This book focuses on the time before the Quran and the emergence of Islam. The research delves into the origin of the Quran, using its verses alongside investigative works which support various new theories. The Quran is a written document which, according to recent discoveries such as, the recently discovered world's oldest Quran manuscript at the University of Birmingham, can be traced to the lifetime of Prophet Mohammad. It focuses on the time preceding Islam and highlights the relationships that are pivotal for understanding the development of Islam. The danger posed by false interpretations of the Quran has become increasingly more serious from first appearance of Islam until today, the result of which we can see clearly in our current world. Hence the Quran itself is the most important document to be researched and studied for resolving the problems caused by its false interpretation.
The Pearl of Sufism offers a rich insight into the central themes and principles of Sufism which is the spiritual path of unity, love, tolerance that is centred on the heart. This book describes the function and the role of the heart for the Sufis in a literal and practical manner. For the Sufis, the heart is dwelling place of the soul, which a Sufi seeker connects to through the use of mystical rhythms. Sufism, is a spiritual path which originated during the beginning of the history of humanity. It is a living stream passing from one master to another and is connected to great prophets such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad. This book through exploring the fascinating perspective of the ongoing line of mysticism and the teachings of Jesus offers convincing evidence which can lead to a new understanding of the roots of religion. The teachings of the book are seasoned with wisdom and compassion, and are filled with original Sufi stories, and aphorisms that one can return to again and again.
This book is an introduction to the ancient Gnostic science of Heart Meditation through the use of mystical rhythms. Over the last decades scientific research has established the benefits of meditation for our minds and bodily health. However, most of the research has been focused on the effect of meditation on the mind as traditional meditation techniques concentrate primarily on the mind and its relation to the body. However, Gnostics, for thousands of years, have focused their meditation techniques on the heart because they recognise the importance of the heart as a gateway for spiritual enlightenment; as well as the role it has in creating inner balance in our minds and improving our physical health. This booklet is an introductory guide to this technique which should be practiced under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
Jesus Christ - "Soul of God" - had a "contemporary double". This "son of man" was also named Jesus. He was also born in Jerusalem around two thousand years ago, in a Jewish family. He was also a son of parents named as Mary and Joseph. He had also a brother named James. He also knew a woman known as Mary Magdalena, and a man named Judas. There were many similarities between Jesus, son of Mary, and his double. When Jesus (son of Mary) was claimed by St. John the Baptist to be "Christ", and his enemies wanted to eliminate John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, the double of Jesus decided to sacrifice his life for his master in order that his master could achieve his divine mission. The recent discovery of an old Jewish family tomb in Jerusalem fits with the explanation of an Old Persian book named Tarikh Bal'arni (Bal'ami's book of history") which discusses a second Jesus who was a contemporary of Jesus Christ and who was crucified in his place...
In this book the reader is exposed to teachings of Sufism, which is branch of Gnosticism (the esoteric path to self-awareness). Each, individual is composed of an existence and an essence. The latter is an evolving reality. At any moment an individual can become a demon or an angel. One radically becomes a demon if the demonic drives of his ego take charge - an angel if the angelic attributes of his spirit occupy the terrain. The person who seeks victory of his spirit over his ego produces waves around his spirit-waves that will be captured by him who will teach the person the techniques of esoteric development. He will appear in the person's life at the opportune moment...
Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass die im Iran verfassungsrechtlich garantierten Personalstatuten ("ahvāl-e šakhsīye") der offiziell anerkannten religiösen Minderheiten (Zoroastrier, Juden und Christen), diesen durchaus Rechte hinsichtlich ihrer persönlichen Angelegenheiten gewähren. Dennoch kommt es zu Maßnahmen, die vor allem die völkerrechtlichen Rechte der religiösen Minderheiten nach Art. 27 IPbpR beeinträchtigen. Die Arbeit behandelt erstmalig einen Rechtsvergleich dieser Statuten. Zudem behandelt die Autorin den Schutz religiöser Minderheiten im Völkerrecht, die Rechtsstellung religiöser Minderheiten im islamischen Recht und ausführlich die Rechtstellung religiöser Minderheiten im Iran (u.a. Sunniten, Sufi-Orden, Ahl-e Haq-Orden, Aleviten, Zaiditen, Ismailiten, Zoroastrier, Juden, Christen, Bahai, Mandäer und Yeziden). Die Autorin bietet Lösungen zur Behebung der Probleme der religiösen Minderheiten an und leistet einen Beitrag für eine zukünftige Harmonisierung zwischen iranischem Recht und Völkerrecht.
