Muslims believe that everything they own is given to them as an amanah (trust) from Allah. The author sheds light on how modern medical issues should be handled in light of our Islamic responsibilities.Organ Transplantation, Euthanasia, Cloning and Animal Experimentation: An Islamic View have given rise to a host of ethico-legal issues. Muslims believe that everything they own has been given to them as an amanah (trust) from Allah. Would it constitute a breach of that trust to consent to enrol oneself as an organ donor? Cloning could rectify the problem of infertile couples, but such technology could also be abused with dire consequences. While euthanasia may apparently alleviate the suffering of the terminally ill, would that not compound their agony in the life hereafter? The author sheds light on these issues and acquaints the reader with the latest rulings on these biotechnological manipulations.

Signs, Symptoms and Cures of the Spiritual Diseases of the Heart Translation and Commentary of Iman Al-Mawlud's Matharat Al-Qulub If we examine the trials and tribulations all over the earth, we'll find they are rooted in human hearts. Covetousness, the desire to aggress and exploit, the longing to pilfer natural resources, the inordinate love of wealth and other maladies are manifestations of diseases found nowhere but in the heart. Every criminal, miser, abuser, scoffer, embezzler, and hateful person does what he or she does becasue of a diseased heart. So if you want to change our world, do not begin by rectifying the outward. Instead, change the condition of the inward. It is from the unseen world that the phenomenal world emerges, and it is from the unseen realm of our hearts that all actions spring...We of the modern world are reluctant to ask ourselves - wehn we look at the terrible things happening - "Why do they occur?" And if we ask that with sincerity, the answer will come back in no uncertain terms: all of this is from our own selves. In so many ways we have brought this upon ourselves. This is the only empowering position that we can take. - Excerpted from Hamza Yusuf's Introduction This book offers an insightful introduction to one of the most ancient of religious concerns: spiritual purification of the heart. It takes the reader through a well known text from the Muslim tradition, and gives important commentary that is relevant to our day and...read more
