El Hombre que el Islam se propone construir, es uno en el cual sucedan al mismo tiempo dos actividades, una forma de actividad externa y una interna. El resultado de esta doble actividad, es que el lado espiritual de su naturaleza se desarrolla paralelamente a nu avance intelectual, sucediendo ambos procesos sin estorbarse a sí mismos. Por un lado hay un fortalecimiento de su fibre moral a traves de la cual la personalidad toma una forma permanente, y por otro lado, hay un expandimiento de sus horizontes intelectuales. cpS International centre lor peace Er spirituality GOOD WORD

Observing Islam in Spain
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004364994
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Islam in Spain has been transformed from a historical to a social matter in recent decades, attracting the attention of experts from a variety of disciplines. However, contributions to the field have been somewhat disperse. The multidisciplinary nature of the research done -mainly by specialists in Islamic Studies, Anthropology, Sociology and Law- has not been conducive to debates between specialists or to the publication of comprehensive works that recognize the wealth of views and findings. Observing Islam in Spain contains the keys to understanding current debates about the presence of Muslim citizens in Spain with regard to symbolism and public space, the law, ritual, the question of re-Islamization and the association-building and political participation of young people and women. Contributors are Marta Alonso Cabré, José María Contreras Mazarío, Khalid Ghali, Aitana Guia, Alberto López Bargados, Salvatore Madonia, Laura Mijares, Jordi Moreras, Ana I. Planet Contreras, Ángeles Ramírez, Óscar Salguero Montaño, Ariadna Solé Arraràs and Virtudes Téllez Delgado.

Religion Index Two
Shí‘ism: Imãmate & Wilãyat
Author: Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi
Publisher: Al-Ma‘ãrif Publications
ISBN: 0920675115
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Shí‘ism or Shí‘a Islam is the second largest sect of the Muslim world. The central theme of Shí‘a theology is the position, rights, and qualities that the Imams of Ahlul Bayt possess. Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi starts with a brief discussion on the origin of the Shí‘a Islamic faith, and whether it was political in nature or religious. In Chapter II, he surveys the seIf-censorship exercised by Muslim historians at early as well as modern eras, and how events related to Shí‘ism were suppressed in order to appease the rulers. Chapter III expounds on how the Orientalists have dealt with the Ghadír Khumm event: either it is ignored or if quoted, then interpreted to safeguard the interest of the majority Muslims. S.M. Rizvi also discusses the literal and contextual meaning of “mawla" which has great bearing on the issue of Imãmat and khilãfat of ‘Ali bin Abí Tãlib. Chapter IV, he surveys the current dispute on the explicitness versus implicitness of ‘Ali’s appointment to the position of imãmate and Khãlifat. This is followed by a chapter on the concept of ‘Ahlul Bayt’ in the Qur’ãn and the sunnah. Chapter VI deals with the wilãyat, the position and authority of the Imam, and its scope from the Qur’ãnic point of view. The treatise ends with a discussion on the esoteric knowledge that the Prophets and the Imams possess and its relevance to their personal life.

Religion and Law in Spain
Author: Javier Martínez-Torrón
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403500441
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient resource provides systematic information on how Spain deals with the role religion plays or can play in society, the legal status of religious communities and institutions, and the legal interaction among religion, culture, education, and media. After a general introduction describing the social and historical background, the book goes on to explain the legal framework in which religion is approached. Coverage proceeds from the principle of religious freedom through the rights and contractual obligations of religious communities; international, transnational, and regional law effects; and the legal parameters affecting the influence of religion in politics and public life. Also covered are legal positions on religion in such specific fields as church financing, labour and employment, and matrimonial and family law. A clear and comprehensive overview of relevant legislation and legal doctrine make the book an invaluable reference source and very useful guide. Succinct and practical, this book will prove to be of great value to practitioners in the myriad instances where a law-related religious interest arises in Spain. Academics and researchers will appreciate its value as a thorough but concise treatment of the legal aspects of diversity and multiculturalism in which religion plays such an important part.

La Purificación del Corazón
Author: Hamza Yusuf
Publisher: eBooks2go, Inc.
ISBN: 1618130943
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
La diferencia entre alguien cuyo corazón está purificado y sano y alguien cuyo corazón es impuro y corrupto: La gente impura oprime, y los de corazón puro no sólo perdonan a sus opresores sino que los elevan en carácter y posición. A fin de purificarnos, debemos empezar por reconocer esta verdad. De esto trata este libroes un libro de auto-purificación y un manual de liberación. Si trabajamos sobre nuestros corazones, si realmente ponemos en práctica lo que aquí se aconseja, empezaremos a ver cambios en nuestras vidas, en nuestro estado, nuestra sociedad, y hasta en la dinámica interna de nuestras familias. Es una bendición contar con esta ciencia de la purificación y que esta enseñanza exista hoy en el mundo. Lo único que necesitamos es tomar en serio estas enseñanzas. Examinemos pues lo que expone aquí este gran sabio y aprendamos acerca de las enfermedades del corazón, examinando su etiología (sus causas), sus señales y síntomas, y, finalmente, cómo tratarlas. Existen dos tipos de tratamiento: el tratamiento teórico, que es comprender la enfermedad en sí, y el tratamiento práctico, que se centra en las fórmulas que debemos aplicar a fin de restablecer la pureza natural del corazón. Si aplicamos las técnicas que han sido elaboradas y impartidas por los grandes sabios de la vasta tradición del Islam, veremos resultados. Pero como ocurre con las recetas médicas, el doctor no puede obligarte a tomar la medicina. Los eruditos expertos en la puri- ficación espiritual nos ofrecen tratamientos extraídos de las enseñanzas del Corán y del modelo ejemplar del Profeta (la paz sea con él). Las enseñanzas están ahí a nuestra disposición. Son claras y funcionan. Sólo queda, pues, que las aprendamos, las apliquemos a nosotros mismos, y las compartamos con otros.
