Synopsis

In a remarkable and eloquent dialogue set in poetic style, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi describes a debate between the Mu'tazilites and mainstream Sunni theologies. It is a rejoinder to a poem written eloquently in classical Arabic over a thousand years ago by Abu'l-Qasim Isma'il ibn 'Abbad (d. 385 AH / 995 AC). The author, being an erudite scholar of classical theology and Arabic literature, followed the same method used by ibn 'Abbad, which is poetry, to bring a marvelous poem of two hundred lines to life. The book starts with five introductory chapters on the original poem and its author, a look into the poem and its pattern. Although the subject is difficult, the author, simplifies and makes it accessible to the average reader.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi is a world-renowned Islamic scholar of theology, jurisprudence, Prophetic tradition, and a spiritual leader to thousands of Muslims across the globe. He has been named one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world for the past five years (theMuslim500.com). Shaykh Al-Yaqoubi was born in Damascus in 1963 and trained from an early age in the Islamic sciences by his father, who was an Imam and instructor at the Grand Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. He descends from a scholarly family that traces its lineage back to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Three of his ancestors were also Imams at the Grand Umayyad Mosque. A Sufi Master of the Shadhili Order, his primary focus is on the purification of the heart, the spiritual well-being of Muslims, and the rectification of their social conduct and interaction within society based on the highest virtues of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). He has travelled around the world teaching Muslims, and bringing awareness to and spreading moderate Islam. Thousands of students have studied under him, many of whom are now Imams and teachers in the Islamic World—in the Arab world, the West, the Far East, and South Africa. Shaykh Al-Yaqoubi was one of the first scholars to speak up against the Assad regime and, subsequently, against the rise of ISIS, denouncing its atrocities and proving its actions to be un-Islamic. To this end, he has delivered numerous lectures, penned articles, and given several TV and paper interviews to media agencies such as CNN, BBC, and PBS. He is the author of several books in Arabic in the areas of Islamic law and Prophetic Tradition. He speaks Arabic, English, and Swedish, and reads French and German.
