This book was released on 2023-01-08 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this life, man never considers why he has been given life, universal facilities, health, wealth, family, sources, and power, with no control of death, losses, pains, mental sufferings, etc. Under the scientific and technology boom, human life pattern is changing to such an extent that social, marital and family bonds have degraded and money has become the life goal. The sensitive bonds such as purity in love, sincerity, marriage, and innocent children seem to be at the mercy of circumstances without meeting the psychosocial spiritual needs. So, insecurity, depression, anxiety, and various psycho-social ailments have become a part of this modern capitalist society. The moral-ethical discipline of pure Divinity seems to be sole solution to apply moderate life with logic, objective application of the rules of nature, and the revealed objective knowledge of the Creator (knows better than His creature's wisdom) to meet the present global issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My goal is to introduce logical and scientific results and analysis of the observation of the deteriorated state of the Muslim Ummah, which has been dependant over semi-educated, non-Arabic speaking Imams/Mullahs presenting Islam with personal agendas and misinterpretation of the Qur'an due to a foreign language or lack of insight to find solutions to all human issues presented by the Creator for His beloved creature. My sole reference in all the presentation is only the Qur'an to unite the Muslims who have split into various sectarian, political and social divisions through issues like terrorism, Bidaha, misconceptions over human and women's rights, and power struggles, under one umbrella of the Ummah based on One God, one Last Prophet (Muhammad PBUH) with one Holy Book (the Qur'an) for guidance in individual affairs and social justification. Outdated preaching practices (with projection of fear of punishment), mishandling of adolescent anxieties and concerns, intolerant attitudes, and indulging in rituals instead of religious obligations have confused the laypersons and those ignorant of Islam about the original Islmaic intention presented in the Qur'an. I have presented the data for all English-speaking populations settled globally, with logic and observation on scientific tools, at the layperson's mental level to answer the misunderstandings or objection about Islam and the Qur'an. This present publication is a solution to meet this noble mission of Allah for preaching His message to the derailed population, particularly among the Muslims.

This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a professor and psychotherapist, I have found that the current Western research is not only subjective and a creation of only the past 125 years ago, it is culturally biased and of limited human personal experiences. Therefore, I have challenged these aspects by narrating the rational, objective and universal fundamental knowledge provided 1,430 years ago by the Creator that comes in action after death in an accountability process without individual discrimination (for example, please see Chapter 1-I). My most difficult task was to pinpoint the causes and solutions of human sufferings and depict the mental health principles presented in the Qur'an 1,430 years ago that turned the ignorant and arrogant tribal Arab people into the most civilized, model nation of the world. They turned out to be leaders in various faculties of science, technology and social sciences. I have not only presented the analysis but also the solutions for its application in daily life affairs (please see Chapter 9-I). My sole mission is to provide logical and authentic knowledge of the Qur'an throughout the world for creating insight among laypeople that the Creator knows better about His human being (a deputy and the most desired creature on earth) who gets derailed, becomes extremist and arrogant under worldly persuasions, and forgets the ultimate end of life. The solutions and guidelines to pass a moderate, purposeful life are available but one has to open up, understand and act on the given directions. I believe that my contribution in these books is the first time that APA-standardized tools have been applied, along with direct references to the Qur'an, for the adolescents, truth-seekers, and psychologists. I think at this age level, I must contribute all my energy to pass on this message to everyone.

Download or read book Psychological Foundation of the Qur an written by Muhammad Shoaib Shahid and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the need for religion for guidance to promote moral ethical values under the concept of a sole Creator has been established by all the followers of the Holy Books. The Qur'an, which is a continuation as a reformed authentic book, has been either ignored to be comprehended with its meanings or misinterpreted for personal motives by its preachers. Therefore, due to the ignorance of the Qur'anic Abrahamic monotheist concept, various sects, extreme groups, and confrontations have been triggered among the Muslims and rival religious groups. As the present century is based on science and technology, intellectuals and truth seekers judge religious values from logical and scientific perspectives. It is a dire necessity in the present era to present Divine knowledge with fundamental concepts and clear misconceptions about Islam with reasoning to attract adolescents and the ignorant toward peace through the Qur'anic treasure of knowledge. Therefore, my presentation of the book, based on these criteria, is about the psychology of religion, basic concepts, and historical aspects for revealing Divine guidance through the Qur'an to Muhammad (PBUH) with his role as Prophet to address the various aspects of human nature. As a student of psychology with experience of observing human beings and current human destruction under religious disputes, I have tried to present all of this according to set scientific standards and tools. It has been written objectively in simple English narration with sole reference to the Qur'an to create insight among laypeople, particularly the adolescents (new generation), towards peace, unity and a balanced life pattern leading to human respect and tolerance in an emerging capitalist society.

