For it is at the highest summit and represents the farthest of goals, such that minds are bewildered by it and the sight of intellects falls far short of its principles, not to mention its farthest reaches. How could human powers follow the way of investigation and scrutiny regarding the divine attributes?

Drawing upon years of unparalleled experience in diplomacy and government, Azzam examines the social and economic ramifications of the Muslim state, one based on humane ideals of law and justice expressed in the Qur’an, and one which can provide the foundation for a just society. Abd al-Rahman Azzam (1893-1976) is generally considered as the father of the Arab League. He served as the League’s first Secretary-General between 1945-52 as well as distinguishing himself in a long career as an ambassador and parliamentarian. As Vincent Sheean points out in his introduction, ‘In Damascus as well as in Djakarta, Istanbul and Baghdad, this man is known for valour of spirit and elevation of mind...He combines in the best Islamic mode, the aspects of thought and action, like the Muslim warriors of another time who are typified for us Westerners by the figure of Saladin.’ Malcolm X’s reading of \u003cem\u003eThe Eternal Message of Muhammad\u003c\/em\u003eand his meeting with Azzam Pasha are vividly recounted in his Autobiography. It is clear that these events marked the point in his life at which Malcolm X turned towards orthodox traditional Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘A very penetrating and stimulating book.’\u003c\/em\u003eWorld Affairs\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘One of the great statesmen of contemporary Islam.’\u003c\/em\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Author:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbdul Rahman Hassan Azzam\u003c\/strong\u003e (1893–1976), also known as \u003cstrong\u003eAzzam Pasha\u003c\/strong\u003e, was an Egyptian diplomat, with family origins in Egypt.

European culture derives from older creeds and cultures of the same general background from which Muslim society draws its inspiration and strength.

Today, a large part of the modern world worships its own image. On the other hand, Marxian socialism and welfare capitalism are alike creating rituals for the new materialistic creeds and philosophies in the West as well as in the Communist East.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eThe God of the universe, of Jews, Christians, Muslims, and all, is being dethroned in favor of an idol to which all kneel and offer sacrifices; that idol is called “a high standard of living”. It is becoming the object of unanimous reverence in our material age. In spite of the tug and attraction from both East and West, the Muslims still hesitate and doubt; they hate to join in the celebration of materialistic idols and creeds, but they are nevertheless attracted by the prospect of a higher standard of living.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eSome of our people are being indoctrinated with the philosophies, dogmas, and rituals of the materialistic faith, but the majority of the Muslims in Africa and Asia are still confused and disturbed. They have known for a long time that they have a faith, a revealed Law, a society, and principles which call for a state that is neither secular nor theocratic but possibly both, and that is neither autocratic nor demagogic. Muslim society is based on the freedom of the individual and the equality of everyone. Muslim society is in its essence a free, classless society. It is classless not on the basis of any economic theory but on the basis of its egalitarian laws and its refusal to recognize distinction and honor except through piety and submission to the revealed Law, whose fundamental principles are universal, humane, and democratic. Nothing that is preached by the East or West is new to the Muslims. Reason is essential in judging even their dogmas and matters of faith, just as independent reasoning is one of the four sources of their jurisprudence.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eTherefore, they are often troubled when told that these modem ideologies are the fruit of modem science and a ripe Western civilization. They ask themselves if it is really necessary to part with the Creator of the universe in order to share the fruits of modern science and technology. Must they ignore their beloved prophets, their tolerant universal culture, and their nation to enjoy the benefits of this age? Are they to part with their humane society and relaxed life, their trust in the inevitability of a destiny directed and ruled by the Almighty? They refuse to believe that human destiny and history are ruledand determined by a class struggle, for a system of wages. They do not believe, either, that a classless society on a material basis will be the fulfillment of history or of human destiny. The pretension that the eternal universe is planned for such an economic theory, or for a higher standard of living, is incomprehensible to the Muslim mind. Are they to give up the solidarity and mutual welfare which they enjoy with their families, relatives, neighbors because of such reasoning and to join in the general rush for the various societies of a Godless East or West?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eThese are some of the questions agitating the minds and hearts of those conscious and responsible among the six hundred million Muslims of all races and nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eI have tried, in these pages, to give a few answers to these matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eIslam is different from Judaism; Islam, being a universal submission to God, has no concept of a particular Covenant or a specially chosen people. It also differs from the Christian view of the Kingdom of God in heaven and the separate kingdom of Caesar on earth. And it differs from other religions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism. Islam is a faith, a law, a way of life, a “nation,” and a “state,” with a system of jurisprudence that is continually evolving for the administration of this world and the satisfaction of human needs under the sovereignty of our Creator. Islam’s Kingdom of God on earth, with its faith, its laws, piety, rituals, society, and state, is the prelude and the means to the afterlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eThe Muslims, while sharing many of the beliefs and precepts of other religions, particularly Judaism and Christianity, have a limited common ground with modem materialistic ideologies. Islam may share a belief in the importance of this world, the Kingdom on earth, but asks, “Why without God, the Creator?” And why a life whose rituals are based solely on economics? With such ideologies, Islam finds no possibility of compromise, being, as I have tried to point out in this book, a religion, a culture, a way of life, and an indivisible nation with an independent jurisprudence. Its classless community of partners has evolved from a totally different philosophy. It refuses to allow its indivisible culture and faith to be set aside in the pursuit of a planned economy or adjustment to a welfare state. Islam’s institutions are unique; they do not compromise with materialist dogmas. It stands firm on individual piety and individual freedom, a close-knit family devoted to the welfare of every relative, and a classless, benevolent society.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px; margin: .5em 0px; font-size: 12px; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 17px;\"\u003eThough this book,\u003cem\u003eThe Eternal Message of Muhammad,\u003c\/em\u003emay be lacking in scholarly gifts, it is a serious attempt to point out the Muslim answers to today’s world.

