Of all the existing translation and commentaries of the Qur'an in English, 'Abdullah Yusuf 'Ali's version is perhaps the most popular and the widely read. Its chaste English prose and scholarly notes and appendices, have made it a major landmark in the Qur'anic interpretations. It has enjoyed such authority that both scholars and students have widely used this as their reference ever since it was first published in 1934. This new edition is the complete original work, printed on thin paper, and uses the Uthmani Quranic text approved by Malaysia's Qur'anic script department. Comes in a new readable format, beautifully typeset in large font sizes both Arabic and English, with footnotes and commentaries.

Are music and singing allowed in Islam? If the answer is a definite yes or no, then why has the question of its lawfulness become the subject of debate among Muslim scholars for centuries? This treatise is a translation from the eighteenth book of Imam Ghazali's Ihya Ulum al-Din. For al-Ghazali, it is important to have true knowledge to reap the benefit of music. Otherwise, one is liable to apply what they hear both to what is allowable and what is not allowable.

His homecoming from exile in 1979, and his funeral in Tehran a decade later, inspired two of the largest gatherings of people that modern history has ever seen. But behind the popular media images, who was Ayatullah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and architect of the first Islamic State of the modern era?
To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of his death, this compilation of essays by academics, journalists, commentators and seasoned observers of political Islam, seeks to reassess Imam Khomeini's life and achievement by placing it in the context of the broader Islamic movement that remains the driving force in contemporary Muslim history.

Numerous books have been written by Western scholars on the historicity of the Jesus of the Gospels. Some endorse his image in the New Testament while others accept parts of it and reject others. Muslim scholars too have contributed immensely on the subject. But contrary to their Western counterparts, they focused mainly on the Qur’an and other Islamic sources, and in most cases, dismissed the Christian image of Jesus. As such, some of these Muslim scholars too have committed the mistake of ignoring independent historical sources. This extensive work tries to fill a gap in the literature on the historical Jesus by considering simultaneously the Qur’anic account of Jesus’ life, its counterparts in the Gospels and historical sources.

The Internet has profoundly shaped how both Muslims and non-Muslims perceive Islam and how Islamic societies and networks are evolving and shifting in the twenty-first century. The Internet has transformed how many Muslims practise their duties and rituals of Islam. It has dramatically influenced forms of Islamic activism and radicalisation. Drawing on more than a decade of online research, Gary Bunt shows how social-networking sites, blogs and other "cyber-Islamic environments" have exposed Muslims to new influences outside the traditional spheres of Islamic knowledge and authority. Exploring the increasing impact of the Internet on the Muslims around the world, this book sheds new light on the nature of contemporary Islamic discourse, identity and community.

The Qur'an is not only a book of law, but also contains historical facts and is replete with names of certain nations, places and persons. Can these names be placed in the context of the present natural geography? Have they undergone any changes? Natural calamities and the human factor mean that historical changes do not keep anything constant, especially when one is referring to a subject which existed thousands of years ago. This work, first published 1936 and based on an earlier work by Sayyid Sulaiman Nadwi, aims to give a basic understanding of the places and peoples mentioned in the Qur'an.
