The New Muslims of Post-Conquest Iran
How do converts to a religion come to feel an attachment to it? The New Muslims of Post-Conquest Iran answers this important question for Iran by focusing on the role of memory and its revision and erasure in the ninth to eleventh centuries. During this period, the descendants of the Persian imperial, religious and historiographical traditions not only wrote themselves into starkly different early Arabic and Islamic accounts of the past but also systematically suppressed much knowledge about pre-Islamic history. The result was both a new 'Persian' ethnic identity and the pairing of Islam with other loyalties and affiliations, including family, locale and sect. This pioneering study examines revisions to memory in a wide range of cases, from Iran's imperial and administrative heritage to the Prophet Muhammad's stalwart Persian companion, Salman al-Farisi, and to memory of Iranian scholars, soldiers and rulers in the mid-seventh century.
From Esfahan to Madinah in Search of Truth
Salman al-Farisi of Esfahan in Iran (may Allah be pleased with him) left his home, and forsook his kith and kin in search of truth, and travelled far and wide for its sake. His journey ultimately ended in Madinah, where he met the Prophet and became his sahabi. The vivid account of his eventful life which is both interesting and instructive makes an excellent reading for the non-native students of the Arabic Language. Those who have completed the Madinah Arabic Course can easily follow this hadith.

Salman El-Farsi
Salman al-Farsi This is a story of a seeker of Truth, the story of Salman the Persian, gleaned, to begin with, from his own words: I grew up in the town of Isfahan in Persia in the village of Jayyan. My father was the Dihqan or chief of the village. He was the richest person there and had the biggest house. Since I was a child my father loved me, more than he loved any other. As time went by his love for me became so strong and overpowering that he feared to lose me or have anything happen to me. So he kept me at home, a veritable prisoner, in the same way that young girls were kept. I became devoted to the Magian religion so much so that I attained the position of custodian of the fire which we worshipped. My duty was to see that the flames of the fire remained burning and that it did not go out for a single hour, day or night.
Extremist Shiites
Little is known in the West about the division of the Islamic world into Shiites and Sunnites and even less about the stratification of these two groups, with most of the attention going to the Sunnites. Moosa's comprehensive study of the origins and cultural aspects of the different extremist, or Ghulat, Shiite sects in the Middle East is a ground-breaking work. These sects whose 'extremism' is essentially religious are generally a peaceful people and, except for the Nusayris of Syria, are not political activists.
Islamic Manners
Written by one of the outstanding scholars of the 20th Century, Islamic Manners is a vital book that exemplifies the character and personality of every Muslim. Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghudda (1917-1997) was a leading scholar in the field of hadith. This book discusses essential adab (manners) and covers the following areas: Importance of Appearance Entering and Leaving a House The Manners of Visiting The Manners of Conversation Social Manners Communicating with Non-Muslims The Manners of Eating & Drinking Weddings Visiting a Sick Person Condolences
Salman Farsi (Salman Mfursi)
Salman Mfursi alikuwa mmoja wa masahaba wa Mtume Muhammad (s.a.w.w.). Kama sahaba wa Mtume, alikuwa maarufu zaidi miongoni mwa waliokuwa maarufu. Lakini simulizi za maisha yake, kinyume na simulizi za maisha ya wengi wa masahaba wengine wa Mtukufu Mtume, (s.a.w.w.) zimefichika katika fumbo. Ni kidogo sana kinachojulikana kuhusu simulizi hizo. Hii ni ajabu, ukichukulia hadhi yake kubwa mbele ya Mtukufu Mtume (s.a.w.w.) - bwana wake katika dunia hii na akhera - na kujiweka kwake katika hali ya shauku kubwa na Uislalmu. Matukio ya niaisha yake, inaelekea yanasubiri mtafutaji ukweli wa siku zijazo, kuja kuyafichua. Jaribio la wastani limefanywa katika kurasa za kitabu hiki katika kuelezea maisha...
Muhammad Messenger of Allah
Kitab Ash-Shifa bi ta'rif huquq al-Mustafa, (Healing by the recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One), of Qadi 'Iyad (d. 544H/1149CE) is perhaps the most frequently used and commented upon handbook in which the Prophet's, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, life, his qualities and his miracles are described in every detail. Generally known by its short title, Ash-Shifa, this work was so highly admired throughout the Muslim world that it soon acquired a sanctity of its own for it is said: "If Ash-Shifa is found in a house, this house will not suffer any harm... when a sick person reads it or it is recited to him, Allah will restore his health." Ash-Shifa gathers together all that is n...
