Islam: hellige skrifter

Code 19 was hidden in the 74th chapter of the Quran and discovered by the author's colleague, Dr. Rashad Khalifa, an Egyptian-American biochemist, in 1974. The code suggests a "Copernican revolution" in theology of religions. Instead of Krishna-centered, Jesus-centered, or Muhammad-centered religions, people must turn to the original center, to the God-centered model.

The Chapters of Mary and Ta Ha center on the key figures of Islam's two sister monotheisms, Mary, mother of Christ, and Moses. Ibn 'Ajiba's commentaries on these two surahs give reader access not only to the traditional Islamic view of these prophetic figures, but also on metaphors and symbols to be found in their stories that can of use to anyone following an inner path to God. The Chapter of Mary, in particular, gives readers access to the story of Christ through the perspective of the woman who was chosen to bear him. The Immense Ocean from which this is an excerpt, is a prime example of writing from the North African Sufic tradition. Al-Bahr al-Madid, from which this translation is an excerpt, is the only traditional Quranic commentary in existence which gives both exoteric exegesis and mystical "spiritual allusion" for each verse of the Sacred Book. Since the completion of its publication in 2002, the Arabic version of al-Bahr al-Madid, which existed only in manuscript form before a small excerpt was printed in the 1950s, has sold out three editions. This is a testimony both to its popularity and to a revival of interest in Sufic thought throughout the Muslim world.

Le Coran ( ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, al-Qur¿an, « la récitation ») est le texte sacré de l'islam. Il reprend verbatim la parole d'Allah. OEuvre de l'Antiquité tardive, le Coran reste le premier et le plus ancien livre connu en arabe jusqu'à ce jour. La tradition musulmane le présente comme le premier ouvrage en arabe, avec le caractère spécifique d'inimitabilité dans la beauté de sa structure et dans ses principes moraux et éthiques.Le Coran regroupe les paroles d'Allah, révélations (ayat) faites au dernier prophète et messager de Dieu Mahomet (¿¿¿¿, Müammad, « le loué ») à partir de 610-612 jusqu'à sa mort en 632 par l'archange Gabriel (¿¿¿¿¿, Jibril). Le Coran est parfois appelé sous d'autres dénominations comme al-kitab (« le Livre »), adh-dhikr (« le Rappel ») ou encore al-furqan (« le Discernement »).

In our contemporary world where race, religion, culture and other human characteristics meet, connect, fuse, overlap and clash, so many challenges regarding faith, belief and metaphysical issues present themselves. The Abrahamic traditions are the result of thousands of prophets and messengers coming to guide humankind which culminated with the Prophet Muhammad, whose gift of the Qur'an is of universal value. The Qur'ans miracle is that its verses repeatedly reveal the seamless connection between infinite, unseen, cosmic lights with finite, relative, and limited earthly consciousness. This selection of key verses are universally useful for all times and for all people for every moment in the human journey. This book presents Qur'anic Universal renderings that connects the absolute and the relative in a unified voice that transforms and transports the reader to the eternal reality that is both transcendent and immanent. It is an essential reference for the inner technology guiding towards transformation that echoes in the hearts of the sincere seeker.- Adnan al Adnani, author of Lights of Consciousness: A Sufi view of Science and Spirituality Shaykh Fadhlalla's wise commentary and rendering of the verses enable the reader, whether newcomer or more experienced, to clearly understand the Qur'anic map and guide to life. This little book opens a door allowing us to hear a wake-up call for all humanity, regardless of belief or philosophy of life.- Dr Neil Douglas-Klotz, author of The Sufi Book of Life and A Little Book of Sufi Stories

The Qur'an makes extensive use of older religious material, stories, and traditions that predate the origins of Islam, and there has long been a fierce debate about how this material found its way into the Qur'an. This unique book argues that this debate has largely been characterized by a failure to fully appreciate the Qur'an as a predominately oral product.Using innovative computerized linguistic analysis, this study demonstrates that the Qur'an displays many of the signs of oral composition that have been found in other traditional literature. When one then combines these computerized results with other clues to the Qur'an's origins (such as the demonstrably oral culture that both predated and preceded the Qur'an, as well as the ';folk memory' in the Islamic tradition that Muhammad was an oral performer) these multiple lines of evidence converge and point to the conclusion that large portions of the Qur'an need to be understood as being constructed live, in oral performance.Combining historical, linguistic, and statistical analysis, much of it made possible for the first time due to new computerized tools developed specifically for this book, Bannister argues that the implications of orality have long been overlooked in studies of the Qur'an. By relocating the Islamic scripture firmly back into an oral context, one gains both a fresh appreciation of the Qur'an on its own terms, as well as a fresh understanding of how Muhammad used early religious traditions, retelling old tales afresh for a new audience.

