Concepts of Islam is firstly an honest and sincere effort to show the beauty and grandeur of what has been given to mankind in both the universal message that Muhammad received in the form of divine revelation-The Holy Quran, and the way that the prophet Muhammad lived his personal lifehis Sunni. It is to be noted that in no way could one manuscript capture all of the beauty and splendor of the Glorious Quran, or the repertory life of the prophet Muhammad.

Our Last Best Chance

A Story of War and Peace

By: King Abdullah II of Jordan

A newsbreaking memoir that tackles head-on the toughest challenge in the world today. When a dying King Hussein shocked the world by picking his son rather than his brother, the longtime crown prince, to be the next king of Jordan, no one was more surprised than the young head of Special Operations, who discovered his life was in for a major upheaval. This is the inspirational story of a young prince who went to boarding school in America and military academy in Britain and grew up believing he would be a soldier. Back home, he hunted down terrorists and modernized Jordan's Special Forces. Then, suddenly, he found himself king. Together with his wife, Queen Rania, he transformed what it meant to be a monarch, going undercover to escape the bubble of the court while she became the Muslim world's most passionate advocate of women's rights. In this exceptionally candid memoir, King Abdullah tackles the single toughest issue he faces head-on- how to solve the Israeli-Palestinian standoff- and reveals himself to be an invaluable intermediary between America and the Arab world. He writes about the impact of the Iraq war on his neighborhood and how best to tackle Iran's nuclear ambitions. Why would a sitting head of state choose to write about the most explosive issues he faces? King Abdullah does so now because he believes we face a moment of truth: a last chance for peace in the Middle East. The prize is enormous, the cost of failure far greater than we dare imagine.

Human Rights and Islam

An Introduction to Key Debates between Islamic Law and International Human Rights Law

By: Abdullah Saeed

Is there a basis for human rights in Islam? Beginning with an exploration of what rights are and how the human rights discourse developed, Abdullah Saeed explores the resources that exist within Islamic tradition. He looks at those that are compatible with international human rights law and can be garnered to promote and protect human rights in Muslim-majority states. A number of rights are given specific focus, including the rights of women and children, freedom of expression and religion, as well as jihad and the laws of war. Human Rights and Islam emphasises the need for Muslims to rethink problematic areas of Islamic thought that are difficult to reconcile with contemporary conceptions of human rights.

Answering the Call

Popular Islamic Activism in Sadat's Egypt

By: Abdullah A. Al-Arian

When revolutionary hero Gamal Abdel Nasser dismantled and suppressed Egypt's largest social movement organization during the 1950s, few could have imagined that the Muslim Brotherhood would not only reemerge, but could one day compete for the presidency in the nation's first ever democratic election. While there is no shortage of analyses of the Muslim Brotherhood's recent political successes and failures, no study has investigated the organization's triumphant return from the dustbin of history. Answering the Call examines the means by which the Muslim Brotherhood was reconstituted during Anwar al-Sadat's presidency. Through analysis of structural, ideological, and social developments during this period in the history of the Islamic movement, a more accurate picture of the so-called "Islamic resurgence" develops-one that represents the rebirth of an old idea in a new setting. The Muslim Brotherhood's success in rebuilding its organization rested in large part on its ability to attract a new generation of Islamic activists that had come to transform Egypt's colleges and universities into a hub for religious contention against the state. Led by groups such as al-Gama'ah al-Islamiyyah (The Islamic Society), the student movement exhibited a dynamic and vibrant culture of activism that found inspiration in a multitude of intellectual and organizational sources, of which the Muslim Brotherhood was only one. By the close of the 1970s, however, internal divisions over ideology and strategy led to the rise of factionalism within the student movement. A majority of student leaders opted to expand the scope of their activist mission by joining the Muslim Brotherhood, rejuvenating the struggling organization, and launching a new phase in its history. Answering the Call is an original study of the history of this dynamic and vibrant period of modern Egyptian history, giving readers a fresh understanding of one of Egypt's most pivotal eras.

Bosnian: The Qur’an and Normative Religious Pluralism: A Thematic Study of the Qur’an ‎

By: Arif Kemil Abdullah

In a multi-faith world, Islam is widely regarded as dogmatic and exclusivist. Yet in the Qur’an we ‎have a great and worthy example of how to live in diversity, of powerful scriptural tenets that lend ‎themselves precisely to engagement with those of other faiths. As such Islam has much to add to ‎the debate on Religious Pluralism. For Muslims the issue is a delicate one. Aside from being tolerant ‎and respectful of other faiths, advocating freedom of faith, and peaceful coexistence for all ‎humanity, Muslims have to intellectually engage on matters of religious truth whilst defending the ‎validity of their own Islamic tenets. This study is focused on the Qur’anic text. It explores the ‎Qur’anic conception of normative religious pluralism with a view to providing answers to questions ‎such as whether the Qur’an itself regards normative religious pluralism as a value system or simply ‎a method through which the Qur’anic world view can be actualized. In doing so the author corrects ‎some highly controversial misquoted, mistranslated, and/or quoted out of context verses of the ‎Qur’an, including the so-called verse of the sword and the perception of not taking non-Muslims as ‎friends. In reality, the Qur’an calls for freedom of faith and peaceful coexistence, but condemns ‎oppression, religious persecution, and those who initiate hostilities. In this way it not only invokes ‎human dignity, but restores it when it is violated.‎

Reading the Qur'an in the Twenty-First Century

A Contextualist Approach

By: Abdullah Saeed

Reading the Qur’an in the Twenty-First Century considers the development of Qur’anic interpretation and highlights modern debates around new approaches to interpretation. It explores how Muslims from various theological, legal, socio-political and philosophical backgrounds think about the meaning and relevance of the Qur’an, and how their ideas apply in the contemporary world. The book: reflects on one of the most dominant approaches to interpretation in the pre-modern period, textualism, and the reaction to that in Muslim feminist readings of the Qur’an today. covers issues such as identifying the hierarchical nature of Qur’anic values, the criteria for the use of hadith in interpretation, fluidity of meaning and ways of ensuring a degree of stability in interpretation. examines key Qur'anic passages and compares pre-modern and modern interpretations to show the evolving nature of interpretation. Examples discussed include: the authority of men over women, the death of Jesus, shura and democracy, and riba and interest. Abdullah Saeed provides a practical guide for interpretation and presents the principal ideas of a contextualist approach, which situates the original message of the Qur’an in its wider social, political, cultural, economic and intellectual context. He advocates a more flexible method of interpretation that gives due recognition to earlier interpretations of the Qur’an while also being aware of changing conditions and the need to approach the Qur’an afresh today.

The Weary Generations

By: Abdullah Hussein

Published in 1963, before Paul Scott's Raj Quartet and Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Abdullah Hussein's Udaas Naslein was an instant bestseller. Now beyond its fortieth edition, it has never been out of print. Hussein leads us into a story of love and marriage between two people from starkly different social backgrounds, which also mirrors the uneasy 'marriage' between the British and their empire - both ultimately ending in estrangement. Naim, the son of a peasant, marries Azra, the daughter of a rich landowner, and their union is doomed from the start. Fighting for the British during the First World War, he loses an arm. Back home, and frustrated with the the subjugation of his countrymen under the Raj and aligns himself with the opposition. His ideals are swept away after Independence in 1947 when he realizes that, as Muslims, his family is no longer safe in their home and that they must migrate to the newly created Pakistan. An ambitious saga of the widespread disillusionment and social upheavals that led to the creation of Pakistan and and Bangladesh, The Weary Generations is a must-read for those who want to comprehend the historical origins of the tensions in the Indian subcontinent.
