Book Description
Divine Way to Succeed in Life"the way of those on whom You (Allah) have bestowed Your Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray." (Surah Al-Fatihah 1: 7).God created people, gave them wisdom, free will, and guidance, and appointed each one of them, male or female, rich or poor, to be His trustee (if they will so) on earth and to serve Him by implementing His commands in managing their affairs, in order to build a just human society in this world. The Qur'an has been revealed for the guidance of humanity. It contains the instructions, which if followed will help people to establish a prosperous and peaceful human society based on justice and mutual respect. Life in this world is a test so that people may prove who can utilize one's life to its best purpose and potential. This requires that one should know one's duties and should live accordingly to the divine laws. God has provided the required guidance for the fulfillment of one's duties as God's trustee on earth. This guidance has been given within the human gene in the form of human conscience, and it has been taught and implemented by His messengers who lived their lives as human role models. The commands given in the Qur'an encompass all moral, economic, and socio-political areas of human activity that are required to be implemented to develop and protect human character and society. Before implementation, one must know what is required. This can be learned from the Qur'an.

Book Description
In 'Divine Way to Perfect Humanity', I have tried to explain that the main purpose of the Divine Guidance is to equip people with an attitude and habits which are helpful in improving their life of this world. How to be successful as God's trustee in managing our affairs as desired by God is given in the Qur'an. Divine Way assures life that is Good and Pure: "Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life (in this world), a life that is good and pure. and We will bestow on such their reward (in the Hereafter) according to the best of their actions" (Qur'an 16:97). How does Divine Way assure life that is good and pure? "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'I was sent only to perfect good character'" (Malik, Muwatta 47.1.8). How does God and His messenger achieved this task of human development? Divine objectives for human development could be highlighted as: The Guidance is- 1). to guide people in 'what is true humanity'; so that they can practice real humanity; - 2). to guide people to unite them into a single Human family; with common human values; and - 3). to develop people by their tests and trials to make their lives beneficial to them. To those who follow the guidance in their lives and communities, God will - 4). Bless those striving for the good of humanity; - 5). Forgive and bless good living to them; and - 6). Reward them for their good deeds.

Book Description
This volume of the Building Bridges Seminar, Power: Divine and Human, Christian and Muslim Perspectives, comprises pairs of essays by Christians and Muslims which introduce texts for dialogical study, plus the actual text-excerpts themselves. This new book goes far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for comparative theology, Power: Divine and Human is unique in that it takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in tone and structure, it is suitable for the non-specialist as well. Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture, interreligious relations, and political philosophy.

Book Description
Jews, Christians, and Muslims trace their roots to Abraham and yet it is a shock to many Bible readers that some of the characters and stories in their sacred text are also found in the pages of Islam's sacred text, the Qur'an. By exploring the relationship between the Bible and the Qur'an in Ishmael Instructs Isaac, John Kaltner challenges Bible readers to think about their sacred book in new, exciting ways. In doing so, he leads all to a better appreciation of Islam. After a brief overview of the text, themes, structure, and use of the Qur'an, Kaltner focuses on traditions that are shared with the Bible. He explains that the Bible and Qur'an contain many of the same themes, figures, and episodes. However, at times, there are significant differences in their descriptions of the same event or figure. By discussing such topics and figures as God, humanity, prophecy, creation, life after death, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mary, Kaltner examines the similarities and differences between the two texts. This comparative method allows readers to better appreciate both what is distinctive about Islam and what it shares with Judaism and Christianity. Jews and Christians view Isaac as the son of Abraham in whom the family line continued. Muslims, on the other hand, view Isaac's brother Ishmael as the rightful heir. This difference must not obscure what is held in common: a belief in the one God and a family - albeit distant - relationship. Written for undergraduate and seminary courses on Islam, the Qur'an, comparative religions, inter-religious dialogue, world scriptures, and biblical interpretation, Ishmael Instructs Isaac is also a useful resource for discussion groups in churches, synagogues, and mosques. Includes English translations of the Qur'anic texts discussed. John Kaltner, PhD, is assistant professor of religious studies at Rhodes College where he teaches courses in the Bible and Islam. He has worked in the Middle East with the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America.

Book Description
In 1105, six years after the first crusaders from Europe conquered Jerusalem, a Damascene Muslim jurisprudent named ’Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) publicly dictated an extended call to the military jihad (holy war) against the European invaders. Entitled Kitab al-Jihad (The Book of the Jihad), al-Sulami’s work both summoned his Muslim brethren to the jihad and instructed them in the manner in which it ought to be conducted, covering topics as diverse as who should fight and be fought, treatment of prisoners and plunder, and the need for participants to fight their own inner sinfulness before turning their efforts against the enemy. Al-Sulami’s text is vital for a complete understanding of the Muslim reaction to the crusades, providing the reader with the first contemporary record of Muslim preaching against the crusaders. However, until recently only a small part of the text has been studied by modern scholars, as it has remained for the most part an unedited manuscript. In this book Niall Christie provides a complete edition and the first full English translation of the extant sections (parts 2, 8, 9 and 12) of the manuscript of al-Sulami’s work, making it fully available to modern readers for the first time. These are accompanied by an introductory study exploring the techniques that the author uses to motivate his audience, the precedents that influenced his work, and possible directions for future study of the text. In addition, an appendix provides translations of jihad sermons by Ibn Nubata al-Fariqi (d. 985), a preacher from Asia Minor whose rhetorical style was highly influential in the development of al-Sulami’s work.
