Islam: A Short History book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

No religion in the modern world is as feared and misunderstood as Islam. It haunts the popular imagination as an extreme faith that promotes terrorism, authoritarian government, female oppression, and civil war. In a vital revision of this narrow view of Islam and a distillation of years of thinking and writing about the subject, Karen Armstrong’s short history demonstrates that the world’s fastest-growing faith is a much more complex phenomenon than its modern fundamentalist strain might suggest.

EL ISLAM book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

El Islam es, probablemente, la religión más incomprendida y malinterpretada de la modernidad. Una curiosa ignorancia prevalece en Occidentes desde las cruzadas, cuando empezó a cultivarse una visión distorsionada del Islam como una religión violenta e intolerante. Sin embargo, los imperios islámicos llegaron a ser los más g randes y mejor situados de la tierra hasta que fueron reemplazados por las naciones europeas en el siglo XIX.Karen Armstrong explica los acontecimientos centrales en la historia de esta religión -la división entre musulmanes chiítas y sunnitas. La aparición del misticismo sufí, la expansión por el Mediterráneo y por Asia, el efecto devastador de las cruzadas, el florecimiento del Islam imperial en los siglos XIV y XV, los orígenes y consecuencias del Islam revolucionario- y analiza los retos que afronta hoy en día esta religión milenaria.En este libro se confrontan los estereotipos y se demuestra que lo que llamamos «Islam» es un fenómeno mucho más rico y complejo de lo que su moderna facción fundamentalista sugiere.

The figure of Muhammad, a humble man from the Mecca who initiated a religion accessible to all, is still the subject of ongoing controversies in the Western world. Karen Armstrong narrates the beginnings of Islam a word which means submission and peace , and of the theological and political disputes that soon affected the lives of families living in the Mecca or Medina. Muhammad is described as a complex and passionate man, politically wise and true to what he understood to be a personal and transcendental mission.

Muhammad Prophet for Our Time book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

Muhammad was born in 570 CE, and over the following sixty years built a thriving spiritual community, laying the foundations of a religion that changed the course of world history. There is more historical data on his life than on that of the founder of any other major faith, and yet his story is little known. Karen Armstrong’s immaculately researched new biography of Muhammad will enable readers to understand the true origins and spirituality of a faith that is all too often misrepresented as cruel, intolerant, and inherently violent. An acclaimed authority on religious and spiritual issues, Armstrong offers a balanced, in-depth portrait, revealing the man at the heart of Islam by dismantling centuries of misconceptions. Armstrong demonstrates that Muhammad’s life–a pivot point in history–has genuine relevance to the global crises we face today.

Maomé- Uma Biografia do Profeta book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

Dante Alighieri colocou Maomé no Inferno e Voltaire dizia que o Corão era “o pesadelo da razão”. Esses autores encarnam dois momentos de uma longa história de incompreensão entre as maiores tradições culturais da humanidade. Ocidente e Oriente viveram inúmeros momentos de hostilidade recíproca – que não raro se agudizaram até o limite do confronto -, mas Jesus sempre foi considerado parte integrante da religião islâmica, na qualidade de profeta precursor da revelação final. No século XX, a situação de desconhecimento do Ocidente em relação à religião muçulmana começou a mudar, com o surgimento de biografias como as de Montgomery Watt, Martin Lings e, especialmente, com o estudo de Maxime Rodinson, que destaca a liderança política e militar do Profeta. Em “Maomé – uma biografia do Profeta”, Karen Armstrong procura ir além dos autores que a precederam. Ela lembra que, de um ponto de vista histórico, o Profeta do Islão é o mais conhecido dos fundadores das grandes fés e que o estudo da sua vida nos permite compreender melhor a natureza do fenômeno religioso. A experiência espiritual de Maomé, numa caverna do monte Hira, por exemplo, é comparada às visões e aos êxtases de santa Teresa de Ávila. Armstrong demonstra também que um conhecimento aprofundado dos personagens envolvidos na eclosão da fé muçulmana é essencial para o estabelecimento de relações mais tolerantes e fraternas entre civilizações que, há séculos, vêm se defrontando num conflito interminável. Esta minuciosa e erudita biografia aborda questões centrais para as decisivas – e às vezes acaloradas – discussões contemporâneas acerca do cenário geopolítico internacional, como a polêmica dos chamados “versículos satânicos” e as diferentes interpretações da jihad. Com esta obra, traduzida inclusive para o árabe, Karen Armstrong dá uma importante contribuição para o reconhecimento de formas mais harmoniosas de convívio entre civilizações – condição que se apresenta imperiosa para o futuro da humanidade.

