Download or read book ISLAM'S RENEWAL written by DEREK. HOPWOOD and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book considers some of the solutions proposed by Muslim activists and thinkers in their attempts to renew (tajdid) their ways of life and thought in accord with the demands of the age in which they lived. The two ways of reacting are studied – the movements led by men of action and inspiration, and the thoughts of quietist scholars who laid greater emphasis on calm continuity. These two streams have often collided and particularly so in the contemporary age of greater violence. Other related problems are also considered: how a non-Muslim should regard the religion of the ‘other’; the ways modernization have been dealt with; and the two root causes of Muslim ‘rage’ today – the invasions of the West and the failure to reach an equitable solution to the problem of Palestine. Building on the author’s sixty-year experience researching the history of Islam, the book will appeal to students and scholars across the fields of Islamic studies, religious history and Middle Eastern politics.
Book Synopsis The Covenant and the Dar Es Salaam by : Munawar Sabir
Download or read book The Covenant and the Dar Es Salaam written by Munawar Sabir and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dar es Salaam is the Abode of Peace, which Allah has promised to His righteous servants who follow the Straight Path of Allah. Dar es Salaam is the home of the Ummah, which extends in the East from the Muslim populations of the Philippines to the Atlantic coast of Africa and in the North its domains extend from the Muslim population of Russia to those of Indonesia to the South. Every place with a majority of Muslims constitutes the domain of Islam, the Abode of Peace. Believers within and outside the domain of Islam, have the right to the citizenship of the Dar es Salaam, and shall enjoy all the benefits and the obligations that go with such citizenship. Every home and every place of worship of Believers everywhere on earth constitute a piece of the Dar es Salaam. There is neither a border nor frontiers in the Dar es Salaam. Through obedience of Covenant of Allah, the Ummah is at this point of time ready to roll over artificial borders and barriers dividing the Dar es Salaam and to assume its executive sovereignty over the land of Islam. The Ummah is prepared to establish the Covenant of Allah in the governance of its communities through peace, justice, consultation and consensus of the community. The greatest miracle of Islam is the Revelation and the preservation of the Divine Word, the Qur'an. The next greatest miracle is survival, and continuing expansion of the Ummah, through the centuries of tyrannical and turbulent Sultanic and colonial rule. In spite of the alien systems of governments of sultans and dictators, founded on self-aggrandizement and personal power, the common people and the community of Islam have continued to receive nurturing and spiritual enlightenment, through love of Allah and His Blessed Nabi. Holy men, sages, Sufi, and other humble religious teachers have continued to nurture the love of Allah in the heart of the people. They sought to teach and preach Taqwa of Allah and the knowledge of Allah in humility and sincerity. Insignificant raindrops fall on a parched land singly and disappear forever, the same rain drops in strength coalesce to form little streams, then little rivulets, then join together to become mighty rivers, flowing further dropping into powerful and majestic waterfalls, yet again, joining together with other rivers, lakes, and yet more hill torrents to end up in mighty oceans, ever increasing in size, in length, in depth, in power, yet at all times obedient to the will of Allah. An insignificant human without faith is like a drop of water on parched land. Yet the same human, a Believer strengthened by his Covenant with Allah joins others with the Covenant, to form a little community, that in unity with other Believers, in communion with Allah, in unity become the Ummah of the Believers around the world, a powerful united people, witness over other nations with Allah and His Prophet witness over them. At the turn of the twenty- first century there are more Believers than ever in the history of mankind. These Believers of Allah are in Islam and in other religions. It is the obligation of every Muslim to commune with every Believer of Allah in the brotherhood of the people of Haqq.

Book Synopsis Reasoning with God by : Khaled Abou El Fadl
Download or read book Reasoning with God written by Khaled Abou El Fadl and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of recent concern over Shari’ah, such as proposed laws to prohibit it in the United States and conflict over the role it should play in the new Egyptian constitution, many people are confused about the meaning of Shari‘ah in Islam and its role in the world today. In Reasoning with God, renowned Islamic scholar Khaled Abou El Fadl explains not only what Shari‘ah really means, but also the way it can revitalize and reengage contemporary Islam. After a prologue that provides an essential overview of Shari‘ah, Abou El Fadl explores the moral trajectory of Islam in today’s world. Weaving powerful personal stories with broader global examples, he shows the ways that some interpretations of Islam today have undermined its potential in peace and love. Rather than simply outlining challenges, however, the author provides constructive suggestions about how Muslims can reengage the ethical tradition of their faith through Shari‘ah. As the world’s second largest religion, Islam remains an important force on the global stage. Reasoning with God takes readers—both Muslim and non-Muslim—beyond superficial understandings of Shari‘ah to a deeper understanding of its meaning and potential.
Book Synopsis Understanding the Qurʾanic Miracle Stories in the Modern Age by : Isra Yazicioglu
Download or read book Understanding the Qurʾanic Miracle Stories in the Modern Age written by Isra Yazicioglu and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the Qurʾanic Miracle Stories in the Modern Age explores the ways in which meaningful implications have been drawn from stories of miracles in the Qurʾan. Isra Yazicioglu describes the fascinating medieval Muslim debate over miracles and connects its insights with early and late modern turning points in Western thought and with contemporary Qurʾanic interpretation. Building on an apparent tension within the Qurʾan and analyzing crucial cases of classical and modern Muslim engagement with these miracle stories, she illustrates how an apparent site of conflict between faith and reason, or revelation and science, can lead to fruitful exchange. A distinctive contribution to a new trend in Qurʾanic studies, this volume reveals the presence of insightful Qurʾanic interpretation outside of the traditional line-by-line commentary genre, engaging with the works of Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, and Said Nursi. Scholars of Islam, philosophy, and the intersection of science and religion will especially want to engage with Yazicioglu’s study.

