Publisher: ABC International Group, Inc.




One non-Muslim writer once remarked how when talking to Muslims about Islam compared to the West, Muslims take the ideal of Islam and compare it to the reality of the West. It is written for the Western reader interested in Islam, and also for the Western-educated Muslim. What is the central ideal in Islam which determines the structure of the entire system? We know that sin, pain and sorrow are constantly mentioned in the Quran. The Shari'ah – Divine Law, Social and Human Norm. Sufi, philosophy, Islam, comparative cultures all covered by a master. Product DescriptionThis is the first of very few English books to treat Islam from its own point of view, from within the tradition. €�We represent a moderate, centrist Muslim viewpoint. As we will come to see, Muslim jurists operated in largely theoretical spaces, and throughout history have been forced to negotiate their ideals, with realities on the ground. Ideals.and.Realities.of.Islam.pdf. Be careful of mixing up the ideal with the reality. Download Ideals and Realities of Islam. Ideals and Realities of Islam Seyyed Hossein Nasr ebook.
