“What I wish to present to you is an English interpretation side by side with the Arabic text. The English shall be, not a mere substitution of one word for another, but the best expression I can give to the fullest meaning that I can understand for the Arabic text. The rhythm, music and exalted tone of the original should be reflected in the English interpretation. It may be but a frank reflection, but such beauty and power as my pen commands shall be brought to its service…….

“Every earnest and reverent student of the Qur-an, as he proceeds with his study, will find, with an inward joy difficult to describe, how this general meaning also enlarges as his own capacity for understanding increases. It is like a traveller climbing a mountain; the higher he goes, the farther he sees.…” Abdullah Yusuf Ali

9. THE QUR’AN: SHAYKH TABARSI’S COMMENTARY

Musa O. A. Abdul

Shaykh Abu Ali Fadl b. al-Hasan b. al-Fadl al-TABARSI, the author of Majma al-Bayan, the work under study in the present volume, was a Shi’ite scholar and theologian of repute. He wrote many valuable works on theology. Majma’ al-Bayan is the most


important of these all, and it is on this work that his fame rests. The Majma’ al-Bayan enjoys wide acceptance even among scholars who do not subscribe to Shi’ite views. Tabarsi is considered to be “moderate in his Shi’ism unlike others,” far from fanaticism, nor can he be reproached for cursing any of the Companions of the Prophet. Modern scholars, however, know or write very little about him and his works. It is to fill this void that this work is presented. The book gives a brief survey of his biography, studies his tafsir, works and discusses his theological views on special issues. Bibliography and Index.

ISBN No. 969-432-007-0. 14.5 cm. x 21.5 cm. viii+240 pp. (H.B) Rs 230

10. AN APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF THE QUR’AN

Nawab Sir Nizamat Jung Bahadur

The Holy Book of Islam was revealed for man’s guidance. Hence its claim to be a book of practical wisdom for the improvement of man’s conduct of life. If the Holy Qur’an is approached with this belief, progress through it would be easier, acquisition of knowledge more helpful and its effect upon the mind more invigorating.

ISBN No. 969-432-010-0. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. vi+58 pp. (P.B) Rs 110

11. THE MESSAGE OF THE QUR’AN

(As interpreted by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad)

Dr. M. Murtaza Siddiqi

This book, as its name depicts, is based on Maulana Abul Kalam Azad’s commentary on the Holy Qur’an and his writings on different aspects of Islam, comparative religion and philosophy of religion.

Maulana Azad, in spite of his political career, is acknowledged as a great Islamic scholar, and his services to the cause of Islam cannot be ignored. He made his debut as a writer as early as when he was only fourteen years old.

The learned author has, in this book, absolved himself extremely well of the task he had set himself to.


12. PHILOSOPHY OF THE QUR’ĀN

Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar

This book is the product of the author’s lifelong study of religion,


science and philosophy. He has made a successful attempt at

proving that the Real (or God) is revealing Himself to all mankind

in all ages and in all countries and that Truth is not the monopoly

of any creed or race. It offers an unbiased study of the philosophy

of all ages and is a convincing proof of the adaptability of the

teachings of the Holy Qur’an to all stages of human civilization.

S.M. Nadvi

ISBN No. 969-432-006-2. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. xii+146 pp. (H.B.) Rs 170

14. LESSONS FROM THE STORIES OF THE QUR’ĀN

A.M.R. Muhajir, Foreword by Dr. M. Hamidullah

The modern critics even ascribe the authorship of the Quran to the

Prophet and assert that the sources of his information were the

Bible and those Jews and Christians who came into contact with

him. The author refutes all such allegations. In dealing with the

stories of the Biblical and other Prophets, the author has shown a

comprehensive grasp of the subject and has tried to remove the

misconceptions the Bible creates about these holy personages in

the mind of its readers.

ISBN No. 969-432-005-4. 14.5 cm. x 21.5 cm. xvi+224 pp. (H.B) Rs 200

15. TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING THE QUR’ĀN

Maulana Kausar Niazi

As an eminent religious scholar Maulana Kausar Niazi has realised

the need of presenting Islam in the present-day context. His

versatile genius has opened new vistas of vision which suggest

ways to lead a better life. Towards Understanding the Qur’an is

the exposition of those Qur’anic injunctions which have a direct

bearing on our day-to-day issues.


ISBN No. 969-432-014-3. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. viii+232 pp. (P.B) Rs 190

16. PROPHECIES OF THE HOLY QUR’ĀN

Q.I. Hingora

Apart from being the “Book of Guidance,” the Qur’an, in the capacity of the “Conclusive Word,” had to give mankind some idea of the events that were soon to follow after its revelation and of the other major ones which are yet to follow. Of the Qur’anic prophecies many have been fulfilled; many are being fulfilled; the rest shall be fulfilled. As scientific knowledge advances, it will gradually find means of accurately confirming many other incontrovertible truths of the Qur’an as it has confirmed many already.

In this book the compiler has given a number of prophecies on certain topics arranged under appropriate heads with short comments, giving the reader a composite picture of the subject.

ISBN No. 969-432-008-9. 14.5 cm. x 21.5 cm. viii+154 pp. (H.B) Rs 170

17. GHAZALI’S MISHKAT AL-ANWAR (The Niche for Lights)

W.H.T. Gairdner,Tr.

This is the English translation of Imam Ghazali’s mystical treatise on the Light Verse of the Holy Qur’an: “Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. The parable of His Light is as if there was a Niche and within it a Lamp; the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the Glass as it were a brilliant Star lit from a blessed Tree, an olive, neither of the East nor of the West….. (xxiv : 35).

A brief but crucial contribution to understanding Ghazali’s mystical insight.

ISBN No. 969-432-012-7. 12 cm. x17.5 cm. xii+180 pp. (P.B) Rs 150

19. QUOTATIONS FROM THE HOLY BOOK

Obaid Qadri


The Holy Qur’an is the record of Divine revelations directly communicated to the Holy Prophet of Islam.

M. Abdul Hamid Siddiqi, Tr.

The first ever attempt at the English translation with exhaustive notes and commentary based on authentic original sources and brief biographical sketches of major hadith narrators.

23. MUWATTA’ IMAM MALIK

M. Rahimuddin, Tr.

Compiled during the reign of Mansur, the second Abbasid Caliph,

Muwatta’ of Imam Malik is regarded as the most authentic book

on Hadith. Imam Malik passed his entire life in Medina and,

therefore, had direct access to the most reliable authorities on

Hadith, because most of the leading Companions and their


Successors lived and died there and narrated traditions. The

Muwatta’ is based on the traditions narrated by them and the

juristic verdicts given by them, and thus it deals only with such

ahadith as have a bearing on juristic verdicts. The translator is a

well-known scholar. He has done full justice to the work

undertaken by him. He has provided exhaustive explanatory

footnotes wherever necessary.

