Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refine your heart and mind with the wisdom of Islamic spirituality "To live a meaningful life--one that brings us joy, contentment and fulfillment--we have to do the inner spiritual work of becoming a more complete human being." --from the Introduction Over the centuries, Islamic sages have gleaned timeless spiritual insights and practices from sacred texts, meditation and knowledge of the heart--gems that have been passed down from generation to generation. This book invites you--no matter what your practice may be--to access the treasure chest of Islamic spirituality, particularly Sufism, and use its wealth to strengthen your own journey. The riches include guidance drawn from the Qur'an, sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and Sufi poets such as the thirteenth-century Rumi on cultivating awareness, intentionality and compassion for self and others. This book also features entertaining wisdom teaching stories, especially those of Mulla Nasruddin, Islam's great comic foil, to expand the mind and heart. It breaks down barriers to accessing this ancient tradition for modern seekers by dispelling myths about the Muslim faith concerning gender bias, inclusivity and appreciation for diversity. Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, you will find these gems worthy additions to your own treasure chest within.
Book Synopsis The Origin and the Overcoming of Evil and Suffering in the World Religions by : P. Koslowski
Download or read book The Origin and the Overcoming of Evil and Suffering in the World Religions written by P. Koslowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All religions face the challenge of explaining, in view of God's goodness, the existence of evil and suffering in the world. They must develop theories of the origin and the overcoming of evil and suffering. The explanations in Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism of evil and suffering and their origin, as well as these world religions' theories of how to overcome evil and suffering, differ from one another, but are also similar in many respects. The human person is always considered to be the origin of evil, and also to be the focus of aspirations to be able to overcome it. The conviction that evil and suffering are not original and can be overcome is characteristic of and common to the religions. The explanations of the origin of evil are closely related to the explanations of the continuation and propagation of evil in human persons, in nature, and in our technology and culture that have been developed in the religions - in Christianity, for example, as the doctrine of original sin. Finally, the world religions are concerned with how to cope with suffering and offer guidance for overcoming evil and suffering. Leading scholars of five world religions, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism, have created with this volume a first-hand source of information, which enables the reader to gain a better understanding of these religions' central teachings about the origin and the overcoming of evil and suffering.

Book Synopsis The Triumphal Sun by : Annemarie Schimmel
Download or read book The Triumphal Sun written by Annemarie Schimmel and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-07-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book on Rumi's life, his poetry, his thought, and his influence. Rumi's work forms one of the pillars of the Sufi orders, particularly the Mevlevi order, better known in the West as the Whirling Dervishes. In this book Rumi emerges not only as a spiritual master, but also as a fully human being grounded firmly in the Koran and in classical Islamic mysticism. The light of the Divine Sun, in its Beauty and Majesty, manifested itself for Rumi through the person of Shams of Tabriz. Transformed by this light, consumed by this fire, Mowlana Rumi saw the world in a new light. Everywhere he perceived God's Grandeur and his Grace. The book also discusses the theological premises upon which Rumi's work rests, his attitude to the problems of free will and predestination, and his analysis of the mystical stages and stations. The book not only gives a very rich analysis of Rumi's language and poetical art, but also a picture of medieval Konya, whose features the mystical poet transforms and transfigures.

Schimmel's sensitivity and deep understanding of Sufism--its origins, development, and historical context--as well as her erudite examination of Sufism as reflected in Islamic poetry, draw readers into the mood, the vision, and the way of the Sufi. In the foreword, distinguished Islam scholar Carl W.

Download or read book Tie Your Camel written by Syed Habeeb and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-07-11 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment we wake up till the time we touchdown into our pillow, all we really do is dream before we start dreaming again in the depth of our slumber. The only difference between the dreams of the day and those of the night is that the former can be executed in absolute reality while the latter need to be deciphered. Then why is it that most of the people around us fail to achieve the dreams they so passionately aspire to? Turning the question around, how do the few who achieve their dreams actually execute it to perfection? Is it because the ones who aspire do not have the capabilities to achieve their dreams, or the ones who achieve them consistently are specially gifted? It is a popular saying that dreams that fly high need appropriate landing gears too. This book is an attempt to share the best practices and strategies used by a few extraordinary people who convert their dreams into reality time and again. This book is not a “one size fits all” goal-setting book; it’s rather a focused intention to segregate giant goals from the minor ones and go all out to get them. “Tie Your Camel” is almost a workbook that offers simple and proven steps to discover your GIANT GOALS that align withyour personality and unveils the most inspiring ways to execute them.

Book Synopsis God, Evil, and Suffering in Islam by : Salih Sayilgan
Download or read book God, Evil, and Suffering in Islam written by Salih Sayilgan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Salih Sayilgan explores the problem of evil and suffering in Islamic theology along with the questions that both religious and non-religious people alike perennially ask: Why is there evil and suffering? What is God's role in both natural and moral evil? If God is loving, just, powerful, why is there innocent suffering? Do humans have free will or are they predestined to act in a certain way? Examining both theoretical and practical theodicy in Islam, he provides Muslim perspectives on natural and moral evil in light of Islamic theological concepts. Sayilgan interrogates several specific topics related to evil and suffering, including death, sickness, aging, disability, climate change, and pandemics. These topics are explored through case studies from the lives of Muslims, with particular attention given to the American context. A comparative and dialogical study, Sayilgan's volume also engages with Zoroastrian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, and Christian approaches, as well as non-religious perspectives. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Book Synopsis Religion Gone Astray by : Don Mackenzie
Download or read book Religion Gone Astray written by Don Mackenzie and published by SkyLight Paths Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the deeper dimensions of interfaith dialogue--exploring that which divides us personally, spiritually and institutionally. "We believe that interfaith dialogue holds the key to a healing that calls us back to purpose and to meaning. We have risked confronting aspects of our traditions usually hidden, and the consequences have been deeply life-affirming. We risk becoming vulnerable as we share awkward and even unacceptable texts and interpretations, but it is this very vulnerability that allows our dialogue to move forward." --from the Introduction Expanding on the conversation started with their very successful first book, the Interfaith Amigos--a pastor, a rabbi and an imam--probe more deeply into the problem aspects of our religious institutions to provide a profound understanding of the nature of what divides us. They identify four common problem areas in the Abrahamic faiths: Exclusivity Staking Claim to a One and Only Truth Violence Justifying Brutality in the Name of Faith Inequality of Men and Women The Patriarchal Stranglehold on Power Homophobia A Denial of Legitimacy They explore the origins of these issues and the ways critics use these beliefs as divisive weapons. And they present ways we can use these vulnerabilities to open doors for the collaboration required to address our common issues, more profound personal relationships, and true interfaith healing.
Book Synopsis 30 Rights of Muslim Women by : Daisy Khan
Download or read book 30 Rights of Muslim Women written by Daisy Khan and published by Monkfish Book Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative “go-to” publication aims to educate women on how to express their rights within Islam. Perfect for enabling activists to integrate an egalitarian Islamic belief system into their movements. The most effective means of improving Muslim women's lives is connecting them to their deeply held beliefs that affirm human dignity and gender equality at the core of the Islamic faith. But Muslim women lack this information that enlightens and vouches for their sacred rights, and they have no accessible tools that encourage faith-based activism consistent with the Islamic faith. To protect them from being misrepresented by or outside their communities, there is a need to provide pre-packaged, easy-to-understand literacy tools to women so they can lead lives of choice, dignity, and opportunity. 30 Rights of Muslim Women aims to fill this gap.
