Product Description
Shaikh Muhammad al-Tahir ibn Ashur is the most renowned Zaytuna Imam and one of the great Islamic scholars of the 20th century. The publication of this translation of Shaikh Ibn Ashur s Treatise on Maqasid al-Shari ah is a breakthrough in studies on Islamic law in the English language. In this book, Ibn Ashur proposed Maqasid as a methodology for the renewal of the theory of Islamic law, which has not undergone any serious development since the era of the great imams. Ibn Ashur quite courageously also addressed the sensitive topic of the intents/Maqasid of Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) behind his actions and decisions. He introduced criteria to differentiate between the Prophetic traditions that were meant to be part of Islamic law and the Prophetic actions/ sayings that were meant to be for the sake of specific purposes such as political leadership, court judgment, friendly advice, and conflict resolution. But Ibn Ashur s most significant contribution in this book has been the development of new Maqasid by coining new, contemporary, terminology that were never formulated in traditional usul al-fiqh. For example, Ibn Ashur developed the theory of thepreservation of lineageintothe preservation of the family system , theprotection of true beliefintofreedom of beliefs , etc. He also introduced the concepts oforderliness ,natural disposition ,freedom ,rights ,civility , andequalityas Maqasid in their own right, and upon which the whole Islamic law is based. This development opens great opportunities for Islamic law to address current and real challenges for Muslim societies and Muslim minorities. ... Read more

Product Description
Toorawa re-evaluates the literary history and landscape of  third to ninth century Baghdad by demonstrating and emphasizing the significance of the important transition from a predominantly oral-aural culture to an increasingly literate one. This transformation had a profound influence on the production of learned and literary culture; modes of transmission of learning; nature and types of literary production; nature of scholarly and professional occupations and alliances; and ranges of meanings of certain key concepts, such as plagiarism. In order to better understand these, attention is focused on a central but understudied figure, Ibn Abi Tahir Tayfur (d. 280 to 893), a writer, schoolmaster, scholar and copyist, member of important literary circles, and a significant anthologist and chronicler. This book will appeal to anyone interested in Arabic literary culture and history, and those with an interest in books, writing, authorship and patronage. ... Read more

Extrait : Otton III (ou Othon III) est né en juin ou juillet 980 dans la forêt royale de Kessel (Ketil), près de Clèves, et est mort le 23 ou 24 janvier 1002 à Paterno (Latium), sur le mont Soracte, en Italie. Prince de la lignée ottonienne, il est roi des Romains à partir de 983 et empereur germanique de 996 à 1002. Après la mort de son père Otton II survenue le 7 décembre 983, il est couronné roi des Romains le 25 décembre 983 à Aix-la-Chapelle, à l'âge de trois ans. Le prince Henri le Querelleur l'enlève alors et tente de se faire attribuer sa tutelle. Mais l'archevêque de Mayence Willigis, soutenu par d'autres grands, condamne cette usurpation et impose la régence de sa mère, la princesse byzantine Théophano. Après le décès de celle-ci, en 991, c'est Adélaïde, grand-mère de l'empereur, qui assure sa tutelle. En 995, Otton est majeur et prend officiellement le pouvoir ; il rêve de fonder un empire universel qui réunirait d'abord tous les peuples chrétiens d'Occident. Il intervient dans les affaires de l'Église et impose contre l'avis des cités rebelles de la péninsule italienne ses propres candidats au trône papal. Il y fait ainsi placer son homme de confiance, par ailleurs son cousin, Brunon de Carinthie, premier pape d'origine germanique, sous le nom de Grégoire V. Couronné empereur par ce dernier le 21 mai 996, Otton installe sa cour à Rome : sous son règne, l'Italie redevient le siège du gouvernement impérial. Ave...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: JapaneseBuddhism Portrait of Saich (Ichij-ji owning)Saich ) (767822) was a Japanese Buddhist monk credited with founding the Tendai school in Japan, based around the Chinese Tiantai tradition he was exposed to during his trip to China beginning in 804. He founded the temple and headquarters of Tendai at Enryakuji on Mt. Hiei near Kyoto. He is also said to have been the first to bring tea to Japan. After his death, he was awarded the posthumous title of Dengy Daishi (). "Saicho was born into a family of devout Buddhists. At the age of twelve he went to study at the provincial temple in Omi. There he studied under Gyohyo (722-797), a disciple of Tao-hsiian (702-760), the Chinese monk who had brought Northern School Ch'an, Kegon (Chin., Hua-yen) teachings, and the Fan wang precepts to Japan in 736. Saicho's studies of meditation and Kegon "one-vehicle" (Skt., ekayana; Jpn., ichijo) doctrines during this period influenced his lifelong doctrinal predilections. Shortly after he was ordained in 785, he Decided to climb Mount Hiei. He remained there for approximately a decade to meditate and study. During his retreat, Saicho read about Chinese T'ien-t'ai meditation practice in Kegon texts and managed to obtain several T'ient'ai texts that had been brought to Japan by Chien-chen (Ganjin, 688-763) in 754 but had subsequently been ignored by Japanese monks." The capital of Japan was moved from Nara to Nagaoka in 784, and then to Kyoto in 795. Mount Hiei was located to the northeast of Kyoto, a direction considered dangerous by geomancers, but Saicho's presence on the mountain protected t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=459890 ...

