Doctrinal Instruction in Early Islam
Ghulām Khalīl’s (d. 275/888) creed is a statement of faith and a guide for determining belief and unbelief. It, moreover, aims to regulate social behaviour. The present study offers a fascinating examination of this important creed, along with a critical edition of the Arabic text and a new English translation.
The Sunna
Sunna (Muhammads sædvane), det vil sige, et antal overleverede traditioner om profetens måde at gøre ting på - som grundlag for den islamiske livsførelse
The Sunna and its Status in Islamic Law
This volume provides an overview of the nature and scope of the concept of Sunna both in pre-modern and modern Islamic discussions. The main focus is on shedding more light on the context in which the term Sunna in the major works of Islamic law and legal theory across all of the major madhahib was employed during the first six centuries Hijri.
The Sunna and Shi'a in History
Sunni-Shi'i relations have undergone significant transformations in recent decades. In order to understand these developments, the contributors to the present volume demonstrate the complexity of Sunni-Shi'i relations by analyzing political, ideological, and social encounters between the two communities from early Islamic history to the present.
Quran & Sunna
Der Quran und die Sunna sind die Fundamente des Islam. Aus diesen beiden Quellen entnimmt der Muslim die islamische Rechtsprechung. Um den Quran richtig verstehen zu können, ist es wichtig die Umstände der Offenbarung zu kennen, welche Frage dabei zu beantworten war oder in welcher Lebenssituation sich der Prophet Muhammad, Friede und Segen auf ihn, befand. Daher sollte man gute Kenntnisse über die Sira (das Leben) des Propheten haben. Alles, was der Prophet Muhammad, Friede und Segen auf ihn, gemacht hat, gesagt und was er billigend hingenommen hat, dient dem Muslim als Vorbild. Die Sunna bildet damit die Ergänzung zum Quran. Wenn wir also den Islam als Lebensart und Gesetz verstehen wollen, müssen wir auf beide Quellen zurückgreifen. In diesem Heft werden die Begriffe Quran und Sunna erklärt.

Islamic Guide to Sexual Relations
Fulfilment of sexual desire and needs are key in sustaining a harmonious marital relationship. However, in today’s society, sexual boundaries are being pushed further and further, and often, sexual deviance is openly practised. In such circumstances, there is a need to identify which sexual activities are permissible in Shari’ah. Islamic Guide to Sexual Relations is a serious endeavour to tackle these sensitive matters in a clear and concise manner. While being respectful and dignified in the language he employs, the author does not shy away from discussing sensitive issues. He records, in thorough detail, the guidance Islam provides regarding sexual encounters with one’s spouse. The book covers a wide range of issues, and thus, answers many frequently asked questions on the topic of sexual relations. It concludes with a short chapter addressing Islamic etiquettes and practises pertaining to newlyweds on their first night.

Women and Demons
This rich ethnographic study describes the nearly impossible challenge of the daily existence of women in the poor neighbourhoods of Cairo. When these women fall ill they often put the blame on beings from an invisible world that invaded their body (possession), and they seek the help of traditional healers in the Zar ceremony or Koran healing. This book examines in detail the links between cosmology, power and gender. It tackles questions such as ‘what is possession, what is being said with it, and what does society have to do with it?’. The author, who lived a long time in various poor areas of Cairo, attended many sessions of Koran healing and participated in the Zar ceremony. She observed and interviewed many possessed women, as well as healers and other ‘demon specialists’.
In the Shade of the Sunna
Salafis explicitly base their legitimacy on continuity with the Quran and the Sunna, and their distinctive practices—praying in shoes, wearing long beards and short pants, and observing gender segregation—are understood to have a similarly ancient pedigree. In this book, however, Aaron Rock-Singer draws from a range of media forms as well as traditional religious texts to demonstrate that Salafism is a creation of the twentieth century and that its signature practices emerged primarily out of Salafis’ competition with other social movements amid the intellectual and social upheavals of modernity. In the Shade of the Sunna thus takes readers beyond the surface claims of Salafism’s own proponents—and the academics who often repeat them—into the larger sociocultural and intellectual forces that have shaped Islam’s fastest growing revivalist movement.
