Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spiritual Leader explains with copious evidence the views held by other religions too that the truth "La Ilaha Illallah", that being the lifeline of Tawheed and that there is no Ilah (creation) but Allah. He has thrown a challenge to anyone who can disprove this truth offering a handsome reward. Until now no one has come forward to take up his challenge. Allah is an arbitrary name and it does not point to something static or stationery. This name denotes something beyond time and space and the reach of human knowledge and has manifested as the whole universe. If one becomes aware of this truth, peace and tranquility will be eternal in his heart and mind.
Download or read book Holy Quran s Judgement Part 1 written by M.S.M Abdullah (Rah) and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five principles, namely the Quran; Hadith; Ijma; Kiyas and common sense makes and stabilizes the whole of Islam. I have observed that the writings and commentaries of a few who are ignorant or are not fully versed in the knowledge of the Quran and Hadith are taken as the root by a few, who by their writings, commentaries and orations are propagating ideas that are a distortion of and in complete variance with the religion of Islam and thus create "Bid`ah" amongst the public. To those who seek genuine and authentic ideas of the Quran and Hadith, these expositions have become stumbling blocks. Therefore, I seek to expostulate the basic facts and ideas with supporting evidences that constitute Islam that I gained by years of painstaking and difficult research. The style of writing in this book is much against the traditions and style adopted in normal book writing. It is not divided into chapters but mere orations; some ideas are repeated several times and that too in many different angles. I, therefore seek your indulgence and patience to read and understand and do not come to conclusions by just going through parts of the book. The contractual obligations between you the reader and me is that if you are a Mumin who fully believes in Allah and Rasool (Quran and Hadith) then study this book, if not do not lay hands on this book.

Download or read book Bridges Translation of the Ten Qira at of the Noble Qur an written by Fadel Soliman and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges' translation aims to help non-Arabic readers in pondering the Qur'an (tadabbor). The translators focused not only on translating what God meant to say, but also on translating how He spoke. There are three main new features in this translation that make it unique: 1. It is the first translation which includes the ten Qira'at (modes of recitation). The main text is written in accordance with the Qira'a of Asem, narrated by Hafs. Variations from that are presented in footnotes denoted by 'Q'. The translation presents around 30% of the variations of the Qira'at--those which affect the meaning. 2. It is the first translation that takes into consideration the Qur'anic phenomenon of grammatical shifts, whether in verb tenses, numbers, or pronouns. These are a great source of pondering for the reader. 3. To denote whether a pronoun like 'you' or an imperative verb like 'say' is plural, dual, or singular, the translators did not impose their understanding on the reader by adding text between brackets like (O Prophet) to denote singular form, or (O mankind) to denote plural form. Rather, this distinction was achieved by adding a superscript after pronouns and imperative verbs. For example: youpl is used for a plural pronoun, yousg for a singular pronoun, and youdl for a dual pronoun.

Download or read book Let there be no Compulsion in Religion Sura 2 256 written by Christine Schirrmacher and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christine Schirrmacher's postdoctoral thesis, for the first time one finds reviews of original voices coming from Islamic theology on the topic of religious freedom and apostasy. Arabic, English, French, and Urdu texts have been translated and analyzed and thus made accessible. There are basically three positions which are defended on falling away from the Islamic faith: Complete advocacy of religious freedom, the complete denial of religious freedom with a call for the immediate application of the death penalty for apostates, and the centrist position. The centrist position, however, which allows inner freedom of thought and warns against premature persecution, calls for the death penalty in the case of open apostasy (e.g., in the case of conversion to another faith). Within established Islamic theology, the latter approach is nowadays the most frequent point of view found. These three main positions on apostasy are introduced in this postdoctoral thesis by means of the publications of three influential 20th century theologians: Yusuf al-Qaradawi (b. 1926), Abdullah Saeed (b. 1960), and Abu l-A'la Maududi (1903-1979). They all have followings of many millions of people and have political influence at their disposal. The study explains why in many Muslim majority countries there is still today only very limited or sometimes no freedom of religion (in the sense of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948) for converts, critical intellectuals, artists and progressive Quranic studies specialists, journalists and secularists, agnostics and confessing atheists, enlightened thinkers, women's rights and human rights activists as well as adherents of non-recognized minorities.
Download or read book Understanding the Qur an written by Muhammad Abdel Haleem and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tenets of Islam cannot be grasped without a proper understanding of the Qur'an. In this important new introduction, Muhammad Haleem examines its recurrent themes - life and eternity, marriage and divorce, peace and war, water and nourishment - and for the first time sets these in the context of the Qur'an's linguistic style. Professor Haleem examines the background to the development of the surahs (chapters) and the ayahs (verses) and the construction of the Qur'an itself. He shows that popular conceptions of Islamic attitudes to women, marriage and divorce, war and society, differ radically from the true teachings of the Qur'an.

Book excerpt: It has been argued that Islam liberated Muslim women by granting them full rights as citizens.

Download or read book Political Thought in Islam written by Nelly Lahoud and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of political thought in Islam from the viewpoint of the history of ideas and the relevance of these ideas to contemporary Arabic political discourse. The author examines the use of the classical Islamic tradition (turath) and its religious and philosophical components by the three dominant Arabic political discourses: the Islamists, apologists and intellectuals. The book analyzes the different assumptions advanced by these discourses and the way they propose to apply or restore the turath in the present. Exploring connections between the medieval Islamic tradition and current debates, this book is essential reading for advanced students and researchers of Islam and political thought.
