**THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER, APRIL 2017**

Matt Coyne has become a hero for thousands of parents everywhere who are devoted followers of his popular blog, Man vs Baby.
This is his book, and it is not your average parenting tome.

But, more than that, it is the story of how becoming a parent is a kind of beautiful insanity – a thing that changes you.
Above all, Dummy will keep you laughing through the exhaustion, the mystery and the madness of bringing up your own children.

Rats: The Essential Guide to Ownership, Care, & Training for Your Pet
What pet can play fetch, learn its name, and still ride around in your pocket? It’s a rat, of course, and if you’re surprised by this, you should take some time to learn more about these delightful animals. Though wild rats have earned a bad rap for spreading illness and disease, domestic rats are clean and friendly animals that can be loving and wonderful additions to any family. If you have children that want pets but you’re not ready for a dog, a pet rat may be a great compromise. These little critters are fabulous pets for kids, requiring relatively simple care that even grade school children can understand and handle. They’re adaptable, affectionate, and tons of fun to watch and play with. With a life-span up to 5 years, your child can have a long relationship with her animals. Rats make great adult companions too, of course. Their minimal space requirements make them ideal for apartment dwellers, and their self-sufficiency and flexible sleeping habits mean they’ll adapt readily to even busy schedules. When they’re cared for properly, rats aren’t prone to many illnesses or health issues, and they’re affordable both up-front and in the long-term. Most of the challenges in rat care are caused by the animal’s remarkable intelligence. The information in this book will teach you how to properly house these notorious escape artists. You’ll also learn about the proper nutrition and care to keep your rats healthy in the long term, and how to identify and fix problems if they do come up. Introductions to breeding, showing, and training your animals are also included, if you want to take your rat ownership to the next level. Cuddly, smart, and entertaining, a pet rat combines the low time commitment of a small animal with the affection of a dog—and you may just find it’s the perfect pet for you.Read more

Letting Photos Speak: Visio Divina and Other Approaches to Contemplative Photography
An indispensable companion that will help you unlock the transformative potential of your images
- Contemplative photography can enrich our spiritual lives, mental health and wellbeing
- This simple introduction to vision divina is accessible to all
- Within the book itself, you will be able to construct your own illustrated book of prayer and reflection
Letting Photos Speak is for anyone who takes photos, on standard cameras or smartphones, and who wants to explore personal meaning and well-being through their pictures. The book, designed for readers of all faiths and none, begins by exploring some of the common ground between Christian contemplation and mindfulness and the effects that photography can have on wellbeing. It outlines some ways of exploring meanings in photos, ranging from theological reflection to visio divina, and considers how photography can function as a place of unrushed reflection or contemplation, involving the mind, emotions and body. Drawing on the authors’ experience of utilising photography in churches, leading retreats and running workshops, the book includes a number of practical exercises to ‘let photos speak’ and help readers connect with themselves, others, nature, and God. The book also offers some practical examples of how images can speak effectively in group contexts, such as workshops and alternative styles of worship. At the end, readers are invited to draw together their reflections in a personal photo journal, inspired by the ancient practice of keeping a ‘Book of Hours’, using reflective prompts and innovative bookmark overlays.

Islam and the Problems of the Youth (Pinnacle Papers by Imam Muhammad Said Ramadan al-Buti)
The problems of the youth are not problems that are connected to them insomuch as they are problems of the community that they live in.
Sticking them to the youth is to accuse the innocent and to exonerate the guilty. To charge them with the responsibility of rising above these problems while their communities remain as they are is a very strange kind of futile behaviour.
How can that be, and what is the solution?