Book Synopsis Ijtihad and Renewal by : Said Shabbar
Download or read book Ijtihad and Renewal written by Said Shabbar and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early centuries of Islam the response of Muslims to problem-solving the various issues and challenges that faced their rapidly expanding community was to use intelligence and independent reasoning based on the Qur’an and Sunnah to address them. This practice is known as ijtihad. As the centuries wore on however the gates of ijtihad were generally closed in favor of following existing rulings developed by scholars by way of analogy. And as reason and intellect, now held captive to madhhabs (schools of thought) and earlier scholarly opinion stagnated, so did the Muslim world. Ijtihad and Renewal is an analysis of ijtihad and the role it can play for a positive Muslim revival in the modern world, a revival based on society-wide economic and educational reform and development. It makes the case that the grafting of solutions rooted in the past onto the complex and unique realities of our own age, in a one-size-fits-all perspective, has paralysed the vitality of Muslim thought, and confused its sense of direction, and that to revive the Muslim world from its centuries of decline and slumber we need to revive the practice of ijtihad. Focusing attention on thinking through solutions for ourselves based on our own times and context, using the Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as the wisdom and experience of the past distilled from these, as tools in this endeavor whilst not the only solution, is certainly a viable and powerful one.

Book Synopsis Tradition Witnessing the Modern Age by : M. Enes Ergene
Download or read book Tradition Witnessing the Modern Age written by M. Enes Ergene and published by Tughra Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western perceptions of the East have been shaped by and large within the framework Western social sciences have drawn. The dress sewn for the Western context did not fit the Muslim world and social movements therein; however, social analysts work on the same model in their efforts to understand the East. The Gulen movement, which flourished first in the "East" but now spread across a hundred countries, is not immune from such a bias. This book on the Gulen movement is an effort to deconstruct this bias and the author points to a need for a comprehensive look on Muslim social movements. The author scholarly treats the Gulen movement in cultural, sociological, and religious standpoints, while laying out the main concepts he finds relevant with the movement's far-reaching spread across the world. As concisely phrased in the title, the Gulen case is an interesting encounter of the "tradition" and "modernity" both in the person of Fethullah Gulen and in the education and dialogue initiatives of the movement. The author sees in Gulen an embodiment of wisdom that peacefully harmonizes the benefits of the modern age and the heritage of a long past. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Reopening Muslim Minds by : Mustafa Akyol
Download or read book Reopening Muslim Minds written by Mustafa Akyol and published by St. Martin's Essentials. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating journey into Islam's diverse history of ideas, making an argument for an "Islamic Enlightenment" today In Reopening Muslim Minds, Mustafa Akyol, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and opinion writer for The New York Times, both diagnoses “the crisis of Islam” in the modern world, and offers a way forward. Diving deeply into Islamic theology, and also sharing lessons from his own life story, he reveals how Muslims lost the universalism that made them a great civilization in their earlier centuries. He especially demonstrates how values often associated with Western Enlightenment — freedom, reason, tolerance, and an appreciation of science — had Islamic counterparts, which sadly were cast aside in favor of more dogmatic views, often for political ends. Elucidating complex ideas with engaging prose and storytelling, Reopening Muslim Minds borrows lost visions from medieval Muslim thinkers such as Ibn Rushd (aka Averroes), to offer a new Muslim worldview on a range of sensitive issues: human rights, equality for women, freedom of religion, or freedom from religion. While frankly acknowledging the problems in the world of Islam today, Akyol offers a clear and hopeful vision for its future.

Book Synopsis The New Age in the Modern West by : Nicholas Campion
Download or read book The New Age in the Modern West written by Nicholas Campion and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Age culture is generally regarded as a modern manifestation of Western millenarianism - a concept built around the expectation of an imminent historical crisis followed by the inauguration of a golden age which occupies a key place in the history of Western ideas. The New Age in the Modern West argues that New Age culture is part of a family of ideas, including utopianism, which construct alternative futures and drive revolutionary change. Nicholas Campion traces New Age ideas back to ancient cosmology, and questions the concepts of the Enlightenment and the theory of progress. He considers the contributions of the key figures of the 18th century, the legacy of the astronomer Isaac Newton and the Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg, as well as the theosophist, H.P. Blavatsky, the psychologist, C.G. Jung, and the writer and artist, Jose Arguelles. He also pays particular attention to the beat writers of the 1950s, the counterculture of the 1960s, concepts of the Aquarian Age and prophecies of the end of the Maya Calendar in 2012. Lastly he examines neoconservatism as both a reaction against the 1960s and as a utopian phenomenon. The New Age in the Modern West is an important book for anyone interested in countercultural and revolutionary ideas in the modern West.