54. SIN WITHOUT PLEASURE

Muhammad ‘Imran

Today a large number of Muslims have ceased to bother whether what they are doing is forbidden (haram) or lawful (halal), it pleases Allah or earns His displeasure. There are lots of sins committed daily because of neglect, carelessness and ignorance of the rules of the Shari’ah. These sins do not carry any worldly benefit nor does their giving up entail any hardship. These can be styled as “Sins Without Pleasure”. It is time that the Muslims got acquainted with them and developed a firm determination to give them up.

65. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM

Mrs. Ulfat Aziz-us-Samad

The message that God sent down to different Prophets raised in different countries at different times were, of course, identical as far as their essential features were concerned. Thus, Islam does not reject the religion of Jesus but, in fact, confirms it, only pointing out in what respects Christianity has deviated and fallen away from the religion of Jesus. Islam is thus seen by its followers as the revival, restatement and final and complete version of the religion of Jesus.

This comparative study of Christianity and Islam would, therefore, be of considerable interest to students of religion and seekers after truth.

Hadrat Ali was not only a great warrior, but was also a great saint. He distinguished himself as an orator of the highest order, and his sermons and speeches rank high in importance. A collection of these, known as Nahj al-Balaghah, was compiled by Sayyid Razi. That is a great work.

For those who can have no access to that volume, many scholars have published collections of short sentences culled from Ali’s sermons and speeches, which serve as maxims and mottoes.

84. THE VIRTUES OF SALAT

Abdul Rashid Arshad Tr.

The indifference of Muslims towards practising Islam these days is too well known. So much so that even Salat which is the most important pillar of Islam (after Iman) and the first and the foremost thing to be reckoned for on the Day of Judgment, is being badly neglected. Although every call to Islam now-a-days, seems to be only a cry in the wilderness, yet experience shows that efforts in this direction are not altogether fruitless. The glorious words of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) are sure to benefit those with receptive and submissive frame of mind.

98. QADIANISM: A CRITICAL STUDY

S. Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi

The book has been written with historical sobriety rather than a controversialist’s enthusiasm. The subject has been dealt with under four heads: (1) the historical perspective of the rise of Qadianism; (2) the evolution of Qadiani doctrines; (3) aspects of the founder’s life and character; (4) critical study of Qadiani Movement and of its founder Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.


99. ISLAM AND AHMADISM (New Revised Edition)

(with a Reply to Questions raised by Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru)

Dr. Sir Muhammad Iqbal

Qadianism also known as Ahmadiyyah movement was started by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who was a Pseudo-Prophet. Iqbal warns us that this movement is a serious danger to the solidarity of Islam. In this booklet Iqbal proves that the integrity of Muslim Society is secured by the idea of the Finality of Prophethood alone.


100. HIS HOLINESS

(Phoenix. Foreword by the late Maulana Zafar Ali Khan)

The false prophet of Qadian was clever enough to avoid the

mistake committed by Bahaullah and Bab who seceded from Islam

and set up independent cults with new heavenly dispensation.


Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, on the other hand, continued vehemently

to assert up to the last that he was a devoted follower of the

Arabian Prophet whose mantle had fallen upon him as his living

incarnation and that he was destined to restore Islam to its

pristine glory-!.

The talented writer removes this false impression and exposes the true character of Qadianism which is radically opposed to the true spirit of Islam.

Ismail A.B. Balogun

This is a collection of the author’s articles which he wrote after

“weighing the beliefs and practices of the Ahmadis against the

widely accepted teachings of Islam as contained in the

authoritative books of Islam,” comparing “also the Ahmadiyyah

interpretations of certain Islamic precepts with the orthodox

interpretations”. He discovered “a basic incongruity between

Islam and Ahmadiyyah, and between the Muslims and

Ahmadiyyah”. Naturally there appeared a spate of abusive

rejoinders in the Nigerian press from the Ahmadiyyah side. Some

of these rejoinders also form part of the book, thus giving the

reader an opportunity of knowing the views and counter views on

the subject.

103. ISLAM ON ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF LIFE

Dr. Majid Ali Khan

Modern society is rapidly changing due to scientific achievements and discoveries. Because of misunderstandings and bigotry there


has been conflict between religion and science. The Holy Qur’an stimulates mankind to study the natural phenomena and contemplate Allah’s Divinity. Muslim scholars laid down the foundation of modern scientific and technological developments which, because of stagnation in Muslim activities, were appropriated by Western nations. The Western scientists did not recognise well the metaphysical and spiritual phenomena. Religion and sciences were thus allowed to exist as separate entities of knowledge. The Islamic approach recognises both the physical and metaphysical, the materialistic and the spiritual order of the universe and calls on mankind to pursue life in this togetherness as they interdepend upon one another for existence. It is this dichotomy which the author wishes to deal with in this book.

109. MUHAMMAD: THE HOLY PROPHET

Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar

The Prophet of Islam has found his biographers in all ages and in

all climes. The last three centuries have produced a number of

them in European countries. Most of them, alas, have written with

biased minds, wilfully shutting their eyes to the greatness of the

Prophet and doing all in their power to poison the minds of their

readers against Islam. In the Biography of the Holy Prophet of

Islam, the facts and their details are minutely worked out and the

sequence of the narrative is very natural.

110. THE SHADOWLESS PROPHET OF ISLAM

Syed Abdul Wahab

The Prophet’s life is traced from the time of the creation of his Noor when there was no existence of paradise, hell, earth, men, jinn and the rest, as, in the author’s opinion, it would be suppression of most important and material facts of the Prophet’s span of life if it be confined only to the period from his birth till his change of abode from this world.

113. MUHAMMAD AND TEACHINGS OF THE QUR’AN

John Davenport, Edited by Muhammad Amin

It is a touching and charming survey of the life and mission of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the message of Islam. The first assistance of Sayyid Ahmad Khan when with the sole financial edition of the book was published he was in England in mid-nineteenth century, so appreciative was he of the attempt made by Davenport, and because no publisher there was willing to undertake its publication put of prejudice.

114. THE PROPHET OF REVOLUTION


The Maulana’s thesis is that the Prophet not only brought about a revolution himself, his message started a chain of revolutions in the world. He was the first leader of men who talked about human freedom, equality of mankind, dignity of labour, respect for human life and other concepts in the sense and idiom which are known to the modern educated man.

