Al-Wahidi's Asbab Al-Nuzul
|
|
Up until now, the fundamental texts of the Islamic faith, apart from the notable exception of the Hadith of the Prophet, have remained out of reach of many Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Among the most important sources for understanding the Qur'an are the tafsir works, commentaries on the Qur'an, which help to properly explain and contextualise the Revelation. Al-Wahidi's Asbab Al-Nuzul, presented here in complete English translation for the first time ever, is the third work in The Great Commentaries on the Holy Qur'an series. The series aims to make widely available leading exegetical works in translation for study and research in unabridged form, which are faithful to the letter and meaning of the Arabic.

Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
|
|
Tafsir Al-Jalalayn is one of the most significant tafsirs, or commentaries, for the study of the Quran. Composed by two "Jalals"- Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli (d. 1459CE) and Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (d. 1505CE), Tafsir Al-Jalalayn is generally regarded as one of the most easily accessible works of Quranic exegesis beacause of its simple style and one volume length. For the first time ever Tafsir al-Jalalayn is completely translated into an unabridged, highly accurate and readable annotated English translation by Feras Hamza. Our Price: $99.99

The Art of Integration
|
|
The Art of Integration is a graceful and visually poetic reminder that Muslims have been a part of British life for well over a century and have made and continue to make an important contribution to the United Kingdom's rich cultural diversity. Contrary to the headlines and editorializing, the vast majority of Muslims live peacefully and productively in Britain and many have significantly enriched the intellectual and cultural landscape of this great island nation. Peter Sanders captures a few of these wonderful people: physicians, scholars, writers, teachers, calligraphers, rock and folk-rock icons, a city councillor, award-winning architect, publisher, sculptor, graffiti artist, cosmetician, police constable, fashion designer, driver, Etonians, Oxbridgians, and many others. The architectural influences from the Muslim world expressed in Leighton House, the Shah Jehan Mosque in Woking and a Turkish bath in the shadow of the Gherkin contribute to the pageant of images in this beautiful and vibrant photographic essay.

A Perspective on the signs of AL-Quran
|
|
The signs of the Quran speak only to the seeking heart. The heart cannot be coerced; it must want and it must be willing...There is no god is offered by the mind after it has quashed all fallacies. But God!, is the heart's plea. The Kalima rejects dogma and embraces both the simplicity and profundity of Onenes...Nothing is outside of Unity…To love God, as God should be loved, is to love our fellow creatures. To love our fellow creatures as they should be loved is to love God. To exist outside of Unity is to be dispossessed, surrounded by emptiness, like a bird grounded in a boundless, open vacuum. There is no lift in the flapping wings, when the winds that give flight are lost to them. Our Price: $14.99

The Rubais of Rumi-Insane with Love

About The Rubais of Rumi
The first English translation of the rubais of Rumi
PB 224 Pages
• Presents 233 of the most evocative of Rumi’s 1,700 rubais
• Shows that the mystical embrace is the way to directly experience the Divine
Rumi is well known for the over 44,000 verses that appear in a 23-volume collection called the Divan-i Kebir. Yet Rumi also composed 1,700 rubais, short aphorisms and observations, whose depth and message belie their brevity.
The form of rubais first became well known through the 11th-century collection The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. But unlike Khayyam, who like most poets would sit and carefully craft each word, Rumi would compose and speak his poems through the spontaneous “language of poetry” that poured from his lips as he traveled the streets of Konya, Anatolia (present-day Turkey). Very few of Rumi’s rubais have been translated into any of the languages of the contemporary Western world. Now, Nevit O. Ergin, the translator of the complete Divan-i Kebir, and Will Johnson present here 233 of the most evocative of Rumi’s 1,700 rubais.

Hafez: Teachings of the Philosopher of Love
|
|
About this book
PB 288 Pages
An exploration of the Persian poet’s spiritual philosophy, with original translations of his poetry
• Features extensive insight into the meanings and contexts of the poetry and philosophies of this spiritual teacher
• Includes over 30 complete poems by Haféz, including “The Wild Deer,” often regarded as his masterpiece
For 600 years the Persian poet Haféz has been read, recited, quoted, and loved by millions of people in his homeland and throughout the world. Like his predecessor Rumi, he is a spiritual guide in our search for life’s essence. Haféz is both a mystic philosopher and a heartfelt poet of desires and fears.
Haféz: Teachings of the Philosopher of Love is the perfect introduction to the man known as the philosopher of love, whose message of spiritual transcendence through rapture and service to others is especially important to our troubled world. His wisdom speaks directly to the cutting edge of philosophy, psychology, social theory, and education and can serve as a bridge of understanding between the West and the Middle East, two cultures in desperate need of mutual empathy.
About the Author(s) of Haféz
A native of Iran, Haleh Pourafzal (1956-2002) studied the poetry of Haféz all her life. She was the former education director of Oxfam America, the international relief and development agency. Together with her husband, Roger Montgomery, Pourafzal founded Circle of Scribes, a unique consulting firm that creates visionary approaches to growth and social change. Roger Montgomery is also the author of Twenty Count: Secret Mathematical System of the Aztec/Maya and lives in Berkeley, California.
