Orientalism and Modernists Studies

The term 'orientalist' is used for those non-Muslim people who studied Islam from an external perspective with a variety of motives. Most of them had missionary aims and their prime purpose was to identify such matters in Islamic texts that could be used for misguiding the Muslims. Scholars of Islam have long settled these queries. However, those with lesser knowledge remain a vulnerable target for the deceivers who presented misinformation or half-information. This book shelf presents some of the important works in this regard.

Matters of Heart - Spirituality and Sufism

This bookshelf will not only be helpful for those who wish to understand the Islamic sufism, but also explain the common misconceptions and mistakes associated with the concepts of mysticism and tasawuf.

Library Sciences

​Libraries were the learning houses that led to Islamic golde age. Books from languages all around the world were translated in Arabic and made available in libraries that Muslims of those times were really fond of. Everywhere they went, they took their books and wisdom with them. This enabled them to access knowledge that no other nation had it in one place. Love for books and provision of reading opportunities to general public also became the key success factor for the Western nations centuries later. It is accordingly important for us to foster this springboard for success - libraries.

This bookshelf covers basic library and librarianship skills that would be important for those who are organizing or managing libraries in formal and informal settings.

Journalism

With the continued negative portrayal of Islam in the mainstream media and propaganda machines operating in full swing, if Muslims remain outside this industry, the situation in the coming centuries can become much worse than what it is. The peaceful and loving nature of Islam has been over-shadowed in the media due to the over-emphasis on the actions of some ignorant people who happen to call them Muslims but fail to adhere to even the basics of the religion. Learned Muslims accordingly need to come forward and join this industry to show the true picture of Islam to those for whom, unfortunately, the only source of knowledge about Islam is media.

Handing Differences of Opinions

Whether it is a worldly matter or the religious one, it is commonly seen that people get stuck on their own opinions or of those who they see with high esteem. This often closes their mind towards any opposing or different opinions that may exist. In this bookshelf, we have tried to collect the books on the topic of effective handling of differences of opinions and conflicts.

It should be kept in mind that the difference of opinions among the noble scholars and Imams is because of the difference in their 'usul' or the methods of interpretation. Accordingly, we can say that there are multiple correct opinions. This is something which we clearly see from the Sunnah of our beloved Messenger, PBUH, as well when he accepted the differences of opinion among Sahabah on certain matters and declared that multiple opinions were correct. Explore this interesting bookshelf to know more.