In this book, while discussing the different aspects of the ceremony of the Eid Milad-un-Nabi, describing the prismatic personality of the Holy Prophet, his prophetic graces, love for and


obedience to him and adherence to his noble conduct, the Maulana comes to the conclusion that our conduct during celebrations should be in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion.

116. MUHAMMAD THE PROPHET WHO GAVE A NEW DIMENSION

S. M. Mashoor

The present book has focused its attention on the scientific explanations that the present-day reader demands. Islam was able to meet the challenge of the Crusaders and the Mongols due to the fact that our Prophet had set the example for the Muslims to follow, rocities of our a the Quran had taught the Muslims the greatest of Islam. All the atrocities of our adversaries had no effect -Muslims belief in God and the Prophet wasso superme that they preffered death to giving up their faith. It is this attitude that made the Mongols embrace Islam en masse.

118. LIFE OF ABU BAKR (THE FIRST CALIPH OF ISLAM)

Muhammad Habibur Rahman Khan Sherwani

D. Moin-ul-Haq, Tr.

This book is a faithful English translation of Sirat-as-Siddiq. That the task of maintaining and preserving what the Prophet had achieved could have been fulfilled only by the most devout of his Companions, is amply illustrated by the short but eventful regime of the First Caliph of Islam. It was due to the sterling virtues of Abu Bakr that the infant State of the Khilafat was saved from total collapse.

In the second volume is given a detailed record of his system of government administration, political and ecclesiastical, his intellectual attainments and his personal virtues and habits. The entire book is a masterpiece of research by Maulana Shibli, yet he devoted comparatively greater labour and research to the second volume. Publication of the original Urdu work, Al-Faruq, by the late ‘Allama Shibli Nu’mani took the Muslim world by storm as it was considered a great literary event in the history of Islamic literature. It created an unparalleled enthusiasm and ran into several editions in a very short time.

120. WIVES OF THE PROPHET (New Revised edition)

Fida Hussain Malik

This book is the outcome of a long and laborious study by the author of European and other hostile critics of Islam many of whom have tried to vilify the character of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, particularly by misrepresenting his married life. The author has explored all available literature on the subject. It is an assessment of the true position to enable the reader to savour for himself the beauty and purpose underlying the Prophet’s matrimonial alliances.

Incidentally, the study of the book will also be a helpful guide towards the solution of a number of present-day problems effecting the domestic peace and happiness of many a family in Pakistan as elsewhere.

126. NIZAM AL-MULK TUSI

S. Rizwan Ali Rizvi

Throughout history Nizam al-Mulk has enjoyed an unrivalled reputation as a statesman, a thinker on public administration and a builder of a great Empire. He offers a complete contrast to Niccolo Machiavelli, who is recognised to have influenced Western politics ever since his Prince was written, and who is not merely amoral, his thought is definitely immoral. He served a great Empire having sufficient resources, both financial and military; there was to be no need for adopting immoral means for achieving its goals. Tusi’s main concern was the consolidation of the Sultanate’s power for the welfare of the people and the strengthening and glorification of Islam.

In this book, the learned author concentrates mainly on the political ideas of Nizam al-Mulk. He has tried to work out the theoretical and practical aspects of government enunciated and enacted by Nizam al-Mulk in the true spirit of Islam.


127. THE SAINT OF JILAN

S. A. Salik

Sayyid ‘Abd al-Qadir Jilani, popularly known as Ghauth al A’zam (the greatest of all helpers) was a great preacher, a great educationist and a great philanthrophist. His life is essentially spiritual. Miracles and supernatural things form a great part of his life.

In this work the author has based his study primarily on the sayings of Sayyid Ahmad as recorded in Sirat-i-Mustaqim, and other contemporary and recent sources. The author has made special endeavours in this work to draw attention to the contribution made by Sayyid Ahmad to the socio-religious life of Indian Muslims through a new way of Sufi teaching which he called the Tariqah-i-Muhammadiyah.

134. MUSLIM HEROES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

S. M. H. Mashoor

A mass volume of literature exists on the lives and exploits of these

leaders, but there is no easy-to-read guide suited to the younger

generation. Thus, there is a communication gap between the older

and the younger generations. This attempt might, to a certain

extent, correct that lacuna.

This book can be termed a “Five-Minute Biographies,” written

primarily for those busy men who have not the time to read

voluminous literature on them, and chiefly, for the younger people

who are hitherto unaware of the presence and exit of these mighty

giants history produced. The selection spans the lives of leaders of

six nations, both in the Arab and Asian scenes.

Claud Field

In addition to a short life-sketch of Ghazali, the work describes his personal experiences. He also has reviewed some sects whom he encountered during search for truth, e.g. the scholastic theologians who profess to follow reason and speculation; the philosophers who call themselves masters of Logic and Demonstration; the Sufis who perceive the manifestation of Truth as common men perceive material phenomena.

139. GATEWAY TO ISLAM (4 Books) Saifuddin J. Aniff Doray

The Holy Qur’an repeatedly admonishes the believer that worship without adequate knowledge is worship woefully deficient; with due knowledge he is exhorted to take note of the Order that prevails in Nature and the wondrous features of life around him. Knowledge, in short, is an essential preliminary to worship. It is in the light of such essentials, of Islamic philosophy and the requirements of child psychology that this series of books has been prepared for children of various age-groups. The aim has been not only to impart a minimum amount of Islamic knowledge but also to mould the child’s character in the Islamic way, totally abandoning the stereotyped catechism method and assimilating as many methods and media as possible of modern pedagogy. The books in the series Gateway to Islam contain lessons in Ahkam (commandments); ‘Aqa’id (beliefs), A’mal, (application) and Tarikh (history), and are a must for children who are taught in English.

PHILOSOPHY AND MYSTICISM

142. THE JUST BALANCE

D.P. Brewster Tr.

This is the English translation with explanatory notes of Imam Ghazali’s al-Qistas al-Mustaqim. This work of Ghazali is directed against the Ismailis, and at the same time it reveals the state of Islamic theology at a crucial period of its formulation. It demonstrates the methods adopted by one of the foremost exponents of that theology, one who became known as “the proof of Islam” (Hujjat al-Islam) by his admirers. It reveals, furthermore, the extent to which theologians of Islam were acquainted with the methods of Greek philosophy and the extent to which they were prepared to adopt these methods in the defence of their faith.

The intention of the translator is to illuminate the debate between the orthodox (or Sunni) position and that occupied by Ismailis. Ghazali’s argument comes through very clearly and shows the use he made of philosophical methods.

