Fifteen Letters (Khamsata ‘Ashara Maktuban)
This book consists of fifteen letters by Shaikh ‘Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani. Articulated in a sublime mystical language, the letters describe spiritual experiences that are attained through striving against one’s base desires and committed devotion to Allah. They are written in a peculiar style whereby each sentence or group of sentences is followed by a related Qur’anic text, which is often a part of a verse.
The Mystery of the Historical Jesus
This new contribution to the scholarship on the historical Jesus shows that, unlike the New Testament accounts, the Qur’anic image of Jesus is both internally consistent and reconcilable with confirmed history.
The Mystery of the Messiah
This book compares the concept of “Messiah” in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, examining its portrayal in the Old Testament and other Jewish writings, the New Testament, and the Qur’an.
Jihad in the Qur’an
Focusing on the meaning of jihad in the Qur’an, this study explains that jihad is the person’s ongoing struggle against all manifestations of evil, starting with the evil drives within one’s self.
The Mystery of Israel in Ancient Egypt
A comparative study of the exodus in the Qur’an and the Old Testament with reference to relevant information from history and archaeology. The book contrasts the problematic Biblical narrative with the consistent Qur’anic account.
