Hardback. Condition: Good. In much of the Muslim world, religion is the central foundation upon which family, community, morality, and identity are built. The inextricable embedment of religion in Muslim culture has forced a new generation of non-believing Muslims to face the heavy costs of abandoning their parents' religion: disowned by their families, marginalized from their communities, imprisoned, or even sentenced to death by their governments. Struggling to reconcile the Muslim society he was living in as a scientist and physician and the religion he was being raised in, Ali A. Rizvi eventually loses his faith. Discovering that he is not alone in his beliefs, he moves to North America and promises to use his new freedom of speech to represent the voices that are usually quashed before reaching the mainstream media - the Atheist Muslim. In The Atheist Muslim, we follow Rizvi as he finds himself caught between two narrative voices he cannot relate to: extreme Islam and anti-Muslim bigotry in a post-9/11 world. The Atheist Muslim recounts the journey that allows Rizvi to criticise Islam - as one should be able to criticize any set of ideas - without demonising his entire people. Emotionally and intellectually compelling, his personal story outlines the challenges of modern Islam and the factors that could help lead it toward a substantive, progressive reformation.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Do you ever make du'a, then pause because you don't know how to put what you're feeling into words?Do you ever feel distant from Allah, even though you still long for closeness?Do you ever whisper a question to the heavens and wait. quietly. for an answer? There are moments when the heart speaks to Allah without formality, without rehearsed words, and without certainty-only with need. Conversations with Allah: The Al-Sami is a deeply reflective spiritual companion for anyone who has ever turned inward and reached upward at the same time. This book offers 365 intimate, soul-centered conversations, one for each day of the year. Every entry follows a gentle and powerful structure: A heartfelt question from a believerA compassionate response inspired by Qur'anic wisdom and Islamic spiritualityA short self-reflection prompt to help you turn inward and engage Allah in your own wordsWritten in a warm, accessible voice, this is not a book of sermons or rigid instruction. It is a daily spiritual dialogue, designed to be read slowly, quietly, and personally. You may begin on any day, read in sequence, or return to specific entries during moments of struggle, gratitude, doubt, or longing. Across twelve thematic months, the journey moves through awakening the heart, inner struggle, patience, forgiveness, love, worship, resilience, purpose, and closeness to Allah. Each page reassures the reader of a simple truth: Allah hears. Allah knows. Allah is near. The responses are not presented as revelation, but as spiritually grounded reflections shaped by the Qur'an and Prophetic teachings written to sound intimate, comforting, and real. This makes the book ideal for readers seeking connection rather than commentary. Why this daily format works (a note from research)Modern psychology has repeatedly found that structured reflection, especially practices that center gratitude, meaning, and calm attention is associated with improved well-being and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression. (This book's daily reflection prompts are designed to support that same kind of steady inner grounding-while keeping the focus rooted in faith.) Before you begin. and what you may notice over time Before: your du'a feels scattered, your heart feels heavy, you overthink what Allah thinks of you, and you don't know where to start. After (with consistent reading): your inner world becomes quieter, your words become simpler, your questions become more honest, and your relationship with Allah feels more present not because life becomes perfect, but because you return to Him more easily. Inside you'll discover: A daily way to speak to Allah with sincerity, even when you feel unsure, tired, or emotionally overwhelmed.Language that helps you move from "I don't know what to say" to a clear, personal du'a-one day at a time.Twelve monthly themes that guide your heart through patience, forgiveness, worship, resilience, purpose, and closeness to Allah.Reflection prompts that help you recognize patterns like guilt, fear, numbness, and doubt-and gently redirect them toward tawakkul, hope, and steadiness.A quiet practice you can use before Fajr, before sleep, or in the moments when life feels heavy-so faith becomes something you return to, not something you only think about.And much, much more. This is not a replacement for the Qur'an or prayer. It is a companion for the heart-a reminder that Allah listens to every whisper, every doubt, and every unspoken prayer. A year from now, you may find that the questions have softened, the heart has steadied, and the re Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Misogyny across Global Media argues that, although women's experiences under misogyny are by no means universal, patriarchal social and institutional systems facilitate gender-based hostility across the globe. Contributors demonstrate how systemic misogyny and power inequities are at the root of women's suffering at the hands of misogyny, with consequences ranging from sexual harassment to rape and even murder. This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of systemic misogyny worldwide, analyzing specific cases such as the controversial Child Marriage Act in Bangladesh, sexual harassment in India's Bollywood culture, rape culture among military forces in Jammu and Kashmir, the murder of female students in Kenya, and femicide in Turkey. This collection discusses how misogyny creates a clash of cultures between men and women, the powerful and the oppressed, and the conservative and the liberal, and uncovers the evils that are perpetrated against women worldwide as a result of systemic misogyny. Scholars of gender studies, media studies, and cultural studies will find this book particularly useful.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Some forces don't announce themselves. They just slowly become the way you see.You built the career. You hit the milestones. From the outside, it looks like everything is working. And yet somewhere beneath the surface, a quieter question keeps surfacing: is this it Fourteen centuries ago, in a lamplit room in the desert city of Kufa, a young merchant asked that same question. He had visited the homes of the wealthy, sat in the courts of the powerful, met scholars whose learning filled rooms, and left each encounter with the same unsettling feeling: these people had everything, and almost none of them seemed at peace.The answer he received that night named five forces, wealth, power, knowledge, praise, and youth, that share a hidden quality. Each is genuinely good. Each is worth having. And each, left unexamined, can quietly reshape how you see the world until the life you are chasing stops being a life you would actually choose.The 5 Intoxicants brings that ancient conversation into the present. Weaving together Islamic philosophy, Stoic wisdom, and contemporary psychology, it offers a clear-eyed look at the forces that distort human judgment, and a practical path back to a life lived on purpose.In this book, you will discover: - Why achieving your goals so often produces emptiness instead of satisfaction, and what that emptiness is actually telling you- How wealth, power, and praise quietly merge with your sense of who you are, until losing them feels like losing yourself- The difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why expertise can become a cage- What the world's wisdom traditions, from Ali ibn Abi Talib to Marcus Aurelius to Seneca, understood about meaning that modern culture has forgotten- Five practices for staying clear in a world engineered to keep you distractedThis is not a book that asks you to abandon ambition, reject success, or retreat from the world. It asks something harder and more valuable: that you see clearly what is shaping your choices, and why, before another decade slips past in pursuit of a destination that keeps receding.Written with the honesty of someone who has lived through every chapter he describes, The 5 Intoxicants is for anyone who has ever reached the thing they worked years for and felt the strange quiet that followed.Stop gathering the tools. Start doing the work they were meant for.The lamp in Kufa went out fourteen centuries ago. The work it began is still waiting.…
