Minhaj-ul-Quran Publications Mawlid Al-nabi: Celebration and Permissibility
Book SynopsisThis book by renowned scholar and recognised authority on Islam, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, is a discourse on the legal position of celebrating the Mawlid al-Nabi (birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)) within Islam. Most notably, the author has comprehensively compiled evidences from the authentic source texts and classical authorities to prove not only the permissibility of celebrating the Mawlid al-Nabi within the bounds of the Shari'a (Islamic Law) but also that it is divinely ordained and was a Sunna (practice) of the Prophet himself. The author presents unique and compelling arguments showing why celebrating Mawlid al-Nabi is not only an act of righteousness, but a need of our time. Tackling the various criticisms of this act head on, he specifically addresses the issue of why the first generation of Muslims did not celebrate the Mawlid, and clarifies that labelling the Mawlid as an bid'ah (innovation) betrays a fundamental and serious flaw in the understand of the Islamic concept of bid'ah.Table of ContentsChapters: 1.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Blasphemie: Anspruch und Widerstreit in
Book SynopsisSeit zwei Jahrzehnten lässt sich eine irritierende Wiederkehr des Blasphemievorwurfs beobachten. Man denke etwa an den dänischen Karikaturenstreit oder den Terroranschlag auf Charlie Hebdo 2015 in Paris. Die entsprechenden politischen und juristischen Debatten betreffen gegenwärtig insbesondere Blasphemieparagraphen in den Rechtsordnungen. Doch das Phänomen der Blasphemie ist facettenreicher, als es dabei oft wahrgenommen wird. Denn "Blasphemie" ist kein objektiv vorliegender Tatbestand, sondern entspricht einem komplexen Deutungsmuster, das religionsspezifisch und interreligiös unterschiedliche Ausprägungen erfahren hat. Der vorliegende Sammelband reflektiert das Phänomen der Blasphemie in Geschichte und Gegenwart in einem multiperspektivischen Zugang. Die Thematik wird sowohl im Kontext von Judentum, Christentum, Islam, Hinduismus, Buddhismus als auch im Kontext von Jurisprudenz und Kunst aus der Sicht verschiedener Wissenschaftsdisziplinen analysiert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Entdeckung der Menschenwürde in der
Book SynopsisLydia Lauxmann klärt in dieser Studie, wie Begriff und Vorstellungsgehalt der Menschenwürde innerhalb der Theologie des 20. Jahrhunderts rezipiert wurden. Während die Menschenwürde heute selbstverständlicher Teil theologisch-ethischer Debatten ist, wurde sie noch in der Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts als "Blasphemie" und "Götzendienst" abgelehnt.Die Autorin zeigt auf, wie es von der Ablehnung der Menschenwürde zu ihrer selbstverständlichen Verbreitung kam. Sie zeichnet den Weg der Menschenwürde in die Theologie in den Debatten um Recht und Gerechtigkeit, in den Menschenrechtsdebatten und in den Bioethikdebatten der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts nach und leistet damit einen Beitrag zum Verständnis theologischer und kirchlicher Debattenkultur, der Menschenwürdefigur und des Protestantismus in der Gesellschaft.

Academic Studies Press Being a Nation State in the Twenty-First Century:
Book SynopsisSince the founding of the Zionist movement until today, the question of the relationship between “church” and state in Israel remains unresolved, resulting in a continuous legal and social conflict among Israelis. The tension that arises from Judaism acting not only as a religion and culture but also as a national entity constitutionally underpinning an entire state—resulting in the “Jewish and democratic state” of Israel—manifests in major aspects of daily life for Israelis, such as marriage and divorce, conversion, and Shabbat. This book presents a crucial piece of scholarship in understanding the history and current dynamics of the relation between state and religion in Israel, and, in doing so, provides a unique perspective on the future potential solutions to this social rift. Trade Review“Judaism is a unique entity. It is a religion and a culture, but it is also a national entity. The State of Israel, the fulfillment of a dream of two millennia, when without a foothold in the promised land, Jewish continued existence depended on religious, spiritual, and intellectual values. But, how can this state, Jewish and democratic, relate to state and religion matters? … Shuki Friedman, in his concise but very informative, balanced, and well-organized book, surveys the issues systematically and describes the development of state and religion issues since the establishment of Israel.” — Justice Elyakim Rubinstein, from the preface“The book is a fascinating read for readers outside of Israel that may not understand the basics of, and the inherent complexities of how the government of Israel operates, its laws, and the many tensions between the secular and religious communities.”— Ben Rothke, The Times of IsraelTable of ContentsPersonal Introduction and Acknowledgments Introduction: Jewish and Democratic—On Church-State Relations in Israel 1.
