Hazrat Khawaja Muinuddin Hasan Chishti was a friend of the poor, the depressed, the deprived and the destitute. His spirit of humanism sets him apart from the considerations of caste, colour and community. His meditations give an authoritative insight into the things that really matter and, it is hoped, will secure for the individual concerned the inner peace and harmony which are sought by man in his bondage. This book is a treasure and would make not only a perfect gift, but also a lovely treat for oneself.

The Qur'an is an invariably unique text, written in a language that holds a wealth of possible meanings and interpretations. In The Divine Word and The Grand Design, Dr. Basil Altaie follows a new approach in discussing the scientific signs alluded to in the Qur'an by subjecting its verses to the scrutiny of linguistic and scientific analysis. Using two main sources--established scientific facts and authentic Arabic lexicons--the book explores contentious issues such as evolution and the Big Bang, showing how some verses in the Qur'an contain signs pointing to factual scientific meanings and descriptions. In this way, the Qur'an also provides proof for its own authenticity, making it a matchless divine text. Through his findings, Altaie attempts to answer a pressing question confronting Muslims in the modern age: is it possible to adopt an 'Islamic' perspective in understanding the discoveries of natural sciences? The present book shows that rather being in opposition, true knowledge and a correct understanding of science consolidates belief in God. Practitioners of theology, philosophy and scientists alike will find it an invaluable contribution to the current discourse on the relationship between Islam and science.

The Maturidi School

The doctrinal creed of the largest denomination of Muslims that came to be known as 'The Adherents to the Sunna and the Congregation' found staunch defenders in the school of the 'Arch-master of guidance' (Imam al-huda) and 'Standard-bearer of guidance' (Alam al-huda) of Samarqand, Abu Mansur al-Maturidi (d.333/945), who codified the theology of 'the Greatest Leader' (al-Imam al-A'zam) Abu Hanifa.\nThis work is a survey of the most important Maturidi authorities and their doctrinal textbooks with a condensed overview of the bio-bibliography of Maturidi scholarship in descending order of antiquity.\nIt highlights their resolutions (taqrirat) as the defining parameters of Sunnism and can serve both as an introductory synopsis of the great themes of Maturidism and as a tool for the study of the school's theology from its early founders to our time.

Prophetic Grappling: Including as-Suyuti's al-Musārʿah ilā al-Muṣārʿah

He ﷺ said, "Go and wrestle him." So, I took him down and thus he ﷺ thus permitted me to join the mission. - Samurah ibn Jundub (Companion of the Messenger of God ﷺ)Sport has been a hallmark of every culture throughout history, and Islamic civilisation was no exception. At the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ, noble arts such as Archery, Swordsmanship, Equitation and Wrestling were the established sports of the day. But how were these sports practised and what purpose did they serve? What emphasis does Islam place on martial arts?Drawing on hadith literature and classical texts, this short work looks at the art of wrestling as practised by early Muslims, including: - A brief history of wrestling in Arabia and amongst the Companions- A translation and commentary on the short treatise by the great 9th century Imam Jalaluddin as-Suyuti's al-Musārʿah ilā al-Muṣārʿah ('Swiftly to Wrestling').- A discussion on the objectives of sports in Islam with excerpts from Silat al-Riyādati bil-Dīn wa-Dawruha ('The Relation Between Exercise and Religion') by the late Shaykh Muhammad ibn Alawi al-Māliki (1944-2004).In a time when sport is heavily commercialised, Prophetic Grappling hopes to inspire a new generation to turn to the noble example of the Messenger of God ﷺ and use traditional martial arts as a means of spiritual, as well as physical, growth.
