Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Is A Definite Contribution Towards Understanding The Challenge Of Islamic Renaissance By An International Readership All Over The World. It Presents Not Only A Rational Interpretation Of Islamic Resurgence In The Present Day World, But It Also Brings Islam In Juxta¬Position To Other Religions With A Choice For The Reader To Determine His Course; For Islam Is A Progressive, Dynamic, Enlightened, Peaceful And Forward-Mov¬Ing Force, Which Threatens No One And, On The Contrary, Welcomes Cooperation With All Those Willing To Do So.The Fundamentalism Of This Work Vitalized The Claim That Islam Is The Only Choice While Its Orthodoxy Leavened The Doctrine Of This Great Religion. Accord¬Ing To Professor Giuseppe Buricchi Of Rome, The Author Is A Muslim Fundamentalist, A Muslim By Birth, And A Great Muslim Scholar Through A Life Dedicated To Studies . In This Study And Such Other Works Of His As Islam The Kingdom Of Allah, Islamic Polity In Modern Times And Islam The Only Choice, His Scholarly Approach To The Subject Reached Its Culminating Point.The Author Tried To Highlight The Axiom That Islam Reformed Is Islam No Longer.

Islamic Renaissance, There¬Fore, Has A Positive Role In Promoting The Cause Of International Peace.

Book Synopsis Books-In-Brief: Studies in Islamic Civilization by : Ahmed Essa
Download or read book Books-In-Brief: Studies in Islamic Civilization written by Ahmed Essa and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Islamic Civilization draws upon the works of Western scholars to make the case that without the tremendous contribution of the Muslim world there would have been no Renaissance in Europe. For almost a thousand years Islam was arguably one of the leading civilizations of the world spanning a geographic area greater than any other. It eliminated social distinctions between classes and races, made clear that people should enjoy the bounties of the earth provided they did not ignore morals and ethics, and rescued knowledge that would have been lost, if not forever, then at least for centuries. The genius of its scholars triggered the intellectual tradition of Europe and for over seven hundred years its language, Arabic, was the international language of science. Strange then that its legacy lies largely ignored and buried in time. In the words of Aldous Huxley, “Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.” Studies in Islamic Civilization is a compelling attempt to redress this wrong and restore the historical truths of a “golden age” that ushered in the Islamic renaissance, and as a by-product that of the West.

Book Synopsis Humanism in the Renaissance of Islam by : Joel L. Kraemer
Download or read book Humanism in the Renaissance of Islam written by Joel L. Kraemer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1992 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the enlightened rule of the Buyid dynasty (945-1055 A.D.) the Islamic world witnessed an unequalled cultural renaissance. This book is an investigation into the nature of the environment in which the cultural transformation took place and into the cultural elite who were its bearers. After an extensive introductory section setting the stage, the book deals with the main schools and circles and with the outstanding individual representatives of this renaissance. The main expression of this renaissance was a philosophical humanism that embraced the scientific and philosophical heritage of Classical Antiquity as a cultural and educational ideal. Along with this philosophical humanism, a literary humanism was cultivated by litterateurs, poets, and government secretaries. This renaissance was marked by a powerful assertion of individualism in the domains of literary creativity and political action. It thrived in a remarkably cosmopolitan atmosphere - Baghdad, the center of the 'Abb?sid empire and of Buyid rule.

Book Synopsis Lost History by : Michael Hamilton Morgan
Download or read book Lost History written by Michael Hamilton Morgan and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the major role played by the early Muslim world in influencing modern society, Lost History fills an important void. Written by an award-winning author and former diplomat with extensive experience in the Muslim world, it provides new insight not only into Islam's historic achievements but also the ancient resentments that fuel today's bitter conflicts. Michael Hamilton Morgan reveals how early Muslim advancements in science and culture lay the cornerstones of the European Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and modern Western society. As he chronicles the Golden Ages of Islam, beginning in 570 a.d. with the birth of Muhammad, and resonating today, he introduces scholars like Ibn Al-Haytham, Ibn Sina, Al-Tusi, Al-Khwarizmi, and Omar Khayyam, towering figures who revolutionized the mathematics, astronomy, and medicine of their time and paved the way for Newton, Copernicus, and many others. And he reminds us that inspired leaders from Muhammad to Suleiman the Magnificent and beyond championed religious tolerance, encouraged intellectual inquiry, and sponsored artistic, architectural, and literary works that still dazzle us with their brilliance. Lost History finally affords pioneering leaders with the proper credit and respect they so richly deserve.

