Satan has sworn enmity to humans, especially good Muslim children. He wants them to fail and become distant from Allah. To achieve this, he has devised many methods to deceive people. The more we learn about these methods and tricks, the less we will fall into his traps. This book, "Satan's Diary" was written with children ages 6 and above in mind with beautiful illustrations to convey the text. We have used Quranic verses as the main source of inspiration for this book
Yusuf is like any other 10-year-old boy living an ordinary life with his parents. He likes nothing more than spending time with his best friend Jack. Eight years after Yusuf's one and only trip to see his grandfather, the Ayouch family excitedly prepares to welcome Grandpa to England, at last! But even Jack has to agree that the gift that Grandpa brings Yusuf from Morocco is disappointingly ordinary. Or is it? Little do the boys know that together they are about to discover a world so much bigger than either of them ever imagined and learn how, with a curious mind, things are not always what they seem. But will it finally teach them to appreciate the most valuable gift of them all?
This book offers an innovative perspective on Muslim family life in British society. Drawing on recent debates, the book considers how theories of family have overlooked Muslim families and offers a comprehensive framework to address this oversight. Informed by decolonizing approaches, the book sheds light on the impact of narrow and stigmatizing perspectives that shape our understanding of Muslim families. The author pays close attention to the increasing diversity of family forms and to the role of gender and generation, whilst also considering race, ethnicity and class. In doing so, she demonstrates how a better understanding of Muslim family life can inform policies to address inequalities, and advocates for placing Muslim families at the heart of policy solutions.

The influence of the ulema, the official Sunni Muslim religious scholars of the Ottoman Empire, is commonly understood to have waned in the empire's last century. Drawing upon Ottoman state archives and the institutional archives of the ulema, this study challenges this narrative, showing that the ulema underwent a process of professionalisation as part of the wider Tanzimat reforms and thereby continued to play an important role in Ottoman society. First outlining transformations in the office of the Sheikh ul-islam, the leading Ottoman Sunni Muslim cleric, the book goes on to use the archives to present a detailed portrait of the lives of individual ulema, charting their education and professional and social lives. It also includes a glossary of Turkish-Arabic vocabulary for increased clarity. Contrary to beliefs about their decline, the book shows they played a central role in the empire's efforts to centralise the state by acting as intermediaries between the government and social groups, particularly on the empire's peripheries.
Told in their separate voices, six Muslim teens are falsely accused of an alleged attack on a Los Angeles beach and must trust or turn their backs on each other to prove their innocence.
Is God just? To post-Christian America, the answer is unapologetically "no." Modem man believes he has evolved to the point to where God is no longer needed. Gone are the harsh days, modem man says, of eternal condemnation for sin. And gone are the harsh days, he adds, of society being under harsh laws from a harsh God. As it turns out (or so modem man thinks), it was not man who was unjust all along-it was God! Now, sadly autonomous, modem man has cast off the restraint of God's justice for his own version of justice.It is this Enlightenment philosophy as applied to the civil realm that inspires this rebuttal. Today, Americans everywhere take for granted that the civil code God revealed in the Older Testament is "harsh," "barbaric," "tyrannical," etc. We hear such irreverent sloganizing as, "We can't impose our views on others like in the Old Testament!"; "We can't go back to stoning people!"; "Those laws reflected a primitive culture!"; etc., etc.These attacks on God's honor have persisted too long, and must be answered.

