Remembering God
Reflections on Islam
GAI EATON
This work is a profound analysis of the most urgent concerns and questions facing us at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Touching on religion and the application of religion to society, Gai Eaton illustrates the subtle harmony of a religious perspective and its ability to transform both the individual and society.


 

Islam and the Destiny of Man
Gai Eaton
A best-selling introduction to contemporary Islam. The author is concerned not simply with Islam in isolation, but with the very nature of religious faith, its spiritual and intellectual foundations and the light it casts upon the mysteries and paradoxes of the human condition.


 

King of the Castle
Choice and Responsibility in the Modern World
Gai Eaton
This book examines closely many of the unquestioned assumptions by which we live our lives, comparing them with the beliefs that have shaped and guided human life in the past. Concentrating on the traditional view of man as ‘God’s Viceroy on Earth’, the author discusses human responsibility and choice in the modern world.


 

The Eternal Message of Muhammad
ABD AL-RAHMAN AZZAM
This classic work offers a simple yet profound interpretation of Islam. The author examines the social and economic ramifications of the Muslim state, one based on humane ideals of law and justice expressed in the Qur’an, and one which can provide the foundation for a just society.


 

Unveiling Islam
ROGER DU PASQUIER
This book provides a thorough introduction to Muslim belief, history, art and literature. It includes topics such as ‘fundamentalism’ and the status of women in Islam.


 

Fez: City of Islam
TITUS BURCKHARDT
The text and illustrations of this unique book come together to provide an insight into how the life of a people can be transformed at every level by a religious tradition. Though focusing on the city of Fez, this work gives a profound insight into the sacred roots that nourish Islamic culture and civilisation.


 

The Other in the Light of the One
Reza Shah-Kazemi
The Other in the Light of the One illustrates how, throughout the centuries, Sufism has been a bastion against two tendencies: worldliness and literalism. This book relates some of the most profound interpretations of the Qur’an to philosophical and spiritual questions concerning interfaith dialogue, with the purpose not to just reproduce the ideas of the Sufis, but to build upon principles, to take advantage of insights, and to apply them creatively to contemporary conditions. Shah-Kazemi illustrates how a universalist perspective based on Sufi hermeneutics provides a third way between secular pluralism and religious exclusivism.
