Treating the subject in a thoroughly philosophical manner that is comprehensible to contemporary analytical philosophers, he remains faithful to the Islamic tradition. This is the first book in English by a Muslim philosopher to present the main themes of the Islamic philosophical tradition on knowledge by presence. Written in an accessible style, this volume will interest students and scholars of Islamic philosophy at all levels. Ha’iri carefully demonstrates to the trained analytical philosophers that presence-knowledge is a viable and meaningful epistemological mode. The book is by a philosopher written for philosophers.

We believe in the essential beneficence of progress. We deal piecemeal with the frightening range of new problems which increasingly beset our society, but the assumptions underlying the ideology of progress are seldom seriously called in question. It is becoming increasingly urgent that these assumptions should be questioned dispassionately and with a real desire to see the truth. The author does not set out to deal with every aspect of our exceedingly involved situation. Rather he stands back and looks at that situation from various points of view, relating each to his central theme. The penetrating clarity and freshness of the pictures presented to the reader cannot fail to contribute to a better understanding of the ideology of progress, both as to its origins and as to its tendencies in the world of today. In the absence of some such understanding, even the most well intentioned actions are likely to be undertaken in vain. By him, too, the procedure of taking the reader along by steps so tiny as barely to suggest a shift of position is carried to a fine art; by the time a few such steps have been taken without incident it will probably be too late to turn back, since a new awareness will have begun to dawn inspiring a wish for more. Such is his dialectical method, applied at all times with a disarming absence of anything that might suggest a wish to sting; assuredly if love of one’s neighbour and respect for his natural feelings can be implacable in its own way, here is an example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related products tbay-addon tbay-addon-products\" id=\"product-related\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lord Northbourne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47425514832096,"sku":"","price":650.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/6237\/6416\/files\/41V8pPuoLeL.jpg?v=1748422443"},{"product_id":"esoterism-as-principle-and-as-way","title":"Esoterism as Principle and as Way","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"woocommerce-tabs\" class=\"woocommerce-tabs wc-tabs-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--description panel entry-content wc-tab\" id=\"tab-description\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eESOTERISM: AS PRINCIPLE AND AS WAY\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a work in which the author explains why esoterism is both possible and necessary and how it applies to the various levels of human experience.

The author shows how esoterism is the intellectual principle capable of explaining the formal contradictions of the religious systems that have been highlighted—and presented as a sign of weakness— in the “scientific” age; and also how it constitutes the spiritual way whereby we may reach the truth or reality, despite the confusions and obstacles with ‘which technological civilization and its accompanying philosophy seek to obscure our vision and weaken our resolve. As the author says: “Just as rationalism can remove faith so esoterism can restore it.” New readers of Frithjof Schuon will not fail to be impressed by the vigour and precision of his writing and by his authoritative handling of complex problems, and they will delight in discovering how the economy and “symmetry” of his style are accompanied by a unique poetic quality.

It is explicitly– often stridently– ­anti-Peripatetic and is identified with the pre­ Aristotelian sages, particularly Plato.

Phil Cousineau) Huston Smith has been trying to find a balance between the secular and the sacred dimensions of learning. What he has gleaned from a lifetime of studying the religions of the world is “the winnowed wisdom of the human race.” More importantly, he has gained access to “another world to live in,” which he has variously described as the Eternal, the Timeless, the Ultimate, and the place where he encounters God. Huston Smith’s books are all still in print, his essays have been anthologized, and his documentary films are available on video, but the numerous interviews conducted with him over the years have not been collected until now. The volume provides a profound new source of insight into Smith’s views on the world’s religious heritage and its relevance for our times and reveals a treasure trove of details about his long journey to discover the universal truths at the heart of humanity’s search for the ultimate nature of things. While banqueting us with technological gains, science is starving our souls by eclipsing the Transcendent. Defiant in the face of such scientistic nihilism, Smith has communicated to his students and readers that this is not the way things are— life is not pointless, meaningless, and purposeless. Instead, he admits to being driven to demonstrate the way things are, in fact— rich with purpose, value, and transcendental meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Huston Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47425646526688,"sku":"","price":950.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/6237\/6416\/files\/97-The-Way-Things-Are.png?v=1748432478"},{"product_id":"creativity","title":"Creativity","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"product_title entry-title\"\u003eCreativity Ibn al-‘Arabi and the Traditional Islamic Philosophy of Education\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional Muslim philosophy of education aims to develop the highest human potential known as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ekhal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eī\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003efatullah\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in Arabic.

