Book excerpt: Life’s been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he lives in can scare him. Fighting is his release and sex, drugs, and his guitar bring him peace, but deep down Zeke isn’t quite as hard as he makes himself out to be. When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him back together, but she’s a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing he wants to do is bring her into his dark world. Playing careless is easy, playing the bad guy can be fun, but playing Patience is impossible, especially when she can see right through him. Zeke isn’t the only one who’s broken, and for the first time, in a long time, Patience feels alive. Her black and white world gets a shot of color when she meets Zeke. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever met with his tattoos, piercings, and blunt honesty. She wants nothing more than to let go and ride the wild side with him, but some wounds never heal and the broken pieces of Patience aren’t so easy to find.

Download or read book The Renewal of Islam s World Order written by Munawar Sabir and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allah created the earth and then bestowed on man His favor to extract sustenance from it. He also creates the sun moon and the stars to create a just equilibrium and harmony in the universe. The sun provides energy for the growth, sustenance and wellbeing of the humans’ plants and the animals. Gradually man began to extract more than his personal needs from the earth and the boom of economics, trade and commerce started, creating, cycle’s imbalance, disharmony, wars, poverty, and injustice throughout the globe. This disharmony caused by greed not only blemished the humans, but the animal life also suffered by disappearance of species. Pollution and contamination of the environment resulted from race to accumulate and hoard the world’s wealth in a few hands. Man, disobeyed Allah’s universal laws and Allah’s Covenant. In return for all of Allah’s favors Allah commands: Justice, Al-‘Adl. Justice, fairness honesty, integrity and even-handed dealings are a prerequisite of every Muslim’s conduct when dealing with others whether socially or in business transaction Doing what is good and that is beautiful. Al-Ihsan. This attribute includes every positive quality such as goodness, beautiful, pleasing, harmony. Human beings have an obligation to do what is wholesome and beautiful in their relationship with Allah and His creatures. Provide for those near to you, qurba and kith and kin. Help them with wealth, kindness, compassion, humanity, and sympathy. Allah forbids Al-Fahasha, all evil deeds, lies, false testimony, fornication, selfishness, ingratitude, greed, and false belief. One must fulfill the Covenant of Allah and who so ever does beautiful and righteous deeds Allah will give him or her new life and reward them with greater wages. Allah commands justice, the doing of good and liberality to kith and kin and He forbids all shameful deeds and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition. Fulfill the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it and break not your covenants after ye have confirmed them: indeed, ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knows all that you do. (Qur’an 16:90-91)ô Whoever works righteousness, man or woman and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best their actions. (Qur’an16:97) Tawhid the main pillar off Islam signifies that human’s economic life depends wholly on Allah’s Laws of the universe that their relationship to those who believe is through the obedience to the Covenant of Allah. Allah maintains in the Qur’an that there is no creature on earth the responsibility of whose sustenance is not assumed by Allah. No creature crawls on earth that Allah does not nourish. He knows its essential nature and its varying forms; every detail has its place in the obvious plan. (Qur’an 11:6) How are the people in need provided for their sustenance and needs of daily lives? All wealth belongs to Allah who bestows it on some persons more than others. This wealth is given in trust, whereby the possessor is obliged to give the surplus in Allah’s cause, to his kin, to the widows and orphans and to the needy first in his community and then in the other communities around him. Wealth is to be shared so that not a single individual of the Ummah, or indeed in the world should go hungry or without education and shelter.

