This provides a comprehensive reading that takes the reader on an experiential ride to feel the magic of Rasulullah's journey. In short, it is very inspiring; exhilarating to the spiritual core. Praise be to Allah Who chose His praiseworth servant Muhammad (saw) for the Message, distinguished him with the night journey on the lightening-mount Buraq, and caused him to ascend the ladders of perfection to the high heavens to show him of the greatest signs of his Lord. He raised him until he reached the Lote-tree of the Farthest Boundary where ends the science of every Messenger-Prophet and every Angel Brought Near, where lies the Garden of Retreat, to the point that he heard the sound of the pens that write what has befallen and what is to befall.
Download or read book The Prophet s Ascension written by Christiane J. Gruber and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tales of the mi'raj describe the prophet Muhammad's journey through the heavens, his encounters with prophets and angels, and his visit to heaven and hell. The tales are among Islam's most popular, appearing in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish literature, and in later adaptations throughout the Muslim world. Often serving as narratives designed to promote the worldview of particular Muslim groups, the tales were also a means for communities to construct rules of normative behavior and ritual practices, and were used to assert the superiority of Islam over other religions. The essays in this collection discuss the formation of this narrative, the mi'raj as a missionary text, its various adaptations, its application to esoteric thought, and its use in performance and ritual. -- Book jacket.

Download or read book The Journey of a Prophet written by Dean Botha and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My purpose in writing this book is more than just sharing my journey and call to be a prophet, trained by the Holy Spirit to operate in this gift. It is even more than sharing with others God may want to accelerate into the gift's operation. My strongest desire is to de-mystify the functioning of the prophetic gift and calling. My journey has been without mentorship and the preparation long. I believe others should have these lessons imparted to them, so they may be nurtured and brought into their fullness of their calling for the sake of the body of Christ, coming into full maturity and the stature of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).It is my hope that this book will assist those who desire the gift of prophecy, and those who are certain God has called them as prophets. It is my firm conviction that the church cannot mature and experience the full measure of Christ until we release all five ministry gifts into the body.This work is dedicated to the prophets, called of God to train and equip the children of God's kingdom to function in the realms of revelation. We must learn how to decipher and understand revelation, discern God's intent and will, and train our senses.

Download or read book People of the Book written by Craig Considine and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christians that lived around the Arabian Peninsula during Muhammad’s lifetime are shrouded in mystery. Some of the stories of the Prophet’s interactions with them are based on legends and myths, while others are more authentic and plausible. But who exactly were these Christians? Why did Muhammad interact with them as he reportedly did? And what lessons can today’s Christians and Muslims learn from these encounters? Scholar Craig Considine, one of the most powerful global voices speaking in admiration of the prophet of Islam, provides answers to these questions. Through a careful study of works by historians and theologians, he highlights an idea central to Muhammad’s vision: an inclusive Ummah, or Muslim nation, rooted in citizenship rights, interfaith dialogue, and freedom of conscience, religion and speech. In this unprecedented sociological analysis of one of history’s most influential human beings, Considine offers groundbreaking insight that could redefine Christian and Muslim relations.

Relying on the oldest existing texts from authentic sources and relevant maps to resurrect the layout and geography of Makkah as it was during the lifetime of Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) (570-632 AD), the book's many exclusive maps and images provide a visual representation of the Holy City that remained seemingly impossible prior to this work.

With special sections dedicated to the history of Makkah's clans and important landmarks like the Kaʿbah, Maqām Ibrāhīm, and the Prophet's homes, the book's 26 images also include original, full-color maps of Makkah's mountains, valleys, homes, wells, pathways, and marketplaces, along with detailed descriptions of each landmark and numerous insights into the history, politics, and personalities of Makkah during a crucial period, making this volume an essential companion to anyone with an interest in the Prophet's biography and the history of Islam.
Download or read book God is Beautiful written by Navid Kermani and published by Polity. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The melodious recitation of the Quran is a fundamental aesthetic experience for Muslims, and the start of a compelling journey of ideas. In this important new book, the prominent German writer and Islamic scholar Navid Kermani considers the manner in which the Quran has been perceived, apprehended and experienced by its recipients from the time of the Prophet to the present day. Drawing on a wide range of Muslim sources, from historians, theologians and philosophers to mystics and literary scholars, Kermani provides a close reading of the nature of this powerful text. He proceeds to analyze ancient and modern testimonies about the impact of Quranic language from a variety of angles. Although people have always reflected on the reception of texts, images and sounds that they find beautiful or moving, Kermani explains that Islam provides a particularly striking example of the close correlation, grounded in a common origin, between art and religion, revelation and poetry, and religious and aesthetic experience. This major new book will enhance the dialogue between Islam and the West and will appeal to students and scholars of Islam and comparative religion, as well as to a wider readership interested in Islam and the Quran.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the reader that these prophets belong to one family and one civilization that originated in the Arabian Peninsula.

We find the answers of many questions in the names of the prophets and the areas of their travels, in the Torah, and in the Quran. Most of these answers have not been revealed before so clearly. This is to show people that their Lord is one and that their Father is one and that their tongue (their original language) is one too, no matter how different the dialects became on earth in our modern time.
