This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book in hand is a summary of the Faiths and beliefs of the mainstream Muslims Spread all over the globe. Muslim Scholars are unanimous in opinion that the articles of faith as formulated by Imam Tahawi in the treatise reproduced here, most accurately reflect the mind and understanding of the earliest Muslims. It is free from incorrect interpretations, over-exemplification and any distortion of the ideas promulgated by Islam. There is also a general agreement that the comentary on Tahawi's work as done by Abi Al-Izz is an accurate elucidation of what Tahawi meant to express. Also, it strives to be very close to the texts of the Qur'an and the prophetic saying, and, without over-stretching the meaning, attemps to project the opinion of the great majority of scholars in maters pertaining to Islamic creed. It would be interesting for the followers of other faith to compare their faith and beliefs with those of Islam as illustrated in this standarad Textual work that dates back to the late third Islamic century. Further, since the Muslim creed, truly dating back to the Prophetic times has never undergone revision, this book should help the non-Muslims to get an insight into the Muslim mind.

Download or read book Timeless Fundamentals of Islam written by Salah al-Sawy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the globalization of ideas in our contemporary times, a Muslim may find the very fundamentals of Islam disappearing from his/her consciousness at an unprecedented pace. This erosion is further accelerated by the heightened criticisms against Islam, its Sharia, its civility, and the degree of involvement any religion should have in people's lives. These challenges make it a necessity to refresh Muslims' collective memories about the central concepts of Islam; those which every Muslim must know. These concepts represent the difference between Muslims and others; the constants of the faith that will forever stand true irrespective of time and place. This book showcases Islam's essential creed and lifestyle, namely what informs a Muslim's theology, value system, and what he/she observes as halal (lawful) and haram (unlawful).

This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this treatise is Imam abu Jafar al Tahawi (239 - 321 AH), one of the leading authorities on the Hanafi madhabs. The period he lived in was the zenith of the dissemination of the Islamic sciences and Imam at Tahawi was one of the giants this era produced. To illustrate this; his teachers included imam Ismail ibn Yahya Al Muzani (a major student of Imam al shaafi), he collected hadith from Imam an-Nasai (author of Sunan an-Nasai, one of the saheeh Sittah) and his students included the great Muhaddith Imam At-Tabarani. The purpose of this treatise was to state the creed of the early scholars of the Hanafi madhab and to indicate its correlation with the views of Ahl As-Sunnah Wal Jamaah in general. Imam Dhahabi (673-748 AH) said about At-Tahawi - He was the muhaddith and faqih of Egypt, equally distinguished in both fields. Whoever reads the word of this Imam is sure to acknowledge his erudition and width of vision. Ibn Kathir (702-774 AH) said - He was the most reliable and correct narrator of hadith and one of the greatest scholars of hadith Ibn Hajr Al Asaqalani (773-853 AH) said - He was a reliable narrator, a great scholar, famous jurist, very knowledgeable concerning the controversies of the jurists and a man of keen interests.

Download or read book Contemporary Bioethics written by Mohammed Ali Al-Bar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the common principles of morality and ethics derived from divinely endowed intuitive reason through the creation of al-fitr' a (nature) and human intellect (al-‘aql). Biomedical topics are presented and ethical issues related to topics such as genetic testing, assisted reproduction and organ transplantation are discussed. Whereas these natural sources are God’s special gifts to human beings, God’s revelation as given to the prophets is the supernatural source of divine guidance through which human communities have been guided at all times through history. The second part of the book concentrates on the objectives of Islamic religious practice – the maqa' sid – which include: Preservation of Faith, Preservation of Life, Preservation of Mind (intellect and reason), Preservation of Progeny (al-nasl) and Preservation of Property. Lastly, the third part of the book discusses selected topical issues, including abortion, assisted reproduction devices, genetics, organ transplantation, brain death and end-of-life aspects. For each topic, the current medical evidence is followed by a detailed discussion of the ethical issues involved.