Download or read book The Covenant and the Dar Es Salaam written by Munawar Sabir and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dar es Salaam is the Abode of Peace, which Allah has promised to His righteous servants who follow the Straight Path of Allah. Dar es Salaam is the home of the Ummah, which extends in the East from the Muslim populations of the Philippines to the Atlantic coast of Africa and in the North its domains extend from the Muslim population of Russia to those of Indonesia to the South. Every place with a majority of Muslims constitutes the domain of Islam, the Abode of Peace. Believers within and outside the domain of Islam, have the right to the citizenship of the Dar es Salaam, and shall enjoy all the benefits and the obligations that go with such citizenship. Every home and every place of worship of Believers everywhere on earth constitute a piece of the Dar es Salaam. There is neither a border nor frontiers in the Dar es Salaam. Through obedience of Covenant of Allah, the Ummah is at this point of time ready to roll over artificial borders and barriers dividing the Dar es Salaam and to assume its executive sovereignty over the land of Islam. The Ummah is prepared to establish the Covenant of Allah in the governance of its communities through peace, justice, consultation and consensus of the community. The greatest miracle of Islam is the Revelation and the preservation of the Divine Word, the Qur’an. The next greatest miracle is survival, and continuing expansion of the Ummah, through the centuries of tyrannical and turbulent Sultanic and colonial rule. In spite of the alien systems of governments of sultans and dictators, founded on self-aggrandizement and personal power, the common people and the community of Islam have continued to receive nurturing and spiritual enlightenment, through love of Allah and His Blessed Nabi. Holy men, sages, Sufi, and other humble religious teachers have continued to nurture the love of Allah in the heart of the people. They sought to teach and preach Taqwa of Allah and the knowledge of Allah in humility and sincerity. Insignificant raindrops fall on a parched land singly and disappear forever, the same rain drops in strength coalesce to form little streams, then little rivulets, then join together to become mighty rivers, flowing further dropping into powerful and majestic waterfalls, yet again, joining together with other rivers, lakes, and yet more hill torrents to end up in mighty oceans, ever increasing in size, in length, in depth, in power, yet at all times obedient to the will of Allah. An insignificant human without faith is like a drop of water on parched land. Yet the same human, a Believer strengthened by his Covenant with Allah joins others with the Covenant, to form a little community, that in unity with other Believers, in communion with Allah, in unity become the Ummah of the Believers around the world, a powerful united people, witness over other nations with Allah and His Prophet witness over them. At the turn of the twenty- first century there are more Believers than ever in the history of mankind. These Believers of Allah are in Islam and in other religions. It is the obligation of every Muslim to commune with every Believer of Allah in the brotherhood of the people of Haqq.

Download or read book Bah Ethics in Light of Scripture Virtues and divine commandments written by Udo Schaefer and published by Udo Schaefer. This book was released on 2007 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a fundamental discrepancy between man as he is and man as he could be, if only he recognized his true being and purpose. Ethics is the discipline by which man can understand how he can pass from the first condition to the second. Udo Schaefer's Baha'i Ethics in Light of Scripture is an attempt to analyse the underlying structures and detect the interior architecture of the Baha'i moral system and is a step towards developing a Baha'i moral theology. Doctrinal Fundamentals, the first of two volumes, provides a historical overview of the Baha'i Faith, a systematic survey of it doctrines and an overview of the origin and derivation of moral values. It considers the metaphysical nature of human beings and human responsibilities, looks at reason and conscience, and explores liberty and its limits. Schaefer's second volume deals with concrete values - the virtues, divine commandments and principles of social ethics from a Baha'i perspective."

Download or read book Poetics of Luxury in the Nineteenth Century written by Professor Betsy Winakur Tontiplaphol and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with John Keats and tracing a line of influence through Alfred Lord Tennyson and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Betsy Tontiplaphol draws on established narratives of the nineteenth century's social and literary developments to describe the relationship between poetics and luxury in an age when imperial trade and domestic consumerism reached a fevered pitch. The "luscious poem," as Tontiplaphol defines it, is a subset of the luxurious, a category that suggests richness in combination with enclosure and intimacy. For Keats, Tontiplaphol suggests, the psychological virtues of luscious experience generated a new poetics, one that combined his Romantic predecessors' sense of the ameliorative power of poetry with his own revaluation of space, both physical and prosodic. Her approach blends cultural context with close attention to the formal and affective qualities of poetry as she describes the efforts of Keats and his equally—though differently—anxious Victorian inheritors to develop textual spaces as luscious as the ones their language describes. For all three poets, that effort entailed rediscovering and reinterpreting the list, or catalogue, and each chapter's textual and formal analyses are offered in counterpoint to careful examination of the century's luscious materialities. Her book is at once a study of influence, a socio-historical critique, and a form-focused assessment of three century-defining voices.
