Download or read book Shopping with Allah written by Viola Thimm and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shopping with Allah illustrates the ways in which religion is mobilised in package tourism and how spiritual, economic and gendered practices are combined in a form of tourism where the goal is not purely leisure but also ethical and spiritual cultivation. Focusing on the intersection of gender and Islam, Viola Thimm shows how this intersection develops and changes in a pilgrimage-tourism nexus as part of capitalist and halal consumer markets. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, Thimm sheds light on how Islam and gender frame Malaysian religious tourism and pilgrimage to the Arabian Peninsula, but she raises many issues that are of great importance beyond these regional contexts. This book also offers an innovative methodological-analytical toolkit to research mobility and intersectionality across socio-geographic scales ‘Scaling Holistic Intersectionality’. By bringing methodological holism into a fruitful engagement with the antiracist-feminist framework intersectionality, Thimm argues that hierarchical relationships, i.e. marginalisation, power and empowerment, can shift for an individual or a social group depending upon the social sphere. Shopping with Allah will primarily be of interest to readers within the anthropology of gender, the anthropology of Islam and the anthropology of religion more broadly.

Download or read book Allah s Angels written by Paul J Murphy and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive portrait of the women of Chechnya in modern war, Paul Murphy challenges conventional thinking on why they fight and are willing to kill themselves in the name of Allah. His book covers the two wars with Russia in 1994 and 1999 and the present conflict with Islamic Jihadists. It argues that these wars forced Chechen women to venture far beyond their traditional roles and advance their human rights but that the current movement championing traditional Islam is taking those rights away. Drawing on personal interviews, insider resources, and other materials, Murphy presents powerful portrayals of women who fight in the Chechen Jihad, including snipers, suicide bombers and the mysterious “Black Widows,” as well as women who collect intelligence, hide arms, and perform other non-combatant roles.
Download or read book The Bargain from the Bazaar written by Haroon K. Ullah and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awais Reza is a shopkeeper in Lahore's Anarkali Bazaar—the largest open market in South Asia—whose labyrinthine streets teem with shoppers, rickshaws, and cacophonous music. But Anarkali's exuberant hubbub cannot conceal the fact that Pakistan is a country at the edge of a precipice. In recent years, the easy sociability that had once made up this vibrant community has been replaced with doubt and fear. Old-timers like Awais, who inherited his shop from his father and hopes one day to pass it on to his son, are being shouldered aside by easy money, discount stores, heroin peddlers, and the tyranny of fundamentalists. Every night before Awais goes to bed, he plugs in his cell phone and hopes. He hopes that the city will not be plunged into a blackout, that the night will remain calm, that the following morning will bring affluent and happy customers to his shop and, most of all, that his three sons will safely return home. Each of the boys, though, has a very different vision of their, and Pakistan's, future. The Bargain from the Bazaar—the product of eight years of field research—is an intimate window onto ordinary middle-class lives caught in the maelstrom of a nation falling to pieces. It's an absolutely compelling portrait of a family at risk—from a violently changing world on the outside and a growing terror from within.
Download or read book Return to Allah before it s too late written by Junaid Ul Islam and published by FMC PUBLISHERS . This book was released on with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book:- The book, " Return to Allah before it's too late" is a motivational stories based book for the youth. A book which is dedicated towards a cause ie., towards the enlightenment of the youth. As far as the present society is concerned, people especially the youth are more and more attracted towards this materialistic world, without realising or knowingly or unknowingly forgetting the fact that this world is temporary- A bridge between us and the final abode which is Aakhirah (The Hereafter). Westernisation and Modernization are enormously catching up the brains of youth and therefore, this book emerges as a 'Ray of Hope'and a 'Ray of Light' to enlighten the minds of our people especially the youth and to make them realise the short comings of this world and to give them a message towards goodness, towards The Divine: The Majesty Allah and towards the betterment of this world too. The book explores the limitations of this world and reflects upon how we can raise ourselves beyond our desires by our very own actions. The book will take you on a ride to Rumi's World and Iqbal's Poetry who followed Rumi and won't fail in bringing one to tears whilst the stroies it mentions along with the most beautiful and breaking conversation of the heart and the man of the heart. The book leaves almost nothing untouched from Deen (Religion) to Duniyah (World) to make one fall in love with The Creator of this world. A great gift with pearls of wisdom from the young writer Junaid Ul Islam.
Download or read book The Old Curiosity Shop written by Charles Dickens and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870) not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his characters-from Oliver Twist to Ebenezer Scrooge, from Miss Havisham to Uriah Heep-have become not merely iconic, but mythic. But it was his stirring portraits of ordinary people-not the upper classes or the aristocracy-and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor, and in particular for poor children, in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century. Without Charles Dickens, we may never have seen the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Upton Sinclair, or even Bob Dylan. Here, in 30 beautiful volumes-complete with all the original illustrations-is every published word written by one of the most important writers ever. The essential collector's set will delight anyone who cherishes English literature...and who takes pleasure in constantly rediscovering its joys. This volume contains Part II of The Old Curiosity Shop, which was originally serialized in Dickens's own periodical, Master Humphrey's Clock, in 1840 and 1841. The story of the orphan Nell Trent, who lives with her grandfather in the establishment by which the book takes its name, it is both beloved and disparaged for Dickens's treatment of, as Oscar Wilde famously termed it, "the death of little Nell," the suspense surrounding which was comparable to the Harry Potter phenomenon of today.

