Book Description
Millions of people in the world are silently suffering from anxiety, depression, self-doubt, fear, loneliness, and confusion. There is a void that is felt, which we try to fill with all kinds of things, but we never feel whole. This book is for survivors of invisible abuse who want to overcome trauma and emotional abuse and who are looking to heal and thrive in every aspect of life. The Muslim Thriver is for those hoping to reach a state of equilibrium throughout the mind, body, and soul and gain some clarity on what might be the cause for all the internal chaos. This book aims to help people deal with toxic relationships with ihsaan (excellence). My hope through this book is to help others find their authentic selves (fitrah), purpose, and live their lives to their fullest potential, in the way Allah (God) has planned it. InshaAllah (God-willing).

Pages : 244
Book Description
If you were on your deathbed, and you think about your life in retrospect, what would it look like? What would you regret deferring in your personal growth journey? What legacy would you see yourself leaving behind? Would you have dared to make a difference in the lives of others? Would you have dared to strive within your capacity to be the best that you were created (by Allaah) to be? Would you have dared to stand for what you believed in? These thought-provoking questions are at the core of the eye-opening and awe-inspiring book, DARE to THRIVE: The Muslim Woman's Guide to a Remarkable personal evolution. This book was born out of Umm Noorayn's passion for giving Muslim women a helping hand in living mindfully. In the book, Umm Noorayn deeply explains why Muslim women need to be obsessed with their personal growth in all spheres of life - emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, financially, and more. She then presented actionable steps-backed up with evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah-to explain exactly how Muslim women can dare to thrive in the journey of life (while preparing for the hereafter). So, if you're ready to let go of your traumatic experience(s), live more authentically, speak your truth, set healthy boundaries, live your life from a place of emotional intelligence, become more connected to your Creator, and embrace personal growth the Muslim woman way, this book is for you. Grab your copy of Dare to Thrive (Plus a FREE Dare to Thrive workbook inside). "I find her words soothing and yet authoritative. She gives no room to wallow in an exhaustive self pity. She merges you with the words of your Creator and succeeds in churning out a unique invisible strength you actually always had, but never harnessed." (Mariam Ashraff, Educator) "Masha Allah. DARE TO THRIVE is all kinds of amazing: from the warm, direct and humorous way the Author addresses her readers, creating a kind of warmth in our hearts and making listening (to her advice) and relating (to cited experiences) very easy and interesting. This book shouldn't be read in one sitting. A slow and gradual reading would do. Else, one would miss the little gems of words that make the greatest of impact. If you're a Muslimah looking for a way to grow and develop yourself spiritually, financially, emotionally and psychologically, DARE TO THRIVE is certainly the book for you. The book for all! Jazaki Allahu Khayran to the Author." (F. I. Uthman, Storyteller, poet) "There are too many sweet spots in it for me and as someone who's on the journey of personal growth herself, consciously choosing to do good over the desires of the heart, making the decision to forgive rather than retaliate or revenge or prove a point, this book came in just at the right time. Every new chapter proves to be better than the next. I told myself "this is my favourite chapter" from the very first chapter till the last. Every hadith, quote, Quranic verse was a hit back to back. For people like me who have been blessed with a short attention span, this book is exactly the kind of non-fiction we need. It is more like having a conversation with someone we vibe with, someone on the same energy level as us, very relatable and filled with pun in a way that makes over a hundred pages easy to read and quickly at that with a smile on your face from the beginning till the very end. It never got slow or boring at all. (Musa Juwairiyyah, Medical Laboratory Scientist) Click the buy now button above, and start your personal growth journey the Muslim woman way!

Islam without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty
Author: Mustafa Akyol
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393081974
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
“A delightfully original take on…the prospects for liberal democracy in the broader Islamic Middle East.”—Matthew Kaminski, Wall Street Journal As the Arab Spring threatens to give way to authoritarianism in Egypt and reports from Afghanistan detail widespread violence against U.S. troops and women, news from the Muslim world raises the question: Is Islam incompatible with freedom? In Islam without Extremes, Turkish columnist Mustafa Akyol answers this question by revealing the little-understood roots of political Islam, which originally included both rationalist, flexible strains and more dogmatic, rigid ones. Though the rigid traditionalists won out, Akyol points to a flourishing of liberalism in the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire and the unique “Islamo-liberal synthesis” in present-day Turkey. As he powerfully asserts, only by accepting a secular state can Islamic societies thrive. Islam without Extremes offers a desperately needed intellectual basis for the reconcilability of Islam and liberty.

Green Deen
Author: Ibrahim Abdul-Matin
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
ISBN: 1605099465
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
A Muslim environmentalist explores the fascinating intersection of environmentalism and Islam. Muslims are compelled by their religion to praise the Creator and to care for their community. But what is not widely known is that there are deep and long-standing connections between Islamic teachings and environmentalism. In this groundbreaking book, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin draws on research, scripture, and interviews with Muslim Americans to trace Islam’s preoccupation with humankind’s collective role as stewards of the Earth. Abdul-Matin points out that the Prophet Muhammad declared “the Earth is a mosque.” Using the concept of Deen, which means “path” or “way” in Arabic, Abdul-Matin offers dozens of examples of how Muslims can follow, and already are following, a Green Deen in four areas: “waste, watts (energy), water, and food.”

Elite Origins of Democracy and Development in the Muslim World
Author: Michael T. Rock
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003813348
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Using an elite consensus/conflict analytical frame, this book examines why some majority Muslim countries perform so much better at democracy and/or development than others, questioning received wisdoms that Islam, authoritarianism, and underdevelopment go together. Identifying four distinct democracy and development outcomes in the Muslim world, four case studies are interrogated to show that there is more variability in democracy and development outcomes in Muslim majority countries than macro-historical studies and aggregate data have shown. By demonstrating that democracy and development outcomes in Muslim countries are the consequence of elite conflict and elite consensus, rather than the precepts or institutions of Islam, the book places the competition for power among contending elites, rather than Islam, at the center of the story of democracy and development in the Muslim world. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of political development/development studies, democratization and autocratization studies, democracy promotion, and more broadly comparative politics.

Reopening Muslim Minds
Author: Mustafa Akyol
Publisher: St. Martin's Essentials
ISBN: 1250256070
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A fascinating journey into Islam's diverse history of ideas, making an argument for an "Islamic Enlightenment" today In Reopening Muslim Minds, Mustafa Akyol, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and opinion writer for The New York Times, both diagnoses “the crisis of Islam” in the modern world, and offers a way forward. Diving deeply into Islamic theology, and also sharing lessons from his own life story, he reveals how Muslims lost the universalism that made them a great civilization in their earlier centuries. He especially demonstrates how values often associated with Western Enlightenment — freedom, reason, tolerance, and an appreciation of science — had Islamic counterparts, which sadly were cast aside in favor of more dogmatic views, often for political ends. Elucidating complex ideas with engaging prose and storytelling, Reopening Muslim Minds borrows lost visions from medieval Muslim thinkers such as Ibn Rushd (aka Averroes), to offer a new Muslim worldview on a range of sensitive issues: human rights, equality for women, freedom of religion, or freedom from religion. While frankly acknowledging the problems in the world of Islam today, Akyol offers a clear and hopeful vision for its future.
