Jihad and its Interpretation in Pre-Colonial Morocco
This book investigates the importance of waging jihad for legitimacy in pre-colonial Morocco. It counters colonial interpretations of the pre-colonial Moroccan sultanate as hopelessly divided into territories of 'obedience' and 'dissidence' by suggesting that state-society warfare was one aspect of a constant process of political negotiation. Detailed analysis of state and society interpretations of jihad during the critical period of the French conquest of Algeria clearly shows this process at play and its steady evolution in the context of increasing European pressure, which culminated in the imposition of the French protectorate in 1912.
The Islamic Law of War
Al-Dawoody examines the justifications and regulations for going to war in both international and domestic armed conflicts under Islamic law. He studies the various kinds of use of force by both state and non-state actors in order to determine the nature of the Islamic law of war.

A selection of writings by a great nineteenth-century Sufi Shaikh in the direct lineage of Ibn 'Arabi.
The Epistemology of Ibn Khaldun
This is an analytical examination of Ibn Khaldun's epistemology, centred on Chapter Six of the Muqaddima. In this chapter, entitled The Book of Knowledge (Kitab al'Ilm), Ibn Khaldun sketched his general ideas about knowledge and science and its relationship with human social organisation and the establishment of a civilisation.
Sacred Law In The Holy City
This volume analyzes the political and socio-economic roles of the Muslim community of Jerusalem in the Ottoman period by focusing upon the rebellion of 1834 against Muhammad Ali from a natural law perspective using the archives of the Islamic court.
Custom in Islamic Law and Legal Theory
This book explores the relationship between custom and Islamic law and seeks to uncover the role of custom in the construction of legal rulings. On a deeper level, however, it deals with the perennial problem of change and continuity in the Islamic legal tradition (or any tradition for that matter).
The Miraculous Language of the Qur'an: Evidence of Divine Origin
This study illustrates why the language of the Qur'an is miraculous, unique, and evidence of divine authority. The author compares the language of the Qur'an with the language of pre-Islamic poetry, the Prophet's words (hadith), and the language of the Arabs both past and present, to demonstrate that although the Qur'an was revealed in Arabic it was at the same time an Arabic which was entirely new. Original and early Muslim audiences viewed this as miraculous and responded to the Qur'an's words, sounds, rhythms, etc. in a manner consistent with a deeper appreciation of its beauty and majesty which modern ears, trained by familiarity, and despite being surrounded by all manner of dictionarie...
Allahs Liebling
Vor aller Zeit geschaffen ist Mohammed "Allahs Liebling", denn indem er ihn schuf, bewies er sich als der Schöpfer. Als Mohammed im ausgehenden 6. Jahrhundert in die irdische Existenz trat, begann der Äon des Muslims. Ihm allein steht wahres Wissen zur Verfügung, das ihm, übermittelt durch Mohammed, von Allah her zufloss. Um dieser Übermittlung willen muss der Muslim seinen Propheten uneingeschränkt verehren, sein Handeln und Denken nachahmen. Der geringste Zweifel an ihm ist verderblich und daher strengstens zu bestrafen. Tilman Nagel beschreibt die Herausbildung und den Inhalt des Mohammedglaubens und macht den Leser umfassend mit dem Gedankengut bekannt, das einer Einfügung der Mus...
Mohammed
Von Legenden überwuchert, durch Sprachregelungen entstellt, von Denkverboten verdunkelt, so zeigt sich dem Wissbegierigen das Bild Mohammeds. Ist er überhaupt eine historische Gestalt? Er ist es! So lautet das Ergebnis langjähriger Forschungsarbeit, die nicht nur die muslimischen Standardquellen einer kritischen Prüfung unterzogen hat, sondern auch die vielschichtige "Nebenüberlieferung". Mohammed erweist sich als der Exponent einer im 4. Jahrhundert einsetzenden hochreligiösen Durchdringung des arabischen Heidentums, die sich nicht nur im Koran niedergeschlagen hat. Der historische Mohammed kämpfte zunächst vergeblich um die Macht in Mekka und setzte dann von Medina aus eine Eroberu...
Allah: The Concept of God in Islam
Humans are comprised of a body and a soul, yet most of them take care of their bodies and forget about their souls. This book wakes them up, the author hopes, and provides them with a dose of spirituality which they may never have had before. This book is written for everyone, and its stories will appeal to many, if not most, people who will find in them beauty and universality: There is One God, one human family started by Adam and Eve, one truth, one heaven, one hell, one right and one wrong... and one religion. Call any of these by any name, it does not matter, for calling a rose by any other name does not change its beauty, hue, aroma or anything else. So is the case particularly with Go...
