(Islamic Lectures by Professor Muhammad Hamidur Rahman)
Compiled by Muhammad Adam Ali
This book presents a thematic treatment of Islamic civilisation. Each of the fourteen chapters comprising this book treats at least one of the major themes that are characteristic of this youngest religiously-based civilisation of the world. The author’s thematic approach is primarily meant to promote a better appreciation of the living nature of Islamic civilisation. The book’s content provides ample evidence that Islamic civilisation is not merely a passing historical phenomenon. The various themes it discusses clearly demonstrate the continuing relevance of Islamic civilisation to the present and future humanity.
"This book approaches the question of technology from an Islamic ethical perspective. The book tries to broaden the scope of the Sharia to deal comprehensively with the ethical questions and dilemmas that arise in the midst of a postmodern technological culture due to the absence of well-defined religious-ethical ends. It looks at the maqasid as a universal ethical theory to be interpreted and applied in the global technological context. It weaves the contemporary philosophical analysis of technology within the maqasid discourse and assesses modern technology through the lens of the ultimate aims and purposes of the Sharia. It works out the relationship between the various objectives and how they can be developed into an Islamic ethics of technology. Following in the recent interest in the objectives of the Sharia, the book further expands the scope of the maqasid and carries it further to encompass metaphysical and ethical debates surrounding technology. Anyone interested in finding alternatives to the existing technological model will find this book valuable. Specifically those interested in Islam and Modern World and how ijtihad is being undertaken to tackle contemporary ethical problems will find this book helpful."

Islamic Philosophy from Its Origin to the Present offers a comprehensive overview of Islamic philosophy from the ninth century to the present day. As Seyyed Hossein Nasr attests, within this tradition, philosophizing is done in a world in which prophecy is the central reality of life—a reality related not only to the realms of action and ethics but also to the realm of knowledge.
How the practice of giving Jahaiz (dowry) to the bride by her parents came into being in India and why it is so wrong.
Most people outside Iran may not know that the government that came into power in Iran after the Khomeini revolution heavily promoted mut'a or temporary marriage. Here is a close look at this institution. Who are the people involved in it? what are their motivation? (Men seek sex without responsibility and women seek money but there are other motivations as well, including the religious motivation to earn merits by disobeying Syedna Umar radi-Allahu unhu). How is it arranged? What are the areas of concentration of this practice? (Qum, Mashhad, and Isfahan). And Why? Is the practice, declared haram by a consensus of ahl Sunna wal Jamma, simply legalized prostitution? Get answers to these and many other questions based on interviews with those involved in the practice.
