  • The Sunna

    Its Obligatory and Exemplary Aspects

    by Hamid Algar ...
    The authority and excellence of the Sunnah, the normative mode of conduct of the Prophet (pbh), is mandated in the Qur'an itself, even though the term itself does not occur there with the same meaning. Certain aspects of the Sunnah are obligatory for the Muslim to follow; these include those several instances where the Sunnah clarifies the mode of implementation of a Qur'anic injunction, as is the ...

  • Wahhabism

    A Critical Essay

    by Hamid Algar ...
    Wahhabism, a peculiar interpretation of Islamic doctrine and practice that first arose in mid-eighteenth century Arabia, is sometimes regarded as simply an extreme or uncompromising form of Sunni Islam. This is incorrect, for at the very outset the movement was stigmatized as aberrant by the leading Sunni scholars of the day, because it rejected many of the traditional beliefs and practices of ...

  • Sufism

    Principles and Practice

    by Hamid Algar ...
    There can be few topics in the religious and intellectual history of Islam that have aroused as much controversy and misunderstanding as Sufism. This is due partly to the multiform and elusive nature of Sufism itself and partly to the profusion of false claimants to Sufism, particularly in recent times. This lecture attempts to clarify the principal conceptual bases of Sufism and the way in which ... Read more

    An Exponent of Islam in Its Totality

  • Jesus in the Qur'an

    His Reality Expounded in the Qur'an

    by Hamid Algar ...
    A feature of the Quran that deserves careful attention is that while it unambiguously asserts the finality of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the divine abrogation by means of the revelation entrusted to him of all preceding books, it also devotes considerable attention to the prophets that cam before him. This is not by way of ecumenical goodwill to the followers of religious other than Islam for ... Read more

  • Surat Al-Fatiha

    Foundation of the Qur'an

    by Hamid Algar ...
    Although no distinction may be made among the parts of the Qur'an in terms of relative excellence, it is obvious that the opening surah has a special significance that goes beyond its placing at the beginning of the Book. This is indicated among other things by the numerous designations given to it, some by the Prophet (pbh) himself; by the fact the uniquely it was revealed twice; and by the fact ... Read more

    by Sayyid Qutb ...

  • Basic Principles of the Islamic Worldview

    by Sayyid Qutb ...
    Translated by Rami David ...
    In this book, one of his most widely read works, Sayyid Qutb addresses himself to the task of retrieving what he regards as the authentic mode of thought that is distinctive of Islam or even unique to it.
