Indeed, Islamic science, whether religious, moral or natural is essentially a quest to discover the order underlying the variegated world of multiplicity. The work of al-Shahid Dr. Ismail Raji al-Faruqi on the subject of tawhid entitled Al-Tawhid: Its Implications for Thought and Life thus affords the reader to not only a look on the axial doctrine of Islam but also allows the reader to understand that doctrine from a number of different perspectives.]]> http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/reviews/synopsis-of-al-tawhid-its-implications-for-thought-and-life/feed/ 2 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/reviews/review-of-islam-and-other-faiths-by-ismail-raji-al-faruqi/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/reviews/review-of-islam-and-other-faiths-by-ismail-raji-al-faruqi/#comments Mon, 22 Jan 2007 13:07:55 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/2007/01/22/review-of-islam-and-other-faiths-by-ismail-raji-al-faruqi/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/reviews/review-of-islam-and-other-faiths-by-ismail-raji-al-faruqi/feed/ 1 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/reviews/review-of-islam-and-the-problem-of-israel/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/reviews/review-of-islam-and-the-problem-of-israel/#comments Sun, 21 Jan 2007 09:27:48 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/2007/01/21/review-of-islam-and-the-problem-of-israel/ Islam and the Problem of Israel is a succinct and thoughtfully organised reader. The author, though Palestinian himself, offers a reasonably fair appraisal of the issue at hand from a Muslim’s perspective. Some readers might find the strong vocabulary makes the read challenging, and this may sometimes be burdensome. The topic is approached in an organised and sequential manner. The historical, religious and political perspectives of the state of Israel are described before the relationship between Israel, Judaism, Zionism (all quite distinct entities) and Islam is discussed. The author briefly clarifies the distinction between Judaism as a religion, Zionism as a political concept of statehood (for a given race), Israel as nation-state, and the Jews as a race. He describes the problem as three-cornered, involving the Muslim world, Western Christendom, and the Jews.]]> http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/reviews/review-of-islam-and-the-problem-of-israel/feed/ 0
