Rumi and His Sufi Path of Love
This collection of articles by artists, philosophers, psychologists, and social scientists explores the Sufi tradition and its best-known teacher, Rumi, a 13th-century poet, jurist, and philosopher. Setting aside the standard account of Rumi as a poet of mystic love, these contributors view his writings in a historical context, investigating Sufism’s ties to Islam and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammad and tracing Rumi’s influence on Persian and Turkish literature. The reasons why Sufism has transcended national boundaries and sectarian strife so successfully are also debated, and several contributors recommend the Sufi message of faith, love, and tolerance as a useful common ground for dialogue between religious groups.

For Whom the Troubadour Sings
Dawud Wharnsby’s unconventional approaches to writing and religion challenge paradigms of how we look at our own lives in relation to others and the world through which we all journey. “For Whom the Troubadour Sings” collects together all the lyrics that have inspired communities of all faiths around the world for over two decades. Dawud’s work as a writer, inspired in part by his deep respect for spiritual scriptures and the Qur’an in particular, goes beyond the realms of testimony, praise or propagation. Readers of all ages and faith traditions are offered intimate glimpses or windows into the human experience.

Surrendering to God
The word Muslim is commonly used like a brand name: One is either Muslim or not. In this book, Tatari expounds on the literal meaning of being a Muslim, which is the verbal noun submitter. She explains that we are a submitter (Muslim) if and when we submit our mind, heart, and actions to God’s Will. From this perspective, this book appeals not only to those who profess a Muslim identity, but to all who strive to find answers to their existential questions and submit to their Creator.

Gulen echoes the great teacher Rumi by telling is not to ignore the doctrine of causes, not to sit around heedlessly waiting for God’s favor, but rather to continously exert ourselves in order to transform this broken world into a world of peace and justice, in accordance with the Will of God. He neither denies reality by turning his back on modernity, nor does he fall into bitterness, incomprehension and fury. His messeaage is essentially a message of peace and hope, a message that is best conveyed in The Statue of Our Souls.

An Exposition Of The Hearts (Hardcover)
Allah subhanahu wa tala says, ‘On that day nothing will benefit the human being, neither wealth nor children, only the one who brings Allah a sound heart.’ A sound heart is one that is free of defects and spiritual blemishes. Though the spiritual heart is centred in the physical heart, the heart is referred to here is the spiritual heart, not the physical heart. Imam Ghazzali is well known for his writings on philosophy, reformation, rectification and purification of the hearts.
This book is no exception to these subjects. As the title suggests, Imam Ghazzali lays open the hearts and exposes their diseases, ailments, maladies, virtues, merits and values. In doing so, he proves that the hearts are capable of both good and evil and that it is upon us to either cleanse and purify them or to soil and contaminate them.
Purification of the heart would lead to a life of peace, tranquillity, satisfaction, Paradise, and eventual pleasure of Allah. On the other hand, contamination of the hearts would lead to a life of stress, tension, constant fear, dissatisfaction, Hell, and the displeasure of Allah. Imam Ghazzali provides copious proofs from the Quran, Hadith and sayings of the pious. This most certainly increases the value and benefit of the book. This book is a must-read for those who wish to understand the virtues and diseases of the heart, and wish to adopt the correct measures on the path of purification and reformation