Scholars have long questioned the traditional accounts of the origins of Islam. Most of what we know comes from Islamic manuscripts written some 200-300 years after Islam began. Did those later writers clearly understand their history, or were they presenting the popular views of their time?Canadian historian Dan Gibson has pieced together a different Islamic history using the archaeological record rather than manuscript evidence alone. He has compiled a database of the remains of over 200 early mosques and places of prayer in Islam, revealing a surprising and sometimes shocking account of the genesis of Islam and its spread. Could this really be true?This book examines Gibson's research data as well as a statistical analysis by Dr. Walter Schumm and Zvi Goldstein. Gibson, along with Chad Doell, examine how this new data changes and yet fits the manuscript accounts. The scholarly objections of Dr. David King are also examined and answered.Gibson's initial research was the subject of a 90 minute 2016 documentary film: The Sacred City. Now eight years later Gibson's research is complete and published here in print.
A reinterpretation of the history of Sokoto that provides a new assessment of its leaders and their visions for the Muslim state.
Ex-best friends, Tiwa and Said, must work together to save their Islamic Center from demolition, in this romantic story of rekindling and rebuilding by award-winning authors Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé & Adiba Jaigirdar! Let's get one thing straight: this is a love story.These days, Said Hossain spends most of his time away at boarding school. But when his favorite hometown librarian Ms. Barnes dies, he must return home to New Crosshaven for her funeral and for the summer. Too bad being home makes it a lot harder to avoid facing his ex-best friend, Tiwa Olatunji, or facing the daunting task of telling his Bangladeshi parents that he would rather be an artist than a doctor.Tiwa doesn't understand what made Said start ignoring her, but it's probably that fancy boarding school of his. Though he's unexpectedly staying through the summer, she's determined to take a page from him and pretend he doesn't exist. Besides, she has more than enough going on, between grieving her broken family and helping her mother throw the upcoming Eid celebration at the Islamic Center-a place that means so much to Tiwa.But when the Islamic Center accidentally catches fire, it turns out the mayor plans to demolish the center entirely. Things are still tense between the ex-friends but Tiwa needs Said's help if there's any hope of changing the mayor's mind, and Said needs a project to submit to art school (unbeknownst to anyone). Will all their efforts be enough to save the Islamic Center, save Eid, and maybe save their relationship?

Since the advent of Islam, Qur'anic exegesis has developed through various phases.Variant exegetical schools and works have emerged over time as a result of this, and others are predicated to appear in the future.1 Consequently, scholars have developed new types and methodologies in their approach to exegeses. A turning point saw a move away from traditional exegesis (that is to say, naql¿ or riw¿yah) to a more rational approach ('aql¿ or dir¿yah) throughout Muslim history. New movements such as the Sh¿'a, Khaw¿rij, Murji'ah, Qadariyyah and ¿¿f¿s emerged, as well as the four schools of jurisprudence (i.e. ¿anaf¿, M¿lik¿, Sh¿fi'¿, ¿anbal¿), and new converts to Islam. The emergence of these groups and their respective approaches impacted the development of exegesis, leading to changes in political, ideological, and theological viewpoints.
In the vivid canvas of humanity, there exists a tale that douses convention in radiant hues of authenticity. "The Journey of Nabeel" chronicles the exhilarating voyage of a resilient soul from Pakistan's heartland to the bustling metropolis of the United Kingdom. This book is a symphony of identity, resilience, and acceptance, charting Nabeel's passage from acknowledging their homosexuality to embracing their non-binary identity. As Nabeel fights battles against prejudice, xenophobia, and the climate crisis, they emerge as a beacon of hope, strength, and empowerment. This tale isn't just Nabeel's; it's the narrative of every soul yearning for acceptance and equality in a heteronormative world.
Khadija is inspired by her visit to the science fair. But how come none of the scientists are wearing a hijab, she wonders? Khadija recreates an experiment at home with mixed (and messy!) results. Surrounded by family as they celebrate Eid, Khadija tries again, with great success. She declares, "When I grow up, I'm going to be a scientist!"
"This authoritative "go-to" publication aims to educate women on how to express their rights within Islam. Perfect for enabling activists to integrate an egalitarian Islamic belief system into their movements. The most effective means of improving Muslim women's lives is connecting them to their deeply held beliefs that affirm human dignity and gender equality at the core of the Islamic faith. But Muslim women lack this information that enlightens and vouches for their sacred rights, and they have no accessible tools that encourage faith-based activism consistent with the Islamic faith. To protect them from being misrepresented by or outside their communities, there is a need to provide pre-packaged, easy-to-understand literacy tools to women so they can lead lives of choice, dignity, and opportunity. 30 Rights of Muslim Women aims to fill this gap"--

The world of Islam divides into two main sects with different theological approaches to God that vary at key points in doctrine. The American experience in Iraq since 2003 has spotlighted these key differences, yet few understand their origins. Mostworks, even those by specialists, construe the division as reaching back to the early formative years of Islam-which it does in some respects-but many do not realize how long it took for the important differences between what became known as Sunni and Shi'i Islam to become solid and fixed as they now seem to be. In other words, in the first few centuries of Islamic history,the term Shi'ism can only be applied retrospectively to a diversity of political sects and religious movements, many of which had little in common.1 Here, a closer analysis of Islamic history from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (570 to 632 C.E.) to the Abbasid Revolution (750 C.E.) will show that there was a diversity of Shi'ite movements throughout early Islamic history and no clear line that divided Sunna and Shi'a in early Islam
