Book excerpt: With the help of modern technologies, a new, all-encompassing and all-controlling superorganism is created that fulfills the promise of Satan, which he gave man at the beginning of time: Apotheosis – becoming like God! The misled, globalized people who are made believe, they lived in the best and most progressive epoch of human history, are increasingly enslaved by a diabolic political and economic system, and by a certain perception of reality. While the creation is dying and the world at the brink of Armageddon, the individual has only one chance: Surrender to God!
Download or read book In the Light of a Blessed Tree written by Timothy J. Gianotti and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the light of A Blessed Tree presents an absolutely original, experientially textured introduction to Islamic belief, practice, and history for both the intrigued newcomer as well as for those who already possess some basic literacy in Islam. Slowly crafted over the years following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, this modest book speaks with scholarly integrity but in an everyday voice, full of real-life narratives that "illuminate" the beliefs, practices, and histories described. More, it brings the reader in touch with the psychological, social, and cultural forces that shape the way we come to the question of Islam in a wounded world, still grappling with the trauma of 9/11 and very much still in a state of war. For these and other reasons, In the Light of a Blessed Tree speaks to contemporary images and realities, even as it walks through the ancient origins of Islam.

Download or read book And Muhammad Is His Messenger written by Annemarie Schimmel and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The important role of the Prophet Muhammad in the everyday lives of Muslims is usually overlooked by Western scholars and has consequently never been understood by the Western world. Using original sources in the various Islamic languages, Annemarie Schimmel explains the central place of Muhammad in Muslim life, mystical thought, and poetry. She sees the veneration of Muhammad as having many parallels in other major religions. In order to understand Muslim piety it is necessary to take into account the long history of the veneration of Muhammad. Schimmel discusses aspects of his life, birth, marriage, miracles, and heavenly journey, all of which became subjects for religious devotions. By using poetic texts and artistic expressions and by examining daily Muslim religious practices, Schimmel shows us the gentler side of Islamic religious culture, providing a much-needed understanding of religion as it is experienced and practiced in the Islamic world. This is the first book in English to deal with all aspects of the veneration of the Prophet Muhammad. It is an expanded version of Schimmel's Und Muhammad Ist Sein Prophet, originally published in German in 1981.

Download or read book Redemptive Suffering in Islam written by Mahmoud M. Ayoub and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems– both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.
Download or read book Learning from Other Religious Traditions written by Hans Gustafson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together academic scholars from across various religious traditions to reflect on the beauty they find in traditions other than their own. They examine these aspects and reflect on how they inform and constructively assist with rethinking their own religious worldviews and practices. Each scholar investigates the various implications, questions, insights, and challenges that are generated in the process of doing so. Traditions discussed include Ásatrú Heathenism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Evangelical Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, LDS Mormon Christianity, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, Sikhism, Sufism, Western Buddhism, and Zen Mahāyāna Buddhism. Instead of focusing only or primarily on the theory and practice of interreligious dialogue, this book presents living examples of learning from other religious traditions, identities, and persons.
Download or read book Allegory and Philosophy in Avicenna Ibn S n written by Peter Heath and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic allegory is the product of a cohesive literary tradition to which few contributed as significantly as Ibn Sina (Avicenna), the eleventh-century Muslim philosopher. Peter Heath here offers a detailed examination of Avicenna's contribution, paying special attention to Avicenna's psychology and poetics and to the ways in which they influenced strains of theological, mystical, and literary thought in subsequent Islamic—and Western—intellectual and religious history. Heath begins by showing how Avicenna's writings fit into the context and general history of Islamic allegory and explores the interaction among allegory, allegoresis, and philosophy in Avicenna's thought. He then provides a brief introduction to Avicenna as an historical figure. From there, he examines the ways in which Avicenna's cosmological, psychological, and epistemological theories find parallel, if diverse, expression in the disparate formats of philosophical and allegorical narration. Included in this book is an illustration of Avicenna's allegorical practice. This takes the form of a translation of the Mi'raj Nama (The Book of the Prophet Muhammad's Ascent to Heaven), a short treatise in Persian generally attributed to Avicenna. The text concludes with an investigation of the literary dimension Avicenna's allegorical theory and practice by examining his use of description metaphor. Allegory and Philosophy in Avicenna is an original and important work that breaks new ground by applying the techniques of modern literary criticism to the study of Medieval Islamic philosophy. It will be of interest to scholars and students of medieval Islamic and Western literature and philosophy.
