Book Description
When composer A.R. Rahman's first film Roja was released in 1992, his astonishing music with its other-worldly melodies, tonal texture, pulsating rhythms made an instant impact in India. His abundantly flowing talent has given life to the scores of over a hundred films, including Dil Se, Bombay, Lagaan, Warriors of Heaven and Earth, 127 Hours and Jodhaa Akbar. According to a recent estimate by the BBC, 150 million copies of his albums have sold worldwide. A.R. Rahman has won a host of awards, together with a Golden Globe, a Bafta, two Oscars and two Grammys for his score in Slumdog Millionaire. In 2010, he received the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian honour, awarded by the Government of India. Despite all his great success, Rahman remains a deeply private person, shying away from the glitz and glamour of show business. A.R. Rahman: The Spirit of Music is in the form of biographical conversations between the composer and Nasreen Munni Kabir in which we hear of Rahman's amazing journey from modest beginnings to an assured place in world music history.

Book Description
About The Book This book reviews different forms of human creation mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. It is divided into 4 main chapters: - Chapter I describes the creation of a human being without male and female (Adam), and the creation of a human being from male without female (Eve). - Chapter II describes the creation of a human being from female without male (The Messiah Jesus son of Mary). - Chapter III describes the usual, traditional embryonic events of all the human beings. - Chapter IV emphasizes some of God's signs in man, e.g.: The finger prints, the forehead, and other verses announcing the miracles of God Almighty, with achieving great benefits from contemplating them. The subjects were intentionally approached balancing between reviewing scientific facts and linguistic religious interpretations, in an easy simple way, without excessive summarization or complex boring extravagance, supported by illustrations and photographs as much as possible, hoping that it will benefit both professional and public readers alike.

Book Description
The Qur'an should be recited daily so that in short spaces of time entire recitations are completed. This is something that many are punctual with in Ramadan, however, it is not something that is exclusive to that month. It's blessings transcend to every instance in our lives. To facilitate this, a table has been included at the end of this book which we can use to encourage and remind ourselves of this manner of pleasing Allah Ta'ala. Either we can tick a day when we reach a specific goal of verses/pages each day, or we can insert a number (to represent verses/pages) if our daily timetables are unpredictable or inconstant. In this manner we can still try to read a fixed number of pages per day One should try to aim for a Juz (Parah) a day. If one is trying to create a habit and this is too much, start smaller, e.g. a few pages. With the gradual build up of speed and comfort in reading, one will be able to set this or even higher goals. One should also try and read the Qur'an with a reputable translation at hand so one can reflect upon the meaning of what is recited. This is why the translation has also been included in this publication (and also our other Publications). With this addition we hope that our recitation of the Qur'an will rise above a repetition of unknown words, and progress to giving audience to the Words of Allah Ta'ala, and taking the commands and advices of Allah Ta'ala to heart. The chapters of the Qur'an presented in this book are those which should be recited daily. If one is not able to recite so much comfortably, then one should start with one or even part of one of these Surahs daily. The specific benefits for reciting each of these chapters are mentioned under their separate headings.

Book Description
An award-winning novelist’s vibrant portrayal of the struggle to create a more unified society in medieval Egypt and how this has shaped Egypt today. Brimming with intrigue, adventure, and romance, Al-Qata’i: Ibn Tulun’s City Without Walls tells the epic story of visionary Egyptian leader Ahmad Ibn Tulun who built Al-Qata’i (now Cairo) into a thriving multicultural empire. The novel begins with the rediscovery of the Ibn Tulun Mosque in 1918 and recounts Ibn Tulun’s life and legacy in the ninth and tenth centuries. Bassiouney presents Ibn Tulun’s benevolent vision to unify all Egyptians in a new city, Al-Qata’i. He becomes so focused on his vision, however, that he cannot see the impact it has on his family or the fate of Egypt. When a betrayal leads to his demise, the rival Abbasid caliph threatens to regain control of Al-Qata’i. In the aftermath of Ibn Tulun’s death, his daughter Aisha emerges as a pivotal figure, bravely taking a stand against the Abbasids to preserve her life, the city, and the iconic mosque. This contemporary Egyptian writer forces us to consider universal themes, such as diversity and equality, through both a historical and intercultural lens that enriches our understanding of these issues in our world today.
