The sublimity of Muhammad's preaching in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevils the mind of the Musalmans.

This thought-provoking work, besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran, seeks to depict the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates.

More to the point, aided by "I'm Ok - You're Ok", the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller's "Muslim Friends-Their Faith and Feeling", this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which has the potential to turn a faithful and a renegade alike into a fidayeen. 

Also, apart from delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the politics of the day, this book examines how the sanãtana 'Hindu' dharma came to survive in India, in spite of the combined onslaught of Islam and the Christianity on Hinduism for over a millennium. 

This book is for those who wish to be aware of the follies of their faith and the foibles of others to lighten the burden of dogma and reduce the baggage of prejudice postulated in its thirty-five well-structured chapters.

Also, besides providing a panoramic view of the Indian history, this thought-provoking book appraises the way Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Ambedkar, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi et al made or unmade the post-colonial India. 

Possibly in a new genre, this free ebook is a book for our times.All Rights Reserved

Whispers Of The Heart by authorsamara

Her knees felt weak. She sat down on the last stairs. By now, the voices in her head had subsided, and her mind felt blank. With her racing heartbeat, dishevelled hair, and beads of sweat running down from her forehead, her state looked terrible. A drop of tears fell on her cheeks. Her hands went to her cheeks and collected that drop. She didn't know why she was crying. It wasn't that she dearly loved that man. But there was something that made her feel numb. Maybe it was the relationship they had. It suddenly felt as if the world had left her bare. It had taken away the last relationship she had. Now, she had nowhere to go. ****** Ever heard of polar opposites? They are the living examples. Dinayah Usman is a sweet soul with a kind heart and a mind that always supports the right. Her faith in Allah is the strongest. Arham Qureshi is anything but right. A complete playboy who lives on parties and doesn't care about anyone but himself. He is an atheist. These contrasting people have nothing that binds them together. But life rolls the dice, and Dinayah lands with Arham as his only support. What circumstances force her to take help from him? Will he genuinely help her or just use her? Delve into this story to know how destiny unfolds in the most unexpected ways.

Escaping Ethan's Clutches (Ruining Innocence Vol 1) by shaziyakhanwrites

"Now why don't you start telling me, what that motherf**ker was doing at your house yesterday...?" "Ethan, please..., I-" she let out, despite the throbbing ache. "Here's the thing, cara mia," he snarled in her ear, his hot breath hitting her skin like that of a scalding iron rod, "I don't tolerate opponents, I destroy them. So, listen to me and believe me when I say, I'm going to ruin him so bad that he will curse the day he was born and curse the day he laid his unworthy eyes on you. And this is a f*cking promise!" ~~~ HE WAS UNHINGED; SHE WAS HIS ELIXIR HE WAS ADDICTED; SHE WAS HIS DRUG HE WAS WISTFUL; SHE WAS HIS FANTASY At seventeen, moving to a new place, to Queensland, was supposed to entail a fresh beginning for Maryam Dias and her mother. A sanctuary for healing. A hiding place from the memories of what was lost. But for Maryam, it was just the beginning of a new hazard and unfortunate misery awaiting at her doorstep. And this time, escaping may just be out of her hands. Queensland, Australia is ruled by the Mafia families, and Ethan Russo just so happens to be the son of the most powerful Mafia Don. When Ethan sees her, he wants to keep her, restrained, isolated, and at his mercy, away from all prying eyes. With emotions that borderline obsession and eyes that promise her of insanity, there is no escape for Maryam, as she becomes a mere spectator while he ruins her life and her, caging her and molding her to his heart's desire. What is she to do when all odds are against her and the haven she sought after happens to be a playground for the Mafia ruler's son? Will her prayers for a life of freedom ever come true? If yes, then at what cost...? Trigger warning: violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, racism, substance abuse, and self-harm. The book is DARK, DARK, and DARK. This contains both Book 1 (completed) and Book 2 of Ruining Innocence series. ~~ Join my patreon page for faster and earlier updates: patreon.com/shaziyakhanwrites

What Not To Do When You're In Love by ajeeb-bandi

Depressed and exhausted almost all the time, she still tries to love her husband and fulfil her duties as a wife and daughter-in-law. But marriages are nothing less than a battlefield around here. Trapped in a household where unwarranted criticism and tireless labour are the norm, she soon finds her patience running out. To survive, she must learn to keep afloat in the tough waters of mental illness and emotional abuse, holding on to the rope of the deen. © copyright Zainab Alam, 2017. // previously: Some Pain To Write I've renamed it quite a few times, and changed my own name and username. So sorry for the confusion. This book has dramatic writing, with a sad theme. It is about a lot of the cultural abuse women go through in this part of the world. It is not just another marriage story.

Dua Shah the innocent girl with a devastated life. Never loved by anyone from her family. She lost her mother in early age. She lives with her father and her stepsister ayesha. Who can't stand dua. An incident occurred which took away ayesha's mother recently for which she blames dua. A enforced marriage led her into armaan's life. Armaan rizvi, the young handsome and rich guy. Every girl's dream man. But unlike other guy's who take it for granted armaan is known for his calm nature. He appears in dua's life. Breaks her shell and helps her stand for herself. And finally falls for her even though he loved somebody else. ~~~~~~ "So where is that girl who said never in this life I am gonna marry a person like you." Armaan said putting his hands in his pockets. "Just consider yourself lucky. Armaan rizvi." Said dua with her challenging eyes. Hearing his name from dua was sounding somewhat different to him. "Lucky me. You should be considering yourself lucky that I agreed on this. And why don't you simply say that you can't deny this thing." Armaan said pointing at himself. A laugh left dua and she shook her head at him. Armaan liked her laugh and a smile appeared on his face seeing dua laugh. "What ever makes you sleep at night." She said. ~~~~~~ This book has its own loop holes. The character are muslim but do not necessarily preach islamic practices. I basically am stuck with the phenomenon of romance. Made for each other is a perfect book for someone who is looking for a happy ending romance novel. It also has a hit of mystery, jealously, thrill, family issues and lies. Hope the audience is 15+...

Anfal's Ibtihaj ✔ by gulle_jana

" I do!!" She said in shaky tone. It was still unbelievable for her that her dad made her deal with a Mafia king just for some pennys. She could see the smirk of her ownership in his eyes and a golden cage in which she will have to spend her rest of life. _______________ "Let's see how will you wear all these shameless clothes in my house!!" He said throwing glowing match stick on a pile of clothes in front of him. She was looking at him with wide eyes. "Hey..Stop!!!" She tried to stop him but he yanked her away making her fall on ground. "Remember that I am not your fucking Hassan who will bear all your these shitty tantrums!! This is my house and here follows the rules I, Ibtihaj Ibrahim Usmani makes!!!" He said clenching her jaw. ______________ She was an innocent soul. He kills mercilessly. She was an independent bird. He used to cage birds. He hates her dressing. She hates everything about him. Both were loathing each other's existence not knowing that Allah has bounded them the day they were born till the day of judgement. A story of a girl who never gave a damn about religion. Fashion was her life but there came a point in her life when she wanted to change but the thought disturbed her was that will Allah forgive her??