Book excerpt: D.L. Miller has brilliantly taken the Islamic religion apart, unveiling the origins of Islam and the many ways in which its adherents interpret the Qu'ran, today. With great detail, he explores concepts such as Jihad, Intifada, Shariah, and Fatwah--terms with which many of us are not familiar. Soldiers of Allah is a valuable resource for missionaries, and anyone called to serve in the Islamic world. It also offers much-needed insight into a religious culture with which we are interacting more often today. Soldiers of Allah explains How the revelations of Muhammed became the basis for the Islamic religion Why the Qu'ran is interpreted differently among Islamic denominations Why American jurisprudence cannot coexist with Shariah law Why Allah is not another name for Jehovah Some may question the author's conclusions, but Miller has been thorough and exacting in his research. He has an extremely broad personal and professional knowledge of his subject.

Download or read book Abba Allah Ama God the Father written by Anna Kelly and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The catchy title is everyone¿s word for God or the Father or the Creator. Abba, Jesus Christ called Father, Allah, Mohammed (used in Islam), Ama, Sidhartha (used in Shinto), and Ama is God in Equadorian. The meaning was falling into place; light became stronger than darkness. Author Anna Marie Kelly could see that people were friendlier, and that while there were clear differences in people, there was also similarity. God is the same. Gamma was light, Rama meant God in Hinduism. The author could see patterns; God had created structure long before she ever was. The book Abba, Allah, Ama, God The Father is broken down into four sections: ¿I Found a Silence,¿ ¿A Spirit Broken,¿ ¿The Eternal Now,¿ and ¿God is a Word.¿ The poems travel through most of the author¿s adult life, and she finds that life is still moving forward into a silence and darkness that she is not prepared for. A silence of science and languages she cannot understand. Her memory is leaving with its memory, yet it is leaving the memories of Anna. Anna Marie Kelly¿s life became a joy through accomplishment, admiration and constant praise. Anna left a comfortable, stable and happy home at eighteen to work for the FBI and Nixon¿s administration. She fell from employment at the succession of the Vietnam War. The street life, alcoholism and drugs were the bottom line, the rock bottom. Determined to climb back into society, Anna learned about God, identity, tragedy, homelessness, and failure. Emptiness contributed to filling the voids by expelling constant conflicts and frustrations into writing. Seeing other¿s successes and failures, misuses of fortunes, stabilized her thinking that it was all a part of growing, no matter how tragic. She later attributed misery to sin.
