Christianity. Such was the opinion of the historian Gibbon, and it is also the view taken by some who seek to weaken the authority of the Christian system by extolling the merit of its great rival creed. But even amongst the advocates of Christianity there is altogether an erroneous impression as to what Muhammadanism really is.
