Book Description
Excerpt from The Improvement of Human Reason, Exhibited in the Life of Hayy Ibn Yakzan: Written in Arabic Above 600 Years Ago Now, my Dear Friend, I do not here, when I speak of the Ideas of the Contemplative, mean what they learn from the study of Physics; nor by the notions of those who have attained to the union, what they learn from the study of Metaphysics (for these two ways of learning are vastly different, and must by no means be confounded). But what I mean by the Ideas of the Contemplative is what is attained by the study of Meta physics of which kind is that which Ibn Baja understood; and in the apprehension of these things this condition is necessarily required, viz. That it be manifestly and clearly true and then there is a middle sort of speculation, between that, and those who have attained to the union.

The Improvement of Human Reason - Exhibited in the Life of Hai Ebn Yokdhan
Author: Ibn Tufail
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781987607475
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Arabic philosopher and polymath Ibn Tufail explains human learning through fictional biography; in doing so, he demonstrates how humans can progress in the sciences and in reasoning. Hayy ibn Yaqzan (also rendered as Hai Ebn Yokdhan) is a young boy growing up in the wilderness. Learning survival skills while still small, he learns to thrive in his environment by mimicking the behaviors, actions and traits of animals - with repeated practice, he learns how to cook, craft, and make clothing. By observing the heavens, he arrives at great astronomical knowledge, while his experiences eventually hone a mind brimming with scientific and philosophic inquiry. At the conclusion of Yaqzan's biography, he is a mature man in his late forties who has enjoyed human contact for some nineteen years. After overcoming the surprise of not being the only human in existence, he vows to teach others the unique knowledge which he acquired independently. The final stage of his quest; sharing and passing on his distinctive learning to others, is triumphantly fulfilled. This translation of Ibn Tufail's superb text was performed by Simon Ockley, a 17th century academic who specialized in the study of near-Eastern scholars. Celebrated as a gem of Arabic philosophy and wisdom, The Improvement of Human Reason remains a lesser-known but highly appreciated text in the history of Middle Eastern thought.

A Middle East Mosaic
Author: Bernard Lewis
Publisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 0307430421
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
In times of war and in peace, from the earliest days of the Roman Empire to our own, Westerners have journeyed to the lands of the middle east, bringing back accounts of their adventures and impressions. Yet it was never a one way exchange. From the first Arab embassy to the Vikings in the 9th century to the internet musings of the Taliban, A Middle East Mosaic collects a rich, boisterous literature of cultural exchange. We see the American Revolution through the eyes of a Moroccan Ambassador and the French Revolution through a series of Imperial Ottoman proclamations. We find surprising portraits of Napoleon ("a brigand chief"), TE Lawrence and Ataturk. We learn what George Washington and Machiavelli through t of Turkish politics and hear Flaubert and Thackeray rail against eastern crime and punishment. We peer into Voltaire's business correspondence and follow the footsteps of Mark Twain, Richard Burton, Gertrude Bell and Ibn Battutta, the Marco Polo of the east. Great discoveries are recorded - an Egyptian Ambassador is introduced to electricity and dismisses the spectacle as "frankish trickery;" another pronounces the invention of a secure mail system most useful for assignations. We enter the harem with a 16th century organ maker and emerge with Ottoman reform. It was not until the sixteenth century that the first middle eastern rulers entered into diplomatic relations with European rulers, but trade often precede diplomatic relations. Business men from the days of the crusades against Saladin to the oil prospecting of Samuel Cox and his descendents have seen great possibilities in the markets of the middle east. And throughout the centuries we have been united by war. We witness the outbreak of the Crimean war with Karl Marx and enter Egypt with Napoleon. We observe Arab customs with George Patton and visit Baghdad and Cairo with George F. Kennan in the second world war. When Usama bin Ladin rails against "Jews and crusaders" occupying the holy land, he is rehearsing a grievance with a long history. This symphony of voices, full of wit and wisdom, spite and wonder, suspicion, befuddlement and occasional insight, is ordered and explained by our foremost living historian of the middle east. The fruit of a lifetime of scholarship and erudition, A Middle East Mosaic is a dazzling capstone to a brilliant career. In a spirited reappraisal of western views of the east and eastern views of the west over the last two thousand years, Bernard Lewis gives us a brilliant over-view of 2,000 years of commerce, diplomacy, war and exploration. This book is a delight, a treasury of stories drawn from letters, diaries and histories, but also from unpublished archives and previously untranslated accounts. Diplomats and interpreters, slaves, soldiers, pilgrims and missionaries, princes and spies, businessmen, doctors and priests all pour forth their stories of the people and events that shaped history. A Middle East Mosaic cannot fail to appeal to anyone with an appetite for history and a curiosity about the vagaries of cultural exchange.

