2014 Reprint of 1931 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Ibn Hazm (died 1064), drawing upon personal experiences, composed this famous work on "pure love" called Ṭawq al-ḥamāmah ("The Ring of the Dove" or "Dove's Neck Ring"). Its lucid prose, interspersed with poetry, has many times been translated into Western languages. The theme of love was especially popular, and a wide variety of intellectuals focused their attention on it. It is a charmingly intimate portrait of social intercourse within the Islamic community of the 11th century. This work, a blend of sensibilities nurtured by a harem education in his youth and the prudery of a scholar's Koran based ideals, was Ibn Hazm's masterpiece of courtly love-love Platonic, exquisite by unrequited. Europe's troubadours imbibed "The Dove" like a fine wine.

Tawq al-Hamama fi al-Ulfa wa al-Ullaf (The Ring of the Dove) is a treatise on love written ca. 1022 by Ibn Hazm.Hazm produced his only work of literature with The Ring of the Dove.Although the human aspects of affection are the primary concern, the book was still written from the perspective of a devout Muslim, and as such chastity and restraint were common themes. The book provides a glimpse into Ibn Hazm's own psychology. Ibn Hazm's teenage infatuation with one of his family's maids is often quoted as an example of the sort of chaste, unrequited love about which the author wrote.

Ibn Hazm (b. 994 CE, d. 1064 CE) of Cordoba, Spain lived at a time that is often characterised as being the golden age of Islamic civilization in Europe. A true polymath, the breadth of his works and overall contribution to knowledge is quite exceptional. For the first time in English, a complete translation of ‘Masa’il min al-Usul’ (issues or questions from Usul) is presented, taken from the second book of Ibn Hazm’s magnum opus of fiqh, Al-Muhalla bil’Athar. Together with the translated text, several explanatory footnotes have been added to provide, where appropriate, additional explanation and references. These key issues of Usul are utilised throughout that work and are a feature of Ibn Hazm’s unique legal method. Yet many of these foundational principles are significant in themselves, not least because they provide a lucid empowering framework with which to approach many of the intractable debates that currently beset contemporary Islamic discourse. The Renascence Foundation is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to seeking to stimulate, revive and reinvigorate contemporary Islamic thought.

There is often a tendency within Muslim circles to claim that there is unanimity of opinion supporting an outright prohibition concerning music and chess. The existing literature available in English tends to only show a very partial and at times skewed reading of the scriptural evidences. In order to broaden the discourse upon this issue, we hereby present for the first time in English, Ibn Hazm’s critical analysis of this topic. Ibn Hazm was famous for his rejection that there is any clear or authentic textual prohibition relating to music or playing chess. In his unique inimitable style, Ibn Hazm critically assesses the textual evidences upon this issue, from the Qur’anic verses to the reported Prophetic statements.
