Book Description
This is a small booklet on the Biography of the noble companion Bilal bin Rabah compiled with an intention to gather for the Muslim reader an authentic compendium of narrations related to this very companion.It is indeed disappointing that in the absence of authentically established materials, Muslims are turning to false narratives and fictionally designed movies on the Seerah (biography) of the companion Bilal bin Rabah, disregarding the 'Islamic Principles' of verifying narrations or pieces of information before spreading them.This book is not an emotional narrative of the noble Sahabi's (companion of the Prophet) life, rather I've tried to gather as many authentic reports as possible related to Bilal's life alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It is up to the responsible reader to sit with a student of knowledge and derive benefits from the Ahadith (Hadiths) as and when necessary In Sha Allah in case he doesn't comprehend an issue. At times I have written summarized paragraphs to chalk out a background of the events surrounding a Hadith about Bilal's role in order to assist the readers' flow. I have tried to keep the 'summaries' as little as possible to avoid drifting away from the main 'protagonist' of this book, our own beloved Bilal bin Rabah . (pentopublish4)
Islam in Black America
Author: Edward E. Curtis IV
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791488594
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
Many of the most prominent figures in African-American Islam have been dismissed as Muslim heretics and cultists. Focusing on the works of five of these notable figures—Edward W. Blyden, Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, and Wallace D. Muhammad—author Edward E. Curtis IV examines the origin and development of modern African-American Islamic thought. Curtis notes that intellectual tensions in African-American Islam parallel those of Islam throughout its history—most notably, whether Islam is a religion for a particular group of people or whether it is a religion for all people. In the African-American context, such tensions reflect the struggle for black liberation and the continuing reconstruction of black identity. Ultimately, Curtis argues, the interplay of particular and universal interpretations of the faith can allow African-American Islam a vision that embraces both a specific group of people and all people.

Book Description
Today about 85 per cent of the world population of Muslims live in areas outside the Arab world, and due to population growth, missionary endeavours and migration, the number of Muslims in these areas is rising rapidly.

Dante:divine Comedy V1 Inferno P
Author: Dante Alighieri
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195087445
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
This new translation presents the Italian text of the Inferno, and, on facing pages, Robert Durling's new prose translation, which brings a new power and accuracy to the rendering of Dantes extraordinary vision of Hell, with all its terror, pathos, and sardonic humor, and its penetrating analyses of the psychology of sin and the ills that plague society. Readers will prize the directness and clarity, the rich expressiveness, and the rigorous accuracy of this contemporary prose translation, which preserves to an unparalleled degree the order and emphases of Dante's syntax, unhampered by any constraints of meter or rhyme. The Italian text has been newly edited with a view to the needs of American and English readers.Martinez' and Durling's Introduction and Notes are designed with the first-time reader of the poem in mind, but will be useful to others as well. The concise Introduction presents essential biographical and historical background and a discussion of the form of the poem. The Notes are more extensive than those in most translations currently available, and they contain much new material. In addition, sixteen short essays explore the autobiographical dimension of the poem, the problematic body analogy, the question of Christ's presence in Hell, and individual cantos that have been the subject of controversy, including those on homosexuality. There is an extensive bibliography, and the indexes (to foreign words, passages cited, proper names in the Notes, and proper names in the text) will make the volume particularly useful.Robert Turner's illustrations include detailed maps of Italy, clearly labeled diagrams of the cosmos and of the structure of Hell, and line drawings of objects and places mentioned in the poem.

African American Religion: A Very Short Introduction
Author: Eddie S. Glaude Jr.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199373132
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Since the first African American denomination was established in Philadelphia in 1818, churches have gone beyond their role as spiritual guides in African American communities and have served as civic institutions, spaces for education, and sites for the cultivation of individuality and identities in the face of limited or non-existent freedom. In this Very Short Introduction, Eddie S. Glaude Jr. explores the history and circumstances of African American religion through three examples: conjure, African American Christianity, and African American Islam. He argues that the phrase "African American religion" is meaningful only insofar as it describes how through religion, African Americans have responded to oppressive conditions including slavery, Jim Crow apartheid, and the pervasive and institutionalized discrimination that exists today. This bold claim frames his interpretation of the historical record of the wide diversity of religious experiences in the African American community. He rejects the common tendency to racialize African American religious experiences as an inherent proclivity towards religiousness and instead focuses on how religious communities and experiences have developed in the African American community and the context in which these developments took place. About the Series: Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible. Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how it has influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library. Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.
