<p>The Noble Qur'an English By Bewleys A New Rendering of its [#0899,1I1,Meaning In English, T#53 HB 651pp TAHA,Abdalhaqq &amp; Aisha Bewley. NO ARABIC] This rendering is intended primarily as a tool for English speaking Muslim. Instead of being burdened with too many parenthetical notes. (which tends to disturb the flow) , it retains some of the commonly used ` Arabic Words such as Halal, Haram, Dunya, Shaytan, Taqwa, Salat, Zakat (with explanation in the glossary if needed). Key Qur'anic terms has always been retained in languages such as Turkish, Urdu, Malay, Hausa etc. One finds that the Arabic translated word is actually alien to many English speaking 'born Muslims'. and therefore this approach is highly welcome. Note : The Arabic text used for this rendering is the riwaya from Imam Warsh from Nafi', the great reciter of the second generation of Muslims in Madina. This does not mean that there are variation of meaning between this and the reading of Imam Hafs which is what has been used, as the basis of most other English Translations that we come across. This means that in few instances there may be grammatical differences (which may also slightly affect the numbering of the ayat's) . For instance, we may find that in Surat Yunus, ayat 45 reads in this rendering ' On the day We gather them together' whereas in Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation you will find 'On the day He will gather together'</p>

<p>Reading historical sources throughout the centuries of Islamic history, we find lots and lots of women active in all areas of life, and then suddenly it stops. What happened? How and why have things changed in the last three hundred years to the extent that it is unusual to find women involved in Islamic sciences and, unlike in the past, very few Muslim men would even consider being taught by a Muslim woman? This is a phenomenon which requires in-depth research. It is time to re-examine the sources and re-assess how Muslim women in the past acted so that we can escape the limiting perspectives which have come to be the norm. To this end, we will examine three perspectives: the Scholarly Woman, the Political Woman, and the Spiritual Woman.</p>
