Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In a Western world suddenly acutely interested in Islam, one question has been repeatedly heard above the din: where are the Muslim reformers? With this ambitious volume, Tariq Ramadan firmly establishes himself as one of Europe's leading thinkers and one of Islam's most innovative and important voices. As the number of Muslims living in the West grows, the question of what it means to be a Western Muslim becomes increasingly important to the futures of both Islam and the West. While the media are focused on radical Islam, Ramadan claims, a silent revolution is sweeping Islamic communities in the West, as Muslims actively seek ways to live in harmony with their faith within a Western context. French, English, German, and American Muslims--women as well as men--are reshaping their religion into one that is faithful to the principles of Islam, dressed in European and American cultures, and definitively rooted in Western societies. Ramadan's goal is to create an independent Western Islam, anchored not in the traditions of Islamic countries but in the cultural reality of the West. He begins by offering a fresh reading of Islamic sources, interpreting them for a Western context and demonstrating how a new understanding of universal Islamic principles can open the door to integration into Western societies. He then shows how these principles can be put to practical use. Ramadan contends that Muslims can-indeed must-be faithful to their principles while participating fully in the civic life of Western secular societies. Grounded in scholarship and bold in its aims, Western Muslims and the Future of Islam offers a striking vision of a new Muslim Identity, one which rejects once and for all the idea that Islam must be defined in opposition to the West.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 42, 38 p. ; 21 cm. In English & Arabic. 'It is probably difficult to encompass the entire sphere of cookery and cuisine throughout the history of Islamic civilisation. The landscape is vast, the actors are countless and their tastes endlessly varied; the nature of the land is uneven and its bounty uncertain and irregular, with abundance and scarcity locked in perpetual rivalry. This relatively brief talk will not even attempt a rough outline of the subject of food, cookery and dining in the Muslim world; this paper is to present a preliminary framework for a research project that would deal with all elements related, directly and indirectly, to the culture of food. Arab-Islamic civilisation has bequeathed many a document on the subject. The research should embrace broader and more remote topics such as agriculture, the source of food provided by the land, the organised trade that brought rare spices from eastern Asia to the Arab world along established land and sea routes, tableware and its manufacture from different kinds of wood, copper and pottery and the identification of the properties of individual plants and spices used in medicine and food.'.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 4, 361 pages in Arabic ; 25 cm. In this book, the reader will find a compilation of papers presenting and analysing the methodological steps that those engaged in the critical edition of literature manuscripts should follow. The book stresses the need for exceptional attention during the first stage of the editing process, which is gathering and examining the manuscript copies of the text to be edited. It also explains the risks in altering or making a mistake in the title. In addition, this book emphasises the necessity of adhering to the methodological rules in properly documenting the text, and authenticating its attribution to the author. This is to be accomplished by following up the sources cited by the work, those quoted within the text itself, and other works who quoted the text elsewhere, and subjecting them to analysis, basing the outcomes on the gathered evidence.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 444 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. English edition. The lectures in this book include in-depth discussions revolving around defining the concept of editing manuscripts, and specifying the relevant approaches in the discipline of humanities, as well as the technologies available for resurrecting and restoring lost texts. Some studies discussed the importance of codicology and its fine practical applications that are a critical aid to the editor, while providing a model for the codicological treatment of Arabic and Syriac philosophical manuscripts. The reader will find revelations regarding new facts in this area, such as the finding that there is no disparity between Ibn Khaldun's reasoning in the Muqadimmah, and his reasoning in al-'Ibbar, based on different interpretations of possible meanings of the text. The majority of studies were concerned with reviewing the editing practice in many areas of the Islamic heritage, such as theology and Sufism. Some gave reasons for revising editions of previously published manuscripts in geography and Sufism, such as Mu'jam ma ista'jam, and al-Futuhat al-Makkiyyah, etc., while other studies presented surveys of the practice of critical editing of manuscripts around the world, such as in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 351 pages. in Arabic. 'This book comprises sixteen studies revolving around the historical development of the discipline of maqasid traceable from the era of the Prophet's Companions, until its foundations were firmly laid by al-Shatibi, and those following him, led most prominently by Shaykh Ibn 'Ashr. He also further highlighted the role of maqasid in the contemporary Islamic renewal. Some of these studies investigate the ways of discovering and identifying the objectives of Islamic law, which were listed as: explicit statement of the objectives in the Qur'an and Sunnah, from fiqh principles (al-Qawa'id al-Fiqhiyyah), or identified from what is known of the ways to effective cause (Masalik al-'Illa). Other studies discuss the misunderstandings in the relationship between legal theory and universal objectives (al-maqasid al-kulliyyah), where each has its own topics and issues, yet both share the same role of serving jurisprudence (fiqh) and the process of derivation of legal rulings (Istinbat). The book also includes a study on omission (al-tark) in legislation (tashri') and obligation (taklaf). It also addresses the principle of means (al-dharai') in terms of history of knowledge, critical analysis of its traditional examples and giving alternative and contemporary examples in opening (fath) and closing (sadd), while explaining the consequences (al-ma 'alat) and their significant effect on public good. The reader will find many studies on the founding principles of the fiqh of priorities (al-awlawiyyat) and the importance of weighing up between the objectives (maqasid), especially where there is no previous ruling based on juristic effort (ijtihad). One study addresses the areas and horizons of ijtihad based on the objectives, while other studies explore the concept of renewal (tajdid), its horizons today and the obstacles to it. Some studies discuss maqasid principles in contemporary financial transactions, and the role of maqasid in modern contractual transactions, whereas other studies look into activating maqasid in the charity and dawah sectors.'.
