Voice of an Exile

Reflections on Islam

By: Nasr Abu Zaid,Esther Ruth Nelson

In 1995 Ayman al-Zawahiri, a prominent terrorist figure recently associated with Al Queda and al-Jihad, issued a bounty against Dr. Nasr Abu Zaid, a respected Islamic scholar at Cairo University. What was Zaid's offense? Arguing that Islam's holy texts should be interpreted in the historical and linguistic context of their time, and that new interpretations should account for social change. His controversial claim that the Qur'an be interpreted metaphorically rather than literally further enraged fundamentalists. Labeled an apostate by the Cairo court of appeals, his life was threatened and he was forced to flee to the Netherlands with his wife. A professor of Arabic and Islamic studies at Leiden University in his adopted country, this progressive Islamic scholar insists that change is still possible and that new understandings of Islam can be accepted and advanced. Forgoing claims that Islam is a violent religion, Zaid shows us that, above all, justice and obedience lies at the heart of the Qur'an. At the outset of this book, we find Zaid growing up in Quhafa, a village in northern Egypt. Islam gives meaning and definition to his life. As he matures, we see him sorting through Egypt's various political developments and upheavals. Zaid carefully weaves such developments into the events of his own life—his father's death, raising his younger siblings, attending Cairo University, his study abroad, his marriages, the events leading to his exile, and his visit to Egypt after a seven-year absence. Through it all, we see him advancing in his academic career and applying new skills to his study and interpretation of the Qur'an. He wrestles with subjects such as polygamy, wife beating, inheritance, and the practice of usury in Islamic cultures. He asserts and illustrates that Islam must be separate from the State in order to protect the religion from political manipulation. Zaid's personal story and academic pursuits, reflecting the social reality of the broader culture, offer new perspectives on Islam and provide hope to Muslims who feel their religion has been misrepresented and misunderstood.

The Way to Baghdad

Day 18 of the War

By: Zaid Mahir

The story begins in the historical city of Samarra, where Zaid Mahir, the narrator, says goodbye to his 83-year-old father and heads to Baghdad, where he left his wife and daughter of 15 months. The familiar route inspires the narrators reminiscences and verse comforts he was used to in his constant travel between the two cities. But the succession of memories, cast against the backdrop of serene countryside, is interrupted, and the peace and safety of Zaid and his driver are challenged, when an American marine force intercepts and occupies the highway. Baghdad is still twenty kilometers away. Nearly taken captive by the new arrivals, he manages to communicate well enough in English to convince the soldiers he should be allowed to continue his journey. Though danger looms, the memory of his daughters recent birthday party, and her favorite teddy bear, gives him the drive he needs to keep trying to get home. By the time he is re-united with his family, Baghdad has turned into a ghostly city waiting for redemption in the dark.

Linking Up and Reaching Out in Bangladesh

Information and Communications Technology for Microfinance

By: Henry K. Bagazonzya,Zaid Safdar,A.K.M. Abdullah,Cecile Thioro Niang,Aneeka Rahman

The microfinance sector in Bangladesh has matured rapidly in the past 30 years and now boasts the largest number of clients in the entire world. Despite these successes, the day-to-day operations of most microcredit institutions in Bangladesh are done manually. The introduction of a centralized information and communications technology (ICT) platform in the microfinance sector will provide further cost savings by streamlining data so that errors, omissions, and duplications (client overlap) are eliminated. Moreover, the introduction of a centralized ICT platform will help to ensure transparency through the standardization of information exchange and accounting mechanisms, increase outreach to rural areas, and integrate the largely informal microfinance sector with the formal financial system. 'Linking Up and Reaching Out in Bangladesh' shows how the establishment of a centralized microfinance platform would revolutionize the country s microfinance sector. This volume will be a useful guide for practitioners, policy makers, and microfinance institutions around the world.

Future Learning Vision F.L.V

Digitization of curricula in Arab universities

By: Zaid Ahmad Younis,دار اليازوري العلمية

In an era that witnessed the development of technology, and nothing remains the same, it is time to add a new approach and new methods to the teaching mechanism of university courses. Here you will find a project that is likely to be implemented with Google, which is concerned with delivering the paper book prescribed to each student in his course at every university, in the form of an electronic book and in an effective practical way, and this does not negate the presence of the student‘s paper book on the contrary. The electronic book is at the expense of the paper book. Most studies indicate that students prefer the electronic book over the paper book for several reasons, including cost, weight, and keeping pace with technological development. As for the rest of the groups, and to a greater extent, they prefer the paper book for psychological purposes first, and then because of their needs for tangible dealing with the book. Finally, we do not deny that both types are a source of knowledge and a summary of what scientists and thinkers came up with, and they are the main source for the progress of nations.
