Uno de los mayores monoteísmos de la historia, con una historia llena de esplendor militar, artístico y científico y un presente convulso y turbulento: el Islam contado desde su origen. El Islam nace en el S. VII en la zona de Arabia y en la actualidad es la segunda religión más practicada del mundo con más de 1.300 millones de musulmanes. La historia de esta religión desde su nacimiento hasta ahora, es un convulso relato que alterna épocas de esplendor y hegemonía mundial en todos los órdenes, con otras de oscurantismo y fundamentalismo.

"Cet ouvrage de quelques heures pour livrer une histoire - presque complète - de l'islam politique. Cette idéologie qui est née et qui a évolué dans l'ombre de la Grande Histoire de la civilisation musulmane s'est nourrie, à chaque époque, de contextes particuliers et de luttes intestines. Appelée communément islamisme cette pensée - qui instrumentalise des lectures littéralistes du corpus islamique - est méconnue."

La nascita del Califfato di Siria e Iraq ha prodotto, tra gli altri disastri, l'acuirsi del conflitto lungo le linee dello scisma tra sunniti e sciiti. Ciò ha provocato l'apertura di diversi teatri di guerra: Yemen, Libano, Bahrein, addirittura Afghanistan, oltre, ovviamente, a Siria e Iraq. Si tratta di una lotta per l'egemonia regionale, che coinvolge le identità religiose di milioni di fedeli nell'area e in diaspora.

At a time when violent images of the Muslim world dominate our headlines, Western audiences are growing increasingly interested in a different picture of Islam, specifically the idea of Muslim nonviolence, and what it could mean for the world. But is nonviolence compatible with the teachings of Islam? Is it practical to suggest that Muslim societies must adopt nonviolence to thrive in today’s world? Where is the Muslim equivalent of a Mohandas K. Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.?

John L. Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. Now, in this brilliant portrait of Islam today - and tomorrow - he draws on a lifetime of thought and research to sweep away the negative stereotypes and provide an accurate, richly nuanced, and revelatory account of the fastest-growing religion in the world. Here Esposito explores the major questions and issues that face Islam in the 21st century and how that will deeply affect global politics.

Food trucks announcing "halal" proliferate in many urban areas but how many non-Muslims know what this means, other than cheap lunch? In this audiobook, Febe Armanios and Bogac Ergene provide an accessible introduction to halal (permissible) food in the Islamic tradition. Historically, Muslims used food to define their identities in relation to co-believers and non-Muslims. Food taboos are rooted in the Quran and prophetic customs, as well as writings from various periods and geographical settings.

Al-Hasan al-Wazzan - born in Granada to a Muslim family that in 1492 went to Morocco - became famous as the great Renaissance writer Leo Africanus, author of the first geography of Africa to be published in Europe (in 1550). He had been captured by Christian pirates in the Mediterranean and imprisoned by the Pope; when he was released and baptized, he lived a European life of scholarship as the Christian writer Giovanni Leone....

Shahan Mufti’s family history, which he can trace back 1,400 years to the inner circle of the prophet Muhammad, offers an enlightened perspective on the mystifying history of Pakistan. Mufti uses the stories of his ancestors, many of whom served as judges and jurists in Muslim sharia courts of South Asia for many centuries, to reveal the deepest roots - real and imagined - of Islamic civilization in Pakistan.

Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis der drei großen Weltreligionen Christentum, Islam ist in den medialen Diskussionen allgegenwärtig. Es ist vom "Kampf der Kulturen" die Rede, von Interreligiosität (was aber genau ist das?), v.a. aber von politischen Problemen und Konflikten, die mit religiösen, ethnischen, gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen eng verknüpft sind. Doch liegt es nicht nahe, zu allererst die Urdokumente der Religionen, ihre Heiligen Schriften nämlich, zu befragen und nach Besonderheiten, Charakteristika und Gemeinsamkeiten abzuklopfen?

"Sal a combatir sea cual fuere tu condición. Contribuye a la causa de Allah con tus bienes y lucha" (sura 9:41). "Yihad" es una palabra árabe que significa simplemente lucha, pero se suele interpretar por Guerra Santa. Por desgracia, hoy, está en boca de todo el mundo en esta sangrienta acepción. Hace catorce siglos el islam nacía bañado en sangre y al día de hoy no parece que esto haya cambiado mucho.

From the fall of Constantinople in 1453 until the 18th century, many Western European writers viewed the Ottoman Empire with almost obsessive interest. In this path-breaking audiobook, Noel Malcolm ranges through these vital centuries of East-West interaction, studying all the ways in which thinkers in the West interpreted the Ottoman Empire as a political phenomenon - and Islam as a political religion.

The Muslim Brotherhood, or Ikhwan, has engaged in terrorism, assassinations, and anti-Western, anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence for almost a century - yet few Americans realize how powerful they really are. While we focus on al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah, it's actually the Muslim Brotherhood, the world's oldest, most influential, and most anti-American Islamist group, that has become the preeminent voice and power in the Muslim world.

Servants of Allah presents a history of African Muslims, following them from West Africa to the Americas. Although many assume that what Muslim faith they brought with them to the Americas was quickly absorbed into the new Christian milieu, as Sylviane A. Diouf demonstrates in this meticulously researched, groundbreaking volume, Islam flourished during slavery on a large scale.

Understanding Islam's sacred text is integral to understanding your Muslim neighbor. Cross-cultural missionary and scholar Matthew Aaron Bennett blends the insights of Islamic believers, secular Qur'an scholars, and missionaries to Muslims, making The Qur'an and the Christian like no other resource for Christian ministry to Muslims. Combining these perspectives in one guide better equips Christians to communicate the biblical gospel to friends and neighbors who are adherents to Islam—both in and out of majority-Muslim cultures.

Les empires, caractérisés par des cycles d’émergence, de conquête, de domination et de déclin, présentent des traits récurrents qui suggèrent une dimension cyclique. Dans cette perspective, il convient d’analyser les leçons historiques susceptibles d’éclairer le présent. L’historien arabe Ibn Khaldûn, actif au XIVe siècle, a élaboré des théories dont la pertinence demeure significative. Le Professeur Gabriel Martinez-Gros, agrégé d’histoire et spécialiste du monde arabe médiéval, explore la pensée d’Ibn Khaldûn et son influence persistante sur le champ historiographique contemporain.

These were the contemporary disciples of Muhammad who were Jews and Christians who met him and became Muslims.