Muhammad and the Believers: At the Origins of Islam book pdf download By Fred Donner

The origins of Islam have been the subject of increasing controversy in recent years. The traditional view, which presents Islam as a self-consciously distinct religion tied to the life and revelations of the prophet Muhammad in western Arabia, has since the 1970s been challenged by historians engaged in critical study of the Muslim sources. In Muhammad and the Believers, the eminent historian Fred Donner offers a lucid and original vision of how Islam first evolved. He argues that the origins of Islam lie in what we may call the “Believers’ movement” begun by the prophet Muhammad—a movement of religious reform emphasizing strict monotheism and righteous behavior in conformity with God’s revealed law. The Believers’ movement thus included righteous Christians and Jews in its early years, because like the Qur’anic Believers, Christians and Jews were monotheists and agreed to live righteously in obedience to their revealed law. The conviction that Muslims constituted a separate religious community, utterly distinct from Christians and Jews, emerged a century later, when the leaders of the Believers’ movement decided that only those who saw the Qur’an as the final revelation of the One God and Muhammad as the final prophet, qualified as Believers. This separated them decisively from monotheists who adhered to the Gospels or Torah. (20100627)

Maometto e le origini dell’Islam book pdf download By Fred Donner

La nascita dell’islam è stata l’oggetto di crescenti controversie negli ultimi anni. In Maometto e le origini dell’islam, testo semplice e sintetico, Fred Donner offre una visione lucida e originale sulla prima evoluzione dell’islam. Egli argomenta e sostiene in maniera convincente che l’islam non emerse come una religione nuova e subito consapevole della sua novità, ma che le sue origini vanno ricercate in quello che definisce il “movimento dei Credenti”. Fu Maometto a dare inizio a questo movimento di riforma religiosa ispirato a un puro monoteismo e che includeva, nei suoi primi anni, cristiani ed ebrei virtuosi. La consapevolezza che i musulmani costituissero una comunità religiosa separata, decisamente distinta da cristianesimo e giudaismo, avrebbe preso forza, secondo l’attenta ricostruzione di Donner, quasi un secolo più tardi, quando la comunità dei credenti musulmani stabili che solo coloro che vedevano nel Corano la rivelazione finale del Dio Unico e in Maometto l’ultimo dei profeti ne potessero fare parte. Da quel momento i “Credenti” divennero i “musulmani”.

أَوضَح الكتاب سماتِ البلاغة الظاهرة في الخطاب الإسلامي بشِقَّيه الإلهي والنبوي، فجاء في قسمَين؛ قدَّم أولُهما رصدًا دقيقًا لملامح الإعجاز القرآني، فتحدَّث عن بلاغة النص الأدبية، وإعجازِه العلمي والاجتماعي، كما أجلى الحكمةَ من نزول القرآن بلغةِ قريش، مع إشارةٍ إلى لغاتِ القبائل الأخرى التي نزَل بها القرآن. وتحدَّث هذا القسم أيضًا عن مشاهير القُرَّاء، والمذاهبِ المتَّبعة في القراءات القرآنية، بالإضافة إلى تناوُل آراءِ الفِرَق الإسلامية وأقوالها في إعجاز النص القرآني، وتَطرَّق كذلك إلى الحديث عن وجه الإعجاز في الأحرُف السبعة التي نزَل بها القرآن. ثم أفرَد الكلامَ في القسم الثاني للحديث عن البلاغةِ النبوية وتأثيرِها في اللغة العربية. وقد حَظِي الكتابُ عند صدوره بإشادةٍ كبيرة من النقَّاد والمفكِّرين والأدباء.
