Al Tawhid: Its Implications for Thought and Life = التوحيد
written by Ismail Raji al-Faruqi, 1921-1986 (London, England: International Institute of Islamic Thought, 2016), 456 page(s)
إن "التوحيد" جوهر الإيمان الذي أرسى القرآن دعائمه، وشاد أركانه وبنيانه، وهو أعلى قيم القرآن المجيد وقمة مقاصده. ولكي يحيا، ويكون فاعلا، وليحقق كل ما أنيط به، لا بد أن يوجد في...

Description
إن "التوحيد" جوهر الإيمان الذي أرسى القرآن دعائمه، وشاد أركانه وبنيانه، وهو أعلى قيم القرآن المجيد وقمة مقاصده. ولكي يحيا، ويكون فاعلا، وليحقق كل ما أنيط به، لا بد أن يوجد في الأمة، ويتحرك وينشط بالدعوة ويحيا الثلاثة - التوحيد والأمة والدعوة - معا ب...
إن "التوحيد" جوهر الإيمان الذي أرسى القرآن دعائمه، وشاد أركانه وبنيانه، وهو أعلى قيم القرآن المجيد وقمة مقاصده. ولكي يحيا، ويكون فاعلا، وليحقق كل ما أنيط به، لا بد أن يوجد في الأمة، ويتحرك وينشط بالدعوة ويحيا الثلاثة - التوحيد والأمة والدعوة - معا بالقرآن وفيه. فكتاب "التوحيد" كان أول كتاب من كتب خمسة كانت باكورة إنتاج " المعهد العالمي للفكر الإسلامي " عند التأسيس، وذلك لأن "الجمع بين القرائتين" هو جوهر "إسلامية المعرفة" ومنطلقها، و"الجمع بين القرائتين" لا يمكن ان يقوم إلا على التوحيد الخالص، ولذلك فقد سارع شهيدنا الفاروقي الى إصدار كتابه مع الإصدارة الأولى ل "إسلامية المعرفة" ليوحي بذلك الى أن "إسلامية المعرفة" (منطلقها وغايتها وهدفها) لا يمكن تحقيق شيء منها الا بإرساء دعائم التوحيد والانطلاق من حقائقه. فكتاب "التوحيد" الذي نقدمه ليس مجرد كتاب في الإيمان أو العقيدة وعلم الكلام، بل هو كتاب يؤسس لحضارة ويقيم عمرانا، ويرسي دعائم تجديد خير أمة أخرجت للناس.

Bhakti, a term ubiquitous in the religious life of South Asia, has meanings that shift dramatically according to context and sentiment. Sometimes translated as “personal devotion,” bhakti nonetheless implies and fosters public interaction. It is often associated with the marginalized voices of women and lower castes, yet it has also played a role in perpetuating injustice. Barriers have been torn down in the name of bhakti, while others have been built simultaneously. Bhakti and Power provides an accessible entry into key debates around issues such as these, presenting voices and vignettes from the sixth century to the present and from many parts of India’s cultural landscape. Written by a wide range of engaged scholars, this volume showcases one of the most influential concepts in Indian history—still a major force in the present day.

Bringing together leading authorities in the fields of Chinese and Tibetan Studies alike, Chinese and Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism engages cutting-edge research on the fertile tradition of Esoteric Buddhism (also known as Tantric Buddhism). This state of the art volume unfolds the sweeping impact of esoteric Buddhism on Tibetan and Chinese cultures, and the movement's role in forging distinct political, ethnical, and religious identities across Asia at large. Deciphering the oftentimes bewildering richness of esoteric Buddhism, this broadly conceived work exposes the common ground it shares with other Buddhist schools, as well as its intersection with non-Buddhist faiths. As such, the book is a major contribution to the study of Asian religions and cultures.

If Buddhism is to remain relevant to the contemporary era, through providing effective solutions to the proliferating and protean discursive problems encountered by its present-day practitioners, it cannot continue to ignore the role of discourse in the formation of subjectivity. In the interest of problematizing such 'ignorance,' this book explores the potential interface between Foucaultian discourse analysis and the development of an indigenous rationale for the practice of contemporary Western Buddhism, along with the growing significance of such a rationale for 'traditional' Buddhism in an era dominated by disciplinary/bio-power. Through doing so, this book radically re-conceptualizes the role of Buddhism in the world today by linking Buddhist practice with acts of discursive transgression.
