Qu’est-ce que La Shari‘a?
$3Overview
Qu’es-ce que La Shari‘a? Qu’est-ce que l’Islam dit ou encore qu’estce que le Coran prescrit sur ceci ou cela ? Ces interrogations font désormais partie intégrante de la sémiologie éditoriale ordinaire. Elles relèvent des traits caractéristiques de notre époque. Aux variantes multiples, elles sont beaucoup moins posées dans des écoles religieuses ou des facultés d’études islamiques que dans les salles de redaction et les studios des médias de masse. L’islam / Islam, la Shari‘a , les fatwa (responsa) etc. ont déjà leur mode d’existence dans l’univers lexical propre à la subjectivité consumériste dominante.

Rediscovering Prayer Communicating with Allah
$3Overview
Muslims are required to pray five times a day, but for too many of us these are little more than physical movements devoid of any spirit or divine connection? In contrast with such routine outward performance, the Prophet characterised prayer as “the spiritual ascent (mi[raj) of the believer.” In a modern world of constant distraction, how are we to achieve the communion with the Divine that prayer is supposed to be? How can we reach the state of the Prophet who would ask his Companion Bilal to give the call to prayer with the expression: “Give us repose through it, O Bilal.” The present short but valuable work provides us with the answer.
Dr Bassam Saeh, a scholar of the Arabic language, casts a refreshing new perspective on prayer in the modern context. With practical examples, and in contemporary idiom, he charts a path for the seeker of God’s pleasure to attain a deeper sense of consciousness and devotion in prayer. The short chapters of this work are designed to be read and reread as constant reminders for us to renew our commitment to the Divine in our prayer.
Dr Bassam Saeh holds a BA in Arabic literature from Damascus University, and an MA & PhD in modern Arabic poetry from Cairo University. He has taught at a number of universities across the Middle East and Europe. In 1990 he founded the Oxford Academy for Advanced Studies and served as its principal until 2005. He has also been a presenter of several radio and TV programs, and has authored a number of books. He currently resides in Oxford, England. -

To help students in their intrinsic search for self and other necessities, they must improve their metacognitive skills that are inherent in every human being.

Young people must learn to live in a conscious state of global awareness of Allah and remain faithful to the teachings of the Quran. This educational book, with its variety of outstanding concepts and activities, aims to embark students on a journey towards truth so that they realise their true worth as representatives of Allah on earth, for truth is the central idea that guides all good intentions and good deeds, and which ultimately transforms the doers of good deeds into excellent beings.
