Free Download Timothy James Carey, "Muslim and Catholic Responses to HIV and AIDS in Kenya "
English | ISBN: 1498578284 | 2018 | 228 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In the capital city of Nairobi, Kenya, African Catholic and Sunni Muslim leaders addressing HIV and AIDS are faced with a unique challenge. On the one hand, they are called to attend to the spiritual wellbeing of the infected individual; on the other hand, they are increasingly charged with serving as the stewards of the physical bodies of those negatively affected by such a physiologically debilitating and social stigmatized disease through certain identifiable interreligious traditions common to both faiths.

Free Download Abd al-Halim Abu Shuqqah, "Muslim Women’s Attire and Adornment: Women’s Emancipation during the Prophet’s Lifetime"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1847741819 | PDF | pages: 198 | 4.5 mb
This 8-volume series is the author’s abridged version of his longer work with the same title, spanning a 25-year study of the main sources of Islamic teachings: the Qur’an and the authentic sunnah. The author’s study comprised 14 great anthologies of hadiths, but in his book he only rarely includes hadiths from any anthology other than the two most authentic ones of al-Bukhari and Muslim. This series will illustrate the status of the Muslim woman that is greatly different from what is assumed in most Muslim societies today. The Prophet established complete equality between men and women, with both having their respective special functions. This volume draws the features of the Muslim Woman in everyday social life in accordance to the Qur’an and Sunnah drawing upon specific examples of incidents as well as different prominent female figures in Islam during the Prophet’s lifetime. It shows that much of what we imagine to be Islamic rules are no more than social or cultural tradition.

Free Download Taraneh Wilkinson, "Dialectical Encounters: Contemporary Turkish Muslim Thought in Dialogue"
English | ISBN: 147444153X | 2019 | 256 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Discussions of Islam in Turkey are still heavily dominated by political considerations and the dualistic paradigms of modern v. traditional, secular v. religious. Yet there exists a body of Muslim institutions in the country – Turkish theology faculties – whose work overcomes ideological divisions. By engaging with Turkish theology in its theological rather than political concerns, this book sheds light on complex Muslim voices in the context of a largely Western and Christian modernity.

Free Download Jørgen S. Nielsen, "Muslim Political Participation in Europe"
English | ISBN: 0748695877 | 2014 | 360 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Muslims are making themselves noticed in the political process of Europe. But what is happening behind the sensational headlines? These 16 essays look at the processes and realities in 12 European areas: Belgium, Catalonia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK. They analyse and compare issues from voting patterns in local and national assemblies to the tensions between ethnic, political and religious identities. These developments drive internal Muslim debates including whether Muslims should take part in the democratic process at all, and rivalries over who should represent Muslims. They also inspire sharp discussion in Europe: how should European states view the increasingly active role of Muslims in the public space? Does it signal integration or separation?

Free Download David S. Powers, "Islamic Ecumene: Comparing Muslim Societies"
English | ISBN: 1501772384 | 2023 | 330 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The essays in Islamic Ecumene address the ways in which Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia and from sub-Saharan Africa to the steppes of Uzbekistan are members of a broad cultural unit. Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways. The result is a book that showcases ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals.