Women and the Fatimids in the World of Islam
This first full-length study of women and the Fatimids is a groundbreaking work investigating an unexplored area in the field of Islamic and medieval studies. The authors have unearthed a wealth of references to women, thus re-inscribing their role in the history of one of the most fascinating Islamic dynasties, the only one to be named after a woman. At last some light is thrown on the erstwhile silent and shadowy figures of women under the Fatimids which gives them a presence in the history of women in medieval and pre-modern dynasties. Basing their research on a variety of sources from historical works to chronicles, official correspondence, documentary sources and archaeological findings, the authors have provided a richly informative analysis of the status and influence of women in this period. Their contribution is explored first within the context of Isma’ili and Fatimid genealogical history, and then within the courts in their roles as mothers, courtesans, wives and daughters, and as workers and servants. Throughout the book comparison is drawn with the status and roles of women in earlier, contemporary and subsequent Islamic as well as non-Islamic courts.Read more

Conciliation in the Qurʾan: The Qurʾanic Ethics of Conflict Resolution: 9 (Islam – Thought, Culture, and Society, 9)
Conciliation in the Qurʾan addresses an existing imbalanced focus in Islamic Studies on conflict in the Qurʾan, and moves beyond a restrictive approach to á¹£ulḥ (reconciliation) as a mediation process in fragmented social contexts. The book offers a critical analysis of conciliation as a holistic concept in the Qurʾan, providing linguistic and structural insight based on the renowned pre-modern Arabic exegesis of Al-RÄzÄ« (d. 1209) and the under-studied contemporary Urdu exegesis of Iá¹£lÄḥī (d. 1997). This ambitious thematic study of the entire Qurʾan includes an innovative examination of the central ethical notion of iḥsÄn (gracious conduct), and a challenging discussion of notorious passages relating to conflict. The author offers solutions to unresolved issues such as the significance of the notion of iá¹£lÄḥ (order), the relationship between conciliation and justice, and the structural and thematic significance of Q.48 (SÅ«rat Al-Fatḥ) and Q.49 (SÅ«rat Al-ḤujurÄt). Conciliation in the Qurʾan offers a compelling argument for the prevalence of conciliation in the Islamic scripture, and will be an essential read for practitioners in Islamic studies, community integration, conflict-resolution, interfaith dialogue and social justice.Read more

Islam in a Zongo: Muslim Lifeworlds in Asante, Ghana: 62 (The International African Library, Series Number 62)
Zongos, wards in West Africa populated by traders and migrants from the northern savannahs and the Sahel, are a common sight in Ghana’s Asante region where the people of these wards represent a dual-minority as both foreigners and Muslims in a largely Christian area, facing marginalisation as a result. Islam provides the people of the zongos with a common ground and shared values, becoming central to their identity and to their shared sense of community. This detailed account of Islamic lifeworlds highlights the irreducible diversity and complexity of ‘everyday’ lived religion among Muslims in a zongo community. Benedikt Pontzen traces the history of Muslim presence in the region and analyses three Islamic phenomena encountered in its zongos in detail: Islamic prayer practices, the authorisation of Islamic knowledge, and ardently contested divination and healing practices. Drawing on empirical and archival research, oral histories, and academic studies, he demonstrates how Islam is inextricably bound up with the diverse ways in which Muslims live it.Read more

Islam and the Bible: Questioning Muslim Idiom Translations
Christians living and ministering in Muslim contexts, even as early as the 7th century, have always adapted their language and public witness to cultural and religious sensibilities of their audience. As theologians, missiologists, and practitioners seek to think carefully about issues surrounding such contextualization, one of the most important considerations concerns the translation of terms and phrases, such as “Son of God” or whether to use “Allah” to refer to God. This project aims to bring together leading voices in the discussion, representing a spectrum of approaches, to explore the issues surrounding “Muslim Idiom Translation.” It will also uniquely consider the voices of practitioners of ministry to Muslims and Bible translation, as well as cultural natives to Islamic contexts.Read more

Islam and the Institution of Marriage: Legal and Sociological Approaches
Islam and the Institution of Marriage: Legal and Sociological Approaches is a study of Muslim marriage in modernity. The question of marriage and intimate relationships is an important site of internal contestation, as the collection demonstrates. It demands both fidelity to the tradition and its historical modes of thought and relevance to contemporary conditions. The collection of essays that make up the study engages these important and difficult questions from the perspectives of two different types of scholarship: fiqh and social science. While fiqh practitioners work with the source texts to derive new interpretations, to authorise rethinking, and thereby to create spaces of possibility for practices to change, social scientists study practices of Islam. The contributors to this volume examine challenges to fiqh posed by the contemporary by critically analysing the practices and resources available to Muslims in a range of national and historical contexts. These critical approaches will enable a wide readership to understand how Muslims engage with the assumptions and epistemologies that underpin marriage and relationships in contemporary Islamic contexts.Read more

