Beware of Imams Bearing Gifts of Peace and Tolerance: From Terror to Dhimmitude
Denis W. Schulz
$20.00

About this product:
When Abraham Lincoln ran for President in 1860 he was opposed to the extension of slavery into the territories. William H. Seward had warned of an 'irrepressible conflict.' A house divided against itself cannot stand," said Lincoln. "I believe the government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved; I do not expect the house to fall; but I expect it will cease to be divided." The threat today is the same--the extension of slavery into the territories with the United States one of the territories to be exploited. Islam is on the march . The world cannot exist half Muslim and half free. It will become one or the other. This is the Last Crusade. It is the one that must be won

BOOK
Justice and Remembrance: Introducing the Spirituality of Imam Ali
Reza Shah-Kazemi
$19.46

About this product:

Ali b. Abi Talib, son-in-law and cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, first Shi'i imam and fourth caliph, is a monumental figure within the Islamic tradition. But despite the immense importance of Imam Ali, there is a dearth of literature in Western languages about his life and thought. This book -- the first serious engagement in English with the intellectual principles underpinning his teachings -- is therefore a welcome and valuable addition to the sources available. It consists of three parts. Part one introduces the person of Ali in a general manner, and focuses particularly on the spiritual and ethical content of his teachings. Part two evaluates Ali's "sacred conception of justice" Part three addresses the theme of spiritual realization through the remembrance of God, the central mystical practice of the Sufis. Justice and Remembrance will be of great value to students and scholars of Islamic thought, as well as to those interested in the relationship between spirituality and ethics.

BOOK
Imam Al-Shatibi's Theory of the Higher Objectives and Intents of Islamic Law
Ahmad Al-Raysuni
$20.43

About this product:
With the end of the early Islamic period, Muslim scholars came to sense that a rift had begun to emerge between the teachings and principles of Islam and Muslims daily reality and practices. The most important means by which scholars sought to restore the intimate contact between Muslims and the Quran was to study the objectives of Islam, the causes behind Islamic legal rulings and the intentions and goals underlying the Shariah, or Islamic Law. They made it clear that every legal ruling in Islam has a function which it performs, an aim which it realizes, a cause, be it explicit or implicit, and an intention which it seeks to fulfill, and all of this in order to realize benefit to human beings or to ward off harm or corruption. They showed how these intentions, and higher objectives might at times be contained explicitly in the texts of the Quran and the Sunnah, while at other times, scholars might bring them to light by means of independent reasoning based on their understanding of the Quran and the Sunnah within a framework of time and space.