Now you can read and understand the complete Koran. A Simple Koran is not condensed, every single word is included in modern English, with foreign words defined.A powerful method of ordering, sorting and categorizing the Koran makes it easy to read. When Mohammed's life is woven back into the Koran, meaning is restored. The Simple Koran is a powerful epic story. Islam is a political system, a culture and a religion based upon the Trilogy of Koran, Sira (life of Mohammed) and Hadith (the Traditions). The Koran is part of the Islamic Trilogy series. The Trilogy integrates the three primary sources to give the entire Islamic political doctrine-the treatment of non-Muslims.The Trilogy is authoritative and fact-based. All statements can be confirmed by the use of reference numbers. The knowledge is integrated-all of the primary sources are used to give the complete picture of Islam's political doctrine.

According to Islam, the Koran is the perfect word from the only god-Allah. However, this book shows that the stories and ideas in the Koran could be found in the world around Mohammed. Indeed, one view of the Koran is that it is a picture of the religions in Arabia and Syria in the seventh century. Once you take out all of the material that came from the Jews, Christians, Sabaeans, Zoroastrians and Arabs, you have a very small Koran. Even the Islamic religious rituals were taken from the Arab customs of the day.The only original ideas found in the Koran are that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah and if you do not believe it jihad can be used to convince you. Everything else is derivative.

An Ocean Without Shore is a study of Ibn Arabi, known in Islam as al-Shaykh al-Akbar, the Greatest Spiritual Master. In the introduction, Chodkiewicz provides a good deal of documentation for the often heard claim that Ibn Arabi has been the most influential thinker in Islam over the past seven hundred years. He shows that this has been true, not only among the intellectual elite, but also among the common believers. He explains why a few Muslims have considered Ibn al-Arabi the greatest heretic of Islam, while for many others he is Islam's greatest spiritual teacher.In the main body of the book, Chodkiewicz demonstrates that Ibn Arabi's writings are firmly grounded in the Koran. In doing this he also shows that Ibn Arabi's Koranic roots run far deeper than has heretofore been imagined. He explains that principles of Ibn Arabi's Koranic hermeneutics with unprecedented clarity, and in bringing out the primary importance of the Shaykh's magnum opus, The Futuhat Makkiyya, he solves a good number of riddles about the text that have puzzled modern readers.Chodkiewicz's work shows how, for Ibn Arabi, the iniatory voyage is a voyage in the divine word itself.

The Qur'an and Its Interpreters introduces the Western reader to the Qur'an as Muslims have understood it.The record of the Qur'an in the community as a force shaping the life of Muslims can be most clearly discerned through the vast literature of interpretation known as tafsir. This multivolume work is based on a large number of tafsir sources, representing all the major religious schools and stages of Muslim history for the last one thousand years. It will cover the entire Qur'an.This first volume consists of an introduction to the science and sources of interpretation of the Qur'an and the first two surahs of the Qur'an. The treatment is comprehensive and thorough. While the work is based entirely on primary sources, this volume includes a substantial bibliography of works on the Qur'an in Western languages.The Qur'an is the word of God as it was revealed to the prophet Muhammad, interiorized by the community, then shaped into an earthly book whose original archetype is with God. Dr. Ayoub concerns himself not with the history of the Qur'an, but with the way it was collected and fixed into an official codex, the recension of which has voiced the community's prayers and devotions, set its legal norms and moral standards, and occupied its best minds for more than thirteen hundred years.

Using commentaries from the classical period through the medieval and modern periods to the present, this book presents the Qur'an as Muslims have understood it and interiorized it throughout its rich exegetical history. Sources have been carefully chosen to represent all of the major schools and trends in Islamic thought.This book has been written, not primarily for scholars, but for interested western readers, for students of Islam, and for non-Arabic-speaking Muslims. For almost fourteen centuries the Qur'an has been a source of inspiration and solace and, above all, a guide along the way of life toward eternity. It is presented as such here.This work is one of several volumes, each a reference to a particular part of the Qur'an. The entire collection will comprise an encyclopedia of Qur'an commentary.
