House of Islam

The House of Islam seeks to provide entry to the minds and hearts of Muslims the world over. It introduces us to the fairness, kindness and mercy of Mohammed; the aims of sharia law, through commentary on scripture, to provide an ethical basis to life; the beauty of Islamic art and the permeation of the divine in public spaces; and the tension between mysticism and literalism that still threatens the House of Islam.

The decline of the Muslim world and the current crises of leadership mean that a glorious past, full of intellectual nobility and purpose, is now exploited by extremists and channelled into acts of terror. How can Muslims confront the issues that are destroying Islam from within, and what can the West do to help work towards that end?

Ed Husain guides us through the nuances of Islam and its people, contending that the Muslim world need not be a stranger to the West, nor its enemy, but a peaceable ally.

Casa Islamului incearca sa ofere intrare in mintea si inima musulmanilor din intreaga lume. Ne introduce in corectitudinea, bunatatea si mila lui Mohamed; scopurile legii sariei, prin comentarii asupra scripturilor, de a oferi o baza etica vietii; frumusetea artei islamice si permeabilitatea divinului in spatiile publice; si tensiunea dintre misticism si literalism care inca ameninta Casa Islamului.