The Syrian Uprising and Signs Of The Hour
Author: Sayyid Rami al Rifai
Publisher: Sunnah Muakadah
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
The world will soon see change, this book discusses those changes and covers the end of America, the end of the Arabs, the rise of Europe and the Mahdi's Army who will face them. It outlines this future from both the Islamic and Christian religions and shows how they point towards the same future. Many of Islams major scholars have written works on the Signs of the Hour, in which they have arranged the narrations (ahadith) in the chronological order they understood the events would occur in. The Prophet (saws) said: “The signs shall appear one after the other like the beads on a string follow one another (when the string is cut).” The Signs began to appear in our lifetime and have been following each other one by one, this is clear by the acceptance of most scholars that the minor signs of the hour have all been fulfilled and we are about to witness it’s first major sign. Syria has been mentioned by the prophet (saws) in relation to events that will mark the nearness of the hour. This Book, now in it's 2nd edition and largely expanded, looks at these narration’s and identifies the events the prophet (saws) spoke about, chronologically arranging them to give us the timeline the prophet (saws) intended us to have; Abu Zaid Al-Ansaaree (ra) said, “The Prophet led us in the morning prayer, after which he climbed the pulpit and addressed us until Dhuhr (noon). He descended, prayed 'Asr (the late afternoon prayer), and then climbed the pulpit again, speaking to us until the setting of the sun. He spoke to us about what was and what will be; he informed us (thereof) and made us memorize (that information).” (Ahmad) Hudhayfah (ra) said: "The Prophet stood up one day to speak to us, and told us everything that was going to happen until the Hour, and left nothing unsaid. Some of the listeners learnt it by heart, and some forgot it; these friends of mine learnt it. I do not remember it completely, but sometimes it springs to mind, just as one might remember and recognize the face of a man whom one had forgotten, when one sees him." (Abu Dawud, Muslim) This Book is an entirely new work, dealing with the subject matter from a modern context. Previous works regarding the signs of the Hour have been simple translations of Imam Ibn Kathir's book's with out much being done to update his chronology that is now hundreds of years old and to identify the events he mentioned. This Book takes the accounts of the prophet and identifies them giving an entirely more accurate chronology than was previously possible, from this effort the clearest picture yet emerges of the state of the world and its future, which we have corroborated with multiple sources all essentially saying the same thing. No. Pgs: 418 A4, Approx. Table Of Contents: 1 The Hour Has Cast It’s Shadow 2 From The Prophet’s Time To Ours 3 Signs Of The Hour 4 Syria The Land Of Mercy 5 A Time Frame Between The War In Syria and The Mahdi (r.a) 6 The Era Of The Duhaima (Sep 11th) The Worst Fitnah Before The Dajjaal 7 Ahadith On The Sanctions Of Iraq and The Sanctions To Be Placed On Syria and Then Egypt 8 The Rule Of The Ruwaybidah - The Corruptors Of Society 9 The Khawarij: The Name Of The Most Evil People In Our Time 10 The Events Leading Up To The Emergence Of Imam Mahdi 11 America In Previous Scriptures 12 America The Beginning Of The End 13 The End Of America 14 The People Of The Maghreb and The People Of The East 15 Imam Mahdi and The Great War Armageddon 16 The Dajjaal His Followers and His Place Of Emergence 17 The Trial Of The Dajjaal (Anti Christ) Research Notes and Related Material 1 Human Physiology and It’s Relationship To Baraka 2 What Is The Unseen World and Where Is It: Explaining The Technical Terminology Of The Scholars 3 The Jewish Origins Of The Pashtun and Surrounding Areas 4 Ahadith Not Chronologically Arranged In This Work 5 The 30 Dajjaal’s 6 Nu’aym Ibn Hammad (ra) 7 Methodology: Chronological Order Of Ahadith 8 The Book Of Revelations Continued 9 The End of America Continued 10 The Dream Of the Prophet Daniel: The Ottomans, The British and America 11 Daniel Interprets The Dream Of Nebuchadnezzar 12 Timeline: Modern Islamic History 13 Divide and Conquer: Heretical Separatists In Islamic lands 14 Nationalism Is Created In Egypt 15 The Islamist Call To Westernize The Wests Call To Islamise 16 The Maqasid (Objectives) Of Shariah: A Closer Look 17 Media Snippets 18 Dua
