The comments and conversations derived from ancient texts, that are quoted in this work constitute the basis of our knowledge of Islam during the lifetime of its founder.Volume 3 (of this 4 volume series) gives details of the numerous battles and campaigns waged between 3 (AH) and 8 (AH) to defend and spread the religion of Islam.Ibn Kathir was born in approximately 1313 in the Boesra district of eastern Damascus, and studied with many great scholars working in the city during his time. He died in 1374.Trevor Le Gassick is professor of Arabic Literature at the University of Michigan.

Loved as much for his fluid fighting style as his colourful personality and brazen pre-match hype, Muhammad Ali is widely considered to be the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. Charismatic, outspoken and unafraid to fight for his beliefs, Ali has deftly jabbed, danced and trash-talked his way into the annals of sporting history.Ali's controversial refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War meant that his license to fight was withdrawn for three years. And yet Ali achieved all that he did while being denied the right to box at his peak. From Olympic gold medallist to cultural icon and fearless freedom fighter, Steve Dawson takes a candid, honest look at the man who, amidst racial and religious turbulence in 1960s white America, soared to his destiny as The Greatest".

In der hier vorliegenden Habilitationsschrift befasst sich die Autorin mit den Konzepten Sexualitat und Geschlecht im Werk des schiitischen Gelehrten Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah. Unter Berucksichtigung einer Vielzahl von Textquellen in Originalsprache uber die gesamte Schaffensphase des Gelehrten hinweg rekonstruierte die Autorin zum einen die Themenfelder, in denen Sexualitat und Geschlecht eine tragende Rolle spielen (bspw. Masturbation, Gewalt in der Ehe, Frauen im Richteramt). Zum anderen zeichnet sie so Veranderungen in den religiosen Empfehlungen und Ansichten des Gelehrten nach. Insgesamt fordert sie - vor allem fur westliche LeserInnen - uberraschende und teils uberraschend progressive Ansichten und Urteile des Grossayatollahs zu Tage - die sich wiederum mit konservativen konstrastieren. Dabei werden die Kategorien "progressiv" und "konservativ" als kulturspezifisch entlarvt.
Rose Paradise: The Life of Prophet Muhammad (saw) is a comprehensive and devotional narrative that presents the events, virtues, and spiritual atmosphere of the Prophet's (saw) blessed life through sixty-three carefully crafted chapters. The book follows a chronological arc-from the anticipation of his arrival, to his birth and upbringing, to the revelation, migration, establishment of the Muslim community, major trials, victories, and his final teachings. Each chapter functions as a standalone reflection while contributing to the larger tapestry of the Sīrah. The text captures the Prophet's exalted character, describing his mercy, generosity, justice, courage, humility, and gentleness in ways that speak to contemporary readers. Scenes such as the Year of Sorrow, the Consolation of Ṭā'if, the Hijrah, the Conquest of Mecca, and the Farewell Sermon are written with sensitivity and reverence, inviting thoughtful contemplation. The accessible tone makes the book suitable for a wide audience-youth, adults, reading groups, introductory Islamic studies courses, and community education programs. While rich in spiritual insights, it maintains clarity and readability, avoiding technical terminology and focusing on moral lessons: patience in adversity, gratitude, trust in God, compassion toward the weak, and unity among believers.

In Poet of Jordan, William Tamplin presents two decades’ worth of the political poetry of Muhammad Fanatil al-Hajaya, a Bedouin poet from Jordan and a public figure whose voice channels a popular strain of popular Arab political thought. Tamplin’s footnoted translations are supplemented with a biography, interviews, and pictures in order to contextualize the man behind the poetry. The aesthetics and politics of vernacular Arabic poetry have long gone undervalued. By offering a close study of the life and work of Hajaya, Tamplin demonstrates the impact that one poet’s voice can have on the people and leaders of the contemporary Middle East.
