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.
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 books 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).

The Qibla is the noblest of directions. This book settles the question of the physical direction of Mecca from North America in the first thirty pages, after which it presents to readers for the first time the 1998 Fatwa of al-Azhar on the North American qibla.From this point of departure, the author surveys such major contemporary issues as the relation between religion and science, the Sacred and profane, scholars and engineers, ijtihad and taqlid. Combining traditional Islamic law, a clear exposition of the complex geographical issues, and the author�s own meetings and correspondence with twenty-three contemporary scholars from seven Muslim lands, the book is a journey of discovery not only for Western Muslims, but everyone interested in Sacred Law in a modern world.