Islam: What Non-Muslims Should Know
Recent events have focused attention on Islam, the often- misunderstood faith of one billion people. Westerners are showing a new curiosity about Islam and other religions, in part, perhaps, because religion is arguably the single most important and volatile factor in geopolitics today. Islam needs to be understood on its own terms, apart from extreme expressions, John Kaltner argues. This revised and expanded edition of a trusted text offers updated information about Islam in an accessible and sympathetic presentation. Kaltner presents Islam as first and foremost a religion of practices. Showing the deep humanism of Islam and its most cherished commitments, Kaltner presents Islam through assertions that counter frequent misconceptions of the faith.Read more

Beyond Bilal: Black Muslims in the East
In Beyond Bilal: Black History in Islam, aside from Black history in the Qur’an and the black companions of the Prophet ﷺ we focused on the History of Islam in West Africa and the role Black Muslims played in the West. In this second volume, based on Mustafa Briggs lectures “Africans in Asia” and “Black History in the Arab World,” we will move eastward and explore the little discussed relationship between Africa and Asia and the Middle East.
We will first look at Black History in the Arabian Peninsula, discovering the history of the legendary black heroes of pre-Islamic Arabia, who were some of the most well known poets, warriors, explorers and conquerors of Arabia. We will then explore the brilliant black intellectuals and revolutionaries who impacted the Islamic Empires of the Middle Ages, including the first Muftis of Makkah, Egypt and Syria, as well as some of the key narrators of hadith and early scholars in the Islamic Tradition.
We will also delve into the spread of Islam in East Africa; from Sudan and Somalia all the way down to the Swahili Coast, and the stories of mighty kingdoms in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh that were ruled and shaped by East African kings, saints, and adventurers, the communities they developed, and the impact that their legacies have left on the region until the modern day.

The Preaching of Islam: A History of the Propagation of the Muslim Faith (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Preaching of Islam: A History of the Propagation of the Muslim FaithIt is with considerable diffidence that I publish these pages: the subject with which they deal is so vast, and I have had to prosecute it under circumstances so disadvantageous, that I can hope but for small measure of success. When I may be better equipped for the task, and after further study has enabled me to fill up the gaps left in the present work, I hope to make it a more worthy contribution to this neglected department of Muhammadan history; and to this end I shall be deeply grateful for the criticisms and corrections of any scholars who may deign to notice the book. To such I would say in the words of St. Augustine: “Qui hsec legens dicit, intelligo quidem quid dictum sit, sed non vere dictum est; asserat ut placet sententiam suam, et redarguat meam, si potest. Quod si cum caritate et veritate fecerit, mihique etiam (si in hac vita maneo) cognoscendum facere curaverit, uberrimum fructum laboris huius mei cepero.”
As I can neither claim to be an authority nor a specialist on any of the periods of history dealt with in this book, and as many of the events referred to therein have become matter for controversy, I have given full references to the sources consulted; and here I have thought it better to err on the side of excess rather than that of defect.

Islam and Anarchism: Relationships and Resonances
Discourse around Muslims and Islam all too often lapses into a false dichotomy of Orientalist and fundamentalist tropes. A popular reimagining of Islam is urgently needed. Yet it is a perhaps unexpected political philosophical tradition that has the most to offer in this pursuit: anarchism. Islam and Anarchism is a highly original and interdisciplinary work, which simultaneously disrupts two commonly held beliefs – that Islam is necessarily authoritarian and capitalist; and that anarchism is necessarily anti-religious and anti-spiritual. Deeply rooted in key Islamic concepts and textual sources, and drawing on radical Indigenous, Islamic anarchistic and social movement discourses, Abdou proposes ‘Anarcha-Islam’. Constructing a decolonial, non-authoritarian and non-capitalist Islamic anarchism, Islam and Anarchism philosophically and theologically challenges the classist, sexist, racist, ageist, queerphobic and ableist inequalities in both post- and neo-colonial societies like Egypt, and settler-colonial societies such as Canada and the USA.Read more

