Book excerpt: In Chasing a Mirage, Tarek Fatah Writes: Islamists argue that the period following the passing away of Muhammad was Islam's golden era and that we Muslims need to re-create that caliphate to emulate that political system in today's world. I wish to demonstrate that when Muslims buried the Prophet, they also buried with him many of the universal values of Islam that he had preached. The history of Islam can be described essentially as the history of an unending power struggle, where men have killed each other to claim the mantle of Muhammad. This strife is a painful story that started within hours of the Prophet closing his eyes forever, and needs to be told. I firmly believe the message of the Quran is strong enough to withstand the facts of history. It is my conviction that Muslims are mature and secure in their identities to face the truth. This is that story. Advance Praise for Chasing a Mirage "Tarek Fatah has written a provocative and challenging book which is a must read for anyone who cares about these issues." —Janice Gross Stein "Chasing a Mirage is an extremely valuable contributing to the fight by progressive Muslims against Islamist fascism. This book should be required reading for the Left in the West who have mistakenly started believing that Islamists represent some sort of anti-imperialism." —Farooq Tariq "Fatah argues passionatley for universalism instead of exclusivism, integration instead of ghettoism, and makes a powerful appeal for the silent majority of Muslims to speak out before it is too late. This work of courage and daring needs to be read widely." — Pervez Hoodbhoy "This fascinating work by brave and bri8lliant tarek Fatah is simultaneously thought-provoking, instructive and enlightening for laymen and scholars, Muslims and non-Muslim...an invaluable and rare addition to the corpus of Islamic literature in the post-9/11 world, a bold step towards Islamic Reformation and Enlightenment." —Taj Hashmi "Tarek Fatah's is a voice that needs to be heard. Canada needs a healthy, reasoned debate about the issues he is raising, and indeed so does the world." —Bob Rae "This fascinating work by brae and brilliant Tarek Fatah is simultaneously thought-provoking, instructive and enlightening for laymen and scholars, Muslim and non-Muslim... an invaluable and rare addition to the corpus of Islamic literature in the post-9/11 world, a bold step towards Islamic Reformation and Enlightenment." —Taj Hashmi "Tarek Fatah's is a voice that needs to be heard.

This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the Shia today are unaware of the fact that Imams of the Prophet's Family, his household members and his progeny were always condemning, chastising, rebutting, rebuking and criticizing them for their constant evil deeds and designs; their betrayal of the Members of the Prophets family, insincerity, irreligiousity, pervasive innovations, polytheistic practices, abusing of the Prophets companions, disloyalty, betrayals of the Muslims, cowardice, infidelity, corruption (of religion, intension and purpose) and tending towards unbelief. It is our desire in this little discourse to elaborate, explain and show that the progeny of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and his family has suffered a lot from the hand of the Shia; that all their sufferings are as a result of Shia betrayals and that the progeny of the Messenger of Allah, the Prophet's companions and our predecessors; the learned scholars of Islam have all condemned and prayed against the Shia for their misconducts, sinister motives, false display of love of the Prophet's progeny and betrayal of Islam and Muslims. We have made it a point of duty to depend on Shia sources with regard to primary presentation of evidences in this regard, by the will of Allah.It is know clear to you what is meant by Shia and their different groupings and we are concerned in this book with the extremist Shia (represented today by the Shia Rafida, Imamiyyah, Ithna Ashriyyah, Isma'iliyyah, Druze and Jarudiyyah or Houthiyyah) for they the ones that frustrated Imam Ali's effort to fight for justice and spread Islam in areas where Islam has not yet reached during the time of the first three Caliphs; they are the ones that made Imam Ali cried and wept bitterly in his life; they are the ones that made his heart bleed in sorrow, anguish, pain and grief; they are the ones from whom he prayed and supplicated to Allah for separation and parting of ways even with death; they are the ones upon whom he prayed to Allah to never bless with good rulers; they are the ones that betrayed his son Imam Hasan, stole his property and tried to kill him; they are the ones who invited Imam Husain to come to them and later on betrayed him, abandoned him, handed him over to the enemy and fully participated in killing him, members of the Prophet's family and progeny and their loyal followers; and they are the ones who took the survivors of Karbala to Damascus as captives etc, etc. Their atrocities, hatred for the family of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and his progeny and hatred for Islam and Mulisms will be clear to you as you read this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is important that each sane, responsible person put aside partisanship, righted his intension and use the reasoning upon which Allah has created people and not to relegate it to what he was indoctrinated by members of his sect." IBN AL-WAZIRBefore the reader is a priceless book