This valuable work on the methodology of exegesis by Dr. Recep Dogan will serve as an important source of future works in the field. With his expertise in the history and exegesis of the Qur'an, as well as his familiarity and comprehensive understanding of Islamic disciplines, Dr. Dogan has managed to combine both classical and modern acquis.

Usul al-Fiqh
This book deals with the sources of Islamic jurisprudence and their importance in deducing the religious rulings. It covers the concept of ijtihād (independent reasoning), its conditions and application and illustrates why it is a practice for experts rather than laymen. It also explains the differences in the levels of expertise of the mujtahids. In fact, there are seven distinct classifications of mujtahid. The book also covers the communication of God as Lawgiver with regard to the conduct of liable persons. It details the difference in probative value of communication based on the extent to which it binds an individual be it absolutely binding, a recommendation or mere permissibility. The reader will be able to understand the difference between fiqh (law) and Usūl al-Fiqh (methodology of law). Fiqh is the law itself whereas Usūl al-Fiqh is the methodology utilized to extract the law. The relationship between the two disciplines resembles that of the rules of grammar to a language, or of logic to philosophy. Usūl al-Fiqh in this sense provides the standard criteria for the correct deduction of the rulings of fiqh from the sources of Shari’ah (the Qur’an and Sunnah).

It discusses the history of relations between the AKP and the Gülen movement and analyzes the reasons that caused tensions and, eventually, a radical rupture between them. In order to help readers to better understand the difference between Political Islam and civil Islam, the project explains the political theology of each group and compares them to each other. The author explains the human rights violations, restrictions on the media and the destruction of democratic institutions in Erdogan’s New Turkey project.

A History of the Methodology of Qurʼanic Exegeses
The Qur an, the primary source of knowledge for all Muslims, contains universal principles. This Holy Book has been interpreted numerous times by scholars since its revelation. Despite being a single text, just 300 pages long, the rich content of the Qur an has afforded multiple types of exegesis, each of them different according to the capacity of the scholar, the conditions of the time, and the mentality behind the approach. Great linguists tried to interpret the Qur an by following the guidelines of Arabic grammar while Kalam scholars aimed to establish the sound pillars of Islamic theology with their Qur anic exegeses. Since the revelation of the Qur an, which took place over a period of...
The Exemplary Role Model Muhammad
We tried to show Muhammad's exemplary life so people can eradicate themselves of misconceptions and the Muslims can follow His way and represent Islam in the best form. The books which cover the biography of the Prophet usually give chronological information about His life; however, do not give insight into the exemplary characteristics. For example the Prophet as educator, leader, the commander of an army, father, husband, ruler of state is absent from regular Sirah books. I came to the conclusion that it is beneficial to combine Sirah with the philosophy behind it, so have attempted to do so in this humble work.
Terrorism and Violence in Islamic History and Theological Responses to the Arguments of Terrorists
Starting in the mid-7th century CE, there have been various radical terrorist groups appearing in the Muslim majority communities that have interpreted the Quran and the Prophetic Traditions in very extreme ways in an attempt to justify their violence and mask their evil acts.

In Chapter One, the author highlights the sanctity of human life a...
Unforgettable Words
Hadith is the second source of Islam and it covers the Prophet's every act, word, and confirmation and as well as his physical descriptions. The science of hadith deals with Prophet Muhammad's life and intends to explain based on certain methodology and key concepts. The scholars in the field of hadith have undertaken painstaking efforts to verify the authenticity of hadith and developed hadith sciences and terminological concepts in this field. However, understanding the prophetic traditions based on methodology of hadith is not covered much in English language. Furthermore, hadith studies written in English which combine both traditional and contemporary approaches are very few. Therefore,...
