Paperback. Zustand: New. In 680 C.E., a small band of the Prophet Muhammads family and their followers, led by his grandson, Husain, rose up in a rebellion against the ruling caliph, Yazid. The family and its supporters, hopelessly outnumbered, were massacred at Karbala, in modern-day Iraq. The story of Karbala is the cornerstone of institutionalized devotion and mourning for millions of Shii Muslims. Apart from its appeal to the Shii community, invocations of Karbala have also come to govern mystical and reformist discourses in the larger Muslim world. Indeed, Karbala even serves as the archetypal resistance and devotional symbol for many non-Muslims. Until now, though, little scholarly attention has been given to the widespread and varied employment of the Karbala event. In Reliving Karbala, Syed Akbar Hyder examines the myriad ways that the Karbala symbol has provided inspiration in South Asia, home to the worlds largest Muslim population. Rather than a unified reading of Islam, Hyder reveals multiple, sometimes conflicting, understandings of the meaning of Islamic religious symbols like Karbala. He ventures beyond traditional, scriptural interpretations to discuss the ways in which millions of very human adherents express and practice their beliefs. By using a panoramic array of sources, including musical performances, interviews, nationalist drama, and other literary forms, Hyder traces the evolution of this story from its earliest historical origins to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Today, Karbala serves as a celebration of martyrdom, a source of personal and communal identity, and even a tool for political protest and struggle. Hyder explores how issues related to gender, genre, popular culture, class, and migrancy bear on the cultivation of religious symbols. He assesses the manner in which religious language and identities are negotiated across contexts and continents. At a time when words like martyrdom, jihad, and Shiism are being used and misused for political reasons, this book provides much-needed scholarly redress. Through his multifaceted examination of this seminal event in Islamic history, Hyder offers an original, complex, and nuanced view of religious symbols.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Some forces don't announce themselves. They just slowly become the way you see.You built the career. You hit the milestones. From the outside, it looks like everything is working. And yet somewhere beneath the surface, a quieter question keeps surfacing: is this it Fourteen centuries ago, in a lamplit room in the desert city of Kufa, a young merchant asked that same question. He had visited the homes of the wealthy, sat in the courts of the powerful, met scholars whose learning filled rooms, and left each encounter with the same unsettling feeling: these people had everything, and almost none of them seemed at peace.The answer he received that night named five forces, wealth, power, knowledge, praise, and youth, that share a hidden quality. Each is genuinely good. Each is worth having. And each, left unexamined, can quietly reshape how you see the world until the life you are chasing stops being a life you would actually choose.The 5 Intoxicants brings that ancient conversation into the present. Weaving together Islamic philosophy, Stoic wisdom, and contemporary psychology, it offers a clear-eyed look at the forces that distort human judgment, and a practical path back to a life lived on purpose.In this book, you will discover: - Why achieving your goals so often produces emptiness instead of satisfaction, and what that emptiness is actually telling you- How wealth, power, and praise quietly merge with your sense of who you are, until losing them feels like losing yourself- The difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why expertise can become a cage- What the world's wisdom traditions, from Ali ibn Abi Talib to Marcus Aurelius to Seneca, understood about meaning that modern culture has forgotten- Five practices for staying clear in a world engineered to keep you distractedThis is not a book that asks you to abandon ambition, reject success, or retreat from the world. It asks something harder and more valuable: that you see clearly what is shaping your choices, and why, before another decade slips past in pursuit of a destination that keeps receding.Written with the honesty of someone who has lived through every chapter he describes, The 5 Intoxicants is for anyone who has ever reached the thing they worked years for and felt the strange quiet that followed.Stop gathering the tools. Start doing the work they were meant for.The lamp in Kufa went out fourteen centuries ago. The work it began is still waiting.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Policy says hold it thirty days. He holds it ninety. Nobody has ever asked him why.For thirty-one years, Moss Iqbal has kept what other people left behind at Chicago Union Station. A wedding ring in a potato chip bag. A child's inhaler. Four skeins of yarn for a baby who hadn't been born yet. Every object is logged in a hardbound ledger, held long past the point where anyone should reasonably keep it, on the chance that somebody comes back.Because that is what Moss believes, and he has built a life on it: things wait. A thing put down is not a thing lost.Then one August they send him an apprentice. Marisol is nineteen, she is from Little Village, and she does not want to be there. Inside a month she is better at the job than he is. Inside six she has asked him the one question he has spent twenty-eight years not answering.Because under his desk is a duffel bag that has been there since 1998. It has never been in the logbook. His daughter left it there the day she walked out of his life, and he has never once opened it.Now the railroad is closing the office. Everything on the shelves has to go somewhere. And a man who has spent three decades keeping other people's things safe has eight weeks to find out whether he was guarding them, or hiding behind them.A novel about the things we can't keep and can't put down, told across one final year in a basement room where the lost things wait: a ring that was never his to return, a letter written and never sent, a phone that rings at the same time every evening, and a man who comes every Thursday and never claims a thing.For readers of A Man Called Ove, The Midnight Library, and The Keeper of Lost Things: a quiet, funny, devastating story about a father, a daughter, and a room where nothing is gone.…
