Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Muhammadanism: Being Outlines of the Religious System of Islam The favourable reception which has been ao corded to the first edition of these outlines of the Muhammadan system has encouraged me to put forth a revised and enlarged edition. I am glad of the opportunity; for, the first edition contained numerous errors, consequent upon my bringing it out during a short and hurried Visit to England, in the summer of 1875.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Speeches Table-Talk of the Prophet Mohammad: Chosen and Translated, With Introduction and Notes Mohammad and his creed as surely and certainly as he can judge of errors in ordinary education and scholarship. I do not wish to mention the Koran by name more than can be helped, for I have observed that the word has a deterrent effect upon readers who like their literary food light and easy of digestion. It cannot, however, be disguised that a great deal of this book consists of the Koran, and it may therefore be as well to explain away as far as possible the prejudice which the ill-fated name is apt to excite. It is not easy to say for how much of this prejudice the standard English translator is responsible. The patient and meritorious George Sale put the Koran into tangled English and heavy quarto, - people read quartos then and did not call them e'dz'tz'om n'a [wafer - his version then appeared in a clumsy octavo, with most undesirable type and paper; finally it has come out in a cheap edition, of which it need only be said that utility rather than taste has been consulted. One can hardly blame any one for refusing to look even at the outsides of these volumes. And the inside, - not the mere out ward inside, if I may so say, the type and paper.

Download or read book The Religious Orders of Islám (Classic Reprint) written by Canon Sell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Orders of Islám The two most active elements in Muslim lands in the opposition to social, political, and religious reforms and to the advance of modern civilization are the 'ulama, the men who may be said to form the lawyers and the clergy of Islam, and the various Orders of Darweshes. The 'ulama speak in the name of the sacred Law, eternal, unchange able. The Darweshes look upon Islam as a vast theocracy, in which their spiritual leaders are the true guides. It is conceivable that the 'ulama might be brought to see that, if some concessions would save a Muslim State from ruin or extine tion, it might be to their advantage to make them. The Darwesh treats with scorn any attempt at compromise, and looks upon a Muslim govern ment, which in the least departs from the laws and practices of the early Khalifate, as disloyal to the great principle that Islam is a theocracy.