written by Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in defense of Islam, Muslims and the Prophet's companions (r.a). The author wrote the original book in four big volumes under the title, Minhaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah fi Naqd Kalam ahlul-Rafd and 'Itizal (The fair path of the Prophet on refuting Shia Rafidah and Mu'atazlites), which was printed under the title, Minhaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah fi Naqd Kalam ash-Shia wal-Qadriyyah (The path of Sunnah of the Prophet on refuting Shia and Qadriyyah). This book was abridged recently by Sheikh Abdullah Ghunaiman, a Professor in the Islamic University, Madina, Saudi Arabia, under the title, Mukhtasar Minhaj as-Sunnah (An abridged path of the Sunnah). Before him the book was abridged by the student of Ibn Taimiyyah, Imam Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Uthman al-Dhabi, under the title, Al-Muntaqa min Mihaj al-'Itidal fi Naqd Kalam Ahlul Rafd wal 'Itizal (An abridged path of the Sunnah).In his introduction to the book, Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taimiyyah stated: ": A number of people of the Ahlus Sunnah and Jama'ah (community) brought to me a book that was written by one Rafidah, (Shia) scholars of our time who is displaying his merchandise and inviting people to the creed of Imamiyyah Rafidah; whoever he can be able to invite among rulers, leaders and other ignorant men, whose knowledge of science and religion is limited and who lacks the knowledge of Muslim's principles of religion. He was aided in his cause by those who traditionally aid the Rafidah of the Batinites, atheists, who in their hearts are philosophers, who worship celestial bodies and who are actually outside the fold of those who follows the Messengers of Allah (s.a.w), do not believe in following the religion of Islam and do not forbid following religions other than Islam; nay they believe that creeds are just like political parties which one can identify with at his wish and that Prophethood is a general fair politics that has been laid down for people's common well-being in this world." Thus, this book is a polemical response and a critique of the one written by the Rafidi scholar and you will find it strong, lucid and self-explained, by the Will of Allah.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This world is the arena of striving, struggle, exertion, and making effort and the Hereafter is the place of reward and punishment; where the believer who have been righteous and a doer of good will be rewarded with Paradise, while the disbeliever, the polytheist and the practitioner of evil will be punished with Hell Fire. Paradise is a good abode and none but those who are good will enter it for Allah is good and He accepts nothing but that which is good. Thus the method and the tradition of Allah with regard to His slaves is to test them with trials, tribulations, calamities, adversities, comfort, abundance, good health, wealth, the good and the evil; so that the believers will be known from the unbelievers and the hypocrites, the sincere from the insincere, and the patient from the impatient and so that the truthful will be distinguished from the liar. The believers and doers of good are aided by Allah to acquire beneficial virtues through trial and tribulation which will aid them to be nearer and closer to Allah, as well as help them to be successful in this life. Some of those virtues and good character traits are; devotion to Allah, supplication to Allah, seeking for Allah's forgiveness, patient, humility, the doing of good to themselves and to other people. In the contrast the criminals and hypocrites are only harden by trials and tribulations for they will become more arrogant, more disobedient to their Lord and more unthankful to Him. Thus, tests, trials and tribulations and test with good and evil are general for all human beings; they are for the believers and the non believers; they are for the doers of good and the doers of evil. It is part of the general test of that Allah has given man choice and free will to choose between good and evil; He gave man the right to choose the best things without being forced or the wrong things; the straight path or the crocked way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the reader is a precious, priceless, beneficial book written by Abdullah bin 'Abshan al - Ghamidi, titled: Siyat al - Lazi'at fi Kashfi Kazb wa Tadlis Sahib al - Muraj'at (Scourging whips: Uncovering the lies and fabrications of the author of The Right Path). The book; The right path (Muraja'at) was written by Sayyid Abdul Husain Sharafuddin Musawi an Iraqi Shia scholar (who settled and live in Lebanon) for the purpose of informing the Shia that the proofs to the rightness of their creed are supported by Ahus - Sunnah texts and in order to convert the ignorant, unsuspecting Ahlus - Sunnah to Shia creed or at least to put doubt in their minds with regard to their beliefs in Islam. Many Muslim scholars have written replies and critiques to the book, The right Path one of them is the author of this book, to which I hereby give the translated version (into English) the title: Reply to Shia; a critique of the right path. Other people that wrote a critique of the right path included Ayatullah Abul Fadl al - Borqei al - Qummi titled: Naqd al - Muraja'at (which I also translated into English), an electronic copy of the Arabic and Persian versions could be found in the web site: www.borqei.com. Another book written as critique to Muraja'at was authored by Dr. Ali Ahmad Salous titled: Fariyyat al - Kubra; al - Muraji'at li Abdul Husain Musawi. Abu Maryam bin Muhammad al - 'Azami also wrote a critique to Muraja'at titled: al - Hujaj al - Dhamighat li Naqdi Kitabul Muraja'at. Arabic electronic copies of these books and others written in reply to Shia or explaining their creeds both in the fundamentals (beliefs) and the observances (jurisprudence) could be found in the following websites: www.fnoor.com, www.dd-sunnah.net, www.gift2shia.com. Books found in these sites are written by both Ahlus - Sunnah scholars and former Shia scholars who left Shiism for Islam and they cover almost all branches of Shia creeds. The main purpose of writing this book is not to argue on the strength of the proofs brought forward by Musawi in his book, The right path, but to prove that they are not proofs supporting his creed in the first place because proving a creed has to be based on truth and not on lies, distortions, fabrications, fraudulent alterations, contradictory statements, defamation of the Prophet's companions (r.a) and degrading the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) in some of his conducts. After you finish reading this book, you will realize that it has no scientific value and that it is one of the greatest examples of academic cheating, dishonesty, deception, and fabrication; you will also come to realize that Musawi (and Shia generally) are unable to bring forward one authentic occasion where Imam Ali (r.a) or any member of the Prophet's household, stood up and declare that he is appointed by Allah and His Messenger to be the successor of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) as the leader of the Muslim community. We never found Imam Ali (r.a) citing the episode of Ghadir Khum, or the case of being appointed to overseer Madina when the Messenger of Allah and his companions went for the Tabuk campaign or any other episode to show that he is appointed by Allah to lead the Muslim community, but in the contrast we saw him saying that appointment to lead the Muslims is by consultation among themselves and that whoever they choose to lead them became the leader as per the pleasure of Allah (refer to Sermons nos.54, 91, 137, 172, 196, 227, 204 and letters no.1 and 6 etc. in Nahjul Balagah). Are Shia scholars more learned than Ali and members of the Prophet's household (r.a)?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic position on marriage in general is based upon the fact that Allah created men and women so that they can provide company to one another, love one another, procreate and live in peace and tranquility to the commandments of Allah and the injunctions of His Messenger (s.a.w). The Qur'an stated: "And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose (tranquility and peace of mind) in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect" (Qur'an 30:21). The Qur'an further stated: "And Allah has made for you wives of your own kind, and has made for you, from your wives, sons and grandsons, and has bestowed on you good provision. Do they then believe in false deities and deny the Favour of Allah (by not worshipping Allah Alone)" (16:72). Apart from the word of Allah, there are many citations of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) which further elucidate the Islamic position on marriage. The Prophet (s.a.w) has said: "There is no monkhood (monasticism) in Islam." This shows that celibacy has never been considered in itself a virtuous act in Islam. Thus the following Prophets advice to all young people: "O young men, whoever among you is able to marry, let them do so, for that would help them lower their gaze and guard their chastity" (Bukhari).Now, it is our intention in this treatise to look into Shia Mut'ah marriage and their other religious instructions relating to sex and sexuality as it is related in their creed and see if they conform to the objectives of marriage in Islam and whether they conform to the Laws of Allah and the instructions of His Messenger (s.a.w). It is our desire and intension to relate this study to sources from Shia Imamiyyah, Ithna Ashariyyah creed seeing that many people are being carried away into this creed thinking that they found guidance better than the guidance of Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Glory is to Allah Lord of the Worlds, Whose praise should precede all writing and every speech! May the blessings of Allah rest on Muhammad, His Prophet and Apostle, on his family and companions by whose guidance error I escaped! Before the reader is a priceless book written by Ayatullah Sayyid Abul Fadl bin Rida al- Borqei al - Qummi titled: Naqd al - Muraja'at (a critique of The Right Path). The book; the right path, was written by Sayyid Abdul Husain Sharafuddin al - Musawi, an Iraqi Shia scholar who settled in Lebanon, for the purpose of teaching the Shia that the truth to the righteousness of their creed are supported by Ahlus Sunnah texts and for the purpose of converting the ignorant, unsuspecting Ahlus Sunnah to Shia creed or at least to put doubt in their minds with their belief in Islam Many Muslim scholars have written replies and critiques to the book written by Abdul Husain (The Right Path), each one taking a particular form of methodology. The one before the reader is different in methodology to all other critiques and above all it was written by a former Shia scholar who has reached