ISBN No. 969 -432-111-5. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. xxiii+142 pp. (P.B) Rs 200

143. MYSTIC TENDENCIES IN ISLAM

M.M. Zahur-ud-Din Ahmad

This book aims at explaining the origin and development of mysticism. The learned author has attempted to analyse the chief elements of Islamic mysticism and has shown in what way its basic principles are related to the fundamental tenets of Islam. It is purported to be a criticism of the origin and development of the Sufi movement among the Muslims in the light of the Qur’an and Traditions of the Prophet, the two chief sources of knowledge about Islam.



144. CREATION OF MAN


The author has always a valid ground for what he believes or rejects. Being a scholar of this disposition, he could hardly leave the Darwinian theory of Evolution without examining it closely.

In this book he has critically examined the theory raising some fairly valid points against it. According to him, Adam’s descent on earth as the vicegerent of the Almighty was far more noble and inspiring than his chimpanzic past wrapped in total darkness. He has quoted European writers to prove that man did not evolve monotheism through a protracted experimentation with a mass of idolatrous ideas; man; he says started his journey on this planet long ago as a monotheist being, going occasionally astray, to be brought back to the righteous path by a long line of Prophets - Muhammad being the last of them.

145. STUDIES IN TASAWWUF

Khaja Khan Tr.

The learned author has tried to put the thoughts of established writers on the subject in such a way that the different parts of the system harmonise with one another, at least to the best of his understanding.

ISBN No. 969-432-100-X. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. xii+260 pp. (H.B) Rs 200

146. THE SECRET OF ANA’L-HAQQ

K. S. Khaja Khan Tr.

This is the translation of a Persian work entitled Irshadat-i-Shaikh Ibrahim. The author has most philosophically expounded the doctrine of “how God is manifest in man” in the form of short detached sayings as is the wont of Sufi teachers which the translator has classified and arranged in chapters.

ISBN No. 969-432-246-4. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. vii+189 pp. (H.B) Rs 200

147. THE PHILOSOPHY OF ISLAM

Khaja Khan

“Tasawwuf” is a subject that people fear to teach from public platform. The common feeling is that it is a species of knowledge


that descends from breast to breast; it is the torch that is handed down from the Murshid to his Murid.

While the discussion of subtle questions before the uninitiated is apt to lead them astray, the promulgation of secret doctrines is like leading men to a vast unexplored field full of pitfalls and quicksands. In most cases such teaching has had the effect of leading them away from the path of Islam. To invite, therefore, Muslim thinkers to this way of seeking the truth, this book is offered. The author says: “If I have succeeded in showing what Tasawwuf is not, one-half of my task is done.” Hence the author has tried to show that Islamic doctrines and practices, if probed deeply, would be found to have the support of the most earnest thinkers of the West.


148. FAITH AND PRACTICE OF AL-GHAZZALI

W. Montgomery Watt

This book contains two works of Ghazali; the first is his spiritual autobiography which is closer to the modern Western outlook than any other of the great books of Islam. The other work translated here sets out his ideal of how the religious man should order his life from hour to hour and day to day.

ISBN No. 969-432-132-8. 12 cm. x 17.5 cm. 155 pp. .(P.B) Rs 150

149. SOME MORAL AND RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS OF GHAZALI

S. Nawab Ali

The book, besides giving the reader a correct idea of Ghazali’s approach to various religious questions, will also arouse the interest of the reader to study Ghazali’s works more immediately and at first hand. His approach is always the lifting of the veil from the eyes of the heart so as to see the mysterious relation between man and his Maker and to be filled with a sense of awe and reverence in the presence of an Omnipotent Holy Being Who pervades the universe.


150. THE ETHICAL PHILOSOPHY OF AL-GHAZALI

M. Umaruddin

The book is the outcome of long thinking and laborious research


in Islamic philosophy. The author has thoroughly explored the original sources, both in Islamic philosophy and Western thought. The book opens a new chapter in the presentation of Islamic thought to the modern world, in particular the fundamental aspects and speculations of al-Ghazali, who has deeply influenced the course of Muslim thinking during the last eight hundred years.

It has been generally held that al-Ghazali believed in the finitude of thought and worked out a system of mysticism which was unnatural and foreign to Islam. The author conclusively refutes the charges. The final good and happiness of man, according to him, consists in the perfect realisation of the self, which depends on the most harmonious and equable interrelation between intellect, self-assertion and appetite.


151. THE ALCHEMY OF HAPPINESS

Claud Field Tr.

As a practical mystic, Ghazali’s aim was to make man better by leading him from a merely rational acquiescence in the stereotyped creed of Islam to a real knowledge of God. The first four chapters of his Kimiya-i-Sa’adat are a commentary on the famous verse in the Hadith: “He who knows himself knows God.” This little volume contains eight sections of the Kimiya-i-Sa’adat.


152. THE ELEMENTS OF ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY

Ali Mahdi Khan

The book deals with Nature and Value of Muslim Philosophy, the Beginnings of Muslim Philosophy; the Eastern Philosophers; the Western Philosophers; Development of Sufism etc.


153. IMAM GHAZALI’S IHYA ULUM-ID-DIN (4 Vols) - New Edition

Fazal-ul-Karim

This book is the English version of Ihya Ulum-id-Din of Imam Ghazzali, who is the greatest thinker of all the World of Islam. This book, Ihya is a sea of knowledge full of reasons and arguments, full of Qur’anic Verses, traditions of the Holy Prophet and of the


companions and the famous saints of early ages. Imam was not a blind follower of sects but he was an independent thinker. As the world is ever advancing with new ideas and scientific discoveries, so also this work is full of novel and great ideas and scientific discoveries and thereby the Imam revived truly the religious sciences and gave them an impetus never given by his predecessors in such a manner.

The book is in four volumes. Every volume is full in itself.

ISBN No. 969-432-145-X. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. xxxv + 1521 pp. (H.B) Rs 820

GHAZALI’S IHYA’ ‘ULUM AL-DIN

Renan calls Ghazali “the most original mind among Muslim philosophers”. “Philosopher and sceptic as he was by nature,” says Claud Field, “Ghazali’s chief work was that of a theologian, moralist and mystic, though his mysticism was strongly balanced by common sense.” It is a characteristic of Ghazali which appeals to the modern mind in the way in which he expounds the religious argument from probability. He is accepted as an orthodox authority and is considered Hujjat al-Islam (Proof of Islam). It is said that if all the books of Islam were destroyed it would be but a slight loss if only the Ihya’ of Ghazali were preserved.

The books that are described below are translations of some of the books of the Ihya’.

154. THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF FAITH

Dr. Nabih Amin Faris, Tr.

Ihya’s Kitab Qawa’id al-Aqa’id comprises (1) an exposition of the creed of the orthodox community as embodied in the words of Shahadah; (2) introduction to religious institutions and the stages of belief; (3) obvious proofs for the creed; (4) belief and Islam, the relation between and the differences which distinguish them.

