Dive into the profound depths of Islamic history and revelation with The Authentic Stories of the Prophets, a monumental work by the esteemed scholar Al-Imam Al-Hafiz Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him). This timeless masterpiece intricately weaves together the narratives of the Prophets as mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, connecting scattered verses into a cohesive and enlightening series of stories. Ibn Katheer's scholarly excellence shines as he supplements these accounts with narrations from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and selectively integrates Isra'iliyyat traditions, ensuring they align with Sharia and common sense. The book not only recounts the lives of the Prop...

İnanç tartışmaları artık hayatımızın merkezince yer alıyor. Pek çok kişi bilim, akıl ve mantık yoluyla insanı ateizme götürecek yeterli delile ulaşabileceğine inanıyor. Özellikle gençler arasında ateizm, büyük bir hızla yayılıyor. Üstelik artık birçok kişi, din ve bilimin taban tabana zıt olduğunu, hatta inançta akla yer olmadığını düşünüyor. Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, ilk kez Türkçeye çevrilen kitabında tam da bu tartışmaların üzerinden gidiyor. Ateizmin iddialarını reddeden Tzortzis; Hakikatin İzinde olan insanlar için akıl, mantık ve bilim çerçevesinde bir pusula sunuyor. Ateizmi ve onun farklı görünümleri diyebileceğimiz “inanma biçimlerini” inceleyen Tzortzis, Kur’an’da sunulan varlık delillerini anlatmanın ötesine geçerek inançla ilgili soyut konuları da işliyor. Birçok karmaşık meseleyi soğukkanlılıkla ele alarak anlaşılabilir bir basitlikte sunuyor. Hakikatin İzinde, inançlı olsun olmasın; gerek kendi içerisinde gerek toplum içinde ateizmle yüzleşmiş kişiler için biçilmiş bir kaftan. Hem ateistlerin, hem inançlıların okuması gereken bir başucu kitabı.
This original and multidimensional book brings a refreshing new approach to the study of the arts of the Middle East. By dealing in one volume with dance, music, painting, and cinema, as experienced and practiced not only within the Middle East but also abroad, Images of Enchantment breaks down the artificial distinctions--of form, geography, 'high' and 'low' art, performer and artist--that are so often used to delineate the subjects and processes of Middle Eastern artistic culture. The eighteen essays in this book cover themes as diverse as Bedouin dance, the music of Arab Americans, cinema in Egypt and Iran, Hollywood representations of the Middle East, and contemporary Sudanese painting. ...

Confronting the Occupation is a study of work, education, political-national resistance, family, and community relations in a Palestinian refugee camp under conditions of Israeli military occupation. It is based on extended field research carried out by an Israeli sociologist-anthropologist in Dheisheh camp, south of Bethlehem, between 1992 and 1996. Emphasis is placed on how men and women, families, and the local refugee community confront the occupation regime as they seek livelihoods, invest in the education of younger generations, and mount a political and often militant struggle. In the process, men lose their jobs in the Israeli labor market, women, old and young, enter the workforce, university graduates are compelled to migrate to the Gulf, and political cadres challenge harsh prison circumstances by establishing their own comprehensive counterorder. While directed against the occupation, patterns of coping and resistance adopted by Dheishehians introduced tensions and conflicts into family life, furthering the transformation of gender and generational relationships.
