What are the hidden Qur’anic gems that lead to optimal faith, success, taqwa and overall health?

Allah has given us the answers. He has taught us how we eat, drink, sleep, behave and live – all to maintain perfect balance and harmony. And yet, when we disrupt Allah’s balance, we contribute to the global epidemic of lifestyle-based chronic diseases.

The latest evidence-based research shows that when we live according to the Qur’an and Sunnah, we can optimize our brain and body function, unlocking the secrets to optimal physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual health, and even save the planet.

Written by the renowned scholar Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad, ‘Women and Social Justice: An Islamic Paradigm’ is the collaborated effort of Institute of Policy Studies and The Islamic Foundation, UK. This monograph is an effort to understand the nature of gender issue in view of the gross misinformation about women’s issues in Pakistan and elsewhere. Referring to some basic assumptions about women’s status in the beginning, the book proceeds on to examine the social, moral and legal issues that are being debated in the contemporary society particularly in the context of the introduction of hudud laws in Pakistan. With the realization that the women situation is marred by injustice, the writer seeks out prescription from Islam while stressing the need to develop an Islamic paradigm that is based on Qur’an and Sunnah and takes into consideration the realities of life in contemporary Muslim society.

With a focus upon the social dimension of worship Maudoodi's original approach to religious ritual and self-purification considers worship's transformative role in social life, as well as on the spirit. This work offers an illuminating and unique study of the nature and significance of Islamic spirituality by a leading Muslim intellectual from the twentieth century.

Worship in Islam is an in-depth study of the nature and significance of Islamic spirituality by Syed Abul Ala Maudoodi, one of the leading Muslim intellectuals of the twentieth century, with special reference to the concepts of God’s Oneness (tawhid), the finality of Prophethood (risalah) and the Islamic system of worship (ibadah) and a focus upon prayer (salah) and fasting (ṣawm) and their role in the development of the Islamic personality and Islam’s social order. The distinguishing feature of Mawdūdī’s approach is his elaboration of the social dimension of worship, which extends the traditional approach found in Islamic jurisprudence, with its focus upon ritual and self-purification, to consider worship’s transformative role in social life. Presenting a holistic view of the Islamic system, Mawdūdī highlights Islam’s social, economic and political dimensions, which he argues have the capacity to resolve emergent issues and problems that humankind faces.

Edited and translated into accessible English by Ahmad Imam Shafaq Hashemi, this book is an authoritative compilation of a leading Islamic revivalist’s reflections upon the central matter of worship’s role in Islam. This historic text should be of wider interest to both students and specialists in contemporary Islamic thought, and includes an introduction by Professor Anis Ahmad.