ISBN No. 969-432-138-7. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. viii + 144 pp. (H.B) Rs 160

155. THE MYSTERIES OF ALMSGIVING


On the Prophet’s uttering, ‘Verily they are the lost ones,” he was asked who they were. He said in reply: “Those who have the most


of wealth except him who gives it to his fellowmen....” This saying of the Prophet urged Ghazali to unfold the mysteries of almsgiving (zakat), its obvious and hidden rules and its outward and inward significance, limiting his discussion to those things which the payer of zakat and its recipient should know.

This forms the Kitab Asrar al-Zakat of Ghazali’i Ihya.

ISBN No. 969-432-139-5. 14cm. x 21.5 cm. viii+ 98 pp. (P.B) Rs 120

156. THE MYSTERIES OF PURITY (New Revised Edition)


“Purification,” the Prophet said, “is the key to prayer” and “Religion was founded on cleanliness”; Purification is one half of belief.” The Holy Qur’an is too eloquent on this subject: “Therein are men who aspire to purity, and God loves the purified.”

This book is the English translation of Kitab Asrar al-Taharah of the Ihya.

ISBN No. 969-432-140-9. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. viii + 100 pp (P.B) Rs 120

157. THE MYSTERIES OF FASTING (New Revised Edition)


The practice of fasting as a spiritual discipline is both ancient and widespread. It antedates Islam, even among the Arabs and from time immemorial it has been observed in various ways by Jews, Christians, and eastern and pagan religions. In Islam it is one of the most important institutions.

This book is the English translation of Kitab Asrar al-Sawm which is the fifth book of the first quarter of the Ihya’.


158. THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE


“The most severely punished of all men on the Day of Resurrection,” goes a Tradition of the Prophet of Islam, “will be a learned man whom God has not blessed with His knowledge.” Ghazali was urged to write Kitab al-’Ilm of the Ihya’ seeing the people around him persistently straying from the clear truth and their insistence upon fostering evil, flattering ignorance.

161. AL-GHAZALI ON DIVINE PREDICATES

AND THEIR PROPERTIES

Abdu-r-Rahman Abu Zayd, Tr.

In Islam, the question of the Divine Attributes has been treated

from various perspectives. In the beginning it was viewed

primarily as a semantic and metaphysical problem. A later

introduction, its logical aspect, however, was its most important

side. The translator attempts to treat the problem with this logical

aspect predominantly in mind. Limited both by the scope of this

work and by the task of bringing this vast material into reasonable

compass, he confines himself to the treatment of the problem as it

unfolds itself in Islamic Peripatetic thought, and the Ash’arite

school, with Ghazali being the major representative of the latter.

He tests the validity of some of Ghazali’s statements in Iqtisad

against the former schools and findings in Plato and Aristotle.

162. TEACHINGS OF SHAH WALIYULLAH

G.N. Jalbani

Enough has been written on Shah Waliyullah in the Urdu language, but it is peculiarly strange that no serious effort has yet been made in presenting his teachings to the English readership. The book fills this vacuum. Second revised edition.

ISBN No. 969-432-245-6. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. ix+189 pp. (P.B) Rs 200

163. THE IDEA OF PERSONALITY IN SUFISM

R.A. Nicholson

The book attempts to show by means of examples chosen from literature, that Sufism is not necessarily pantheistic but often bears the marks of a genuine personal religion inspired by a personal God, even if we must beware of attributing to Muslims all that the term “personality” suggests.


164. THE ‘AWARIF-UL-MA ‘ARIF

Shaikh Shahab-ud-Din ‘Umar b. Muhammad Suhrawardi

Suhrawardi was born at a time when the whole Muslim world was passing through a very critical phase of its history. In 615/1218 started the Mongol onslaught under Chingiz when one town after another was being ravaged and people were indiscriminately butchered without any check. Consequently the people lost their morale. It was during this period of insecurity and fear that Suhrawardi lived. These events influenced his mind and that is why the note of pessimism is often met with in his work in which he gives expression to his sadness on the decline in the moral character of his contemporaries.

Mahmud b. Ali al-Kashani rendered this work into Persian under the title Misbah-ul-Hidayah.

This English translation comprises more than half of the Misbah-ul-Hidayah. Lt. Col. H. Wilberforce Clarke rendered it into English from the Persian version.

165. THE MUJADDID’S CONCEPTION OF TAWHID

Dr. Burhan Ahmad Faruqi

In this book the author has worked out the conception of Tawhid in the thought of that great Islamic mystic, Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi, who is generally called the Mujaddid-i-Alf-i-Thani.

Shaikh Ahmad is the first and greatest among the mystics of Islam who expressly and strenuously opposed the Pantheistic conception of Tawhid known as Wahdat-i-Wujud or Tawhid-i-Wujudi. This conception had become almost universal amongst Muslim mystics, specially since Ibn ‘Arabi who wrote on it extensively and has had enormous influence on the subsequent thought of Islam, and gave it wide publicity.

166. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SUFI DOCTRINE

Titus Burckhardt. Translated by D.M. Matheson

There are people who are either ignorant of the true nature of Sufism or have come to think of it as something extraneous to Islam resulting from borrowings from outside sources. But such doctrines can be understood only from within as a result of a process of assimilation and penetration which go far beyond the realm of discursive thought or scholarship, but such books can be of great value as an introduction to the metaphysical doctrine.

ISBN No. 969-432-149-2. 14cm. x 21.5 cm. xii + 166 pp. (P.B) Rs 210

167. THE QUR’ANIC SUFISM

Dr. Mir Valiuddin

The author of this book, as a student of philosophy and as professor of that subject for years at the Osmania University, has spread the subject on a wide metaphysical canvas and instituted comparison, very rightly confining himself to presenting the view as it has appeared to him, of the mystic heritage which, undisturbed by the disturbance of history, has continued from the earliest times to mould and shape the life of many a goodly man and woman in Islam.

This work is intended to present, what the author believes to be, the contribution of the Qur’an to mysticism. It has a value to all seekers of knowledge on the subject.

ISBN No. 969-432-150-6. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. viii +221 pp. (P.B) Rs 220


168. IDEOLOGY OF THE FUTURE

Dr. N. Amin Faris

Here is a book that fulfils the crying need of mankind at this hour. It is a book on the Science of Man... The author’s thesis that the urge for ideals is the ultimate and the real, the ultimate and sole dynamic power of human action, seems to be a long overdue discovery of the most important of all the laws of human nature. The author has given what is no doubt the final refutation of the psychological theories of Karl Marx, Freud, Adler and MacDougall and his theory of the process of history is far clearer and far more convincing than the theories of Marx, Spengler and Toynbee.

