Ali Ünal Bücher

Transmitted from the Prophet Muhammad, Al-Jawshan-al-Kabir is one of the prayers most frequently recited by Muslims; its contents have deep meanings, its expressions are elegant, and various hadiths relate the rewards that one may receive in this world as in the hereafter for reciting it. The Arabic text of this beautiful prayer of Islamic tradition has been written in the most elegant art of calligraphy and pages are ornamented with colorful illuminations.

Islam has the dubious distinction of being the most poorly introduced and understood religion, worldview, and lifestyle in the world today. This book attempts to reveal Islam`s true face on several intellectual issues. Within the framework of today`s most timely and discussed topics, Islamic and Western conceptions are compared. Islam`s perspective is presented, misconceptions regarding Islam are examined, and the relationship between humanity and religion is discussed.

Basing himself on Said Nursi's Risale-i Nur, Ali Unal presents a scientific and logical argument for the validity of one of religion's main elements of belief in the resurrection and the afterlife.

This well-researched and comprehensive book by Ali Unal details the numerous prophecies about the advent of the Prophet Muhammad in various world scriptures. Unal argues that numerous prophecies of the coming of the Prophet Muhammad are found in the New and Old Testaments, the Zoroastrian, Hindu and Buddhist Scriptures. He then closely examines these prophecies through a comparative and verse-by-verse analysis and explains the rationale for his conclusions. This book will appeal to readers from all faiths and backgrounds that have an interest in major world religions and their sacred scriptures."

TheRisale-i Nur Collection is full of "general principles," not only related to the Islamic Jurisprudence but also to all the fields of Islam or Islamic life and Islamic branches of knowledge. Based on or specially favored with profound wisdom having its source in the Divine Wisdom or the Divine Name of the All-Wise, the Risale-i Nur Collection contains numerous principles, precepts, or maxims which are standards or brilliant criteria enabling people to think, believe, and live according to Islam, and to evaluate and judge things and events in Islam s light. They also provide people with the essentials or basic principles on which the branches of Islamic knowledge and Islamic science are based. Thus, we have tried to collect many of these principles in this book under certain titles, and in certain parts or sections according to the fields of thought and branches of knowledge to which they have a greater relevance."