An 'ayniyyah is a qasida (eulogy) all of whose verses end and rhyme in the letter 'ayn. Mawlana al-Haddad's 'Ayniyyah consists of 140 such verses. We are fortunate that Sayyidi wa Murshidi al-Habib Ahmad Mash-hur bin Taha al-Haddad Naf'anAllahu bih (1325-1416 A.H) has left this biography of al-Habib Ahmad bin Zayn al-Habshi for posterity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHe was born in the year 1069 Hijriyya and grew up in the best 'Alawiyya surroundings, and traces his line to al-Mustafa -- the Prophet, upon whom be blessings and peace of Allah.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHe worked hard in searching for 'ilm from his very youth; learnt the Qur'an by heart and acquired various kinds of 'ilm from the 'ulamaa of his home area, except that he did not find everything he wanted in his town of al-Ghurfa. He travelled to Seyun and Tarim. Dates were his only provision. He used to frequent the 'ulamaa and attend their darsas and pick up their priceless pearls. He attached himself to al-'Arif Billahi 'Abdalla bin Ahmad Balfaqih and studied under him many titles of Sacred Law and Gnosis. He also studied under as-Sayyid al-Imam Ahmad bin 'Umar al-Hinduwan who gave him magnificent predictions about the future at the mountain path of the tomb of Prophet Hud, upon whom be peace. He had contacts with many of the 'Ulamaa of Hadhramawt and Yaman and al-Haramayn (the Sacred Sanctuaries of Makka and al-Madina). He exhausted all the 'ulum they had. And the last to whom he attached himself exclusively at the end was Qutb al-Irshad al-Habib 'Abdalla bin 'Alawi al-Haddad. He befriended him for about 40 years and received his infinite 'ulum and gnoses, and he never ceased studying under him. In fact he died when al-Habib Ahmad was reading to him al-Muwatta of Imam Malik and Sharh as-Sunnah --- the Commentary on the Sunnah -- of al-Imam al-Baghwy. And he used to revere and venerate him and urge people to study under him.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHe devoted his whole time acquiring both inner and outer 'ulum. Therefore he said: After I was 70 years of age I had no other desire except 'ilm. Indeed, he looked at about 100 books around him and said: \"Were all these books to be destroyed, I would reproduce them from my heart.\" He studied most of the highly regarded books of ash-Shafi'i and others on the subject of exegesis and the Hadith and instrumental subjects and recitations and medicine and mathematics and engineering, the 'ulum of the Folk and Subtleties as you may well observe in his all-comprehensive Safinah which runs to 25 volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated to the pursuit and promotion of knowledge from an early age, he was known not only for his wisdom and scholarship, but also for the establishment of mosques across the ancient region of Hadramaut.