Download or read book Kitaaba Wal Hikmata written by Jamir Ahmed Choudhury and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' is an inspired sharing at the appointed time. It shares for the First Time in the History of Pen-Paper-Pencil Epistemology those Manifest Truths which are being concealed historically from mankind in general. Due to concealment of Manifest Truth and Projection of Manmade Falsehoods within the domain of Epistemology by the International Criminals as well as their Agencies & Institutions, we [almost all save International Criminals] are far from clear concepts [Self-evident Truths] of Upright Rectangular Universe, Manifested Hexagonal World within Non-luminous Moon of the East Horizon, Appearing Pentagonal Earth, Sirius Binary System [Trinity], Three Ascending Stair Ways, Four Cardinal Directions in resemblance with Four Basic Forces & in correspondence with Crucified Sign, Equal & Opposite Manifested Sign of Sole Magnetism [Two Clear Proofs] from North to South & South to North, Equal & Opposite Moons [Uranus & Neptune] of the Equal & Opposite Zones, Right Direction of performing Salat [Namaz] facing each other towards Upright West [Arsh], appointed day of observing Idd uniformly, Upright West Region of the Appointed Kaba, Straight Middle-East Region of Bermuda Triangle, existential imports of Nine Tokens given to Muusaa (ass) i.e. projected nine planets, and the like. It is self-evident that we know nothing after having known much due to Projected Epistemology. Consequently, we are living under Man-made Nature and are fighting to liberate animals from Manifested Nature. Each searched out Manifest Truth shared in the Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata will appear either contrary or contradictory to uncountable pen-paper-pencil works and mechanical activities prevailing in the History of Projected Epistemology. Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata published by Partridge Publishing, 2016, is the first pen-paper-pencil work [self-published book] in the History of Epistemology which not only explores with experimentum crusis and crucial instances the Trinity of Manifest Hypocrisy Teleological Evidence Sorcery Extreme Epistemic Persecution, 6310 Conspiracy Commentaries of the researchers of IFTA on Quran in resemblance with Introduced Manmade Magnetism & Invented Circular Rotation & Revolution System of NASA, Nexus of Self-evident Plagiarisms prevailing in the so-called research works etc. but also shares Manifest Truth [Injiil in correspondence with Tawraat] with reference to verifiable truth of facts [Real Science] and justifiable necessary truth [True Philosophy]. As 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' shares Irreversible Manifest Truth searched out on the basis of Four Revealed & Established Criiterions [Units / Scales] of Truth in resemblance with Universal Major Premises [Coded Shared Tautologies], so, it is beyond scepticism. Sceptics of Irreversible Manifest Truth are instructed to commit Suicide. Projected impact factors, API Points, pentagonal star marks, citations, criticisms, critical remarks, critical reviews, commentaries, Peter Singers concept of liberation, John Rawls Veil of Ignorance, John Lockes Tabula Rasa, Copernican Universal Mal-observation, Keplers Elliptical Axis, Astronomy, Mysticism, Spiritualism, Sufism, Rucksack of According to etc. have no existential imports with respect to searched out Irreversible Manifest Truth shared in the Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata. On the contrary, Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata has proclaimed Greatest War or Jihade-Akbar against International Criminals who have concealed Manifest Truth from the domain of education and have projected Manmade Falsehoods as Manifest Truth within the domain of Education in the name of Scientific Certainty. So, Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata rightly deserves verification, justification, recognition, and confirmation of the searched out Manifest Truth [Injiil in correspondence with Tawraat] for the Sanctity of Education, Utilitarian Liberation, Survival of the Truest. If the possessors of Balanced Good Sense are able to point out lacunae in the Logical Thread of the searched out Manifest Truth with reference to criterions of truth and in resemblance with at least one Universal Major Premise [Coded Shared Tautology], the sharer of 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' will try to research Manifest Truth from that pointed lacunae. In this regard, the sharer of 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' places 'Justifiable Appeal' before