Written by Aisha Bewley. In Mu'awiya,Radi-Alalhu unhu, we have the master statesman who set about developing a form of governance in which Islam could express itself in the wider social and economic circumstances in which it found itself as a result of the success of the early conquests. The Umayyads reprsent the fusion of Islam with Arab democratic individualism and the Byzantime legacy.

This work by Ahmad Thomson deals principally with the history of Christianity in Europe, with particular reference to Spain, tracing the movement of the original Unitarian followers of Jesus (Isa, Alayhi salam), from North Africa and the Middle East up into Europe and Spain. It goes on to describe the formation and expansion of the Trinitarian Church in Italy and the rest of Europe and outlines the almost total annihilation of the Unitarian Christians at the hands of the Trinitarian Church by means of the Mediaeval Inquisition. This is useful in understanding how Islam was able to spread so readily and rapidly in Andalus.

Translated By Ahmad 'Ali al-'Adani. Being the third part of al-Qasru'l-Hirs, al-Qurtubi deals with the issue of zuhd or “doing-without.” Zuhd is a central dimension of Islam, but Muslims in every age have faced the ingrained peril of distorting its meaning and its demands, and veer away from a sound understanding of it. This book not only restores a balance in the understanding of zuhd but offers practical advice of how to bring it into our lives. Special attention is given to the central issue of wealth, from the viewpoint of how to employ it legitimately, and of its being a test to Muslims.

This extensive work tries to fill a gap in the literature on the historical Jesus by considering simultaneously the Qur’anic account of Jesus’ life, its counterparts in the Gospels and historical sources.
The holy scriptures of the three Abrahamic religions share some of the main aspects of historical events which happened after Prophet Abraham. One topic which reveals many such shared aspects is the story of Moses who rose up against the despotic Pharaoh. The events during the period are important to the Muslims, Jews and Christians, and in many cases form the basis of the history and rituals of the three religions. This work is a comparative study of the Biblical and Qur'anic narrations of the story of Moses and Pharaoh. In doing so, Dr Maurice Bucaille, author of the bestselling 1976 treatise, The Bible, The Qur'an and Science, carefully avoids theoretical and speculative views in an attempt to cope only with facts.

This work examines the business practices obtaining in the early period of Islam and highlights the legal principles which emerge therefrom. The subject is approached from the perspective of history, economics, law, market management, religion and ethics. The author deals in detail with the concept of bay' (sale), as developed by early jurists, and examines the chronological phases of its growth during the period of the Prophet and subsequently his companions and successors.
At a time when sections of Christianity are making every effort to convert peoples of the Islamic faith; when in the media every Muslim misdeed is highlighted and every Muslim virtue is hidden, how is it possible that so many Western Christians are turning to Islam, recognising that it is God’s True Path? Within these pages we see the Author’s theological journey which gives insight into a struggle which has taken place through the ages. To understand this is to understand the era in which we now live. The author, Shifa Lynette Vivienne Mustapha, is an Australian who embraced Islam in 1989. Her efforts to bring understanding between the Muslim and other Australian communities was recognized by the Queensland government in 1998 when she received the Queensland Multicultural Service Award. Her work has taken her to churches, schools, colleges and universities as a Muslim speaker, and in 1995 she was the woman speaker at the Organisation of Islamic Conference in Sydney.
The philosophical, cultural, political, economic and social impact of the domination of the modern West continues in one way or another through the width and breadth of the Muslim world, threatening not only the traditional institutions of Islamic society, but Islamic religion itself. Many are alienated from Islam as a result of the crushing influence of alien ideologies, whilst others react mostly with emotional outbursts and occasional violence. This book, written by one of contemporary Islamic scholarship's best minds, addresses primarily the Muslim youths in a language which is fairly simple rather than being excessively scholarly, to be able to respond to the challenges posed by the modern world and its current ideologies.
In this seminal work, Malik Bennabi investigates the essentials of human society by exploring what makes the human group an ethico-social order and historical community and not a mere agglomerate of individulas living according to the mere laws of nature. Following a multi-disciplinary approach informed by a clear philosophical bent mind and a unity of intellectual vision, On The Origins of Human Society provides an adequate theoretical framework for a paradigmatic shift in the study and understanding of human social existence