Without a doubt, one of the greatest events in impact upon Muslims in the last thousand years is the end of the Islamic caliphate at the first of this century, an event that marked not only the passing of temporal, political authority, but in many respects the passing of the consensus of orthodox Sunni Islam as well. No one familiar with the classical literature in any of the Islamic legal sciences, whether Qur'anic exegesis (\u003cem\u003etafsir\u003c\/em\u003e), hadith, or jurisprudence (\u003cem\u003efiqh\u003c\/em\u003e), can fail to be struck by the fact that questions are asked today about basic fundamentals of Islamic Sacred Law (\u003cem\u003eSharia\u003c\/em\u003e) and its ancillary disciplines that would not have been asked in the Islamic period not because Islamic scholars were not brilliant enough to produce the questions, but because they already knew the answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMy talk tonight will aim to clarify some possible misunderstandings of the concept of innovation (\u003cem\u003ebida\u003c\/em\u003e) in Islam, in light of the prophetic hadith,\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"Beware of matters newly begun, for every matter newly begun is innovation, every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in hell.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe sources I use are traditional Islamic sources, and my discussion will centre on three points:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe first point is that scholars say that the above hadith does not refer to all new things without restriction, but only to those which nothing in Sacred Law attests to the validity of. The use of the word \"every\" in the hadith does not indicate an absolute generalization, for there are many examples of similar generalizations in the Qur'an and sunna that are not applicable without restriction, but rather are qualified by restrictions found in other primary textual evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe second point is that the sunna and way of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was to accept new acts initiated in Islam that were of the good and did not conflict with established principles of Sacred Law, and to reject things that were otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnd our third and last point is that new matters in Islam may not be rejected merely because they did not exist in the first century, but must be evaluated and judged according to the comprehensive methodology of Sacred Law, by virtue of which it is and remains the final and universal moral code for all peoples until the end of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller\u003c\/strong\u003e is an American converted to Islam.

He began his studies with his maternal uncle Isma`il ibn Yahya al-Muzani, a leading disciple of Shafi`i. When Tahawi was about 20 years old he abandoned the Shafi'i school and transferred to the Hanafi School.Different versions are given by his biographers of his conversion to the Hanafi school, but the most probable reason seems to be that the system of Abu Hanifa appealed to his critical insight more than that of Shafi'i.Tahawi then studied under the head of the Hanafis in Egypt, Ahmed ibn Abi Ibrahim, who had himself studied under the two primary students of Abu Hanifa, Abu Yusuf and Muhammad al-Shaybani. Tahawi next went to Syria in 268\/882 for further studies in Hanafi Law and became the pupil of the chief judge of Damascus.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTahawi gained an extraordinary knowledge of hadith in addition to Hanafi jurisprudence and consequently his study circles attracted many scholars who related hadith from him and transmitted his works.

He was viewed as a distinguished and highly proficient writer and became known as the most knowledgeable of fiqh amongst the Hanafis in Egypt. This was even though he had a share in the fiqh of all of the madhabs of fiqh and hadith, and he knew of the various sciences of Islam.

His translation is formal without being archaic and is written in a style that Christians can recognize from their own credal formulations. The work is of value to others than Muslims, for two reasons: first, it provides in 130 short paragraphs a clear presentation of core Muslim belief in a way that is not easily available by other means, thereby providing a very positive instrument for the essential work of dialogue. Secondly, it provides Christians, who have also developed and continue to use credal formulations, with the opportunity to see just where the Islamic understanding of God comes close to the Christian understanding of God. This does much to reduce the credibility of approaches which insist on a thoroughgoing bipolar understanding of Christianity and Islam.

Ordinary Muslims did not study advanced theological treatises, but memorized and defined themselves by the pithy dogmas advanced in texts like al-Tahawi's creed. These creeds address universal questions, as well as issues particularly relevant to the political and social context of their formulation. Imam al-Tahawi's creed is therefore useful both as a record of core and enduring principles of Sunni theology, as well as a glimpse into some of the dynamics of the early formative period of Islamic thought.

