This biography of the Muslim scholastic and humanist Ibn 'Aqil (A.H. 431-513/ A.D. 1040-1119) sheds light on one of the most important periods of classical Islam, one which has had a significant impact on religious and intellectual culture in the Christian Latin West.
The relation between Islam and the West is the topic of an ongoing debate. The debate often leaves us with a choice between two mutually exclusive worlds: the modern West with its enlightenment and science and accompanying secular education, or else Islam and Islamic education, characterised by orthodoxy and tradition.

Wherever knowledge and learning have blossomed, education, schooling and teaching must have flourished, too. Which educational culture was part of the highly developed intelle...
This comprehensive history of linguistics is part of a 5 volume set. Together, the volumes examine the social, cultural and religious functions of language, its place in education, the prestige attached to different varieties of language, and the presentation of lexical and grammatical descriptions. They explore the linguistic interests and assumptions of individual cultures in their own terms, without trying to transpose and reshape them into the context of contemporary ideas of what the scientific study of language ought to be. The authors of individual chapters are all specialists who have been able to analyse the primary sources, and so produce original syntheses which offer an authoritative view of the different traditions and periods. Volime One examines the developments of Chinese linguistics, Indian grammatical tradition, the linguistic interests of the Near East, the Hebrew tradition, and the Arabic grammatical system of the Middle Ages.

At the same time, the contributions highlight the nature of contemporary social life, including virtual communication, the nature of communit...

Kata para sufi, satu sujud saja—yang betul-betul dalam keadaan penghambaan yang tinggi—akan mengetuk rahmat-Nya, sehingga Dia akan memberikan segalanya, termasuk surga-Nya. Itulah tujuan merayu Tuhan, yakni penghambaan yang tulus sekaligus indah kepada-Nya. Bukan sekadar ritual belaka. Endorsement “Tuhan Maha Asyik.

Tidak sedikit yang mengira bahwa Islam hanya mengurusi masalah shalat, zakat, puasa, haji, halal haram, talak, jual beli dan lainnya.
