Abstract

The Repose of the Spirits is a translation of one of the earliest and most comprehensive treatises on Sufism in the Persian language. Written by Aḥmad Sam'ānī, an expert in Islamic law from a famous Central Asian scholarly family in about the year 1135, it is one of the handful of early Sufi texts available in English and is by far the most accessible. It also may well be the longest and the most accurately translated. Ostensibly a commentary on the divine names, it avoids the abstract discourse of theological nitpicking and explains the human significance of the names with a delightful mix of Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet and various past teachers, interspersed with original interpretations of the received wisdom. Unlike the usual books on the divine names (such as that of al-Ghazali), The Repose of the Spirits reminds the reader of the later poetical tradition, especially the work of Rumi. The prose is richly embroidered with imagery and interspersed with a great variety of Arabic and Persian poetry. What is especially remarkable is the manner in which the author speaks to his readers about their own personal situations, explaining why they are driven by a love affair with God, a God who is full of compassion and good humor, whether they know it or not. William C. Chittick's masterful new translation brings this work to an English-language audience for the first time.

Abstract

The endeavour to prove God's existence through rational argumentation was an integral part of classical Islamic theology (kalām) and philosophy (falsafa), thus the frequently articulated assumption in the academic literature. The Islamic discourse in question is then often compared to the discourse on arguments for God's existence in the western tradition, not only in terms of its objectives but also in terms of the arguments used: Islamic thinkers, too, put forward arguments that have been labelled as cosmological, teleological, and ontological. This book, however, argues that arguments for God's existence are absent from the theological and philosophical works of the classical Islamic era. This is not to say that the arguments encountered there are flawed arguments for God's existence. Rather, it means that the arguments under consideration serve a different purpose than to prove that God exists. Through a close reading of the works of several mutakallimūn and falāsifa from the 3rd‒7th/9th‒13th century, such as al-Bāqillānī and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī as well as Ibn Sīnā and Ibn Rushd, this book proffers a re-evaluation of the discourse in question, and it suggests what its participants sought to prove if it is not that God exists.

Abstract

Early Christian-Muslim Debate on the Unity of God examines the writings of three of the earliest known Christian theologians to write comprehensive theological works in Arabic. Theodore Abū Qurra, Abū Rā’iṭa and ‘Ammār al-Baṣrī provide valuable insight into early Christian-Muslim debate shortly after the rise of the Islamic empire. Through close examination of their writings on the doctrine of the Trinity, Sara Husseini demonstrates the creativity of these theologians, who make use of language, style and argumentation characteristic of Islamic theological thought (kalām), in order to help articulate their long-established religious truths. Husseini offers close analysis of the authors individually and comparatively, exploring their engagement with Islamic theology and their role in this fascinating period.

Abstract

Herken je di t? Je zit op een verjaardag en vraagt aan een kennis "Hoe gaat het op je werk ?" Na een eerste schoorvoetend "Best wel goed", komt het verhaal op gang en gaat het al snel over waarom collega"s toch altijd zo moeilijk doen. "Die zijn alleen maar met hun eigen ding bezig en samenwerken, ho maar". "Dat andere team houdt echt geen rekening met ons, terwijl we toch afhankelijk van elkaar zijn".De wereld is zo complex geworden, dat het bijna onmogelijk is om iets helemaal alleen tot stand te brengen. We hebben voortdurend de hulp van anderen nodig om ons doel te realiseren. Dat betekent samenwerken. Toch schiet dat er om allerlei redenen vaak bij in, onder andere omdat de druk om resultaten te behalen erg groot is. Dat moet en dat kan anders. Want "samen" leidt tot verrassende resultaten!In dit boek laten Guus Scholten, Chris Kempen en Wijnand van Lieshout zien hoe dat anders kan. Zij vertellen hoe je door bewuste samenwerking met jezelf, de omgeving en anderen het verschil kunt maken. Hoe je met de "kristallen van samenwerken" in Deel III een andere dimensie in je denken opent. Hoe je met nieuwe mogelijkheden en simpele oplossingen de bereidheid tot samenwerking kunt vergroten.Dit is een boek van ervaringen en verhalen over succes en falen (Deel I) en over hoe samenwerken in de praktijk werkt (Deel II). Aan het eind van het boek (Deel III) vind je de bouwstenen om de eigen samenwerking vorm te geven; de bouwstenen noemen we de "kristallen van samenwerken": twaalf actieve handelingen om de samenwerking te verbeteren. Een mindmap met facetten van samenwerken, gekoppeld aan genummerde passages vind je achteraan in het boek en in de achterflap.Ook al is het een boek vol met verhalen, je hoeft het boek niet per se integraal te lezen. Je kunt willekeurig ergens beginnen en de rijke informatie tot je nemen. Het boek biedt handvatten en oplossingen voor organisaties, coaches, managers en leidinggevenden, maar ook voor elk andere geinteresseerde. Het boek geeft aan iedereen duidelijke inzichten in de processen van samenwerken, hoe samenwerken in de praktijk werkt. Dit inzicht helpt om samenwerken naar een hoger plan te tillen.

Abstract

Kernel of the Kernel is an authoritative work on Sufism from a Shi'i perspective that is not only fascinating, but also contains much practical advice. In addition to providing a theoretical discussion of spiritual wayfaring, it is also the account of a personal fifty-year spiritual journey by Sayyid Muḥammad Ḥusayn Ṭabāṭabā'ī, a renowned Iranian-Shii scholar and spiritual master. In Kernel of the Kernel, Ṭabāṭabā'ī discusses the doctrinal foundations of spiritual wayfaring as well as processes and stages that an aspiring wayfarer must go through in order to attain spiritual realization. He discusses the relation between the exoteric and esoteric aspects of Islam and clearly demonstrates that these inward and outward dimensions of Islam complement each other. The book also provides information on the Quranic origins of Sufism and its special relations with Shi'ism as well as the role of Shi'i Imams in the spiritual realization of a sincere wayfarer.

Abstract

More than any other issue in Islamic theology, anthropomorphism (tashbih) stood at the heart of many theological debates, and was mostly discussed within the circles of traditionalist Islam. The way a scholar interpreted the anthropomorphic descriptions of God in the Qur'an or the Hadith (for instance, God's hand, God's laughter or God's sitting on the heavenly throne) often reflected his political and social stature, as well as his theological affinity.
