Book Description
The timeless insight of Islam’s sacred writings can enrich your own spiritual journey. For many in the West, the teachings of the Qur’an often are enshrouded in mystery and fear. Yet Islam’s holy book gave birth to one of the most powerful and enlightened civilizations the world has ever seen. By the sixteenth century, Muslim culture stretched from India to Africa to Europe, preserving with it the ancient learning that helped spawn the Renaissance. With its interwoven ideas of faith and reason, justice and mercy, the path of Islam—which literally means “surrendering to God’s will”—offers a uniquely focused and balanced approach to living life with a profound awareness of God. With gentleness and insight, Sohaib N. Sultan leads you through the central themes of both the Qur’an and the collected sayings of Prophet Muhammad, known as hadith. These teachings dispel common misconceptions about Muslim beliefs and offer practical guidance for your own spiritual journey, from understanding the merciful nature of God; to cultivating peace and justice in the self, family, and society; to answering questions about the afterlife and how to attain it. Now you can experience the wisdom of Qur’anic teachings even if you have no previous knowledge of Islam or Muslim writings. Insightful yet unobtrusive facing-page commentary explains the texts for you, allowing you to enter into the path of surrender to God.

Universal Qur'an
Author: Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri

ISBN: 9781928329213
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
In our contemporary world where race, religion, culture and other human characteristics meet, connect, fuse, overlap and clash, so many challenges regarding faith, belief and metaphysical issues present themselves. The Abrahamic traditions are the result of thousands of prophets and messengers coming to guide humankind which culminated with the Prophet Muhammad, whose gift of the Qur'an is of universal value. The Qur'ans miracle is that its verses repeatedly reveal the seamless connection between infinite, unseen, cosmic lights with finite, relative, and limited earthly consciousness. This selection of key verses are universally useful for all times and for all people for every moment in the human journey. This book presents Qur'anic Universal renderings that connects the absolute and the relative in a unified voice that transforms and transports the reader to the eternal reality that is both transcendent and immanent. It is an essential reference for the inner technology guiding towards transformation that echoes in the hearts of the sincere seeker. - Adnan al Adnani, author of Lights of Consciousness: A Sufi view of Science and Spirituality Shaykh Fadhlalla's wise commentary and rendering of the verses enable the reader, whether newcomer or more experienced, to clearly understand the Qur'anic map and guide to life. This little book opens a door allowing us to hear a wake-up call for all humanity, regardless of belief or philosophy of life. - Dr Neil Douglas-Klotz, author of The Sufi Book of Life and A Little Book of Sufi Stories

Reflections on the Qur'an
Author: M. Fethullah Gülen
Publisher: Tughra Books
ISBN: 1597846589
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
The Qur’an is believed by Muslims to be the final word of God revealed to humanity through Prophet Muhammad speaking to all humans for all times. This nature of Islam’s holy book brings along a continuous study of it so that its injunctions are reinterpreted according to constantly changing times and conditions of our world. This book presents such interpretations from a respected Muslim scholar who explains verses for the modern age. Gülen is well-informed of the classical exegetical discipline; nevertheless in this book he keeps his explanations short and to the point, not to tire away readers. The book does not cover all the verses of the Qur’an, but selected ones, those relate most to the human existence on earth, life after death, and stories revealed in the holy book

Opening the Qur'an
Author: Walter H. Wagner
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
"Walter H. Wagner "opens" the Qur'an by offering a comprehensive and extraordinarily readable, step-by-step introduction to the text, making it accessible to students, teachers, clergy, and general readers interested in Islam and Islam's holy Book." "Wagner first places the prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an, and the early Muslim community in their historical, geographical, and theological contexts. This background is a basis for interpreting the Qur'an and understanding its role in later Muslim developments, as well as for relationships between Muslims, Jews, and Christians. He then looks in detail at specific passages, moving from cherished devotional texts to increasingly difficult and provocative subjects. The selected bibliography serves as a resource for further reading and study. Woven into the discussion are references to Islamic beliefs and practices. Wagner shows great sensitivity toward the challenges to non-Muslims who attempt to interpret the Qur'an, and sympathy for the long struggle to build bridges of mutual trust and honest appreciation between Muslims and non-Muslims."--Jacket.

Prophets in the Quran
Author: Brannon M. Wheeler
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 9780826449573
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
What was the name of Noah's son who did not survive the Flood? Why do Pharaoh and Haman build the Tower of Babel? For what reasons does Moses travel to the ends of the Earth? Who is the 'Horned-One' who holds back Gog and Magog until the Day of Judgement? These are some of the questions answered in the oral sources and Quran commentaries on the stories of the prophets as they are understood by Muslims. Designed as an introduction to the Quran with particular emphasis on parallels with Biblical tradition, this book provides a concise but detailed overview of Muslim prophets from Adam to Muhammad. Each of the chapters is organized around a particular prophet, including an English translation of the relevant verses of the Quran and a wide selection of classical, medieval and modern Muslim commentaries on those verses. Quran commentaries include references to Sunni and Shi'i sources from Spain, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. An extensive glossary provides an annotated list of all scholarly transmitters and cited texts with suggestions for further reading.This is an excellent book for undergraduate courses, and students in divinity and seminary programmes. Comparisons between the Quran and Bible, and among Jewish, Christian and Islamic exegesis are highlighted. Oral sources, references adapted from apocryphal and pseudepigraphical works, and inter-religious dialogue are all evident throughout these stories of the prophets. This material shows how the Quran and its interpretation are integral to a fuller and more discerning understanding of the Bible and its place in the history of Western religion.