This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A delightfully original take on…the prospects for liberal democracy in the broader Islamic Middle East.”—Matthew Kaminski, Wall Street Journal As the Arab Spring threatens to give way to authoritarianism in Egypt and reports from Afghanistan detail widespread violence against U.S. troops and women, news from the Muslim world raises the question: Is Islam incompatible with freedom? In Islam without Extremes, Turkish columnist Mustafa Akyol answers this question by revealing the little-understood roots of political Islam, which originally included both rationalist, flexible strains and more dogmatic, rigid ones. Though the rigid traditionalists won out, Akyol points to a flourishing of liberalism in the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire and the unique “Islamo-liberal synthesis” in present-day Turkey. As he powerfully asserts, only by accepting a secular state can Islamic societies thrive. Islam without Extremes offers a desperately needed intellectual basis for the reconcilability of Islam and liberty.

Book Synopsis Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires by : Mohammad Gharipour
Download or read book Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires written by Mohammad Gharipour and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross-cultural exchange of ideas that flourished in the Mediterranean during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries profoundly affected European and Islamic society. Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires considers the role and place of gardens and landscapes in the broader context of the information sharing that took place among Europeans and Islamic empires in Turkey, Persia, and India. In illustrating commonalities in the design, development, and people’s perceptions of gardens and nature in both regions, this volume substantiates important parallels in the revolutionary advancements in landscape architecture that took place during the era. The contributors explain how the exchange of gardeners as well as horticultural and irrigation techniques influenced design traditions in the two cultures; examine concurrent shifts in garden and urban landscape design, such as the move toward more public functionality; and explore the mutually influential effects of politics, economics, and culture on composed outdoor space. In doing so, they shed light on the complexity of cultures and politics during the Renaissance. A thoughtfully composed look at the effects of cross-cultural exchange on garden design during a pivotal time in world history, this thought-provoking book points to new areas in inquiry about the influences, confluences, and connections between European and Islamic garden traditions. In addition to the editor, the contributors include Cristina Castel-Branco, Paula Henderson, Simone M. Kaiser, Ebba Koch, Christopher Pastore, Laurent Paya, D. Fairchild Ruggles, Jill Sinclair, and Anatole Tchikine.

Book Synopsis Islam and the Secular State by : Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im
Download or read book Islam and the Secular State written by Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should be the place of Shari‘a—Islamic religious law—in predominantly Muslim societies of the world? In this ambitious and topical book, a Muslim scholar and human rights activist envisions a positive and sustainable role for Shari‘a, based on a profound rethinking of the relationship between religion and the secular state in all societies. An-Na‘im argues that the coercive enforcement of Shari‘a by the state betrays the Qur’an’s insistence on voluntary acceptance of Islam. Just as the state should be secure from the misuse of religious authority, Shari‘a should be freed from the control of the state. State policies or legislation must be based on civic reasons accessible to citizens of all religions. Showing that throughout the history of Islam, Islam and the state have normally been separate, An-Na‘im maintains that ideas of human rights and citizenship are more consistent with Islamic principles than with claims of a supposedly Islamic state to enforce Shari‘a. In fact, he suggests, the very idea of an “Islamic state” is based on European ideas of state and law, and not Shari‘a or the Islamic tradition. Bold, pragmatic, and deeply rooted in Islamic history and theology, Islam and the Secular State offers a workable future for the place of Shari‘a in Muslim societies.
