Bahauddin Naqshband: A Central Asian Sufi : Necdet Tosun

Bahauddin Naqshband of Bukhara, known as the reviver of the Khwajagan school, is one of the most eminent Sufi figures of the 14th century. After Bahauddin Naqshband s time, this school later came to be known as the Naqshbandiyya order which has now spread throughout the entire Islamic world. Since then, the Sufi views of Bahauddin Naqshband and the Naqshbandiyya order have functioned as an elaborate part of the fabric of Muslims' lives, both on material and spiritual planes. This book is a humble contribution to the history of Sufism as an introduction to the life of this great historical figure, Bahauddin Naqshband, his life, his Sufi views, and history of the Naqshbandiyya order.

Book: Coherence of the Incoherence : Between Al-Ghazali & Ibn Rushd on Nature & Cosmos by Edward Omar Moad

The debate recorded in al-Ghazālī’s Incoherence of the Philosophers, and Ibn Rushd’s response in Incoherence of the Incoherence, is one of the most philosophically interesting events in the history of classical Islamic thought. Here, the cutting edge of Ghazālī’s searching critique meets the depth of Ibn Rushd’s philosophical insight in a clash over the innovative synthesis of Aristotelian and Neo-Platonic thought represented chiefly by Ibn Sīnā. This critical commentary closely analyses and evaluates the arguments deployed by all three parties in the debate, wherein are raised questions about the origin of the universe and the reality of time, possibility, causality, and nature. Where opportunities arise, it actively engages in the discussion by suggesting alternative arguments and philosophical directions. It goes beyond the cliché construal of the Incoherence debate as simply a conflict between faith and reason, exposing it as a genuinely philosophical enterprise and a potential source of fresh perspectives on contemporary discussions in metaphysics and analytic theology.

Anyone interested in the al-Ghazali/Ibn Rushd confrontation will find this book indispensable. Balanced, analytical and well-argued throughout, Moad has made an important contribution to the area.                                                              Oliver Leaman, Professor of Philosophy, University of Kentucky               Source: https://www.gorgiaspress.com/coherence-of-the-incoherence

Hüseyin Hilmi Işık (rahmat-Allahi ’alaih) published SE’ÂDET-İ EBEDİYYE(ENDLESS BLISS) in 1956. With the encouragement of the readers he also prepared the second part which was printed in 1957.These two books aroused so much an interest and attraction towards Islam in the youth and exposed him to a shower of questions.In order to answer these questions he published the third part in 1960 with explanations and additions from reliable sources. He put together these three volumes under the name SE’ÂDET-İ EBEDİYYE and had it printed as a single book in 1963.

Hüseyin Hilmi Işık (rahmat-Allahi ’alaih) established Işık Bookstore in 1966 whose name was subsequently changed to Hakikat Bookstore in order to print and distribute his books more efficiently. Stemming from interest in SE’ÂDET-İ EBEDİYYE and unceasing questions he made new additions to each edition and a unique work of 1248 pages was formed. This has been translated into English under the name Endless Bliss and printed by Hakikat Bookstore in six volumes.

In the following years new editions of SE’ÂDET-İ EBEDİYYE and other books written by Hüseyn Hilmi Işık in arabic, persian and turkish which were translated into many different languages have been continuously published.

Hüseyin Hilmi Işık (rahmat-Allahi ’alaih) has made compilations and translations from the most precious books and has pioneered to spread belief especially Ahl-i Sunnat wal Jamâ’at belief by simplifying it in a pure and plain fashion. He has introduced true Islam to all the people in the world and has spread hundreds of arabic and persian books into the whole world which were approved and praised by ahl as-Sunnat scholars.He has revived forgotten Islamic knowledge by clarifying thousands of issues in SE’ÂDET-İ EBEDİYYE and his other books. Bearing in mind the hadith (He who recovers one of my forgotten sunnats will receive as many thawâbs as a hundred martyrs will receive!) he wrote thoroughly about fard, wâjib, sunnat even mustahabs. He used to say that all these services were derived from sayyed Abdulhakeem Arvasi's favor and tasarruf (power to do himmat, to pay tawajjuh to others) and his excessive respect and affection towards Islam scholars.

He did not abstain from writing the truth in his books and used to say (Allâhu ta’âlâ is the only one to be feared) but at the same time he cared a lot not to cause fitna((discord and trouble)and to obey the laws of state.He said a muslim obeys Islam and does not commit sin,obeys laws of state and does not commit any crime.He often read the hadith (Love of one’s country originates from one’s îmân).

