The Story of the Andalusis - Issa Meyer - Zaman Books

From Târiq ibn Ziyâd’s first steps on the soil of the Old Continent, in 92AH/711AD, to the last expulsions of the Moriscos, in 1023AH/1614AD, “The Story of the Andalusis” unfolds a fantastic epic of 900 years of Muslim presence in Europe through historical upheavals and reversals of fortune, conquests and exiles, triumphs and disasters. A tale of wars, clashing wills and ambitions, but also of exchanges, encounters, waves of ideas, goods and peoples, at the crossroads of civilisations, identities and continents – all this making al-Andalus an exciting human fresco, filled with great and not so great men of power, religion, pen or sword.

From its birth to its extinction, here is the story of the life and adventures of a nation that was born almost by an accident of history on the outer reaches of the West, that shaped itself not without clashes before reaching its peak under the Umayyads of Qurtubah, that came close to annihilation several times, that experienced the highs and lows of the great Berber dynasties, and then, against all odds, granted itself another quarter of a millennium of existence under the Nasrids of Granada. A nation whose cultural golden age enlightened the world with its pioneering spirit and its society of excellence – the home of urban refinement and agricultural prosperity, of knowledge bubbling and burgeoning arts and letters. And a nation, finally, that Catholic Spain tried to eradicate methodically and ruthlessly – to the point of trying to make the world forget it ever existed… Without success – for the nostalgia of al-Andalus has brilliantly survived on both sides of the Mediterranean.

The first opus in our series on the Muslims of Europe, this great historical saga also attempts to dispel the many myths that obscure the understanding of this complex era. But first and foremost, “The Story of the Andalusis” is an ode to a vanished nation – a nation of freedom-loving warriors and poets, fiercely attached to their faith and bound by a common destiny strewn with hardship.

A Short History of Islamic Syria - Issa Meyer - Zaman Books

Civil war, refugee crisis, terrorism — over the past decade, Syria, crushed beneath an absurd and ruthless tyranny, has too often made headlines for reasons unworthy of its millennia-old legacy of grandeur, refinement, and learning.

Yet this blessed land — cradle of an exquisite civilization, seat of the mightiest of the caliphates, and stage of the triumphs of more than one illustrious dynasty — holds a truly unique place in the annals of the Muslim world, and indeed, of humanity itself.

This book retraces the astonishingly rich and eventful history of Bilād al-Shām, from the Muslim conquest of the seventh century to the fall of the Assad regime — a tribute to a people of extraordinary resilience who, through the most harrowing trials, have always found the strength to rise again.

The Marvels of the Heart: Science of the Spirit - Al Ghazali - Fons Vitae

This is a classic Sufi manual on the 'science of the heart.' For Sufis, the 'heart' is more than a piece of flesh, it is the seat of the soul, and holds the key to the intimate relationship which exists between soul and body.

Each heart, according to this traditional wisdom accumulated over centuries of spiritual practice and experience, possesses four qualities: predatory, animal, demonic, and divine. The latter represents our true origin and potential, and by use of the intelligence and spiritual practices enabled by God's grace, we may restore equilibrium to our inner core. As the Koran says: 'By the remembrance of God do hearts find peace.'

Le Coran : Corde tendue entre Allah et les Hommes - Cheikh 'Abd Al-Razzaq Al-Badr -Editions Tabari

Le Coran est véritablement une «corde tendue» entre le Seigneur et les hommes, le lien qui unit le Maître des cieux aux êtres vivants de la terre. Le Saint Coran a été révélé par Allah le Très-Haut pour guider l'humanité et remplir de vertu le cœur des hommes, mais aussi pour adresser un rappel aux croyants, servir de remède contre les maladies du cœur, être une lumière et une bénédiction pour ceux qui s'attachent sincèrement à lui. Le Coran est donc le viatique du croyant. Il donne vie à son cœur et nourrit son âme, si bien qu'il ne peut y avoir de vie véritable sans le Livre d'Allah.

Chacun de nous doit donc prendre conscience que son salut terrestre et sa vie éternelle dépendent de son attachement au Livre d'Allah, de sa connaissance de ses versets et de la mise en pratique de ses enseignements.

Le lecteur comprendra donc toute l'importance de ce livre très intéressant du cheikh Abd al-Razzâq al-Badr, qu'Allah l'honore. Le seul véritable lien qu'il doit chercher à tisser est celui avec Allah, qui lui a déjà tendu Sa «corde». Saura-t-il la saisir?