Download or read book Risalah written by Ibn Abi Zayd Al-Qayrawani and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost unique among the works of Muslim scholars, this book, which for Malikis is THE Risalah, was written for children when the author was 17 years old. The sheer pedagogical audacity of introducing children to what is in effect a complete overview of life and human society escapes most people and most Muslims today. The author commences with usul ad-deen - the roots of the deen - a survey of the vital Muslim worldview, proceeding then through purification and the acts of 'ibadah, the ordinary transactions such as marriage, divorce, buying and selling and so forth, and concluding with chapters of a general and miscellaneous nature. The book is here matched by the outstanding lucidity of the translation which reveals a book written in a narrative descriptive style rather than in a didactic scholarly tone, making it breathtakingly accessible. So significant was the book's authorship and so quickly was it recognised that its author became known as the "Young Malik" and his work became a foundational pillar of the madhhab of the School of Madinah and has endured for a millennium, in use both to teach absolute beginners as intended and as a resource for scholars. This edition presents the translation in parallel with the Arabic text without vowellisation (tashkeel). Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani (310 AH/922 CE - 386 AH/996 CE) was born in Qayrawan in Tunisia, arguably one of the most important Muslim cities after Makkah and Madinah, which was always famous for learning and in particular for its staunch adherence to the school of the people of Madinah as transmitted by Imam Malik. His life was overshadowed by the Fatimid dynasty, during which he and the other teachers of Qayrawan calmly kept alive the teaching of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah. Among his other well-known works are the massive multi-volume an-Nawadir wa'z-Ziyadat and a mukhtasar-abridgement of the Mudawwanah of which only the Kitab al-Jami', a comprehensive work containing a wide variety of topics, is extant. Aisha Bewley is the translator of a large number of classical works of Islam and Sufism, often in collaboration with Abdalhaqq Bewley, notably The Noble Qur'an - a New Rendering of Its Meanings in English; Muhammad, Messenger of Allah - the translation of Qadi 'Iyad's ash-Shifa'; the Muwatta' of Imam Malik ibn Anas; and Imam an-Nawawi's Riyad as-Salihin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Glory is to Allah Lord of the Worlds, Whose praise should precede all writing and every speech! May the blessings of Allah rest on Muhammad, His Prophet and Apostle, on his family and companions by whose guidance error I escaped! Before the reader is a priceless book written by Ayatullah Sayyid Abul Fadl bin Rida al- Borqei al - Qummi titled: Naqd al - Muraja'at (a critique of The Right Path). The book; the right path, was written by Sayyid Abdul Husain Sharafuddin al - Musawi, an Iraqi Shia scholar who settled in Lebanon, for the purpose of teaching the Shia that the truth to the righteousness of their creed are supported by Ahlus Sunnah texts and for the purpose of converting the ignorant, unsuspecting Ahlus Sunnah to Shia creed or at least to put doubt in their minds with their belief in Islam Many Muslim scholars have written replies and critiques to the book written by Abdul Husain (The Right Path), each one taking a particular form of methodology. The one before the reader is different in methodology to all other critiques and above all it was written by a former Shia scholar who has reached the position of an authority (Mujtahid) in the Shia Imamiyyah sect; and none can inform you about a thing other than a learned, expert in it.The book; The Right Path, is one of the books that the Shia Imamiyyah gives a lot of attention this days. It was translated into many languages and thousand of copies were printed and distributed free of charge. Today Shia counts this book among their main references. They gave more attention to this book because their four main books (of hadith and jurisprudence) and other books are full of things that blackened the Shia Imamiyyah, Ithna Ashriyyah sect for they contained a lot of shameful and corrupt creeds and it is impossible to say that what are narrated in those books is the religion of members of the Prophet's household. Thus, the book "The Right Guidance" and other books that are calling and inviting to Shiism hide the creed, superstitions, fairy tales, fables, exaggerations, and extremist creeds that those core Shia books contained. The author of this book, al - Borqei (may Allah have mercy on him), has mentioned a little of the contents of one of those books - which is al - Kafi by Kulaini - in this book.The author explained why he wrote the book thus: After all these situations one of those who love me sent to me a book titled Muraja'at (correspondences or letters - the book was translated into English under the title: The Right Path), he asked me to look into it and to sieve from it illusions from facts, it's scum from the reality. The book was written by Sayyid Abdul Huasain Sharafudden one of the scholars of Shia Imamiyyah, he claimed that the Shia sect is the school of thought of the progeny, people of the prophet's household. He composed the book into questions which he allegedly said were asked by a Sunni scholar and which he himself answered. The author of the book displayed distress and sorrow that each group of the Muslims sects held tenaciously to its creed and shows obstinacy against the other sect saying: "The reality of those brothers who are joined by one principle and one creed unfortunately display violent disagreements...and this induced distress and sorrow! So what is the way out?" He continued his digression saying: " I entered Egypt ...and met by luck one of it's greatest scholars...I complained to him about my feelings and he made similar complaints to me...that was a blessed period between us to ponder over ways by which Allah will unite our words, and mend with it the cracks in the Islamic community. Among the principles we agreed upon are that the two sect; Shia and Ahlus Sunnah are Muslims ...and their differences are not in the principles and the fundamentals...and there is no disagreement between them other than what occur between scholars who apply their independent judgments.
