Athahera Alquraaneya (Le Phénomène coranique)

Athahera Alquraaneya (Le Phénomène coranique)

Athahera Alquraaneya (Le Phénomène coranique)
Malek Bennabi, Dar El Fikr Press, Damas, 2000 | 4 edition | ISBN: 1575470292 | 328 pages | PDF | 84.4 MB

Dans la pensée de Bennabi, un étroit processus d’enchaînement logique entre les trois sphères interdépendantes que sont les idées, la culture et la civilisation est magistralement échafaudé. Pour Bennabi, la situation dans le monde arabe et islamique est une situation d’urgence. On comprend ainsi, que pour lui un exercice intellectuel, une définition abstraite ou un apport théorique comptent peu. « Notre approche de la culture doit être différente de celle des autres. Je parle des Occidentaux chez qui les théories de la culture ont foisonné. Nous vivons des problèmes qui sont totalement différents des problèmes des autres, en conséquence nos concepts de la culture et de la civilisation ne sauraient être les mêmes ». La différence est fondamentale pour une raison simple : le chercheur occidental décrit une réalité sociale concrète et omniprésente. L’édifice est en place devant lui, il le constate et le présente. Le chercheur dans l’espace arabo-musulman doit aborder la culture comme une réalité sociale qui n’existe pas encore. Dans cette perception propre à Bennabi apparaît ainsi un autre élément d’analyse. Si elle existe dans une société, la culture doit être créée dans une autre qui en est dépourvue. Par ailleurs, la réflexion ne peut partir des mêmes points ni conclure aux mêmes résultats. « C’est pourquoi », écrit-il, « nous devons étudier nos problèmes nous-mêmes. J’ai vécu personnellement et je vis ces problèmes, ma définition de la civilisation ne saurait être en conséquence celle de Toynbee. De même que mon concept de la culture ne saurait être le même que celui de Claude Lévi-Strauss. Nous vivons des problèmes qui ne sont que des thèmes de réflexion chez les autres ». Si cette différence est de taille et si elle met en évidence la ligne de démarcation qu’elle signe entre deux approches, conséquentes de deux situations différentes, elle permet surtout de dissiper des ambiguïtés et de démasquer des entreprises suspectes menées sous la bannière du vocable qui comporte le plus dangereux des concepts. « Les mots doivent garder leurs vertus », souligne ailleurs, Bennabi, en particulier le mot culture qui ne doit pas signifier n’importe quoi. Bennabi rejoint ici Malraux lorsqu’il affirme que « la culture ne s’hérite pas, elle se conquiert » (Philippe Benetton : histoire des mots culture et civilisation).

Crusading Peace: Christendom, the Muslim World, and Western Political Order

Crusading Peace: Christendom, the Muslim World, and Western Political Order

Tomaz Mastnak, "Crusading Peace: Christendom, the Muslim World, and Western Political Order"
Publisher: University of California Press | 2001 | ISBN 0520226356 | PDF | 421 pages | 21.3 MB

Tomaz Mastnak's provocative analysis of the roots of peacemaking in the Western world elucidates struggles for peace that took place in the high and late Middle Ages. Mastnak traces the ways that eleventh-century peace movements, seeking to end violence among Christians, shaped not only power structures within Christendom but also the relationship of the Western Christian world to the world outside. The unification of Christian society under the banner of "holy peace" precipitated a fundamental division between the Christian and non-Christian worlds, and the postulated peace among Christians led to holy war against non-Christians.

Fethi Benslama, Psychoanalysis and the Challenge of Islam

Fethi Benslama, Psychoanalysis and the Challenge of Islam

Fethi Benslama, Psychoanalysis and the Challenge of Islam
University of Minnesota Press | 2009 | ISBN 0816648891 | 272 Pages | PDF OCR | 6.9 MB

Fethi Benslama is a psychoanalyst who, although a secular thinker, identifies himself as a person of Muslim culture who rejects ready-made explanations for Islamic fundamentalism. In that spirit, Benslama demythifies both Islam and Western ideas of the religion by addressing the psychoanalytic root causes of the Muslim world’s clash with modernity and subsequent turn to fundamentalism.

Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World (Vol.1-2)

Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World (Vol.1-2) Size : 25.1Mb Release: 2003-12 Publisher: Format: Hardcover 1000 pages ISBN: 0028656032 (0-02-865603-2) ISBN 13: 9780028656038 List Price: $352.00 Edition: large type edition illustrated edition After 13 months of war and occupation in Iraq, many Americans are at least aware of the division in Iraq between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. However, few Americans know that this schism in Islam dates back nearly 14 centuries. Nor do most have any inkling as to what their differences entail. Equally perplexing to many are the reasons why the opinions of a local imam, or prayer leader, should stall the search for a political solution in Iraq. Even though the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, dramatically demonstrated our need to better understand the Muslim world, Americans seem no closer to such understanding. Improving Western comprehension of Islam and the Muslim world is the deliberate aim of the editors of this new reference tool. Their scope is the entirety of Muslim history, from the rise of the prophet Muhammad to the fall of Baghdad. In 504 entries, more than 500 scholars describe not only the confrontations of Islam with the Byzantine Greeks and Christian Crusaders, but also with modernity and globalization. Biographies describe important religious and cultural figures, as well as influential rulers and political leaders. From Timbuktu to Southeast Asia, the development of Islam in different regions is reviewed. However, the focus is not on political history, but the religious and cultural concepts that have shaped Muslim society. These include the Koran, dietary laws and pilgrimage, as well as terrorism, secularization and the Internet. The result is not the exhaustive scholarship of the Encyclopedia of Islam (Brill, 1908-1938 and 1960-2003), but a broadly painted portrait that students and lay readers will find accessible. Students will still find useful guidance for further research in extensive bibliographies and cross references. They will also appreciate the 170 maps, charts and illustrations, as well as the glossary of common terms, the regional timelines and the genealogies of religious leaders. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries. Dowqnload http://hotfile.com/dl/13875994/c375b3f/Encyclopedia_of_Islam_Rapidsharehunt.com.rar.html NO PASSSSSSS

