Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad compares the evolution of several cities in the Near East from the time of Alexander the Great until the beginning of the Islamic 'Abbasid Dynasty. This volume examines both archaeological remains and literary sources to explain the diversity of imperial, cultural, and religious influences on urban life. It offers several case studies chosen from different regions of the Roman Near East, demonstrating that Greco-Roman and Islamic culture spread unevenly through these various cities, and that it is impossible to make broad generalizations. It argues instead that there were different patterns of urbanism that demonstrate a continued vitality of civic life up to the 'Abbasid revolution.Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad will be of particular interest to students of this period in the Ancient Near East, as well as those studying ancient cities and everyday life.

The Life of Hazrat Aminah bint Wahb The Mother of Prophet Muhammad SAW Last Messenger of Allah SWT (God) English Edition Hardcover Version Based from The Holy Quran and Al-Hadith. Allah SWT (God) Almighty created the father of mankind, Prophet Adam (Pbuh). When Adam raised his head, he saw that some name was written with an enormous Nur (heavenly light) at the Great Throne: "Ahmad." He asked wondering: "O my Lord, what is that light?" God Almighty replied: "It is the light of a prophet who is going to come from your offspring. His name is Ahmad up in the heaven and Muhammad on earth. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have created you as well " The enormous truth that we faithfully adhere was also proclaimed by the owner of the light after billions of years. One day, one of the Companions, Abdullah bin Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Oh Allah's Messenger, will you explain what Allah created before everything else"? He replied: "Before everything, He created your Messenger's noor (light) from His own light. The light would travel with Allah's power and as it wished. At that time, there was no lawh mahfuz (preserved tablet), no pen, no Heaven, no Hell, no angel, no sky, no land, no sun, no moon, no person, and no jinn. Firstly, the Light that enlightened the heavens with all its grandeur secondly shone in the forehead of Adam (PBUH). Then, from one prophet to another, It came to Abraham (PBUH) and through him to his son Ismael (PBUH).

The underlying question in this work is related to the paradigmatic role of Prophet Muhammad and how this paradigm has been understood by both Jaspers and Sadr and why they have come to two different conclusions on this very pivotal issue and furthermore how these differences affected the dialogue among civilizations or more importantly the dialogue among elite intellectuals in Iran (and those intellectuals who work within the paradigm of Sacred Intellectual Tradition in general) and Germany (and those intellectuals who work within the paradigm of the Secular Tradition in general). It is of profound interest to go beyond the journalistic approaches to the questions of 'difference', 'otherness', 'traditions', 'dialogue', 'possibilities of dialogue', and all that which make up the very backbone of contemporary incomprehensibilities across various civilizations, cultures, societies, nations, ethnicities and systems and instead construct common grounds and grounds of commonalities which could touch the hearts of men and women in a meaningful fashion and fashions which are of meaningful depths, i.e. inspired by Revelation (in religious sense), Intellection (in metaphysical sense), and Beautiful (in aesthetical sense). We cannot leave these issues in the hands of politicians or spin doctors who design the relations between human beings based on geostrategical interests of multinational companies rather than interaction between souls which could elevate the quality of human condition by overcoming the boundaries of ignorance or surpassing the predicament of ignoring the suffering of the others based on any illusory justifications.
