Houseways in Southern Oman
This book explores how houses are created, maintained and conceptualized in southern Oman. Based on long-term research in the Dhofar region, it draws on anthropology, sociology, urban studies and architectural history. The chapters consider physical and functional aspects, including regulations governing land use, factors in siting houses, architectural styles and norms for interior and exterior decorating. The volume also reflects on cultural expectations regarding how and when rooms are used and issues such as safety, privacy, social connectedness and ease of movement. Houses and residential areas are situated within the fabric of towns, comparison is made with housing in other countries in the Arabian peninsula, and consideration is given to notions of the ‘Islamic city’ and the ‘Islamic house’.

Routledge Handbook of University-Community Partnerships in Planning Education
This handbook explores two guiding questions – how can university-community partnerships in planning education work, and how can they be transformative? University-community partnerships – often referred to as service-learning or community-engaged teaching and learning – are traditionally based on a collaborative relationship between an academic partner and a community-based partner, in which students from the academic partner work within the community on a project. Transformational approaches to university-community partnerships are approaches that develop and sustain mutually beneficial collaborations where knowledge is co-created and new ways of knowing and doing are discovered. Thi...

Envarül'l Aşıkin - Aşıkların Nurları
Dünyevî ve uhrevî kurtuluşumuzun ana maddeleri şunlardır: 1 - Tashih-i İ'tikad, yâni inançları düzeltmek. Bu da Ehl-i sünnet mezhebine bağlı olmakla olur. 2 - Namazın ikâmesi 5 vakit namaz (erkeklerce) dâima cemaatle kılınacaktır. 3 - İbadeti yaratılışının hikmet ve sebebi bilmek, en büyük vazifemiz yaratıcımız olan Hak Teâlâ'ya ibadet ve kulluktur. 4 - İhlâs, yâni katışıksızlık. Allah Teâlâ'ya karşı daimâ ihlâslı olacağız. Sırf O'nun yüce rızâsı için ibâdet edecek, hayırlarda bulunacağız. 5 - İslâm dâvasına Hizmet edeceğiz. Onu asla kendi şahsi veya siyasal menfaat veya nüfuzumuz uğrunda İstihdam ve İstismar etmiyeceğiz ve ettirmeyeceğiz. 6 - Nefsimizi Temizlemek, Ahlâkımızı Güzelleştirmek. Bu da din büyüklerimizin irşad ve nasihatlerini can kulağıyla dinleyip tatbik etmekle olur. Yukarıda kısaca temas ettiğim mevzûlarda derinleşmek isteyenler, büyük Ehl-i sünnet âlimlerinin te'lif ve tasnif ettikleri -bu kitap gibi- ahlak, öğüt, irşad ve mev'ize kitaplarına mürâcat etmelidirler.