Rather than arithmetic, language arts, and science lessons, it is this “molding” of the young learner that is the most important aspect of early childhood education. Once formed, this framework has a profound effect on one’s entire life. It ncit only influences initial ideas about how the physical world surrounding us came into existence, but also informs our inter-personal relations, lifestyles, habits, attitudes toward life and learning, and much deeper processes which affect the spiritual and emotional composition of our beings. In fact, one may say that the years of early childhood education are the most important developmental time in a person’s entire life. Concentric Circles is based on a thematic approach which seamlessly blends the Quednic worldview with pedagogical material, techniques, and tools, and situates the entire process of learning in Islamic intellectual soil. It integrates disciplines and allows teachers at schools and parents at home to draw upon a large body of material from the three realms from which the Qur’an itself draws its material: the cosmos, the nafs, and the human story.

He sees the contemporary drift from religion not as an isolated phenomenon unrelated to other contemporary phenomena, but as a manifestation of a relatively recent change in the point of view form which man considers his own life and the universe in which he lives. The theme is developed by contrasting the ideas prevalent in a religious and traditional society with those prevalent in a soaty, such as that of the present day. In which religious faith is at a low ebb and tradition is discarded in favour of an ideology of progress. The contrast is exemplified with special reference to modern science and the arts, and finally to religion itself. The conflict between religion and science is shown to be a real one, but as existing not because the approach of one or the other is invalid, but because modern science has been accorded a pre-eminence to which it has not right, since the field within which its approach is valid is very much more restricted than it is commonly supposed to be. This book will be of special interest, not only to anyone for whom religion is a reality, but also to anyone who sees any reason to question the validity of the modern ideology, it is not a book to be read hurriedly and laid aside.

This rather sober assessment motivates Dr. Lang to address, in this book, the alienation from the Mosque of the great majority of America’s homegrown Muslim. He asserts that to effectively respond to the general malaise of American-born Muslims, the Islamic establishment in America needs to be willing to listen to the doubts and complaints of the disaffected. This entails engaging in open discussions on issues with which many in the Muslim community will be uncomfortable, but Lang avers that such open dialogue will be of more benefit to young American Muslims struggling with their faiths than the covert and uniformed discussions that often take place or no discussion at all. As the title suggests, the main aim of this work is not to dissertate on Islam but to share with the reader a perspective to which he became privy and that pertains to a crisis of major proportions in the American Muslim community. The conspicuous and continued near total disconnect of native-born Muslims from the Mosque thwarts all attempts by Muslim activists to establish a viable, self-sustaining, Islamic community in the United States.

Knowledge must be synthetic and concise and the book intends to build up an intelligible synthesis and describes a large number of fundamental facts in a very simple manner, without being elementary and indulging in scientific popularization. Both for the scholar and the layman, the book presents an ensemble of scientific data concerning the human beings of our time. We are beginning to realize the weakness of our civilization and want to shake off the dogmas imposed upon us by modern society. This book is for those who are bold enough to understand the necessity, not only of mental, political, and social changes, but of the overthrow of industrial civilization and of the advent of another conception of human progress. Man Does Not Stand Alone: attempts a review of the scientific evidence of the existence of a Supreme Intelligence, and the title was chosen as a challenge to the conclusion of Julian Huxley in his book Man Stands Alone because some of the followers of Darwin had carried his deductions to the extreme of materialistic atheism while those who believed in a Supreme Intelligence and a purpose in all things took the other extreme and denied the facts of evolution though such vigorous positions were hardly needed be taken for science now has brought to light facts which go far to remove the apparent differences and enlighten both. This book, written for the average person, deals accurately with many serious yet startling facts of nature, it has all the elements of an adventure in wonderland. It is the work of a scientist, and unfolds an almost unbelievable range of scientific information for so small a volume, but this need not frighten the reader because it is full of surprises that seem to spring out of the commonplace and lead to wonderment and delight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexis Carrel \/ A.