A remarkable feature of the book is its integration and correlation of all the facts of knowledge belonging to diverse fields of inquiry. The accomplishment of this important task, though rarely possible in this age of specialisation, was indeed essential for a book on the Science of Man... One is extremely refreshed to note as one reads the book that the writer is able to quote a striking biological analogy in additional support of each of his significant conclusions in the field of Psychology.


169. PHILOSOPHY OF FAQIRS

Sir Amin Jung Bahadur

In this valuable book are discussed the two schools of Tasawwuf: One which the author calls “Monistics” who identifies God with Nature and says: “God is Nature and Nature is God.”

The other, which he calls “Positive”, differentiates God from Nature and says: “God is above Nature which He created.”

A philosophical work of high merit which throws much light on various schools of thought.

Hazrat Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani. Translated by Aftab-ud-Din Ahmad

Among the books associated with the name of Hazrat Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani, the Saint of Baghdad, the Futuh al-Ghaib has


acquired a fame that falls to the lot of very few works of this kind. The book contains, besides a life-sketch, eighty of his very illuminating discourses.

171. THE DOCTRINE OF THE SUFIS

A.J. Arberry Tr.

This is the English translation of Kitab al-Ta’arruf li Madhhab Ahl al-Tasawwuf of Kalabadhi. This is an authoritative work on Sufi doctrine, and many commentaries were written upon it by a number of eminent writers. The esteem in which it was held by so illustrious an author as Suhrawardi Maqtul is indicated by his much quoted saying: “But for the Ta’arruf we should not have known Sufism.”

ISBN No. 969-432-154-9. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. 189 pp. (H.B) Rs 230

Dr. S.A.Q. Husaini

It is based on the Futuhat, the Fusus, the booklets of the Shaikh published by Prof. Nyberg and Prof. Asin and many other works which have been mentioned in the footnotes of the book. In the course of writing this book the learned author has paid special attention to the Fusus and the poetry of Ibn al-‘Arabi which contain the essence of the Shaikh’s philosophy.


173. IBN KHALDUN’S SCIENCE OF HUMAN CULTURE

Fuad Baali, Tr.

This is an English translation of Heinrich Simon’s German book: Ibn Khaldun’s Wissenschaft von der Menschlichen Culture (Leipzig, 1959), with a view to making Ibn Khaldun’s ideas and contributions more accessible.

The German scholar’s chief purpose in writing the book is to establish the connection of Ibn Khaldun’s work with the philosophical tradition. He shows that Ibn Khaldun’s Science of Human Culture is something essentially new and that Ibn Khaldun was the first to attempt to formulate social laws. Apart


from the connections with philosophical tradition and with the situation of Ibn Khaldun which will become apparent in the book, the book also considers whether such a view is compatible with the basic religious attitude toward history and whether Ibn Khaldun’s view of history is at all Islamic.

This book breaks new grounds and will be a welcome addition to literature on Ibn Khaldun and his work.

177. THE SECRET ROSE GARDEN

OF SA‘D-UD-DIN MAHMUD SHABISTARI

F. Leaderer, Tr.

The history of mysticism contains many impassioned love songs to the Absolute, but in Sufi poetry there is a peculiar richness, a colour which fascinates and charms so many of us.

Shabistari composed his Gulshan-i-Raz, of which this is the translation, in answer to a series of questions on mystical doctrine set to him by an enquirer from Khurasan.

179. ISLAMIC ECONOMICS : THEORY AND PRACTICE

M. A. Mannan

It is the first systematic attempt at presenting in a comprehensive and analytical manner the economic values of Islam in respect of Consumption, Production, Distribution, Public Finance, Trade, Banking, Insurance, Planning and Development. The book also deals with the dynamics of Islamic laws and comparative economic systems like Capitalism, Socialism, etc. In this book, the author has ably advocated the founding of a Muslim World bank on the model of the I.B.R.D., suggested for setting up of a “People’s Zakat Trust,” and so on.


180. PUBLIC FINANCE IN ISLAM

S. A Siddiqi The book aims at presenting in a handy and systematic form the fundamentals of Muslim finance. The Islamic system outlined here stood firm and was instrumental in evolving a society which was neither capitalistic nor yet socialistic but which combined all the good features of the two. This society is not a Utopia: it was a real society which blossomed and died out and has gone into the limbo of the past.

Dr. Anwar Iqbal Qureshi

The author puts the theories of interest from the times of Plato to Lord Keynes under searching criticism and for the first time the Islamic theory of interest has been fully expounded.

ISBN No. 969-432-165-4. 14 cm. x 21.5 cm. xxiv+223 pp. (H.B) Rs 190

183. ECONOMIC JUSTICE IN ISLAM

Dr. S. M. Yusuf The book is mainly concerned with the concrete economic system of Islam. The religious faith is referred to only in so far as it motivates and characterises the system. In dealing with the concrete problems of economic life, controversies around the accepted principles of Islam such as the prohibition of riba are discarded. Attention is focussed on agricultural land tenure and the methods of industrialism, which violate the fundamental guarantees of Islam in regard to the free character of the gifts of Nature, the freedom of trade, the operation of the natural factors of supply and demand and the maintenance of the gold standard.


184. ECONOMIC CONCEPTS IN ISLAM


Socialism or Collectivism is the opposite of Individualism. Islam, however, maintains its own concept of Socialism which avoids the two extremes. In the Islamic conception of Socialism certain basic concepts such as milk, mata, riba, etc., are very essential.

This booklet undertakes to define these terms with reference to the Qur’an, the Sunnah of the Prophet and the practice of his Companions.

ISBN No. 969-432-167-0. 12 cm. x 17.5 cm. 47 pp. (H.B) Rs 70

HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY AND POLITICS

186. MODERNIZATION MENACES MUSLIMS

Aslam Siddiqi

Too many, too intricate and too crucial problems beset Muslims. They have lost track of reality. Turn wherever they may, they find no guidance. Capitalism, Nationalism, Socialism, even Democracy do not quench the thirst of their anxious soul. In the context of Islam, these are false gods which lead them further astray.

This book indicates a direction in which to look for solutions. If Muslims “strive” hard, the compass may start working and indicate “Our Path” in this modern wasteland. With luck, they may discover “who they are, and what their role is to be”.

187. DECISIVE MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF ISLAM

M. A. Enan

This is one of the most important subjects of Islamic

historyindeed, perhaps, the most important of all. Besides its abundant and eventful episodes, it throws much light on the eternal struggle between the East and the West. The encounter of Islam and Christendom, in the fields of war and peace, was always decisive and had the most far-reaching effects on their destinies. Nothing has hitherto been written on similar lines.

