Defining Legends-An Analysis of Afrocentric Writings Against Islam By Abdulhaq Al-Ashanti ISBN: 9781916475618 Author: Abdulhaq Al-Ashanti Book Binding: Hardcover Pages: 388 Size: 9.7 x 6.5 x 1.3 inch Publication Year: 2019 Description About This Book:The book 'Defining Legends' began in 1999 with only 75 pages. The author has expanded it over time, making adjustments, rejecting certain portions, and adding new content. Throughout this process, the author has concentrated on the book's primary ideas. The author begins by stating that since the 1960s, there has been a considerable increase in the number of persons in the West, particularly those of African heritage in the United Kingdom and the United States, who have converted to Islam. Simultaneously, there has been an increase in Afrocentric thinking in the West. According to Afrocentric thinkers, Islam was founded by Arab invaders who exploited Africa to the disadvantage of African people. They have formed as a counter-movement against the increasing number of African Americans adopting Islam.' Defining Legends' seeks to evaluate mainstream black Orientalism and radical Afrocentric assertions about Islam seriously. It provides new evidence to refute these myths. The book examines and dismisses documentary evidence that is frequently found in Afrocentric literature regarding Islam. The research mostly criticizes anti-Islamic notions found in some Afrocentric interpretations of Islam. Instead, it employs more dependable criteria to expose the flaws in their reasoning.' Defining Legends' also demonstrates that much of Afrocentric thinking about Islam has European Christian, Freemason, and Zionist roots. AbdulHaq, the author, has lived and traveled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East. He was one of the key creators of the ICO Islamic Studies Curriculum initiative in Riyadh in 2004, which is a vital resource for Islamic education. He has also authored and translated several works into English."

It truly portrays this outstanding personality's individual style. Deedat digs into the portrayal of Jesus as a prophet promoting the Oneness of God, as well as an assessment of the historical collapse of Christianity as it departed from his teachings. The author eloquently depicts Jesus' initial followers, who accepted the concept of God's unity. The story demonstrates that what we now call "Christianity" was a construct that superseded their genuine beliefs. Deedat clearly illustrates that the concept of Jesus as a member of a Trinity was derived from Greek Paganism and adopted by early Christian missionaries in their efforts to convert Greeks

Human Rights in Islam By Jamal Zarabazo ISBN-10: 9960770680 Author: Jamal Zarabozo Book Binding: Paperback Pages 305 Size: 11.5 x 8.0 x 0.7 inch Publication year:2016 Description About This Book: Many scholars are quick to point out that human rights has become a, if not the, dominant theme of the world today. For example, Ann Kent writes in Between Freedom and Subsistence: China and Human Rights, “The problem of human rights lies at the heart of modern political discourse,”Some argue that even those countries which are not completely enamored by the human rights concepts go out of their way to demonstrate that their actions do not violate human rights. Indeed, who could possibly be against a concept entitled human rights.”? With respect to Islam in particular, Khalid Abou El Fadhl wrote; “Of all the moral challenges confronting Islam in the modern age, the problem of human rights is the most formidable.”Undoubtedly, Muslim countries, organizations, scholars and individuals feel the necessity of explaining exactly where they stand on the question of human rights. Actually, the situation has gone even beyond that to one of apparent acceptance of the concept as a whole. When many Muslims speak about political issues, such as the Middle East conflict, they speak about it in terms of human rights. In fact, many times in intra-Muslim political debates centering about rights, it is the human rights paradigm that often resonates with the audience regardless of who that audience may be., In this authors view, a number of important questions have gone relatively unanswered. These questions include: Is the human rights doctrine deserving of the amount of respect and admiration that it has received? What, in detail, should be a Muslim’s attitude toward the concept of human rights and the contemporary human rights paradigm in particular? Just as importantly, what is the human rights doctrine’s attitude toward Islam? For example, does a Muslim truly have the right to practice his religion within the framework of contemporary human rights thought?

Ibn Hajar accurately noted, "Every objective person knows that scholars of Hadīth who come after Al-Khatīb are indebted to his works." It isn't difficult to see why that is the case as Al-Khatib was from the last generation of titans that shone above others. He authored a number of pioneering works in Hadith literature.  It is a privilege for Daar as-Sunnah to be publishing its first edition of 'Sharaf Ashābu'l Hadīth' of Imām Al-Khatīb al-Baghdādi for the English speaker.