In other words, we are now at an hour, which is neither the tenth nor the twelfth. The ‘twelfth hour’ will mark the conclusion, not of time as a whole, btit of one of the great cycles of four ages, which will be followed by another such cycle; and he argues that what Judaism, Christianity and Islam call ‘the end of the world’ can be understood in the same non-absolute way. He analyses first of all the negative aspects of the modern world, then its positive aspects, showing it to be, all things considered, far worse and yet far better than is generally supposed. The future is touched on no more than briefly, but our attention is drawn to a considerable weight of prophetic evidence that we are on the brink of a world-wide devastation.

It now remains for us to try the way of love. ‘Without vision the people perish.’ So wrote the poet William Blake. Lord Northbourne diagnosed the sickness of modern society as stemming from the severance of its organic links with the wholeness of life. His early advocacy of organic agriculture (he is said to have coined the term) was joined to a deep conviction that humanity does not live by bread alone, and that the fullness of human life demands obedience to sacred law. His ‘vision of life came to embrace fully the interrelationship of God, humanity, and the soil as a unity presupposing a way of life in stark contrast to that of the myopic, mechanistic world he saw encroaching on all sides. And so, as it becomes more and more evident that such a way of life stands to imperil our very future and that of the delicate ecosystem on which all life depends, it is time to re-examine the work of this pioneering thinker, whose vision of what is required by a truly meaningful and sustainable society embraced traditional metaphysics, religion, farming, the arts, the rural crafts, and monetary reform. He had a special gift for expressing the profoundest truths in simple and graceful language— without however ever `popularizing’— and his work, first published more than 60 years ago, was so remarkably prescient that only now, perhaps, are more profound ecological thinkers approaching the point where his deep metaphysical insights can begin to fructify their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related products tbay-addon tbay-addon-products\" id=\"product-related\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lord Northbourne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47488481984736,"sku":"","price":630.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/6237\/6416\/files\/139-Look-to-the-Land.png?v=1749721986"},{"product_id":"the-philosophy-of-mulla-sadra","title":"The Philosophy Of Mulla Sadra","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the pioneering works on the life and works of Sadr al-Dīn Shirāzī (1572-1640), one of the greatest Islamic sages and philosophers, and marks the dawn of a wider perspective on Islamic philosophy; a perspective that corrects the classical view held in the West that Islamic philosophy constituted a passing phenomenon and was merely a bridge between the late antiquity and the Latin High Middle ages.

A total rejection of the past cannot be the basis for the future and that a true link with Heaven modifies all the decisions and actions of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related products tbay-addon tbay-addon-products\" id=\"product-related\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gai Eaton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47488916848864,"sku":"","price":900.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/6237\/6416\/files\/20-The-Richest-Vein_57fcd411-5789-47a8-8e60-b310e6a9c654.png?v=1749727910"},{"product_id":"modern-man-at-the-crossroads","title":"Modern Man At The Crossroads","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"woocommerce-tabs\" class=\"woocommerce-tabs wc-tabs-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--description panel entry-content wc-tab\" id=\"tab-description\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has become increasingly clear today that the paradigm of knowledge that is set forth by modern science as the prevailing world view, while it bedazzles us with its intricacy, its precision, and its techno­logical edge, has led to a crisis of identity and fails on fundamental levels to answer the peren­nial questions that lie at the heart of man’s being. In the present work, the author surveys the traditional knowledge of the religions and the findings of modern science in the light of the two prevailing questions of our time, namely the Origin of Life\/Man and the True nature of the Reality and Final End. Part Three, The Search for Synthesis, focuses on the traditional perspective and the search for a more profound meaning that could be realized through a more effective interaction between re­ligion and science, resulting in an “encounter” that could be beneficial rather than antagonistic. This work explores the unspoken and hidden assumptions that underlie every aspect of modern scientific knowledge and shape every facet of the modern world, assumptions that amount to a kind of secular “faith” that the scientific elite rely on to bridge the gap that exists between proven facts and unprovable mysteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related products tbay-addon tbay-addon-products\" id=\"product-related\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Huston Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47489007812832,"sku":"","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/6237\/6416\/files\/93-Modern-Man-at-the-Crossroads.png?v=1749729341"},{"product_id":"understanding-islam","title":"Understanding Islam","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"woocommerce-tabs\" class=\"woocommerce-tabs wc-tabs-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--description panel entry-content wc-tab\" id=\"tab-description\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePartly for historical and political reasons Islam has perhaps been more misunderstood in the West than any other non-Christian religious tradition.

