From the publisher: "This is a real life account of enslavement, degradation and sexual exploitation; it is just as relevant today as it was first published in 1861, for slavery and racism still exist today under various guises, names, shapes and shades."
"Tadabbur-e-Qur’an by Amin Ahsan Islahi invites the reader to ponder and reflect on the message of the Qur’an. It is based on the principle of nazm or coherence and refutes the oft-repeated allegation that the Holy Book lacks order and continuity. The present volume covers the third chapter of the Qur’an, Surah Ali ‘Imran. It serves as an important resource for students of the Qur’an because its contents are structured into logical sections and subsections with respect to theme and content. Each portion can thus be studied on a week-by-week or other regular basis in a systematic manner. The whole approach is to welcome enquiring and questioning minds to engage with the message of the Qur’an."Translated by Mohammad Saleem Kayani.
From the publisher: This shorter version of Abdullah Yusuf Ali's works includes his translation of the Qur'an text side by side with the Arabic text in a compact volume. The exclusion of the commentaries found in the original edition is deliberate so as to make the volume handy for the reader especially when on a journey. This volume is also suitable for students of Islamic studies. Beautifully printed on thin paper. Includes index.
A biography of the great scholar of the traditional Islamic sciences: the founder of the very first school of law in Ahl as-sunna wa al-jama'a, who indeed was a great source of Islamic knowledge, gained through the companions (sahaba) of the Prophet Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam and their companions (tabi'in), which makes Imam Abu Hanifa a tabi'i himself. This biography is well researched and composed from authentic sources. Translated from Urdu by M. Hadi Hussain.
This book presents a new study of one of the major themes of the Qur’an. The theme of Qur’anic pictures of the universe treated here pertains to as yet a little explored facet of Islamic cosmology. Through this particular thematic study of the Qur’an the author has made a significant contribution to the contemporary understanding of the scriptural foundation of Islamic cosmology and the present discourse on epistemology of scientific exegesis (tafsir ‘ilmy) of the Qur’an. The book offers many new insights that will prove particularly helpful to those interested in deepening their understanding of Qur’anic perspectives on cosmology, the natural sciences, and religion and science.
There is unanimous agreement among Muslim jurists that riba is prohibited strictly by the texts of the Qur’an as well as by those of the Sunnah. When it comes to the identification of the transactions that would fall under the prohibition of riba, however, there is some disagreement among the scholars. Hopefully this book will enrich the debate about Islamic banking by raising new issues.
Completely revised edition of Fazlul Karim's translation.
"In Quest of Knowledge is the story of Imam Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi‘i’s search for knowledge. The story revolves round a son whose sole mission in life is to acquire knowledge, a teacher who lovingly accepts him, and a widow who not only bears with the separation of her only son but also shares his passion for knowledge. Their innate nobility, their ability to suffer for a common cause, their intense love for the Prophet (s) and their infinite trust in Allah give them the dimensions of epic heroes. The invaluable lesson which Imam al-Shafi‘i’s story teaches, although it may not have been his main objective, is that Allah befriends and watches over anyone who endeavours to acquire religious knowledge with the intention of disseminating it."
