November 2012Islam und Moderne. Die neuen Denker
by Rachid Benzine, Hadiya Gurtmann
Intellektualität und Frömmigkeit zu vereinbaren, das ist das Ziel einer ganzen Generation muslimischer Denker. Unabdingbare Voraussetzung dafür ist die Entwicklung einer neuen Hermeneutik der Koraninterpretation, zu der muslimische Gelehrte aus zahlreichen Ländern ihren Beitrag leisten und dafür mitunter Kopf und Kragen riskieren. Ihre Namen sind hierzulande noch kaum bekannt, da die wenigsten ihrer Schriften ins Deutsche übersetzt worden sind. Dennoch findet ihr Beitrag zur Versöhnung des Islams mit der Moderne auch in Deutschland hohe Anerkennung: So war zum Beispiel der 2010 verstorbene gebürtige Algerier Mohammed Arkoun, Professor an der Sorbonne in Paris, Fellow am Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, desgleichen der ebenfalls 2010 verstorbene Ägypter Nasr Hamid Abu Said. Andere Vertreter, die Benzine in seinem Buch darstellt, sind Fazlur Rahman, Farid Esack (Südafrika), Abdul Karim Sorush (Iran) und Abdelmajid Charfi (Tunesien). Neben dem leidenschaftlichen Engagement für die Sache, der sich diese neuen Denker verschrieben haben und so zu Hoffnungsträgern für viele Muslime geworden sind, beeindruckt die persönliche Opferbereitschaft, die manchem von ihnen abverlangt wurde. Abu Saids Ehe etwa wurde zwangsgeschieden, er erhielt Morddrohungen und mußte ins niederländische Exil flüchten.

FictionJanuary 2015Al Azbakia
Winner of Katara Prize For Arabic Novel 2016
by Nasr Iraq
In Al-Azbakia, Nasser Iraq endeavors to draw on the past, specifically the time when Muhammad Ali Pasha ruled Egypt, in an attempt to make sense of the present. His purpose is to shed light on some of today’s details that many fail to recognize as nothing more than a glimpse, or in one way or another a continuation, of the past.The novel gives a realistic aura to historical moments that makes them more glorious and lively; a rhythm that brings them from the past to our present without losing their freshness or making them less surprising. The novel captures such realistic moments so vividly that they touch your soul and enter your heart. You feel them so that you begin to think that you went into a trance, travelling times and distances to live within the world depicted by the story. You start to live with its heroes, sharing their happy and sad moments and dreams and nightmares. There, between the lines and sentences, you meet with some well-known names, like Muhammad Ali Pasha, Abdulrahman Al Jabarti and Napoleon Bonaparte, and some others, like Ayoub, Shaldam, Khawaja (a colloquial form of address for a foreigner) Sharl and Mese’ada Hijab, that you will never meet except in this novel. The writer does a good job of picking up his characters and sketching them. The historical facts do not prevent him from creating fictional characters to whom he quickly gives flesh, blood and ideas. Events gets intertwined, and characters interact lively to create a world of dynamic events and people breathing life between facts supported by history and fiction to which the writer gives a realistic touch as it becomes an imaginary reality.

Ulema in Politics
A Study Relating to the Political Activities of the Ulema in the South-Asian Subcontinent from 1556 to 1947
by Ishtiaq Hussain Qureshi (Prof.), Abdullah Islam, Salsabil Medhat, Mohamed Nasr (Prof.)
Ulema occupy a prominent position in Islamic society. The degree of their influence varied from one era to another according to the diversity of prevailing political and social conditions and the extent of their scientific horizon. Hence, great names have emerged among them in social life and political events, of which the Indian subcontinent had a great share. From the first day that Islamic rule was established in the Indian subcontinent, some men who grew up in the schools of Islamic knowledge have been widely known. Yet, this did not prevent them, but rather motivated them, from taking valiant positions with outstanding courage towards political power and events. This book is concerned with the role that Ulema played in the political life of the Indian subcontinent, from 1556 from the time of Sultan Akbar to 1947, the moment of establishing Pakistan.

by Mario Villén Lucena
UN REINO DE LEYENDA - EL NACIMIENTO DE UNA DINASTÍA MÍTICA Alarcos, 1195. El ejército musulmán ha derrotado a las tropas dirigidas por el rey castellano Alfonso XI. Asquilula, naqîb andalusí, se siente doblemente feliz: regresa victorioso a casa y al mismo tiempo es informado del nacimiento de su primer nieto: Muhammad bin al-Ahmar. Son tiempos duros para la Península Ibérica, dividida política y culturalmente. En el norte, los territorios cristianos luchan entre sí; en el sur tampoco reina la paz entre los reinos musulmanes de taifas. A lo largo de los años habrá batallas, traiciones y compromisos, treguas y pactos junto a revueltas de ambos bandos. La vida y la muerte penden de un hilo. Pero habrá entonces cuando Muhammad bin al-Ahmar se convierta en el zegrí más destacado en la frontera con Castilla. Aclamado como sayj por el pueblo, lideró su lucha por sobrevivir a los constantes ataques cristianos, luego lo nombró emir y finalmente reunió los restos de al-Andalus que habían dejado los almohades en la famosa batalla denominada Navas de Tolosa.Fernando III el Santo fue su mayor enemigo. Pero bajo el reinado de Ibn Ammar surgió no sólo un reino, sino una nueva dinastía para gloria de al-Andalus y de la Historia: los nazaríes. Y nunca estuvo solo... Esta es una novela sobre batallas, conflictos políticos y aventuras, pero también sobre el amor, la amistad y la esperanza. Se trata de una novela basada en uno de los periodos más convulsos de la Historia, la Reconquista, pero escrita como nunca, desde el punto de vista andaluz. En definitiva, una novela sobre un personaje legendario.
