The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face—we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him, are severe against the disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (fore heads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurah (Torah).

Though it is the fastest growing religion in the world, Islam remains shrouded by ignorance and fear. What is the essence of this ancient faith? Is it a religion of peace or war? How does Allah differ from the God of Jews and Christians? Can an Islamic state be founded on democratic values such as pluralism and human rights? A writer and scholar of comparative religions, Reza Aslan has earned international acclaim for the passion and clarity he has brought to these questions.

Muhammad's was a life of almost unparalleled historical importance, yet for all the iconic power of his name, the intensely dramatic story of the prophet of Islam is not well known. In The First Muslim, Lesley Hazleton brings him vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a man in full, in all his complexity and vitality. Hazleton's account follows the arc of Muhammad's rise from powerlessness to power, from anonymity to renown.

As an atheist
- By Benjamin on 03-27-19
By: Ben Shapiro
Publisher's summary
From the ambassador of the UAE to Russia comes a bold and intimate exploration of what it means to be a Muslim in the 21st century.
In a series of personal letters to his sons, Omar Saif Ghobash offers a short and highly listenable manifesto that tackles our current global crisis with the training of an experienced diplomat and the personal responsibility of a father. Today's young Muslims will be tomorrow's leaders, and yet too many are vulnerable to extremist propaganda that seems omnipresent in our technological age. The burning question, Ghobash argues, is how moderate Muslims can unite to find a voice that is true to Islam while actively and productively engaging in the modern world. What does it mean to be a good Muslim? What is the concept of a good life? And is it acceptable to stand up and openly condemn those who take the Islamic faith and twist it to suit their own misguided political agendas?
In taking a hard look at these seemingly simple questions, Ghobash encourages his sons to face issues others insist are not relevant or not applicable or that may even be Islamophobic. These letters serve as a clear-eyed inspiration for the next generation of Muslims to understand how to be faithful to their religion and still navigate through the complexities of today's world. They also reveal an intimate glimpse into a world many are unfamiliar with and offer to provide an understanding of the everyday struggles Muslims face around the globe.

For conservative Wisconsin native and former U.S. Navy lieutenant commander Dr. M.

By early 1943, it had become increasingly clear the Allies would win the Second World War. Christian intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic thought the soon-to-be-victorious nations were not culturally or morally prepared for their success. These Christian intellectuals - Jacques Maritain, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and Simone Weil, among others - sought both to articulate a sober and reflective critique of their own culture and to outline a plan for the moral and spiritual regeneration of their countries in the post-war world.

Ariel Burger first met Elie Wiesel at age 15. They studied together and taught together. Witness chronicles the intimate conversations between these two men over decades as Burger sought counsel on matters of intellect, spirituality, and faith while navigating his own personal journey from boyhood to manhood, from student and assistant to rabbi and, in time, teacher. In this profoundly hopeful, thought-provoking, and inspiring audiobook, Burger takes us into Elie Wiesel's classroom, where the art of listening and storytelling conspire to keep memory alive.

Story
If You Can Keep It is at once a thrilling review of America's uniqueness, and a sobering reminder that America's greatness cannot continue unless we truly understand what our founding fathers meant for us to be. The book includes a stirring call-to-action for every American to understand the ideals behind the "noble experiment in ordered liberty" that is America. It also paints a vivid picture of the tremendous fragility of that experiment and explains why that fragility has been dangerously forgotten.

Story
In this powerful and timely book, one of the most admired and authoritative religious leaders of our time tackles the phenomenon of religious extremism and violence committed in the name of God. If religion is perceived as being part of the problem, Rabbi Sacks argues, then it must also form part of the solution. When religion becomes a zero-sum conceit and individuals are motivated by what Rabbi Sacks calls "altruistic evil", violence between peoples of different beliefs appears to be the only natural outcome.

Everyone, Muslim or not, needs to read this.
This book highlights some of the current moments of disarray and doubt that many Muslims throughout the world are suffering from, and the author sheds light on many different issues and even talks about how one can possibly overcome some of these issues. It is a very impactful, wise, and beautifully written piece of work that dissipates some of the more horrible points of view they Islam has acquired, especially from the West. I hope everyone gets a chance to read this and broaden their viewpoints about Islam.

7th century vs. 21st century muslims
? do muslims want to live in the 7th century or the 21st century
? are there eloquent modern muslim voices that speak to this issue
? is it helpful to put this discussion in the form of loving fatherly advice
omar saif gobash has a russian mother and an arab father
he is widely and well educated and works as an UAE ambassador
but what he wants most is to do is give his beloved sons good advice
the book takes the form of affectionate, paternal instruction and caution
even those with no affection for the arab world, can respect his trying to be a father
i found the book an enlightening and encouraging guide to today's arab world

You don't have to be Muslim
I found so much wisdom that is universal listening to this. Omar Saif Ghobash shares his personal history and that of his culture in a tone that inspires thoughtfulness.

Thank you Bu Saif
What did you love best about Letters to a Young Muslim?
It is a book we should have been reading long time ago, it shows the truth about Muslims and Islam and it is the answer to all those who degrade us Muslims because of our believes.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Letters to a Young Muslim?
When he went to religion class in UK and had to enter a Christian class because of the Muslim scholar who had it all wrong.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Every moment moved me as I can see the resemblance in our family. As a father myself, I would want my son reading this book and I would wish for myself to one day reach the levels like Bu Saif and make a difference myself.

A "must read" for Muslims and non-Muslims alike
In a world gone crazy seeking power, wealth and control through violence, greed and egotism, Omar Saif Gobash writes these intelligent, thoughtful reflections to his son, Saif, and to the next generation of Muslims who are the hope for a new way of educated wisdom, respect of others and peaceful coexistence. Those of all faiths who oppose violence, hatred extremism to resolve problems must read this book.

Important book for all
This book is an important read for anyone; not just Muslims. It contains valuable life lessons, as well as more understanding of how a young person could make right or wrong decisions. I listened on audible since I drive long distances and now I plan to buy the book so I can go back and refer to passages that were important to me.

A Portrait of True Islam for All Muslims
I read and met hundreds of scholars seeking answers to better understand my religion, but this book answered all my questions.
I listened to the book several times and sent it as a valuable Gift to my dearest friends and relatives. I started teaching it to my son.
For the first time in my life I find the perfect author who deeply understands the the Western Civilization and Islamic Religion with its schools of thoghts, sects, philosophers, and teachings. He managed to enlighten young Muslims and created a firewall of positive ideas against narrow minded extremists who don't love humanity

Wow!
Wow. I must admit I do not believe I have ever read a book written by a Muslim, at least not one about Islam. I am a Christian, and haven't ever listened deeply about issues pertaining to another religion. I have received my knowledge from the surface level of social media posts and newspaper headlines highlighting death and destruction. Omar reads the letters himself, which adds to the intimacy and heartfelt nature of his message. He urges everything from brave questioning to logical thought to fierce compassion and understanding. He is a brilliant man, in both head knowledge and heart knowledge, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone of any faith. This is my surprising book find of the last year. My only regret is this is his only published book and I want to hear more.