Tahawi then studied under the head of the Hanafis in Egypt, Ahmed ibn Abi Ibrahim, who had himself studied under the two primary students of Abu Hanifa, Abu Yusuf, and Muhammad al-Shaybani.

In The Palmyran Creed, named after the ancient city of Palmyra (Tadmur, Syria), Ibn Taymiyya presents the foundations of his theology, expounds upon its principles and offers his arguments in support of it. At the heart of this lies his claim of affirming only what Allah and His Messenger (P.B.U.H) affirmed of the Divine attributes [sifat], “without inquiring into the modality [takyif], drawing likeness [tamthil], or engaging in alteration [tahrif] and denial [taʿtil],” ostensibly purifying Divine Oneness [tawhid].\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn his critique of The Palmyran Creed, renowned contemporary theologian Shaykh Saʿid Foudah clinically refutes Ibn Taymiyya’s claim, demonstrating that it could not be further from the truth. The Taymiyyan theology of resemblance [tashbih] is deconstructed and the anthropomorphic premises [tajsim] for what Ibn Taymiyya considers to be the reality and attributes of Allah are revealed. Shaykh Sa'id establishes, rationally and textually, that ascriptions such as hands, eyes, face, shin, movement, direction, change, spatial contact, limits and boundaries are inconceivable with respect to Allah, and that nothing can possibly share in His reality.

Perhaps the most gripping and pertinent of these was the issue of assigning biological parentage to Adam (‘\u003cem\u003ealayh al-salam\u003c\/em\u003e). For over 140 years, Muslim scholars have sought to preserve belief in the original creation of Adam (‘\u003cem\u003ealayh al-salam\u003c\/em\u003e) by formulating a variety of rejoinders focusing on different aspects of the theory of evolution and through an array of apologetics. Oftentimes, many of the arguments were directed foremost against fellow Muslims who sought to make way for evolutionary theory through differing hermeneutical approaches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThis monograph investigates the original creation of Adam (\u003cem\u003ealayh al-salam\u003c\/em\u003e) by utilizing the analytical, two-tier approach of Muslim dialecticians whereby firstly, the mere rational possibility (\u003cem\u003eimkan\u003c\/em\u003e) of a human being created without biological parentage will be demonstrated, and secondly, to prove its actual occurrence (\u003cem\u003ewuqu’\u003c\/em\u003e). The author takes a critical approach to prove that irreconcilable theological inconsistencies would arise from denying Adamic originality, thereby proving that belief in his original creation remains certain (\u003cem\u003eqat’i\u003c\/em\u003e) notwithstanding the demands of the theory of evolution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Introduction\u003cbr\u003e • Empirical Methods, Miracles, and Adam a.s.\u003cbr\u003e • Common Dissent\u003cbr\u003e • Consensus\u003cbr\u003e • Reason for the Revelation of Verse 3:59\u003cbr\u003e • The Context (siyaq) of Verse 3:59\u003cbr\u003e • Textual Analysis of Verse 3:59: Bringing it all together\u003cbr\u003e • Objections\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sqsrte-text-color--accent\"\u003e“...given the many intricacies surrounding the topic of “Evolution and Islam” found in our times, it is highly advised that authorized instructors of Sunni doctrine address this matter in an exhaustive manner. For it is an issue that begins as a mere prick of a thorn, but when left unattended, has the potential to metastasize into a theological malady as regrettably experienced and witnessed by so many today.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— The Provenance of Man, p. 153\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eShaykh Abdurrahman Mihirig\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eShaykh Muḥammad Yāsir al-Ḥanafī, graduate of the Islamic Institute of Dewsbury\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eShaykh ꜥUmar Muḥsin, graduate of Ribāṭ Tarīm and senior student of the late al-Ḥabīb Sālim al-Shāṭirī\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eShaykh Asrār Rashīd, senior student of the late al-Sayyid ꜥAbbās b. ꜥAlawī al-Mālikī al-Ḥasanī al-Makkī\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDr. Adi Setia, senior student of Professor Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas and founder of the Worldview of Islam Research Academy (WIRA)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eTahseen N.
