Remembered by students for its liveliness and clarity, this set is filled with fascinating insights into Islam.
• Foundations of Islam: Insightful, intellectual presentation about Islam made to non-Muslim educators. Topics include: How the Quran Was Revealed and Compiled Pillars of Practice, Articles of Faith, Concept of Ihsan, Signs of the Last Day and more.
• Why Religion Matters: The Fate of the Human Spirit in an Age of Disbelief. Huston Smith, the author of the classic bestseller The World’s Religions, delivers a passionate, timely message: The human spirit is being suffocated by the dominant materialistic worldview of our times. Smith champions a society in which religion is once again treasured and authentically practiced as the vital source of human wisdom.
• Islam:Religion of Life: By Abdul Wadod Shalabi Edited by A.H. Murad 96pg. This is a very concise and profound introduction to the basic tenets of Islam. The book is replete with a rich and meaningful description of the Noble path. This book is written about Islam from within. It seeks to show something of the true nature of the faith, thereby challenging the accepted stereotypes which so badly compromise the present dialogue of civilizations. By explaining the significance of the formal practices and doctrines of the Islamic religion, it endeavors to build a bridge over what must be the deepest yet most irrational gulf ever to have cleaved apart two cultures. This book is written to introduce Islam to the Western reader, Muslim and non-Muslim. Its author, Dr. Abdul Wadod Shalabi, is a Muslim scholar trained at Al-Azhar University (Egypt) and who received his doctorate from Cambridge. The text was edited by Shaykh Abdal-Hakim Murad. The book also comes with a small preview booklet of Sidi Abdal Adheem (Peter) Sanders' upcoming photographic book 'In the Shade of the Tree'. These beautiful snapshots with their commentary are an excellent glimpse into the world of Islam. The pictures in the preview are of the Ka'ba, the Alhambra, Muslims in China, and others.
• Reason, Freedom, and Democracy in Islam: Essential Writings of Abdolkarim Soroush
