WOMEN IN ISLAM - CHALLENGING NARRATIVES BY ISMAIL ADAM PATEL £7.95 Many conflictive narratives exist regarding women in Islam and this subject is the cause of much criticism from the West levelled against Islam as a religion. The discrepancies between Islamic religious discourse and the practice of Muslim communities are often disregarded. Women in Islam, Challenging Narratives intends to address certain misconceptions about women in Islam and dispel some common myths. At the same time, this book also challenges the accepted narrative that women in modern Western cultures are emancipated. The chapter titled ‘Women in Islam’ provides a more accurate representation of the lofty position conferred to women within the Islamic tradition, which is often illusive in Muslim communities around the globe. A final analysis of feminist discourse scrutinises the impact of the feminist movement on setting new ideals for women that negate their roles within the family and home, and assesses whether this has created greater challenges for women in the modern era.

A HISTORY OF PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE BY DR. DAUD ABDULLAH £5.95 No other issue has engaged the energies and resources of the international community in the 20th century more than the Palestine Question. Since 1948 it has been the cause of regional wars and continues until today to be a dangerous threat to international peace and security. Despite its solid roots in the depths of history, many people know very little and understand much less about the Palestine Question. While a few are aware that Zionist Israel was founded on the basis of ‘historical’ claims, most remain, after more than 100 years, ignorant of the origins and nature of these claims. Because of its centrality to regional peace and global security, it is the duty of every student of history and peace seeking individuals to know and understand this issue. A History of Palestinian Resistance… • provides a general insight into the origins of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and its impact on the region; • offers an account of the mandatory period and the beginnings of the Zionist colonization of Palestine; • reviews the early resistance, the diplomatic intrigues and eventual UN partition; • presents a critical assessment of the role played by regional actors in the loss of Palestine in 1948 and the Nakba Catastrophe - that befell the Palestinian people; and • examines in detail the process by which the PLO was transformed from a revolutionary movement into a ‘national authority’ seeking accommodation with Israel.

THE NIGHT JOURNEY - AL ISRA’ WA AL-MI’RAJ BY ISMAIL ADAM PATEL £7.95 The Night Journey (al-Isra’) of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a journey from Makkah to Jerusalem and was followed by the Heavenly Ascent (al-Mi‘raj) which took the Prophet (PBUH) through the seven Heavens and brought him to the All Mighty Allah (SWT) the Lord of the Worlds. It was one of the most incredible events in the history of humanity and occurred at a time when the Prophet e was going through the most difficult phase in his life. The Night Journey raised many controversies which challenged Islam and questioned the faith of the believers. This book takes the reader through the incredible and fascinating voyage in a chronological order. It details the physical features of the Journey and encompasses the spiritual dimension which has significance for every believer for all time to come. This incredible journey undertaken by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the power of Allah (SWT) ensured that his faith remained unbending and enabled him to face the vast challenges to come during his Prophethood. This book will instil in the believer a greater understanding of the significance of the Night Journey, the high rank of the Prophet (PBUH) and realisation of the Greatness of Allah’s (SWT) power.

VIRTUES OF JERUSALEM - AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE BY ISMAIL ADAM PATEL £5.95 Virtues of Jerusalem is a much awaited book detailing the sacredness of Jerusalem in Islamic history, theology and future prophesies. Classical sources have been used to present a wide range of information which explains why past and present Muslims revere this blessed city. The city of al-Quds (Jerusalem) houses one of the holiest sites of Islam, the al-Haram al-Sharif (al-Aqsa Sanctuary). The precincts of al-Aqsa have been used throughout the centuries as a place for worship, residence and meditation by many Prophets and their followers. Many Qur’anic verses and the narrations of the Prophet Muhammad mention this sacred and blessed land. Al-Aqsa is also the site from which the Prophet Muhammad undertook his miraculous night journey to the heavens (al-Mi‘raj). Al-Aqsa is the first qiblah (direction of prayer), the second house of worship built on earth and the only Masjid besides Ka’ba mentioned by name in the Holy Qur’an. This book is essential reading for all Muslims and for all those who seek a better understanding of the struggle over Jerusalem today. Virtues of Jerusalem: An Islamic Perspective provides • referenced information from the Qur’an and ahadith • reflects on the historic position of Jerusalem in Islam • clarifies the Muslim attachment to Jerusalem • explains the position of Jerusalem at the end-of-time as prophesized in Islam

MADINA TO JERUSALEM - ENCOUNTERS WITH THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE BY ISMAIL ADAM PATEL ÂŁ5.95 Madina to Jerusalem: Encounters with the Byzantine Empire traces one of the most energetic and dynamic episodes in the history of Islam, that follows immediately after the passing away of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. It charts the course of Muslim history from 8-15AH/629637CE when the great expansion into al-Sham (Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon) took place. This book attempts not only to recount the military battles that led to the Muslims liberating Jerusalem from the Byzantines but also to understand the reasons why the Byzantine confederates of al-Sham abandoned their former masters for Islam. Ismail Patel attempts to address the Islamic expansion from a wider perspective with both the Muslim and non-Muslim readers in mind. It will hopefully assist the non-Muslims to shake off the prejudices created by the Orientalists and help Muslims to have a better understanding of how the first generation of Muslims challenged the superpower of the time.

DOME OF THE ROCK - QUBBAT AS-SAKHRA BY ISMAIL ADAM PATEL FREE The Dome of the Rock was completed in 691/2 and is probably the first masterpiece of Islamic art and architecture. The attention it commands due to its harmonious geometry and energetic colours easily captured within the visual field means it sussumes everything around it and mesmerises an individual. Not only has the Dome of the Rock been the centre of fascination for Sufi’s and devoted Muslims, but architects, archeologists and artists have invested their lives in understanding its structure, origin and aesthetic meanings. While its beauty has transcended people of all walks of life there has been a divergence of views about the reasons for the construction of such a fabulous and unparalleled building of its time.
