Islamophobia has spiraled into a global menace, and democratic and authoritarian regimes alike have deployed it as a strategy to persecute their Muslim populations. With this book, Khaled A. Beydoun details how the American War on Terror has facilitated and intensified the network of anti-Muslim campaigns unfolding across the world. The New Crusades is the first book of its kind, offering a critical and intimate examination of global Islamophobia and its manifestations in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and regions beyond and in between.

Understanding the Koran gives you an essential grasp of Islam's holy book: where it came from, what it teaches, how Muslims view it, and how the Allah of the Koran compares with the God of the Bible.

لم يعش أبو الوليد ابن رشد، في زمن أبي حامد الغزالي، ولم يتجادل معه. كل ما في الأمر انه في كتابه الأشهر تهافت التهافت رد مباشرة على كتاب الغزالي تهافت الفلاسفة، وعلى الارجح بعد نحو ثلاثة أرباع القرن من ظهور هذا الكتاب الأخير الذي كان ولا يزال يعتبر أكبر هجوم شنه على الكلام على الفكر العقلاني الفلسفي في تاريخ الحضارة الإسلامية. والحال ان كتاب الغزالي كان من الشهرة والحضور والتأثير في البيئة الفكرية الإسلامية، حيث ان الأمر استدعى من ابن رشد ذلك الرد العنيف والدقيق الذي أورده في تهافت التهافت.

Muslims today have been unable to apprehend the extent of the catastrophe they have been living under, or the utter betrayal through which the current leaders of the Arab world were able to attain power. For 1300 years, Muslims had lived under some form of consolidated Muslim rule, first under the Abbasid Empire, from 750 AD to the conquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258, followed by the Ottoman Empire, until its collapse following World War I. The Muslims are entirely to be blame for their own demise, but it was not without some assistance from foreign powers, particularly the expanding...

If the Oceans Were Ink is Carla Power's eye-opening story of how she and her longtime friend, Sheikh Mohammad Akram Nadwi, found a way to confront ugly stereotypes and persistent misperceptions that were cleaving their communities.

Leila Slimani was in her native Morocco promoting her novel Adèle, about a woman addicted to sex, when she began meeting women who confided the dark secrets of their sexual lives. In Morocco, adultery, abortion, homosexuality, prostitution, and sex outside of marriage are all punishable by law, and women have only two choices: They can be wives or virgins. Sex and Lies combines vivid, often harrowing testimonies with Slimani's passionate and intelligent commentary to make a galvanizing case for a sexual revolution in the Arab world.

For centuries, the story of Black America has been one of resilience, resistance, and relentless faith. Ummah Rising uncovers a powerful and often overlooked thread in that story—the enduring relationship between Islam and Black identity in the United States. From the whispered prayers of enslaved African Muslims to the revolutionary sermons of Malcolm X and the transformative leadership of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, this book traces a legacy of spiritual defiance and divine reclamation. It explores how Islam provided Black Americans with not only a new faith but also a restored identity,...

Life is never a bed of roses. We suffer from heartbreak, pain, and calamity, any of which might drive us to depression. However, at times, depression can just be there for no specific reason at all, and when this happens, it is imperative we seek help for it. Allah SWT, the creator of universe, has revealed the Noble Quran as a guide for mankind till the end of time, giving us a guide to help us through depression. Some surahs of the Quran are valuable listening during depression and anxiety, as their meanings and messages can help alleviate depression, inshaa Allah.

For a brief moment on December 27, 2007, life came to a standstill in Pakistan. Benazir Bhutto, the country's former prime minister and the first woman ever to lead a Muslim country, had been assassinated at a political rally just outside Islamabad. Back in Karachi--Bhutto's birthplace and Pakistan's other great metropolis--Rafia Zakaria's family was suffering through a crisis of its own: her uncle Sohail, the man who had brought shame upon the family, was near death.

The September 11 assault on the World Trade Center was the most sophisticated and horrifying in a series of operations masterminded by Osama bin Laden and his Jihad group - an organization that CNN's terrorism analyst Peter Bergen calls Holy War, Inc. One of only a handful of journalists to have interviewed the world's most wanted man face to face, Bergen explains the Jihadist network that operates globally and in secrecy.

Garry Wills has spent a lifetime thinking and writing about Christianity. In What the Qur'an Meant, Wills invites listeners to join him as he embarks on a timely and necessary reconsideration of the Qur'an, leading us through perplexing passages with insight and erudition. What does the Qur'an actually say about veiling women? Does it justify religious war? There was a time when ordinary Americans did not have to know much about Islam. That is no longer the case.

Sharing with you beautiful speeches & Quran recitations.

Islam did not arise solely from Muhammad’s preaching; rather, it evolved through a lengthy and intricate process of historical revision. Deeply rooted in Jewish and Christian apocalyptic beliefs, early Islam was reshaped by Arab rulers and Caliphs to legitimize their power “in the name of God” and to establish a “reign of God” that paralleled their political rule. This significant discovery remains largely unknown to the public even today. Over the past forty years, however, new research has continued to emerge, primarily through confidential publications and discussions among ...

Muslim Women Do Things is a celebration of the ways in which past and present Muslim women from around the world are singing, dancing, reading, writing, laughing, experimenting, driving, and rocking their way into the history books.

للإمام علي ابن أبي طالب كرم الله وجهه مكانة كبرى في نفوس المسلمين كافة سنة و شيعة...فهو أول من أسلم من الصبية و هو ابن عم رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم و هو زوج ابنته فاطمة الزهراء رضي الله عنها ووالد الحسين سيد شباب الجنة رضي الله عنه...كما أنه رابع الخلفاء الراشدين رضي الله عنهم جميعًا....وقد امتلك الحكمة و التقوى و الورع و القدرة على القضاء بين الناس.

Through scare tactics and deliberate misinformation campaigns, anti-Muslim propagandists insist wrongly that shariah is a draconian and oppressive Islamic law that all Muslims must abide by. They circulate horror stories, encouraging Americans to fear the "takeover of shariah" law in America and even mounting "anti-shariah protests"...with zero evidence that shariah has taken over any part of our country. (That's because it hasn't.) It would be almost funny if it weren't so terrifyingly wrong - as puzzling as if Americans suddenly began protesting the Martian occupation of Earth.

We generally understand "radical Islam" as a purely Islamic phenomenon, but Buruma and Margalit show that while the Islamic part of radical Islam certainly is, the radical part owes a primary debt of inheritance to the West. Whatever else they are, al Qaeda and its ilk are revolutionary anti-Western political movements, and Buruma and Margalit show us that the bogeyman of the West who stalks their thinking is the same one who has haunted the thoughts of many other revolutionary groups, going back to the early 19th century.
