Describes in vivid prose how the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to remember Allah and pray to Him. The intimate relationship with Allah, which was the hallmark of the Prophet's life, becomes clear and vivid. The book's contents are immensely relevant to the life and concerns of modern man, whose life has been made barren by the present secularist machinery. Translated by Yusuf Talal Delorenzo from Arabic work by Shaykh Muhammad Ghazali (d. 1416 AH).
Sea Without Shore is a practical manual for those travelling the path of Sufism or Islamic mysticism, which strives, in Junayd’s words, “to separate the Beginninglessly Eternal from that which originates in time,” in a word, to be with the Divine without any relation.
Written by Dr. Jerald F. Dirks.
Both Jewish and Islamic sources relate the story of the first known sin in the universe, i.e., Satan refusing to obey God’s command to bow down to Adam. In the present volume, Dr. Dirks explores both Jewish and Islamic sources on the first sin, compares and contrasts them, and identifies the underlying root cause behind Satan’s refusal to bow down to Adam, which was arrogance.
Who is Muhammad (Sall-Allahu Alayhi wa sallam)? What was his background? How did he get the idea that he was a God-sent Prophet? What was his primary message? What accounts for his appeal? These and many such questions have been very vividly answered in this compelling biographical narration by Tarik Jan, who contextualizes the coming of the last prophet in the Abrahamic tradition.
The author has portrayed the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, as a messenger with all the inherent mystique of the prophetic office. The prophetic message unfolds itself as the Messenger creates situation on the ground. The psychological environment, in which the Prophet and his companions lived and operated, has been maintained. The book goes beyond the episodical frame and integrates the material to tell a tale, relying on the Qur'an and the ahadith to present the life and times of Prophet Muhammad.
Translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali. New edition with revised translation, commentary, and newly compiled comprehensive index. Revised by the editorial board of Amana Publications.