S. Khuda Bakhsh, Tr.

Prof. Hell’s monograph is at once a summing-up and a revaluation of Arab civilization.

research and indispensable for the students of Muslim history. Recommended by various Universities for students of political science.

193. CHRISTIANITY IN HISTORY

Ahmad D. Azhar

The writer of this book has set himself a dual aim: to endeavour to reinfuse a sense of history into a people who, more than anything else, are known to history as perhaps its greatest devotees and who more than six hundred years ago, produced a historian of Ibn Khaldun’s calibre, and to endeavour to rouse the rational conscience of a West which has deliberately, at least insouciantly, or perhaps only ignorantly, forgotten history, forgotten the debt it owed to the Moorish teacher and civiliser of the “Dark” Europe, and which, taking a rather undue advantage of the present weak and ignorant East, today insists on identifying the values of the modern civilization with those of the prevalent Christianity.

This dual aim, the author is conscious, is hard to fulfil: on educating the West, attempts even by Western scholars have gone in vain: as for re-educating the East the Eastern mind is so used to the “history” taught to it by its Western masters that the historical truth - retold to be derided by its contented and complacent ignorance. The author lays no claim to originality, but he does claim a privilege: the West may, for a change, find itself more attracted to read something about itself from the pen of an Oriental. This book may go the way of its infinitely more illustrious Western predecessors, but it may at least excite more curiosity and may therefore die harder.

194. ANECDOTES FROM ISLAM

Kings and courtiers, princes and poets, soldiers and saints, all crowd in the scene, to tell the tale of their real self through the representative incidents


of their life and activity. It is a treasure of illuminating types and instances of human achievement - shining in their inherent glory, charming in their absorbing interest and inspiring in their irresistible appeal.

195. THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF MUSLIM HISTORIOGRAPHY

M. G. Rasul

The history books taught in our schools and colleges being mainly translation works give us at best the knowledge of our history and culture from secondary sources. They do not always convey the real purpose of the original writer, nor do they portray the true picture of our people, society and culture. Apart from the natural inability of the translation to communicate the real aim or intent of the original very faithfully and properly, there may be the translator’s ulterior motive interspersed through his work. Hence the necessity for a study of the original sources.

This book aims at awakening an urge in the mind of the students and other readers for the study of history and ascertaining the truth from reliable sources.

ISBN No. 969-432-178-6. 14 cm. x 21.5cm. xii + 108 pp. (H.B) Rs 210

196. INDO-ISRAEL RELATIONS

Muhammad Tayab

It is a study of Indo-Israel collusion against the Arab world and is based on factual data.


197. MUSLIM CONTRIBUTION TO GEOGRAPHY

Dr. Nafis Ahmad

There have been many attempts to recognise and appreciate the extent and value of Muslim contribution to geography, yet the history of Muslim geographical thought was still to be written.

The writer of this volume has offered it as a modest contribution to studies directed to that end. The author’s aim has been twofold: first to illustrate the theme with the help of a large variety of facts, and secondly to evaluate the output spread over a period of more


than six centuries, in a systematic form according to the practice and parlance of modern geography.

The book traces the beginnings and follows the development of Muslim geographical literature, examines theories concerning the earth, details achievements in cartography, mathematical geography, use of instruments and physical, human and descriptive geography. It also lists principal geographers and describes their works. Maps and illustrations.

200. THE PREACHING OF ISLAM

Sir Thomas Arnold

It is the zeal for the truth of their religion that has always inspired the Muslims to carry with them the message of Islam to the people of every land into which they go. It is the history of the birth of this missionary zeal, its inspiring forces and the modes of its activity that form the subject of this book. Millions of Muslims scattered over the world are evidence of its workings through the length of all these centuries.

It can be justifiably claimed that nothing has so far been written on these lines.

201. THE EVOLUTION OF INDO-MUSLIM THOUGHT AFTER 1857

Dr. L. S. May

This is a study of the relationship between religion and politics among Muslims of India and attempts to tell how Indo-Muslim nationalism originated, its developmental course and its ultimate ripening into Pakistan. The major questions raised and answered in the book are:

1. Did the “Mutiny” of 1857 give birth to Indo-Muslim nationalism?

2. To what extent are the philosophico-legal foundations of Pakistan Movement derived from Islam and from foreign sources?

This provides an analysis of earlier political and other events, Islamic modernism and educational principles.

The author hopes that the analysis presented in the book may contribute to a greater historical perspective.

203. STUDY OF HISTORY


In this booklet, the learned author gives the lie to the impression of some reputed Western historians and Orientalists that history is a mere collection of myths and conjectures in which much hearsay and many cooked-up stories have been recorded. He has ably shown what the Islamic conception of history is and what important part has been played in it by the intellectual, moral and spiritual revolution effected by Islam.

Did he leave anything as a permanent legacy to the world at large? The author takes up these three questions one by one and arrives at a conclusion on the claim to greatness of Muhammad the Prophet of Islam. And Abdullah Yusuf Ali, please remember, is the author. A very interesting and thought-provoking little book.

ISLAMIC LAW & JURISPRUDENCE

206. ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE IN THE MODERN WORLD

Dr. M. Yusuf Guraya

This compact monograph proves that complete and perfect Islamic Sources were the sole and absolute basis of the glory, splendour and magnificence of the Muslim past. The whole edifice of Islamic civilization was raised on these fundamental principles. They were the inspirational, stimulative force for providing incentive and impulse to the Muslims to conceive original and creative ideas in all spheres of life and to put them into practice. The contributions and achievements of the Muslim jurists were marvellous. The legal system brought about by the Fuqaha fulfilled all the requirements of the largest Islamic caliphate. After the fall of Baghdad in general and during the decline of the Mughals in particular, the accumulative secondary traditional material created by different generations of the Muslims began to get greater importance than the original sources of Islam. After the establishment of Pakistan the new environment required reinterpretation of Islamic teachings. So the author of this book emphasises to turn to the original sources of Islam. Our jurists should make new Fiqa in the light of the Qur’an. This book impels the jurists to make new Fiqa which will go a long way to unite the Muslims.


207. ORIGINS OF ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE

Dr. M. Yusuf Guraya (With Special reference to Muwatta Imam Malik)

It is a creative and original work on Islamic jurisprudence. The etymology and chronology of the Islamic term Sunnah has been discussed most exhaustively from the earliest period and sources of Islam. The terms Sunnah, Sunnah al-Muslimin, Sunnah of the Prophet have been lucidly explained. The technical and legal difference between Sunnah and Hadith has been thoroughly studied for the first time.



