Описание: <p><em>In Knowledge before Action</em>, Amina M. Steinfels examines medieval Sufism and its place in Islamic society by telling the story of the life and career of Sayyid Jalal al-din Bukhari, a revered figure in Pakistan. Considered one of the most important Sufi masters of South Asia, Sayyid Jalal al-din Bukhari, more popularly referred to as Makhdum-i Jahaniyan, is known for combining spirituality and scholarship in a formative period for Sufism. Steinfels assembles the details of Bukhari's life from records of his teachings, dynastic chronicles, and correspondence to discover how he achieved his status and laid the groundwork for a devotional cult that has lasted seven centuries. Steinfels also examines Bukhari's theories of the relationship between scholar and mystic. Bukhari's teachings provide windows into the underlying concerns and themes of medieval Sufism. </p> <p><em>Knowledge before Action</em> describes Bukhari's training as a scholar and a Sufi, his exercise of religious authority over his disciples, and his theories of the relationships between saint and shaykh. <em>Knowledge before Action</em> discusses ritual and contemplative practices, the economic bases of Sufi institutions, and the interconnectedness between Sufi masters, the 'ulama, and the political authorities by telling the story of Bukhari. </p>

Описание: James Toth traces the life and thought of Sayyid Qutb, the Egyptian thinker and Islamist martyr branded by The New York Times Magazine as "The Philosopher of Islamic Terror." By returning to Qutb`s writings, Toth draws a complex portrait of Qutb, one that moves beyond the cartoonish descriptions of him as the evil genius lurking behind today`s terrorists.

Описание: The Elements of Islamic Metaphysics, an English translation of Sayyid Tabatabais Bidayat al-Hikmah, is a succinct manual that represents a new approach to the teaching of Islamic philosophy. It provides a useful overview of twentieth-century philosophy in Iran, and traces the development of philosophical thought in the context of a religious tradition whose intellectual character was determined to a large extent by the contents of the Quranic revelation and the prophetic teachings. At the same time, it demonstrates how philosophical thought is by nature independent of religious doctrine and differs from theology, which depends on revelation and tradition. The translation is accompanied by a glossary of philosophical terms and explanatory notes. This second edition has been carefully revised for clarity. The terminology has been updated and new annotations have been added.

Описание: The Call of the Free portrays the events leading up to the massacre of al-?usayn b. ?Ali, his family, and his companions at Karbala on the day of ?Ashura? in 61 AH/680 CE, as seen through the eyes of al-?urr al-Riya?i, a man caught between his duties as a soldier of the Umayyad Caliphate and his conscience. In ?awt al-?urr al-Riya?i, the Iraqi poet and playwright Ri?a al-Khafaji invigorates the historical narrative of al-?urr’s defection, and the turmoil of his conscience, by introducing the character of The Caller—a mysterious voice from the unseen. This adaptation into English by Sayyid Amjad H. Shah Naqavi seeks to introduce the long theatrical tradition of Mystery plays in honour of ?Ashura? to the Anglophone world —offering the reader an insight into the rich commemorative practices surrounding the lamentation of the massacre at Karbala.

Описание: In Tafsir as Mystical Experience, Todd Lawson shows how the Quran may be engaged with for meaning and understanding, the usual goal of mystical exegesis, and also how it may be engaged with through tafsīr in a quest for spiritual or mystical experience. In this earliest of the B b's extended works, written before his public claim to be the return of the hidden Imam, the act of reading is shown to be something akin to holy communion in which the sacred text is both entrance upon and destination of the mystic quest. The Quran here is a door to an "abode of glory" and an abiding spiritual encounter with the divine through the prophet, his daughter Fāṭima and the twelve Imams of Ithna-ʿasharī Shiʿism who inhabit the letters, words, verses and suras of the Book.
