Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 43 pages ; 20 cm in Arabic. 'This lecture aims to explore a very important issue regarding the awareness of beauty as a universal concept which manifests itself in different ways, as well as from within the perspective of the philosophy of Islamic law (Maqasid). The topic was delivered in an interesting and engaging way, where the philological definition of beauty was followed by the presentation of the evidences of the origin of the concept of beauty and its location within the Qur'anic perspective - since God is beautiful and loves beauty - and that our religion commends beauty as a duty and aspiration in terms of doing and being. Dr Esam El-Bashir proceeded to explain the foundations of the Maqasid-based perspective on beauty; indeed, beauty is an all-inclusive concept addressing all areas and aspects of life. Moreover, it represents an absolute value, and is connected to values, in relation to the unity between outer and inner self.'.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 336 pages in Arabic. The book "Applying the Objectives of Islamic Law (Maqasid) in the Dawah Sphere" contains the proceedings of the specialised training course organised by the Centre for the Study of the Philosophy of Islamic Law at Al-Furqan Islamic Heritage Foundation, in co-operation with the Islamic Cultural Centre, held in London, in early September 2015. The book includes studies discussing the framework of dawah in the West in respect of philosophical, methodological, practical and theoretical approaches, based on the study of the objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Shar'aah). The lectures discussed the foundations, specifications, problems, and questions of dawah work, and the most important issues faced by preachers. This book presents a clear analysis of those issues and the possible effective measures. It also examines the horizons, aspirations, conceptions, and procedures of modern approaches and encourages attention to the development of community action that contributes to the success of dawah work. This study outlines the need for the application of maqasid in this domain for the benefit of the renewal of Islamic law and its development. Emphasis is given to the gradual and wise approach to dawah by promoting the values of purification, citizenship, mutual recognition of civilisations, peaceful co-existence, and human fraternal bonding. This approach to dawahindividual and collective is subjected to a working method that is knowledge-based, objective and strategically planned. This method should secure positive outcomes, including the establishment of effective techniques, the renewal of the discourse on maqasid and the preventive response against personal bias and emotional reactions in order to shape the model for the expert preacher, competent speaker, proficient Imam, and good adviser. This figure should also aim to transmit to his/her community these ideas by communicating, where possible, in the native tongue of the people to which he/she relates, either for citizenship, residence, culture, and specific interests.
