Interpreting the Qurʼān
How is the Qur'an - central to all Muslim societies - to be understood today in order to meet the needs of these societies? Abdullah Saeed, a distinguished Muslim scholar, explores the interpretation of the ethico-legal content of the Qur'an, whilst taking into consideration the changing nature of the modern world. Saeed explores the current debates surrounding the interpretation of the Qur'an, and their impact on contemporary understanding of this sacred text. Discussing the text's relevance to modern issues without compromising the overall framework of the Qur'an and its core beliefs and practices, he proposes a fresh approach, which takes into account the historical and contemporary contexts of interpretation. Inspiring healthy debate, this book is essential reading for students and scholars seeking a contemporary approach to the interpretation of the Qur'anic text.
Being British Muslims
This highly thought-provoking book, packed with incisive observations and analyses on a wide range of issues facing British Muslims, offers concise yet extensive commentary on the cultural and intellectual contentions in contextualising Islam in the UK. As of 2018, roughly 50% of the UK’s Muslim population was born in the UK. With this shift comes, on one hand, the loss of “old-ways” of experiencing the world and navigating one’s place within it, and on the other hand it comes with the excitement and opportunity to make “new culture.” The questions now facing British Muslims are: “From where can British Muslims get their inspiration?” and “What should be the nature of this ...
Tasawuf dan Tarekat Sejarah Perkembangan dan Alirannya di Malaysia
Buku ini cuba mengupas persoalan mengenai kedudukan dan perkembangan tasawuf dan tarekat di Tanah Melayu/Malaysia. Tasawuf dan tarekat kini seolah-olah dilihat sebagai sesuatu yang terasing dalam Islam oleh sesetengah pihak. Justeru, melalui buku ini persoalan mengenai tasawuf dan tarekat dibincangkan secara agak menyeluruh berkaitan dengan peristilahan tasawuf dan tarekat serta sejarahnya yang bermula pada zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW, kemudian pada zaman sahabat sehinggalah ke zaman seterusnya. Penulis juga melihat dari aspek kedatangan Islam di Alam Melayu dari sudut peranan golongan sufi dan tarekat. Dalam kajian ini, penulis turut menyentuh secara spesifik tentang kepelbagaian organisasi tarekat yang ada di Malaysia bagi menilai sejauh mana kedudukannya di persada masyarakat serta sumbangan kelompok sufi terhadap pembangunan negara. Secara umumnya penulisan buku ini lebih kepada sejarah dan tradisi kesufian yang terdapat di Malaysia yang penulis anggap sebagai kurang disoroti oleh pengkaji secara amnya. Semoga buku ini dapat memberikan maklumat dan panduan tambahan tentang keberadaan tasawuf dan tarekat di Malaysia, khususnya dari sudut perkembangan dan alirannya.

This valuable work presents Ibn Taimiyah's thoughts on the concept of Islamic economics, the state in the economy, on public finance, money, interest, prices, partnership, and profit-sharing, and offers a comparison of his ideas with those of some medieval scholars in Europe, along with a study of his influence on Islamic thinkers in later periods.
The Nasiri Du'a
The Nasiri Du'a This supplication has been tried, tested and proven to relieve distress and to avert difficult situations, especially when they are societal and concern the affairs of all the Muslims. The people of Fez call it "The Sword of Ibn Nasir." They used to teach it to the pupils in the Qur'anic kuttabs and they used it to seek refuge with Allah, using various tunes, in the time of the French oppression and occupation of Morocco. That is the custom of the Muslims: to seek refuge with Allah Almighty in times of hardship. Your Lord says, "Call on Me and I will answer you." (40:60) Shaykh Ibn Nasir Shaykh Muhammad - Fatha - ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Nasir ibn 'Amr ad-Dar'i al-Aghlabi (d. 1085 AH). He is buried in his zawiya in Tamagurt. He was involved in many areas of knowledge such as fiqh, Arabic, kalam, tafsir and tasawwuf. He was a man of worship and of great devotion, scrupulous, and a zahid, a man who established the tariqa and drank from the source of the Reality.
Economic Justice and Shariʻa in the Islamic State
This book describes the Madinan model for correct governance established by the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Islamic governance is nomocratic (law-based), that is, based on Qur'anic law as understood and practised by the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his Companions. Islamic governance, therefore, cannot be categorised as theocratic, democratic, autocratic, oligarchic, or timocratic. The legitimacy of a government is dependent on its execution of justice. Government has to accomplish justice, fairness, equity, fair-mindedness, rightness and correctness. Since governing, that is the exercise of political power, is primarily associated with the production, distribution and consumption of resources, the circulation of wealth is guaranteed by the shari'a (Islamic law) and is the rationale for the existence of governance itself. Islamic law promotes the circulation of wealth and inhibits its stagnation. Accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few invariably leads to oligarchy, something that neither capitalism nor communism have been able to avoid.