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Literature and Culture in the New World Order written by Washima Che Dan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteen chapters in this volume explore both new and tested theoretical perspectives on literature and culture at large; this multiplicity of discourses is a reflection of the implicit discontent in conforming to the New World Order, and a contestation against hierarchical relationships between countries, which inform the social, cultural and political climates of weaker nations. With the political and economic hegemony of stronger nations, weaker nations run the risk of being dominated, or at the very least, having their own national identity and sovereignty steeped in ambivalence in the face of a globalised culture. This volume hopes to bring together critical views in relation to the construction of cultural studies in the Western framework, the application of literary theory in the readings of vernacular literature, contestation of the mainstream scientistic methodology of cultural evaluation, the role of English literature in Asian cultures, the application of postcolonial theory in literature, literary ethics in relation to Islamic literature, as well as the Islamic and Western conceptions of democracy. More than half of the articles in this collection centre on Islam as a guiding principle, or as a context through which critical perspectives are made on literature and culture in today’s globalised world order. This inadvertent foregrounding of Islam reflects a continuing dialogue on and with Islam and its significant impact on existing academic discourses founded upon Western-style scholarship.

Download or read book Theology of Discontent written by Hamid Dabashi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of books and articles have been published, addressing one or another aspect of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Missing from this body of scholarship, however, has been a comprehensive analysis of the intellectual and ideological cornerstones of one of the most dramatic revolutions in our time. In this remarkable volume, Hamid Dabashi brings together, in a sustained and engagingly written narrative, the leading revolutionaries who have shaped the ideological disposition of this cataclysmic event. Dabashi has spent over ten years studying the writings, in their original Persian and Arabic, of the most influential Iranian clerics and thinkers.Examining the revolutionary sentiments and ideas of such figures as Jalal Al-e Ahmad, Ali Sharicati, Morteza Motahhari, Sayyad Abolhasan Bani-Sadr, and finally the Ayatollah Khomeini, the work also analyzes the larger historical and theoretical implications of any construction of the Islamic Ideology. Carefully located in the social and intellectual context of the four decades preceding the 1979 revolution, Theology of Discontent is the definitive treatment of the ideological foundations of the Islamic Revolution, with particular attention to the larger, more enduring ramifications of this revolution for radical Islamic revivalism in the entire Muslim world.This volume will be of interest to Islamicists, Middle East historians and specialists, as well as scholars and students of liberation theologies, comparative religious revolutions, and mass collective behavior. Bruce Lawrence of Duke University calls this volume a superb and unprecedented study.... In brilliant figural strokes, he arrays EuroAmerican sociological theory as the crucial backdrop of a deeper understanding of contemporary Iranian history.

Download or read book Books in Brief Epistemological Integration written by Fathi Hasan Malkawi and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a program which seeks to construct an intellectual framework for Islamic methodology with a view to realizing practical training in the thoughtful investigation of issues related to knowledge in various fields. The book’s title affirms the distinctive types of integration that characterize Islamic methodology, including integration of sources, means, and schools of thought, as well as existing realities with desired ideals etc. This is fully consistent with human nature, as variety is fundamental to the functions people perform and skills they master. The work essentially makes the case that fundamental to any Muslim recovery is laying the foundations of sound thinking and values that integrate the two main sources of knowledge: Revelation and Reality (that is the created worlds both physical, societal and psychological) under the umbrella of Tawhid. This concept of integration implies using both human theoretical conceptualization and practical experimental investigation whilst also affirming the need to apply human capabilities in understanding the divine text, and acquiring sound knowledge of the physical world in terms of its resources, as well as accumulated past and present human experiences. The aim being to vitalize human potential and creativity.

Download or read book Militarization and the Global Rise of Paramilitary Culture written by Brad West and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book demonstrates a new multidimensional comprehension of the relationship between war, the military and civil society by exploring the global rise of paramilitary culture. Moving beyond binary understandings that inform the militarization of culture thesis and examining various national and cultural contexts, the collection outlines ways in which a process of paramilitarization is shaping the world through the promotion of new warrior archetypes. It is argued that while the paramilitary hero is associated with military themes, their character is in tension with the central principals of modern military organization, something that often challenges the state’s perceived monopoly on violence. As such paramilitization has profound implications for institutional military identity, the influence of paramilitary organizations and broadly how organised violence is popularly understood

Download or read book Towards an Islamic Theory of International Relations written by AbdulHamid AbuSulayman and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 1993 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent events have demonstrated that one of the most important fields of study in this century is world order. The contribution of this book to this field is that it attempts to lay the intellectual foundations for a reconsideration of what constitutes a truly Islamic world order. Perhaps the words of the late Professor Ismail al-Faruqi, in his scholarly introduction to this work, best describes the landmarks of such an order; "The world order of Islam would confer upon every person by virtue of birth and humanity, the ultimate right and honor, namely, the capacity to think and make up one's mind as to which millah one wishes to belong and hence, by which law one desires to order one's life and that of one's dependents."In dealing with his subject, the author has had to return to the sources of Islam, the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and develop a methodology for dealing with them in a creative and practicable manner. In doing so, he examines the methodology developed by the early generations of Muslim scholars and finds it limited by its legalistic approach. Thus, much of the value of his work lies in its discussion of methodology and in the social sciences in general, by means of methodology developed from a purely Islamic perspective.Originally submitted as a doctoral dissertation, and then revised for its publication in 1987 as "The Islamic Theory of International Relations", this edition, retitled "Towards an Islamic Theory of International Relations", has undergone serious editorial revision, and may now be seen to convey the author's pioneering ideas in a way that befits their importance.
