Singing with the Mountains
An illuminating story of a Sufi community that sought the revelation of God. In the Afghan highlands of the sixteenth century, the messianic community known as the Roshaniyya not only desired to find God’s word and to abide by it but also attempted to practice God’s word and to develop techniques of language intended to render their own tongues as the organs of continuous revelation. As their critics would contend, however, the Roshaniyya attempted to make language do something that language should not do—infuse the semiotic with the divine. Their story thus ends in a tower of skulls, the proliferation of heresiographies that detailed the sins of the Roshaniyya, and new formations of ...
Muslims Through Discourse
In this rich account of a Muslim society in highland Sumatra, Indonesia, John Bowen describes how men and women debate among themselves ideas of what Islam is and should be--as it pertains to all areas of their lives, from work to worship.

Sunan Musafir
ALLAH menciptakan cinta, justeru cinta harus dipertahankan dengan sebaik-baik cara. Maka itu sebagai manusia, Saifudin atau Laksamana Sunan tidak terlepas daripada belenggu cinta. Tahun 1511 merupakan detik keindahan, cabaran serta air mata. Pengembaraan Saifudin berserta sahabat-sahabatnya ternyata bukan satu perjalanan yang mudah.

Bagaimanapun, kejahatan seolah-olah mengejarnya sampai ke hujung nyawa. Berjayakah Saifudin menewaskan mereka? Ramlee Awang Murshid dalam karya terkini, SUNAN MUSAFIR, lebih banyak bermain dengan ‘ruang dan waktu’. Lebih menitikberatkan ‘cinta dan air mata’. Mengutamakan ‘perjuangan dan kesabaran’. Yakinilah... pada ketika diri merasakan tidak mempunyai sesiapa, ALLAH itu mencukupi segala-galanya.
