Great Exegesis
Fakhr al-Din Razi's 'Tafsir', 'The Great Exegesis', also known as 'Mafatih al-Ghayb', is one of the great classics of Arabic and Islamic scholarship. Written in the twelfth century, this commentary on the Qur'an has remained until today an indispensable reference work. 'The Great Exegesis' is a compendium not only of Qur'anic sciences and meanings, but also Arabic linguistics, comparative jurisprudence, Aristotelian and Islamic philosophy, dialectic theology and the spirituality of Sufism.---The present volume is the first ever translation into English from 'The Great Exegesis' and focuses on the first chapter of the Qur'an, the 'Fatiha'. This scholarly yet accessible translation gives readers a thorough understanding of the most commonly recited chapter of the Qur'an; it also opens up for readers a window into the thought and practice of one of Islam's greatest theologians. This volume includes a foreword by Professor M.A.S. Abdel Haleem, King Fahd Professor of Islamic Studies,
Saladin - Hans Liv Och Hans Krig Mot Frankerna
Den legendomsusade kurdiske ledaren Salah ad-Din, bättre känd i väst som Saladin (1137/38–1193), har intresserat politiker, härförare och forskare i alla tider. Men vem var han egentligen? Här skildras hans liv av vännen och rådgivaren Baha al-Din, med tonvikt på de år de hade tillsammans och som kom att sammanfalla med krigen mot korsfararna. Med unika och trovärdiga ögonvittnesuppgifter får vi följa hela kriget från det att Saladin enar de inbördes krigande muslimerna när de kristna hotar till att den sjuke och slutkörde Rikard Lejonhjärta ber Saladin om is, frukt och vapenstillestånd. Däremellan erbjuds magnifika skildringar av slagen om Akko och Jaffa, utbyten av ambassadörer och fångar, kärva vinterläger och äventyrliga räder, upproriska småfurstar och ränksmidande släktingar och allt annat som hörde den tidens ledarskap till. Denna bok har aldrig tidigare utgivits på svenska. Den har översatts av Marie Anell och är försedd med en inledning av Mohammad Fazlhashemi.