Nur Al-Islam - Arabic : Shaykh Abdal Karim Mudarris RA

Source: Hakikat Kitabevi Online Books

This work, Nûr al-Islâm, was written by Ustâd ‘Abd al-Karîm Muhammad (rahmat-Allâhi ‘alaih), a Mudarris at the Madrasa of Sayyid ‘Abd al-Qâdir al-Jîlânî (qaddas-Allâhu ta’âlâ sirrah), in the city of Dâr as-salâm (Baghdad) in the Hijrî year of 1397, which coincided with 1977. It covers the six fundamentals of îmân and proves the Existence and Uniqueness of Allâhu ta’âlâ and the existence of angels and genies. It tells about the life in the grave, the Paradise and the Hell, and it states that, to be a true Muslim, it is fundamental to study the books of the ‘ulamâ Ahl as-Sunnat, and that following in their footsteps means following in the footsteps of Allah’s Messenger. Besides, it emphasizes that âdam (‘alaihi ‘s-salâm) was the first man and the first Messenger, and ‘îsâ (‘alaihi ‘s-salâm) was the son of a woman named Mary (Hadrat Maryam). It tells that he is a man and a Messenger of Allah. It also states that it is jâ’iz (permitted) and thawâb (meritorious) to visit the graves of our prophet and awliyâ’, that the prayers said by making them intermediaries (wasîla) will be accepted, that they, too, are the means of obtaining material and spiritual benefits as living human beings are, and that, in order to attain to Allâhu ta’âlâ’s favours, it is necessary to work, to make use of the means and to be good-mannered and respectful towards both the living and the dead.

Sidi Ahmad Zarruq ash-Shadhili ق, the Regulator of the Scholars and Saints

Sidi Ahmad Zarruq ash Shadhili ق whose full name is Sidi Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Ahmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isa Zarruq al-Fasi ash-Shadhili (1442–1493 CE) was a

Sunni, Ashari, Maliki Muslim scholar and saint from Fes, Morocco. Although being one of the

most prominent scholars in the late Maliki school , he is better known as a Shadhili Shaykh and

founder of the Zarruqi branch of the Shadhili Sufi order. He was a contemporary of 

Imam Muhammad ibn Sulaiman al-Jazuli ق. He is considered one of the most prominent and

accomplished hadith, legal, theological, and spiritual scholars in Islamic history, and is thought

by some to have been the mujaddid (renewer) of his time. He was also the first to be given the

honorific title “Muhtasib al-‘ulama’ wa al-awliya’" (Regulator of the Scholars and Saints). He

took the name 'Zarruq' (meaning 'blue') due to his blue eyes. His link to the noble Prophetic

linage is attested and acknowledged up to present. However, he humbly refused to draw

people’s attention to that fact. For him, it was taqwa that mattered, and true lineage was in

his view the one founded on noble action.

Qasida Salammiyya - Salawat & Salaam || سَلاَمٌ عَلَي قَبْرٍ يُزَارُ مِنَ الْبُعْدِ (English Subs) -Shaykh Muhammad Ibn al-Habib RA - Karima Foundation -October 19,2020

YouTube Video:  https://youtu.be/7O_U7Tp98lc?si=fzYCpYUuqfUakuph

This poem is written by the famous spiritual sage, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn al-Habib of the Darqawi spiritual path. Like Nahnu Fi Rawda, it carries his deep love for the Prophet Muhammad, Allah bless him and give him peace, and his attachment to the Rawda, his blessed resting place. This poem is in the form of a prayer, where Shaykh Ibn al-Habib sends peace on the Prophet Muhammad, naming everything that he loves about him. He begins by sending peace in the grave of the Prophet, and the Rawda. He describes his heartfelt connection to the Rawda, and the many virtues that his Beloved has been adorned with, such as being called to Allah’s presence in the night of the Ascension, and having a lizard testify to the truth of his prophethood. His Beloved is also the one to whom Allah has granted such splendid beauty, and special virtue and majesty. He mentioned the great news to being able to visit the Rawda, and asks people who are going to convey his greetings. Unfortunately, he says that he is not able to visit himself, but the image of the Rawda stays in his mind, the most beautiful image he has ever seen.