the position of an authority (Mujtahid) in the Shia Imamiyyah sect; and none can inform you about a thing other than a learned, expert in it.The book; The Right Path, is one of the books that the Shia Imamiyyah gives a lot of attention this days. It was translated into many languages and thousand of copies were printed and distributed free of charge. Today Shia counts this book among their main references. They gave more attention to this book because their four main books (of hadith and jurisprudence) and other books are full of things that blackened the Shia Imamiyyah, Ithna Ashriyyah sect for they contained a lot of shameful and corrupt creeds and it is impossible to say that what are narrated in those books is the religion of members of the Prophet's household. Thus, the book "The Right Guidance" and other books that are calling and inviting to Shiism hide the creed, superstitions, fairy tales, fables, exaggerations, and extremist creeds that those core Shia books contained. The author of this book, al - Borqei (may Allah have mercy on him), has mentioned a little of the contents of one of those books - which is al - Kafi by Kulaini - in this book.The author explained why he wrote the book thus: After all these situations one of those who love me sent to me a book titled Muraja'at (correspondences or letters - the book was translated into English under the title: The Right Path), he asked me to look into it and to sieve from it illusions from facts, it's scum from the reality. The book was written by Sayyid Abdul Huasain Sharafudden one of the scholars of Shia Imamiyyah, he claimed that the Shia sect is the school of thought of the progeny, people of the prophet's household. He composed the book into questions which he allegedly said were asked by a Sunni scholar and which he himself answered. The author of the book displayed distress and sorrow that each group of the Muslims sects held tenaciously to its creed and shows obstinacy against the other sect saying: "The reality of those brothers who are joined by one principle and one creed unfortunately display violent disagreements...and this induced distress and sorrow! So what is the way out?" He continued his digression saying: " I entered Egypt ...and met by luck one of it's greatest scholars...I complained to him about my feelings and he made similar complaints to me...that was a blessed period between us to ponder over ways by which Allah will unite our words, and mend with it the cracks in the Islamic community. Among the principles we agreed upon are that the two sect; Shia and Ahlus Sunnah are Muslims ...and their differences are not in the principles and the fundamentals...and there is no disagreement between them other than what occur between scholars who apply their independent judgments.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 'Arabick' Interest of the Natural Philosophers in Seventeenth-Century England" deals with the remarkably widespread interest in Arabic in seventeenth-century England among Biblical scholars and theologians, natural philosophers and Fellows of the Royal Society, and others. It led to the institutionalisation of Arabic studies at Oxford and Cambridge Universities where Arabic chairs were set up, and immense manuscript collections were established and utilised. Fourteen historians examine the extent and sources of this Arabic interest in areas ranging from religion, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, philology, and alchemy to botany. Arabic is shown to have been a significant component of the rise of Protestant intellectual tradition and the evolution of secular scholarship at universities.

Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to explain how, in the face of increasing religious authoritarianism in medieval Islamic civilization, some Muslim thinkers continued to pursue essentially humanistic, rational, and scientific discourses in the quest for knowledge, meaning, and values. Drawing on a wide range of Islamic writings, from love poetry to history to philosophical theology, Goodman shows that medieval Islam was open to individualism, occasional secularism, skepticism, even liberalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Religious Education Creatively offers a brand new approach for the primary classroom and is crammed full of innovative ideas for bringing the teaching of RE to life. It helps teachers understand what constitutes a healthy curriculum that will encourage children to appreciate and understand different belief systems. Perhaps most importantly, it also challenges teachers to understand RE as a transformatory subject that offers children the tools to be discerning, to work out their own beliefs and answer puzzling questions. Underpinned by the latest research and theory and with contemporary, cutting-edge practice at the forefront, expert authors emphasise creative thinking strategies and teaching creatively. Key topics explored include: What is creative teaching and learning? Why is it important to teach creatively and teach for creativity? What is Religious Education? Why is it important for children to learn ‘about’ and ‘from’ religion? How can you teach non-biased RE creatively as a discrete subject and integrate it with other curriculum areas? Teaching Religious Education Creatively is for all teachers who want to learn more about innovative teaching and learning in RE in order to improve understanding and enjoyment and transform their own as well as their pupil’s lives.