all to reject or to recognize the searched out Manifest Truth shared in his book for the First Time in the History of pen-paper-pencil Epistemology. Further, going through Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata, each possessor of Balanced Good Sense will be able to recognise International Criminals as well as their Equal & Opposite games with Faith & Belief of Mankind in general and particularly with the equal & opposite Right Path towards Upright West & appointed Day of observing Idd uniformly. It is certain like Cogito Ergo Sum of Rene Descartes that the Day when the capability of the possessors of Balanced Good Sense to Approach Justness will manifest openly and publicly, that Day Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata will get triumph over projected falsehoods. Expecting Justness from the Respective Authorities, Honourable Chairs, Epistemic Persons, Educated People, Possessors of Balanced Good Sense, and Mankind in general with searched out Manifest Truth and Solidified Solid Human Rights shared in the Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata, Jamir Ahmed Choudhury Sharer of 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' or 'Manifested Nature and the Utility of One's Upright Logic' Published by Partridge Publishing, 5th August, 2016 ISBN (13) - 9781482875034 / ISBN (13) - 9781482875027 ISBN (10) - 1482875039 / ISBN (10) - 1482875020 ASIN - B01LFG1B82 / EAN - 9781482875034 OCLC - 956692563
Download or read book Olive Odyssey written by Julie Angus and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Mediterranean travel memoir offers “an engaging mix of history, food travelogue, and botany lesson . . . There is much to enjoy here” (Library Journal). Inspired by her Syrian forebears’ intimate relationship with the olive, Julie Angus embarks on a voyage around the Mediterranean to unlock the secrets of the fruit that meant so much to them. Accompanied by her husband and their ten-month-old son, Angus collects samples from ancient trees to determine where the first olive tree originated; feasts on inky black tapenades and codfish drizzled with olive oil, among many other delights; witnesses the harvesting of olives in Greece; and visits perhaps the oldest olive tree in the world, on Crete. The result is a fascinating history and biography of this most influential and irresistible fruit. “It is a pleasure to try to keep up with this book; like its author, it covers an enormous amount of territory.” —Christopher Bakken, Wall Street Journal
Download or read book Traversing the Heart written by Richard Kearney and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key wager of Traversing the Heart - Journeys of the Inter-religious Imagination is that a spiritual imaginary operating at the level of metaphor, narrative, symbol and epiphany can traverse the borders of dogma and ideology and open genuine conversations between wisdom traditions. Like every hermeneutics of the heart, this journey begins to unfold in a concrete space and time: the interreligious conference at Bangalore in June 2007. While this collection does not claim to cover the religious traditions of all continents, its concluding essay on transculturation in Andean-Christian art highlights the importance of the North-South dialogue as a necessary supplement to the East-West one largely addressed in the book. As a call to future journeys and dialogue, this volume aims to communicate the one seminal lesson learned during the India conference: that in our third millennium, religions will be inter-religious or they will not be at peace.

He brought them back to life and became obsessed with olives, their cultivation, and their role in international commerce.
Download or read book The Praised and the Virgin written by Rusmir Mahmutćehajić and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Praised and the Virgin, Rusmir Mahmutćehajić provides an extended theologically and philosophically informed meditation on relations between the Muslim and Christian traditions, through the persons of Muhammad (the Praised) and Mary (the Virgin), as complementary bearers of God’s Word. He traces their presence in the extended encounter of the Abrahamic traditions that is Bosnia’s past and present, demonstrating how these traditions inform each other, while simultaneously preserving their difference and uniqueness. He lays fundamental groundwork for a more authentic dialogue, based on identity and difference in history under God, that is also a critique of inhumane ideologies and a modernity that has forsaken God and Man, again as reflected in the historical experiences of the Bosnian people.