It may be even more so, because, where Moorish Spain is concerned, truth is usually stranger than fiction. Spain Under the Crescent Moon is composed of a series of historical sketches so irresistibly readable that they might have been lifted straight from the Arabian Nights— except that, unlike Scheherazade, he quotes unimpugnable historical sources for every wonder he recounts. The book is highly relevant to the pressing contemporary problem of how to relate to the Islamic world. The history of Moorish Spain shows that the question is not a new one, and it seems beyond doubt that the solutions (because they came from a deeper level) reached during the many centuries of Christian-Muslim co-existence were more intelligent than the superficial and often ill-informed blundering so common in this area today. Macnab writes deftly on art and history, chivalry and religion, Christian and Muslim kings, and Christian and Muslim holy men. His narrative is an open window into an age of faith. He describes Arab accomplishments in poetry, music and fine manners, as well as in the more familiar domains of architecture and calligraphy; the Alhambra at Granada being (with the possible exception of the Taj Mahal) the most renowned Islamic building in the world. He paints a fascinating picture of Islamic mysticism in a manner that recalls Ibn `Arabi’s account of the spiritual guides and Sufi masters. Spain Under the Crescent Moon is a rich source of delight and new understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related products tbay-addon tbay-addon-products\" id=\"product-related\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angus Macnab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47489029505248,"sku":"","price":980.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/6237\/6416\/files\/194-Spain-under-the-Crescent-Moon-1.png?v=1749730022"},{"product_id":"east-and-west","title":"East And West","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the great landmarks of the age, East and West is a foundational critique of the modern world coupled with a call for intellectual reform; a renewed examination of metaphysics, the traditional sciences and symbolism with special reference to the ultimate unanimity of all spiritual traditions. His first book, Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines (1921), was an exposition of metaphysics as transmitted in the Hindu tradition, and served to establish hi% specific use of important terms such as ‘esoterism’, ‘tradition’, and `orthodoxy’. Guenon’s application of traditional metaphysics to the specific cases was then broadened in the present book to the general question of East and West as conservators and transmitters of traditional wisdom in the modern age. The titles of its two parts, `Western Illusions’ and ‘How the Differences Might be Bridged, describe perfectly the book’s intention. Later books, especially The Crisis of the Modern World and its magisterial sequel, The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times, further extended Guenon’s penetrating critique of the modern world.

In 1927, Guenon responded to this crisis with the closest thing he ever wrote to a manifesto and ‘call-to-action’. The Crisis of the Modern World was his most direct and complete application of traditional metaphysical principles—particularly that of the ‘age of darkness’ preceding the end of the present world— to social criticism, surpassed only by The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times, his magnum opus. In the present work, Guenon ruthlessly exposes the Western deviation’: its loss of tradition, its exaltation of action over knowledge, its rampant individualism and general social chaos. His response to these conditions was not ‘activist’, however, but purely intellectual, envisioning the coming together of Western intellectual leaders capable under favourable circumstances of returning the West to its traditional roots or, under less favourable ones, of at least preserving the `seeds’ of Tradition for the time to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rene Guenon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47492496621792,"sku":"","price":650.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/6237\/6416\/files\/183-The-Crisis-of-the-Modern-World.png?v=1749820829"}],"url":"https:\/\/noorisons.com\/collections\/suhail-academy.oembed","provider":"Noori Sons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