The Mosque and the Modern World

Renata Holod, Hasan-Uddin Khan, "The Mosque and the Modern World"
Thames & Hudson Ltd | Pages: 288 | 1997-10 | PDF | ISBN: 0500341559 | 17 MB

In the decades since the ending of colonial rule, new mosques have been built in significant numbers throughout the Islamic world, as well as to serve Muslim communities in other countries. This text features over 70 projects ranging from commissions by wealthy private individuals and local communities to imposing State Mosques. The international nature of Islamic architecture is seen in the buildings featured; in Pakistan, for example, in the Ottoman-style minarets of the King Faisal Mosque, Islamabad, designed bu the Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay. In the West, major complexes such as the Islamic Cultural Centre of New York, the Islamic Centre and Mosque in Rome and the Regent's Park Mosque in London, provide a new dimension to the urban landscape. This discussion of the individual design briefs and solutions focuses on the clients' and architects' choices of symbolic imagery, together with technical data and a brief background history for each project.

Dua From The Holy Quran

Dua From The Holy Quran

25 Dua’s From The Holy Quran is an E-Book: Du’a (also spelt du’ah or dwuha) is a supplication in Islam, an Arabic term which means to ‘call out’ or to ’summon’. Muslims use this term and call out to God, and Muslims regard this as one of the second greatest acts of worship in Islam. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is reported to have said “Dua is the very essence of worship.” One of Allah’s commands expressed to Muslims through the Quran is for them to call out to it.

The Rise Of Islam-Harun Yahya

The Rise Of Islam-Harun Yahya

"When God's help and victory have arrived, and you have seen people entering God's religion in droves, then glorify your Lord's praise and ask His forgiveness"(Qur'an, 110: 2-3)

The author, who writes under the pen-name HARUN YAHYA, was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary and secondary education in Ankara, he then studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul University. His pen-name is made up of the names Harun" (Aaron) and "Yahya" (John), in memory of the two esteemed prophets who fought against Lack of faith.
All these works by the author center around one goal: to convey the message of the Qur'an to people, thus encouraging them to think about basic faith-related issues, such as the existence of God, His unity and the hereafter, and to display the decrepit foundations and perverted works of godless systems. Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, from India to America, England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, and Spain to Brazil.


Most important feature of his books is the delicate style of writing with impressive pictorial representation that meets the international standard, probably the first to write books on Islamic issues like that. Must read Whether you are Muslim or belonging to any other Religion!!!

Arab Armies of the Middle East Wars (2) (Men at Arms)

Arab Armies of the Middle East Wars (2) (Men at Arms)

Arab Armies of the Middle East Wars (2) (Men at Arms)
Publisher: Osprey Publishing | ISBN: 0850458005 | edition 1988 | PDF | 48 pages | 11,8 mb

On 11 June 1967 three Arab armies lay in ruin. The Six-Day War drastically altered the political and military complexion of the Middle East. Prior to the war, Israel was regarded as a nuisance. Afterwards, she achieved permanent regional superpower status. The Arab response to defeat was a thirst for revenge; and the process of regrouping was the nearest the Arab world would come to true unity. Sam Kazt details the important events of the inter-Arab struggles, and both the uniforms and organisation and the special military and political roles of the elite units who took part.

Hamas vs. Fatah: The Struggle For Palestine

Hamas vs. Fatah: The Struggle For Palestine

Jonathan Schanzer, "Hamas vs. Fatah: The Struggle For Palestine"
Palgrave Macmillan | 2008-11-11 | ISBN: 0230609058 | 256 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

In June 2007 civil war broke out in the Gaza Strip between two rival Palestinian factions, Hamas and Fatah. Western peace efforts in the region always focused on reconciling two opposing fronts: Israel and Palestine. Now, this careful exploration of Middle East history over the last two decades reveals that the Palestinians have long been a house divided. What began as a political rivalry between Fatah’s Yasir Arafat and Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin during the first intifada of 1987 evolved into a full-blown battle on the streets of Gaza between the forces of Arafat’s successor, Mahmoud Abbas, and Ismael Haniyeh, one of Yassin’s early protégés. Today, the battle continues between these two diametrically opposing forces over the role of Palestinian nationalism and Islamism in the West Bank and Gaza.

In this thought-provoking book, Jonathan Schanzer questions the notion of Palestinian political unity, explaining how internal rivalries and violence have ultimately stymied American efforts to promote Middle East peace, and even the Palestinian quest for a homeland.
