Asma-ul-Husna
God Almighty (Allah in Arabic) has attributes and qualities hundreds of them referred in the Islamic traditions as Names of Allah. The book Asma-ul-Husna describes just ninety-nine of those Names. If anyone recites them 'he/she will enter Paradise, the ever-lasting abode, provided one believes in Allah and Last Day of Judgement and also in the prophet-hood of Mohammad'. The book lists those Names, their translations, brief descriptions and a few Ayats in Arabic from the Quran where the Names are used; translations of the Ayats are included together with Surah and Ayat numbers for reference purposes. The Names are illustrated with beautiful flowers as a reminder of the beautiful things Allah has created.

Putting the Caliph in His Place
Modern scholars have often viewed the Abbasid caliphs of the eleventh and twelfth centuries as pale imitations of their eighth- and ninth- century ancestors. Following the rise of the Buyid amirate in the tenth century, scholars have turned their attention away from the Abbasids - viewing them as inconsequential puppets controlled by stronger powers - and focused their studies on the development of the Buyid and Saljuq dynasties. After the Buyid deposition of the Abbasid caliph, al-Mustakfi, in the mid-tenth century, the Caliphate is said to have been relegated to puppet status, vainly clinging to its past glory until its destruction at the hands of the Mongols in 1258. away their ability to administer and defend the central Islamic lands. All that was left to them was the prestige of their institution, however vaguely defined. For this reason, there has been little if any modern research on the Abbasid caliphs of this period.