Extrait : Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Haytham (Perse:ابن هیثم ,arabe : ابو علي، الحسن بن الحسن بن الهيثم) dit Alhazen (Bassorah 965 - Le Caire 1039) est un mathématicien, un philosophe et un physicien arabe ou persan de confession musulmane. Il est l'un des pères de la physique quantitative et de l'optique physiologique. Alhazen est né en 965 à Bassorah dans l'actuel Irak où il reçut une éducation qu'il compléta cependant dans la ville de Bagdad. À l'époque, Bassorah était sous le contrôle de la dynastie des Buwayhides qui régnèrent sur la Perse. C'est pourquoi il est parfois mentionné sous le nom d'al-Basri. Bien que cette version ne soit pas acceptée par tous, la plupart des gens s'entendent pour dire qu'il est décédé au Caire en Égypte en 1039. Alhazen commença sa carrière de scientifique dans sa ville natale de Bassorah. Il fut cependant convoqué par le calife Hakim qui voulait maîtriser les inondations du Nil qui frappaient l'Égypte année après année. Après avoir mené une expédition en plein désert pour remonter jusqu'à la source du fameux fleuve, Alhazen se rendit compte que ce projet était pratiquement impossible. De retour au Caire, il craignait que le calife qui était furieux de son échec ne se vengeât et décida donc de feindre la folie. Le calife se borna à l'assigner à résidence. Alhazen profita de ce loisir forcé...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Chapters: Muhammad of Khorasan, Abdullah Ibn Tahir Al-Khurasani, Tahir Ibn Husayn, Tahir Ii of Khorasan, Talha of Khorasan. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Muhammad bin Tahir (d. c. 890) was last the Tahirid governor of Khurasan, from 862 until 873. When Muhammad's father Tahir bin 'Abd-Allah died in 862, the caliph wanted to replace him with Muhammad b. 'Abd-Allah, but after the latter refused he appointed Muhammad as governor. The caliph however did not grant Muhammad other titles usually reserved for the Tahirid governor of Khurasan, such as the military governorship of Iraq and Baghdad, but instead gave them to Muhammad b. 'Abd-Allah. When he became governor, Muhammad was still young and rather inexperienced. Only two years after he succeeded his father, Tabaristan was lost to a Zaidi revolt and the Tahirids were unable to recover the province. In 867 the Saffarid amir of Sistan, Ya'qub bin Laith, took Herat and imprisoned its Tahirid governor. An army was dispatched under the Samanid Ibrahim ibn Ilyas to stop Ya'qub, but was defeated, after which Muhammad was forced to come to terms. During this time Muhammad also tried to gain the offices in the West that had been given to Muhammad b. 'Abd-Allah. After the latter died in 867 his brother 'Ubaydallah b. 'Abd-Allah had taken over the offices. In opposition to 'Ubaydallah, Muhammad sent his uncle Sulayman b. 'Abd-Allah as his representative in Iraq, and Sulayman was able to gain the posts at the expense of 'Ubaydallah, although he would eventually lose them. The weakness of Muhammad b. Tahir's rule in Khurasan would eventually lead to the end of Tahirid rule there. In 873 the Saffarid Ya'qub marched on Muhammad's capital, Nishapur. Muhammad refused to flee and was captured by the Saffarids. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=7965852 ... Read more

Excerpt: Nishapur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tomb of Omar Khayyám, NeishaburNishapur occupies an important strategic position astride the old Silk Road that linked Anatolia and the Mediterranean with China. On the Silk Road, Nishapur has often defined the flexible frontier between the Iranian plateau and Central Asia. The town derived its name from its reputed founder, the Sassanian king Shapur I, who is said to have established it in the 3rd century CE. Nearby are the turquoise mines that supplied the world with turquoise for at least two millennia. It became an important town in the Khorasan region but subsequently declined in significance until a revival in its fortunes in 9th century under the Tahirid dynasty, when the glazed ceramics of Nishapur formed an important item of trade to the west. For a time Nishapur rivaled Baghdad or Cairo: Toghrül, the first ruler of the Seljuk dynasty, made Nishapur his residence in 1037 and proclaimed himself sultan there, but it declined thereafter, as Seljuk fortunes were concentrated in the west. In the year 1000CE, it was among the 10 largest cities on earth . After the husband of Genghis Khan's daughter was killed at Nishapur in 1221, she ordered the death of all in the city (~1.7 million), and the skulls of men, women, and children were piled in pyramids by the Mongols. This invasion and earthquakes destroyed the pottery kilns. In 1979, the 15th World Scout Jamboree was scheduled to be held in Nishapur, but it was cancelled because of the uprising against the Shah of Iran led by Khomeini Ayatollah.

Extrait : Dans l'Histoire des mathématiques, on désigne par l'expression de mathématiques arabes une époque importante dans le développement de cette science. Il s'agit des contributions apportées par les mathématiciens du monde musulman, du début de la conquête au milieu du siècle. Les textes sont essentiellement écrits en arabe, ,qui était une des langues des sciences et de la culture à cette époque, d'où le nom, mathématiques arabes. Les sciences arabes, et en premier plan, les mathématiques, s'exercent à travers les califats islamiques, établis en Moyen-Orient, en Asie centrale, en Afrique du Nord, dans la péninsule ibérique, et au sud de la France au siècle. Ils ont conservé l'héritage grec, mais de plus, de récentes recherches ont démontré que beaucoup d'idées qu'on pensait apportées par les mathématiciens du , , ou siècle, furent en réalité développées par des mathématiciens grecs dont la traduction nous fut transmise en arabe quatre siècles auparavant ou par des mathématiciens arabes . En 476, la chute de Rome marque l'effondrement de l'Empire romain d'Occident. L'instabilité politique en Europe ne fut pas favorable à la recherche scientifique qui de toute façon n'était pas le fait de l'Empire romain. Parallèlement, l'islam connaît dès sa naissance au siècle une fulgurante progression. En un siècle, les territoires musulmans s'étendent d'Espagne jusqu'en Chine.
