The era of the four imāms was a turning point in Islāmic history. It was a time shaped by a firm commitment to the Islāmic identity and an openness to change. The Islāmic identity provided the cultural foundation and the basis for intellectual pursuits. At the same time, the era of the four imāms was a time of accelerated social change due to the number of new nations and cultures which had entered into Islām, often in their entirety. It was also a time of increased cultural interaction and cross-fertilization between the Muslim world and neighbouring nations. The codification of the four legal schools was a declaration of a new start, requiring dedication to following a tradition, a renewal of allegiance, and the affirmation of sound methodological principles.

Early Sources For Prophet Muhammad’s Biography (H/B)
In ‘Early Sources for Prophet Muhammad’s Biography’, Dr. Muhammad Saeed Mitwally aims to prove that applying Western methods of critical analysis to the available Muslim sources can take us back to early, reliable information about the Prophet (sa).
Early Western biographies of the Prophet of Islam (sa) were largely based upon the Qur’an, as well as upon the late Muslim sources dating from the sixteenth century. After the publication of Goldziher’s Muhammedanische Studien in 1890, the reliability of Muslim sources became controversial. This stance was intensified by the publication of Schacht’s The Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence, in which he claimed that none of the Hadith literature is authentic. In this book, Dr. Muhammad Saeed Mitwally successfully challenges some of the problems raised by the pessimistic attitude.
Students of Hadith will find this study thought-provoking and informative.

Moreover, the commonalities between the Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are too often ignored.

Islam is best judged not by the limitations and transgressions of its most extreme, ignorant, and outlandish followers, but by the example of its moderate majority, and Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood presents this introduction to the theology and practice of Islam in an attempt to explore some of the false impressions that surround it.
