A BRIEF TOUR OF THE FIVE LIVES OF MAN: BEFORE CONCEPTION, IN THE WORLD, LIFE IN THE GRAVE, AT THE RESURRECTION, AND IN HEAVEN OR HELL, EXPLAINING THE NATURE OF THE SOUL AT EACH STAGE. What happens after death? Who are "Munkar and Nakir?" What will Heaven and Hell be like? What signs should we expect before the Day of Judgement? Who is the Dajjal? When will the Mahdi appear? These and many questions are answered, on the basis of the Qur'an and Hadith, in this fascinating book. Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through the "lives:" before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the Resurrection, and finally, the Garden or the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life. The author lived at Tarim in the Hadramaut Valley between Yemen and Oman, and is widely held to have been the "renewer" of 12th Islamic century. A direct descendant of the Prophet, may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, he was a noted authority of the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence, and a writer on devotional matters, both in poetry and prose. His works have been translated into many languages.

Commentary on the Eleventh Contentions

In our age of globalisation and pandemic, how should we react to the new Islamophobic movements now spreading in the West? Everywhere the far right is on the march, with nationalist and populist parties thriving on the back of popular anxieties about Islam and the Muslim presence. Hijab and minaret bans, mosque shootings, hostility to migrants and increasingly scornful media stereotypes seem to endanger the prospects for friendly coexistence and the calm uplifting of Muslim populations. In this series of essays Abdal Hakim Murad dissects the rise of Islamophobia on the basis of Muslim theological tradition. Although the proper response to the current impasse is clearly indicated in Qur’an and Hadith, some have lost the principle of trust in divine wisdom and are responding with hatred, fearfulness or despair. Murad shows that a compassion-based approach, rooted in an authentic theology of divine power, could transform the current quagmire into a bright landscape of great promise for Muslims and their neighbours.
