El proceso de expulsión de los moriscos decretado por Felipe III (1609-1614) parecía haber acabado con la presencia secular del Islam en España; así desde luego lo ha dejado establecido toda la historiografía especializada. El presente libro demuestra que no fue así, y que a pesar de las órdenes regias miles de moriscos lograron permanecer ocultos en nuestro país, especialmente en el reino de Granada. Sorprende su enorme capacidad de recuperación económica y social. Parte del grupo se integró perfectamente, disolviéndose en la masa cristiano y un buen número de ellos, conservó actitudes religiosas y culturales que se pueden calificar de heterodoxas, y fue reprimido por la Inquisición en 1727. El colectivo mantuvo parte de su identidad hasta finales del siglo XVIII. Es esta, pues, una nueva historia de España, olvidada hasta el momento.
The Meaning of Jihad in Islam and The Jihad Within are the third and fourth installments of a projected series titled Did Islam Change? Or Did the Muslims Change? The books were written by Ghani, an American Muslim who has lived with his family in Pakistan for over thirty years to learn about Islam and his cultural roots. The series, which took more than eight years to write, explains the tenets of Islam through the words of the Qur?an. In The Meaning of Jihad in Islam and The Jihad Within, Ghani explains Islam?s teachings regarding Jihad. Although the word ?Jihad? is often cited by the media, it is remarkable that many people are ignorant of the true meaning of the word. Using the words of the Qur?an itself, Ghani explains the issues of Jihad in their true context. Islam, being the literal definition of peace and harmony of nature and onward the universe, condemns war, disorder, and bloodshed. Islam permits Jihad only as a last resort to protect the sanctity of life, or for the defense of freedom of worship not only for a Muslim but for that of the adherent of any faith. Ghani endorses that the world comi
The Call Of Modernity And Islam is a timely and welcome anthology of ten scholarly essays that focus creatively on the urgent need to re-energize Islamic culture and institutions. The essays span an enormous disciplinary range. Professor Khwaja moves back and forth with consummate ease between religion, science, philosophy, history, and the social sciences to paint a fully integrated, big picture of the encounter between Islam and modernity.

Esmídea es el mundo donde yacen Cristalia, Atlania y otras patrias, unidas por idioma, religión y cultura. En medio de este entorno paradisíaco de anchos mares, donde brilla la esmeralda y crecen las orquídeas, el sol manifiesta su esplendor. Pero el apetito tiránico, que acecha la libertad adondequiera, ha sometido a sus naturales a los juegos de poder de duros opresores. Con promesas de libertad y democracia, cada tirano obtuvo el apoyo de su pueblo, para luego, una vez en el poder, traicionarlo e imponerle un yugo peor que el anterior, del cual prometió liberarlo. En tal escenario, el espíritu rebelde enfrenta al opresor y a causa de la reacción, los perseguidos se ven obligados a la aventura de atravesar los mares en precarias barcazas, con las que pronto alcanzarán la etiqueta de náufragos: madres, que pierden a sus hijos en el intento de cruzarlos, pescadores, obreros, campesinos, expatriados, en fin, que, aún ganando la otra orilla, mueren después ahogados por la nostalgia del regreso. Otros, a los que su aporte no le ha sido contado en los países del arribo, son maltratados; y olvidada su calidad de refugiados, resultan deportados. La metáfora esmideana recoge la lucha de los pueblos por la libertad, que deja su impronta en esta pintura íntima de la tiranía.