The concept of Education in Islam: A Framework for an Islamic Philosophy of Education
This book, originally presented as a paper to the Second World Conference on Muslim Education in 1980, for the first time in contemporary Islamic thinking and in a clear and coherent manner, elaborates new and originally conceived ideas and definitions. Key concepts such as religion (din), man (insan), knowledge (ma’rifah and `ilm), wisdom (hikmah), justice (`adl), right action (`amal and adab) are discussed, elaborated and formulated into a framework for an Islamic philosophy of education. The concept of methodology of scientific research and the study of nature along the lines of Quranic interpretation (tafsir and ta’wil), the islamization of languages and its relation to the Muslim mind and worldview, and the differences between tarbiyyah, ta’dib and ta’lim are all discussed. This is a book of definitions relating to the essential elements in the concept of education and the educational process as envisaged in Islam. Essential reading for Muslim educators and all those interested in Islamic philosophy and islamization of knowledge

THE EXPLANATION OF THE NULLIFIERS OF ISLAM
My brother; this is a study of a valuable treatise by the Imaam, the rectifier, the reviver, Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhaab—may Allaah have mercy upon him and forgive him—entitled: “The Nullifiers of Al-Islaam”. He, may Allaah have mercy upon him, wrote it advising and warning; because just as the Muslim is required to know the truth and guidance in order that he may love it and traverse upon it, he is also required to know falsehood and misguidance in order that he may hate it and avoid it. Allaah, the Glorified and High, has clarified within the Qur’aan the path of the believers as well as the path of the criminals; the actions of the believers and the actions of the criminals and the qualities of each as well as the end result of each. He also clarified that which he has prepared for the believers from abundant reward and that which he has prepared for the criminals from painful punishment.Read more

Islam and God-Centricity: Discovering God: 5
Islam and God-Centricity: Discovering God is the fifth volume in a multi-volume series. This volume explores the notions of ‘form’ and ‘essence’ with respect to the human individual itself: What is the form of the individual? What is its essence? What is the true identity of the individual? The purpose of Islam is to surrender to God absolutely and thereby realise His Presence. God is All-pervading, and hence He is closer to the individual than they are to their own mind and body. It is because of this Truth that the blessed Prophet stated that to know one’s soul is to know one’s Lord. This book is an examination of the human individual, that is, the soul, its consciousness, mind, and body, and the factors that prevent the realisation of God’s Presence. It identifies and designates the cause of the ignorance of one’s soul, and hence all its ensuing effects, as the soul’s consciousness “I am the body”, which in Arabic is nafs ammāra. In this context, the devotional practices of Islam are also explored. The book presents the age-old notions of spirituality from an existential perspective, and hence in its own language and terminology.Read more

The Lifespan Of Islam On Earth: How Much Time Does Islam Have Left On Earth
In more than 15 ahadith found in the Sahih of Imam Bukhari, Sunnan of Imam Abu Dawwud, Jamii of Imam Tirmidhi and others, the prophet (saws) said Islam has a specific lifespan on earth, these Ahadith state Allah gave Islam 1500 years then relatively soon after this He would establish the Hour, we are now in the year 1438 H of the Islamic calendar, this book quotes these Ahadith and discusses them giving specific years for when events are expected to occur according to the prophet Muhammad (saws). Because we can place all the ahadtih of events on a timeline, since the prophet (saws) spoke consistently about events from his time to ours on a year by year or decade by decade basis, we can place names and years for when the events occur, which all leads to one question when will the end come. For muslims there are two “ends” they are waiting for in life, the hour itself and the end of Islam on earth before that time when Allah will take the life of every muslim and lift the Quran from the face of the earth. This book will present not just the ahadith that speak about the lifespan of Islam, but the ahadith in which the prophet (saws) gave a timeline for events in years, such as Imam Mahdi (ra) ruling for 9 years or Isa (as) remaining on earth for 40 years after He (saws) returns, this book will show that both types of Ahadith say the exact same thing about how much time Islam has left.Read more

