Book Description
This is a biography of Maulana Muhammad Ali (d. 1951), the world-famous author of several highly acclaimed books on Islam, including an English translation of the Holy Quran with commentary. Besides being a history of his life and work, and the history of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement, it also vividly portrays his burning desire to present to the modern and Western world the pristine Islam based directly on the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s teachings — a religion of peace, tolerance, reason and moderation, which seeks to win over people’s hearts and minds. The Mighty Striving with the Quran which the Maulana urged upon Muslims is the only way to restore the dignity of Islam in the light of the misunderstandings between Muslims and the West.

Striving in the Path of God
Author: Asma Afsaruddin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199908281
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In popular and academic literature, jihad is predominantly assumed to refer exclusively to armed combat, and martyrdom in the Islamic context is understood to be invariably of the military kind. This perspective, derived mainly from legal texts, has led to discussions of jihad and martyrdom as concepts with fixed, universal meanings divorced from the socio-political circumstances in which they have been deployed through the centuries. Asma Afsaruddin studies in a more holistic manner the range of significations that can be ascribed to the term jihad from the earliest period to the present and historically contextualizes the competing discourses that developed over time. Many assumptions about the military jihad and martyrdom in Islam are thereby challenged and deconstructed. A comprehensive interrogation of varied sources reveals early and multiple competing definitions of a word that in combination with the phrase fi sabil Allah translates literally to "striving in the path of God." Contemporary radical Islamists have appropriated this language to exhort their cadres to armed political opposition, which they legitimize under the rubric of jihad. Afsaruddin shows that the multivalent connotations of jihad and shahid recovered from the formative period lead us to question the assertions of those who maintain that belligerent and militant interpretations preserve the earliest and only authentic understanding of these two key terms. Retrieval of these multiple perspectives has important implications for our world today in which the concepts of jihad and martyrdom are still being fiercely debated.

Memoirs of a Not Altogether Shy Pornographer
Author: Bernard Wolfe
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1940436257
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
In this funny and telling portrait of the artist as a young pornographer, Bernard Wolfe chronicles his own unlikely entrance into the world of letters. The year was 1936, and Depression laden America had no great need for a Yale Phi Bete whose primary talent was for words. After working variously as a secretary–bodyguard for Leon Trotsky in Mexico, a cataloger of the Irving Fisher papers, and a hopelessly inept drill–grinder, Wolfe landed his first professional writing job: turning out piecework porn at $2.00 a page for an Oklahoma millionaire. He credited his pornographic efforts with teaching him to write to specified lengths while facing deadlines: "I acquired the work discipline of a professional writer, capable of a solid daily output."
