Islamic pluralism. Appendix. Biographical notes. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. The suicide bombings on July 7 2005 in underground stations of London left the world stunned angry and uncomprehending. The shocking situation of devastating September 11 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon of United States had already created on atmosphere of hatred against the followers of Islam. Since these horrifying acts were committed in the name of Islam the western media the politicians the bureaucrats and even the citizens portrayed having a crusading mentality of the past being aggravated by the recent so called jihadist activities throughout the world a religion that was reactionary anti modern inhumane undemocratic and ethno centric that left no scope for any democratization dialogue and pluralism. In this authoritative book the author successfully tries to seek the roots of this coloured image of Islam not only in the orientalists and western scholars conceptualizations inherent in the crusading factors but also in the shortcomings of the methodologies applied by the classical political theorists of Islam and modern Muslim intellectuals as well. The crisis lies in the thought in the minds in the intellectualism as well as in the classical orthodoxy as the book analyses. The scholar explicitly explains the pristine teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah relating to various aspects of Islamic political thought such as secularism socialism nationalism democracy modernization and pluralism and evaluates the reflections of contemporary Muslim Ulama reformers activists and revivalist intellectuals. He providing an honest critique to Islamic political legacy presents a blue print to Islamize the discipline of political science in the contemporary world in order to cope with the incoming challenges of the twenty first century. 287 pp.

Hardbound. Condizione: As New. New. Contents Acknowledgements. Table of contents. Introduction Shura Origin and background. 1. Shura in theory and practice under the Prophet (SAW). 2. Evolution of Shura under the four Caliphs. 3. Legal status of Shura. 4. Shura election and organization. 5. Participation of women and non Muslims. 6. Functions of Shura. Conclusion. Glossary of Islamic terms. General glossary. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. Drawing on his two decades of research across the breath of the literature available in Arabic Urdu and English languages the author explores the development and works out the feasibility of the democratic Islamic polity institutionalised in Islamic Shura which was successfully implemented and strengthened by the Holy Prophet of Islam and his rightly guided Caliphs in the golden period of history and which is still updated relevant and remarkable and calls upon the Muslim and the non Muslim world as well to experience it gracefully. Islamic Shura as discussed in this timely and carefully researched work represents a highly democratic set up of politics and governance in Islam. The book examines most of the classical political thinkers and modern Muslim intellectuals and activists on the theme of Islam and democracy and portrays a humane democratic Islamic political system based on Shura. It also compares it critically with the modern executives of the world and traces honestly an Islamic system of government based on popular consent and democracy which is most liberal and wholeheartedly welcoming to other cultures and religions in its own paradigm. The book also emphasises on the emergent need to reformulate the democratic Islam in the light of the two permanent sources of Islam Qur'an and Sunnah coping with the contemporary world. 470 pp.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. Contents: I. Rabia'h al-Adawiyya: 1. Concept of love in Sufism. 2. Sufistic Ishq and the quranic Hubb. II. Hujwiri: 3. Kashf al-Mahjub. 4. An exemplary rendering of the Kashf Al-Mahjub in Urdu. III. Sirhindi: 5. Defining relations between Walayah and Nubuwah. Notes. Index. One of the most advanced and also the highly debatable branch of Islamic sciences, the tasawwuf or Sufism, had been used, or misused, to justify the teachings, thoughts and practices opposed to the Quran and Sunnah, by some of the revered Sufis not only in the later periods of Islamic history but even by some of the earlier great scholars of the subject also. Now one of the leading Islamic scholars of India examines and explains it in this provocative and necessary work. The authoritative scholars of Islam in the modern world named Dr. Obaidullah Fahad one of the most important writers of the twenty-first century India. A Muslim intellectual and prolific author, he has won global repute for his reflections on Islam and the contemporary Islamic movements in both the traditional and modern circles. In Islamic critique of Sufism he evaluates Rabia al-a dawiyya, Ali Hujwiri and Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi and analyses their mystical thoughts in the paradigm provided by the Quran.

Hardbound. Condizione: As New. New. Contents Preface. 1. 7/7 London Blasts and the after. 2. Western and American response. 3. Indian reaction. 4. Muslim apologists. 5. Islamists arguments. 6. Islamic justifications examined. 7. Resistance vs. terrorism. Glossary. Index. The study concentrates on the 7/7 London Bombings and the far reaching consequences upon the Muslim world as well as the west. Most of the Islamophobic writers journalist politicians and social activists treated the tragedy as that of 9/11 an excuse to launch afresh a movement to hurt the feelings of Muslims and to flash derogatory remarks against the religion of Islam itself. The book honestly unveils the sharp reactions against GSAVE (Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism) and GWOT (Global War on Terror) made by the unbiased westerners and Indians as well and is understandably critical. Dr. Fahad's attitude towards the ultra secularist/apologetic Muslims is clearly aggressive. These pseudo scholars hiding the truth that bloodshed is always counter productive offer a good example of cheap opportunism do not dare to criticise the foreign policy of the west they instead try their utmost to hijack the discourse on Islam and terrorism as the book analyses. The present work also examines the Islamic justifications of violence. It differentiates between terrorism and resistance in the law perspective and critically evaluates in detail the position of Sayyid Qutb most popularly known to Muslims as Godfather of Resistance and not the Champion of Terrorism as the west wrongly perceives him. 316 pp.

This book offers a collection of papers rnostly presented in the seminars attended by the august gatherings from varying faiths and schools of thought on the issues of culture science and violence concentrating on the Quranic approach that calls the humanity to be moderate and balanced in all the thoughts and actions as well as contributory to human civilization The Holy Quran has been labelled by both the crusading Europe and Hindutva brigadiers as a "source of hatred violence and fanaticism" Even the "enlightened" orient lists and the westernized Muslim intellectuals alike propagate a jihadist Quran that provokes terrorism and obscurantism quoting the holy verses selectively This work academically responds to all these politically-motivated verslons and honestly elaborates the progressive humane and ref ormatory teachings of the Quran in a convincing way 270 pp.