208. THE MUSLIM CONDUCT OF STATE

Dr. M. Hamidullah

Islam and Muslim jurists could never be unmindful to public and private international relations with States and races. With the march of time, an exhaustive code of conduct of Muslim States was eventually developed. The author, after a laborious research of several years in the various libraries of East and West, compiled the present book. It is a treatise on Muslim public international law consisting of the laws of peace, war and neutrality, together with precedents from orthodox practice, and preceded by an historical and general introduction. Sixth revised edition.

216. PERSIAN PSALMS

Dr. Sir Mohammad Iqbal. A J. Arberry, Tr.

Sir Muhammad Iqbal was not only a great thinker and


philosopher, he was also a great poet. In the Zabur-i-‘Ajam of which this is an English translation, he has conveyed his profound and noble message to humanity through the medium of the Persian ghazal or lyric, and has proved himself a worthy successor of that long tradition which includes such names as those of Sa’di, Rumi and Hafiz.

217. THE SECRETS OF THE SELF (Translation of Iqbal’s Asrar-i-Khudi)

R. A. Nicholson Tr.

While Hindu philosophers, in explaining the doctrine of the Unity of Being, addressed themselves to the head; Iqbal, like the Persian poets who teach the same doctrine, takes a more dangerous course and aims at the heart. He is no mean poet, and his verse can raise or persuade even if his logic fails to convince.

This is the second edition of the translation, revised by the translator in the light of corrections suggested by Iqbal himself soon after the publication of the first edition in 1920.

Versified English Translation of Iqbal’s Gulshan-i-Raz-i-Jadid and Bandagi Namah by M. Hadi Hussain. Introduction by S.A. Vahid.

ISBN No. 969-432-200-6. 12 cm. x 17.5 cm. xxxi + 148 pp. (H.B) Rs 140

218. THE NEW ROSE GARDEN OF MYSTERY AND THE BOOK OF SLAVES

Gulshan-i-Raz-i-Jadid was composed by Iqbal in response to Mahmud Shabistari’s Gulshan-i-Raz which was composed in reply to a series of fifteen questions on mystical doctrine pronounced by an enquirer from Khurasan, named Amir Hussaini. Iqbal’s poem has nine questions; he has left some of the questions contained in Shabistari’s poem and has, in some cases, included two questions in one.

Bandagi Namah, unlike Gulshan-i-Raz-i-Jadid, is translated in blank verse, and describes the arts, music and painting, and religion of slave nations, and the architecture of free nations. Iqbal in this poem rises to the heights of his poetic genius.

Some of these writings throw new light on the personality of this great genius.


220. NOTES ON IQBAL’S “ASRAR-I-KHUDI”

A. J. Arberry, Ed.

A copy of The Secret of the Self (Asrar-i-Khudi) in possession of Dr. Nicholson was found to contain corrections and annotations in Iqbal’s own handwriting. Prof. Arberry found that some of Iqbal’s most interesting notes had not been included in the revised edition of Nicholson’s translation. In this booklet, Prof. Arberry has drawn up a list of all the passages where corrections have been made, so as to indicate the nature of these corrections and the exact relationship between the first and second editions of Professor Nicholson’s translation.

LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND EDUCATION

229. AL-MINHAJ

Dr. G. M. D. Sufi

Educationists look upon the curriculum as one of the fundamental

problems of education. Unless we decide what is to be taught, we

cannot determine the plan of the school, indeed its very location,

its equipment, organisation, the choice of teachers and the

methods of teaching. In fact, much of our efficiency and well-being

rests on what we decide to be the ultimate form of our curriculum.

The author took up an aspect of this problem for this reasonone

aspect as it concerns one people, the Muslims.

The author taught in a school, superintended a teachers training

institution, worked as the Registrar of a University and remained

connected with a divisional inspectorate of schools. He is neither a

visionary nor a purely idealist in what he has set forth in this book.

He surveys the curricula under Turks, Afghans, Mughals and the

British and, last, expresses his own thoughts on curriculum in the

Indo-Pakistan subcontinent.

232. ARABIC PHONETICS (Ibn Sina’s Risalah)

Dr. K. I. Semaan, Tr.

The development of the Muslim science of Linguistics remains an untold story. This is because linguists regard Medieval Linguistics as a dull and an unproductive field. This volume is intended to throw some light on the general subject of medieval linguistics in general and Arabic linguistics in particular by placing at the disposal of the researcher a model linguistic essay: Risalah by Abu Ali Ibn Sina on the points of articulation of speech-sounds.

Dr. Sh. Inayatullah, Foreword by Sir Hamilton Gibb

The learned author in the Preface says: “The average educated man has a hazy notion that Arabic is important as the scriptural language of the Muslims; but beyond this he seems to know little about it. But Arabic, though it started on its worldwide career as the language of uncouth Bedouins, grew into the vehicle of the brilliant Islamic civilisation; and that whereas it is primarily important as the religious language of the Muslims, it has in the course of time developed many other aspects of great significance which entitle it to our serious study”.

Dr. Safdar Mahmud

Most of the books that have been written on the emergence of Bangladesh project a particular viewpoint.

243. JESUS THE PROPHET OF ISLAM Muhammad Ataur-Rahim

First published in 1977, Muhammad 'Ata ur-Rahim's classic text examines Jesus as a prophet teaching the Unity of God, and the historical collapse of Christianity as it abandoned his teaching. Now revised by coauthor Ahmad Thomson, the book sketches the dramatic picture of the original followers of Jesus who affirmed Unity, showing how 'Christianity' became the fiction that replaced their truth. A wide-ranging study that covers the Gospel of Barnabas, the Gospel of Hermes, the shepherd, early and later Unitarian Christians, and Jesus in the gospels and in the Qur'an and hadith, Jesus: Prophet of Islam argues persuasively that the idea of Jesus as part of a trinity was a Greek pagan concept adopted by early Christian missionaries to gain converts among the Greeks, and did not become a widely accepted Christian doctrine until after the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D.

Edward William Lane The most scholarly dictionary of the Arabic language

available. This work is the product of over thirty years of unrelenting labour. It is a work of such unique greatness that, since its first appearance almost 150 years ago, it has remained to this day supreme in the field of Arabic lexicography. No scholar or group of scholars has produced anything to supplant it. As it originally appeared and was later reproduced, the Lexicon consisted of eight large, cumbersome volumes, which made it difficult to use. Now, for the first time, the Islamic Texts Society has, with no loss whatsoever of clarity or legibility, brought together the eight large volumes into two compact volumes; it is now possible to keep the Lexicon on the work desk and refer to it with ease.
