The Spirit of Religion
$18.00$20.00
The Moroccan philosopher Taha Abdel Rahman has accustomed us to finding the novel in every book he writes and in every topic he addresses; and here he is, in the book in your hands, bringing us what we thought the mind would deny, and even refer to, in a dilemma that has always occupied “the man of this time”, and has puzzled minds and still does, which is “the relationship between religion and politics”! Our philosopher has challenged the established axioms and established beliefs, storming the obstacles of reason and the limits of science, and he has brought us an approach to this problem that is not of the usual kind of approaches, because it does not address the abstract mind in man, but rather addresses his mind supported by the spirit; It was decided that man is more like a flying creature than a crawling creature.
Since our thinker’s approach was an unprecedented spiritual treatment of this perplexing problem, he had no choice but to address the various claims related to it, whether secular or religious, criticizing without denouncing, and building without patching; and after he took us on a tour in the worlds of human existence, drawing attention to the breadth of its horizons and the overlapping of its borders, he concluded that the solution to this hidden problem is not in the existence of a narrowness separating religion and politics, nor in an existence less narrow that connects them, but in transcending them both to an existential space of utmost spaciousness in which the visible and the unseen intermingle like warp and woof; for there is no separation or connection, but rather a primary unity in which the boundaries between worship and management disappear; and this spiritual unity was manifested in the fruit of the unseen encounter in which the Creator, Glory be to Him, presented to all of His creation, on a day unlike any other, His heavy trust; so man took it in return, pledging to fulfill its rights; The Creator, the Most High, has decreed in this great meeting that management should be a trust, so it became worship, and that worship, in turn, should be a trust, so it became management; but soon man forgot his covenant with the Creator, the Most High, and forgot the reality of the “trust”, so he separated what was connected, and connected what was not separated.

Philosophy Jurisprudence

The second part deals with many philosophical topics.

Ibn Khaldun’s Thought, Asabiyyah and the State
$14.00The author of the book states that after spending ten years in the company of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah, he concluded that: There are still many angles that need more research despite the many studies and writings about Ibn Khaldun and his most famous book, the Muqaddimah. He also concluded that corrections must be made to return Khaldunian thought to its original framework and preserve its entirety and true identity. And its readings according to the circumstances of his social experience, his personal concerns, and his modern context.
He also pointed out through his research the methodological error that many of Ibn Khaldun’s admirers have fallen into, and we mean by that looking with the eye of the present, and starting from contemporary thought, to the opinions and theories mentioned in the Muqaddimah in social, political, and economic affairs. As well as understanding his terms and expressions in a way that deviates from his purpose, and distances them from the scope of his interest and the molds of his thinking. In his view, most Khaldunian studies rarely look at Khaldunian thought as a whole, but rather they often look at his opinions in this field independently and separately from his opinions in other fields.

The Arab Moral Mind
$28.00The philosopher Al-Jabiri believes that the Arab moral mind was influenced by five legacies:
1.The pure Arab heritage
2.The pure Islamic heritage
3.The Persian heritage
4.The Greek heritage
5.The Sufi heritageMuhammad Abed Al-Jabiri believes that the origin of ethics is religion, and that reason stands behind moral judgment, as it is the basis of ethics in Islam. The Arab moral mind was exposed to the influence of political employment and the development of the concept until it reached the stage of establishing or what the writer calls “the ethics of obedience”, which crystallized with the Umayyad state in a way that serves “the unity of society and the state, inspired by the Persian heritage in particular.” He also explained the reasons for the dominance of Khosrowian values and the Persian heritage, whether at the cultural level or at the level of the structure of the state and the entity of society, in contrast to ignoring the Greek heritage, as in the texts of the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, and the medical human tendency in ethics, one of the most important pioneers of which was Ibn Al-Haytham, and also the limited influence of the philosophical tendency represented by Ibn Rushd and Ibn Bajjah, despite their cognitive importance and their criticism of the ethics of obedience, and the fog of the Sufi tendency prevailed, which tried to escape from positive resistance to negative resistance. The writer elaborated on drawing the manifestations of the moral crisis at various levels in Islamic societies resulting from this influence, where the system of the sheikh and the disciple dominated, and its owners completed their moral path, as they moved from the annihilation of ethics to the ethics of annihilation and the dropping of legal obligations.