Islam in Liberalism
“Demonstrates that Western liberal ‘democracy’, portrayed as foreign to ‘Islam’, necessarily serves an imperial project. . . . timely and controversial.” —Politics, Religion & IdeologyIslam is often associated with words like oppression, totalitarianism, intolerance, cruelty, misogyny, and homophobia, while its presumed antonyms are Christianity, the West, liberalism, individualism, freedom, citizenship, and democracy. In the most alarmist views, the West’s most cherished values—freedom, equality, and tolerance—are said to be endangered by Islam worldwide.
Joseph Massad’s Islam in Liberalism explores what Islam has become in today’s world. He seeks to understand how anxieties about tyranny, intolerance, misogyny, and homophobia, seen in the politics of the Middle East, are projected onto Islam itself. Massad shows that through this projection Europe emerges as democratic and tolerant, feminist, and pro-LGBT rights—or, in short, Islam-free. Massad documents the Christian and liberal idea that we should missionize democracy, women’s rights, sexual rights, tolerance, equality, and even therapies to cure Muslims of their un-European, un-Christian, and illiberal ways. Along the way he sheds light on a variety of controversial topics, including the meanings of democracy—and the ideological assumption that Islam is not compatible with it while Christianity is. Islam in Liberalism is an unflinching critique of Western assumptions and of the liberalism that Europe and America present as salvation to Islam.
“Essential reading for all scholars of Islam and Middle East politics.” —Cambridge Review of International Affairs
“Reminds us that in order to move beyond scholarship revolving around a simplistic binarism between West and non-West, we must never forget how this opposition has shaped and continues to actively influence scholarship today.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

Islam and the Age of Unreason: An Analysis of Intellectual Suicide
The problem in traditional Islam is that it is “traditional,” grounded in tradition rather than revelation, based on the way Muslims practiced Islam rather than on the way they were expected to practice it. For how Muslims practice Islam was not always the way it was intended to be practiced by Allah. Muslims drifted from the Book of Allah to follow the books of traditions. “When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that Allah has sent down, they say: “Nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following). “What! even if it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing) Fire.” [1]
There is a chasm between a rule and its practice, between appearance and reality, between the “normative” Islam of the Book of Allah, as Fazlur Rahman put it, and the “historical” Islam of tradition. By treating tradition as “revelation,” traditionists paved the way for tradition to become a “second” revelation (tanzil). The concept of dual revelation paved the way for the emergence of the concept of dual legislation. This is why reformers support the desacralisation of tradition. “The Indonesian reformer Nurcholish Madjid has referred to this phenomenon as the “sacralization” of tradition in Islam and called for a “de-sacralization” of tradition. However, he does not reject the importance of tradition but the notion of a fixed, static tradition, arguing that tradition and consensus or ijma are ongoing and cumulative.” [2] Islam is an Abrahamic faith. The Book of Allah refers to the Jewish prophets as well as Jesus. The Book of Allah presents itself as a reiteration of the previous revelations, known as the Bible. Traditional preachers highlight differences between the Book of Allah and the Tawrat and the Injeel. Thereby they widen the gap between different faiths. These assertions fail to do justice to the universality of Islam. The Book of Allah emphasizes its parallels with the previous revelations. The UAE established the Family of Abrahamic Faiths centre. The Book of Allah does not engage in “Bible bashing,” as a few traditional preachers do, endeavouring to showcase the “superiority” of the Book of Allah in relation to the Bible. The Book of Allah does not “abrogate” the preceding revelations, as exegetes with a penchant for a parochial perspective assert. The Book of Allah reiterates the previous revelations and clarifies misconceptions regarding them. For these revelations were misrepresented. Jesus is treated as greater than a prophet. This is tantamount to attributing a “partner” to Allah, which defies tauhid. The Book of Allah exhorts us to refrain from shirk. Associating “partners” with Allah is the worst transgression. The Book of Allah rejects associating with Allah what He gave no authority for: “Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.” [3] “God will not forgive Shirk (choosing ‘authorities’ besides Him), though He may forgive other transgressions according to His law of forgiveness. Whoever commits Shirk, has strayed far, far away.” [4]
“Set up no god or ‘authority’ along with God. I am a plain warner to you from Him.” [5]
