Download or read book The Quran and the Life of Excellence written by Sultan Abdulhameed and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quran teaches that "God does not change people's condition unless they change their inner selves. The change has to occur inside us first, in our beliefs and attitudes, only then can it be seen on the outside. It also teaches how we can change our inner selves and thus improve our circumstances. This book brings together a number of verses from the Quran that teach methods of personal change. Each verse is accompanied by advice on how to use its wisdom in daily life. The principles of personal growth taught in the Quran are simple but they are amazingly powerful, and they can be used by anyone who wishes to transform his or her life from mediocre existence to fulfillment and achievement. A sentence in the Quran is called an aya, or a sign. It is a sign pointing to a deep truth that we need to focus on, decipher and learn to use in our lives. The essays in this book were used to teach the Quran at weekly meetings of Muslim Reform Movement in Brookville, New York, www.mrmo.org. Each provides personal tools on how to apply the aya's wisdom to uplift one's life.

Download or read book Islam and Good Governance written by M. A. Muqtedar Khan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances an Islamic political philosophy based on the concept of Ihsan, which means to do beautiful things. The author moves beyond the dominant model of Islamic governance advanced by modern day Islamists. The political philosophy of Ihsan privileges process over structure, deeds over identity, love over law and mercy and forgiveness over retribution. The work invites Muslims to move away from thinking about the form of Islamic government and to strive to create a self-critical society that defends national virtue and generates institutions and practices that provide good governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam scares the West. Militant conservatism and the horrific acts of violent fundamentalists evoke outrage, but the reprehensible few reinforce a longstanding Western stereotype of all Muslims as "incorrigibly fanatical, violent and morally and culturally different." Overlooked is the long history of Muslim intellectual and cultural achievement, and its potential to flower once again. With about 1.5 billion adherents, Islam is the world's fastest growing religion. An understanding of its past glories, present state and future potential has never been more critical. This survey of Muslim intellectual and cultural achievements spans 1,400 years. Chapters fall into three sections: fundamentals of Islamic learning; its growth until the present; and its future direction in the face of anti-intellectual fundamentalism. Arranged chronologically within the sections, chapters begin with an historical overview of the time period they encompass, providing context for the subsequent discussion of key intellectual and cultural achievements within that period. Appendices describe decorative and other arts, the requirements for expertise in Islamic thought, Islamic ethical traditions, and list noteworthy personalities and achievements chronologically. Maps and photographs illustrate the text, which also includes a glossary, notes, a bibliography and an index.

Download or read book What the Qur an Meant written by Garry Wills and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s leading religious scholar and public intellectual introduces lay readers to the Qur’an with a measured, powerful reading of the ancient text Garry Wills has spent a lifetime thinking and writing about Christianity. In What the Qur’an Meant, Wills invites readers to join him as he embarks on a timely and necessary reconsideration of the Qur’an, leading us through perplexing passages with insight and erudition. What does the Qur’an actually say about veiling women? Does it justify religious war? There was a time when ordinary Americans did not have to know much about Islam. That is no longer the case. We blundered into the longest war in our history without knowing basic facts about the Islamic civilization with which we were dealing. We are constantly fed false information about Islam—claims that it is essentially a religion of violence, that its sacred book is a handbook for terrorists. There is no way to assess these claims unless we have at least some knowledge of the Qur’an. In this book Wills, as a non-Muslim with an open mind, reads the Qur’an with sympathy but with rigor, trying to discover why other non-Muslims—such as Pope Francis—find it an inspiring book, worthy to guide people down through the centuries. There are many traditions that add to and distort and blunt the actual words of the text. What Wills does resembles the work of art restorers who clean away accumulated layers of dust to find the original meaning. He compares the Qur’an with other sacred books, the Old Testament and the New Testament, to show many parallels between them. There are also parallel difficulties of interpretation, which call for patient exploration—and which offer some thrills of discovery. What the Qur’an Meant is the opening of a conversation on one of the world’s most practiced religions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often we are tempted into thinking how wrong other peoples religions and scriptures are, rather than focusing on whats right about our own. We act like some of our politicians during election campaigns rather than following the teachings of our own holy books. Breaking the trend, author Dr. Ejaz Naqvi provides an objective, topic-by-topic review of the two most read books in the worldthe Holy Bible and the Holy Quran. The Quran: With or Against the Bible? addresses the key themes of the Quran and answers commonly asked questions in search of finding common ground: Who wrote the Quran? Who is the God of the Quran? What is the Quranic view of the prophets, especially Moses and Jesus? What does the Quran teach about interfaith relations? Does the Quran promote peace and harmony between Muslims and the People of the Book, or does it promote violence? How does the Quran compare to the Bible on important themes like worshipping God, the prophets, human rights, moral values, and fighting for justice and human dignity? Does the Quran render women as second-class citizens? Dispelling major myths, The Quran: With or Against the Bible? Systematically analyzes and compares the similarities in the paths of guidance the two scriptures have bestowed upon mankind.

Download or read book Nugget of Wisdom from the Quran Life lesson and teaching of the Holy Quran for a peaceful and happy life written by Rajender Kumar and published by Jamba Academy. This book was released on 2022-12-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to have a more intimate and meaningful relationship with your Creator? If so, read on. Are you interested in learning more about Islam's genuine Message and Wisdom? More than a book, the material I give here for your consideration is a compilation of words intended to bring good news, to educate, and maybe even to warn you against something. It is a piece of work motivated by what I hope will be a sound and strong Message. In this guide, I aim to encourage my audience to think freely, widen their perspectives, and contemplate and seek their truth. This scripture warns individuals to never mindlessly accept any religion without first pondering on the faith in question and deducing its actual meaning from the evidence presented. Beyond all forms of belief and emotion, one must utilize their intellect to seek the truth at the heart of all religions. As a severe seeker of truth, this guide is intended to draw and empower individuals who question, reflect, and consider their own life's purpose and challenge their future and direction. Islam, for example, is a religion that is often misunderstood and misrepresented by the general public. To create an opinion about Islam, one must first evaluate their existing knowledge of this religion to determine its thoroughness and truthfulness before forming that view. This book aims to bring positivity, happiness, and good health to the reader by following the teaching of Islam and the holy book Quran. The author wants to uncover the hidden wisdom from the most sacred book that ever existed, the Holy Quran. Humanity has been given a Divine Book that will guide them to a better life both in this world and the next. The Holy Quran is a one-of-a-kind book that has the power to alter one's thoughts, feelings, and actions. Islam and the Holy Quran transform people from the inside out, transforming them into better people. The mission is to assist people in discovering the Wisdom, Inspiration, and Beauty that may be found in Islam and the Holy Quran. Inadequate education about Allah's words, Wisdom, and Advice leads to the development of a negative attitude toward Allah (God). People who hear about Islam from News channels or the Internet assume that God is a harsh, stern, cruel, and demanding deity who demands that His creation submit entirely to Him while also demanding that they respect, worship, and obey Him completely. In reality, God is All-Loving and All-Merciful in all that he does. Islam is much more than a set of rules and regulations; it is a way of life and religion in its own right. In this work, the author hopes to assist readers in realizing that Islam is a religion of wisdom, love, and mercy for all and that it is the true religion of God. Overall, the goal of this Message is to open up a fresh new level of thought that will allow one to recognize the ultimate significance of their being in this universe; to assist one in understanding their divine relationship with the Creator. The Islamic faith is helpful only to those who are sincere in their pursuit of guidance. It is harmful to those who are not sincere and honest in their spiritual quests, reject divine guidance and spiritual truth, and are not serious and honest in their spiritual pursuits.
