nejlíp snad všem,
který moc dobře vědí žít jak a proč..."

kdy každej natvrdo zjistí,
co udělal včas
a na co dávno zapomněl..."

"Čas království a říší Mukaddima" Ibn Chaldún (Odeon, 1972)

Obrázek
O málokteré významné osobnosti středověku, a to nejenom islámského, máme k dispozici tak podrobné a přesné zprávy jako právě o Ibn Chaldúnovi. Vděčíme za to především jemu samému, neboť zanechal vlastní biografii, lze říci, že Ibn Chaldúnova autobiografie je vůbec nejpodrobnější v celé islámské literatuře.  Abdarrahmán ibn Chaldún, severoafrický dějepisec, polyhistor a myslitel, se během pobytu na hradě Kal´at Ibn Saláma rozhodl sepsat dějiny světa, jejichž první vydání dokončil po sedmi letech práce (1375-1382) a až do konce svého života je doplňoval a zdokonaloval. Ibn Chaldún zamýšlel napsat dějiny těch národů a oblastí, s nimiž se islámský svět dostal do styku. Celý spis se skládá ze sedmi svazků: první díl "Úvod" (arab. Mukaddima), druhý až pátý díl obsahuje historii Arabů od dob před islámských až do Ibn Chaldúnovy doby. Hlavním přínosem Ibn Chaldúna pro arabskou a muslimskou historii je jeho výbor materiálu a jeho kritické hodnocení. Z historického hlediska jsou ne...

"An Islamic Response to Imperialism: Political and Religious Writings of Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani" Nikki R. Keddie (1968, University of California Press)

Obrázek
"Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani (1838-1897), the well known religious reformer and political activist, led a busy and complex life full of obscure and clandestine ventures. . . . [Keddie] draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources. In part I an attempt is made to provide an accurate biography and a consistent analysis of Afghani. Part II contains translations of some of his most important writings. . . Although Afghani was concerned with the wide ranging need for Islamic reform, he devoted most of his life to the more urgent political problems confronting Muslims--problems arising out of their weakness in dealing with the Western Christian powers. Hence the tide of this book. ........................ "An Islamic Response to Imperialism: Political and Religious Writings of Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani" Nikki R.

Mohammed Abed al-Jabri "Avoid the hudud Penalties when in Doubt" *

Obrázek
Since the modern Arab Awakening, which soon swept across the entire  Muslim world, with the efforts of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (d. 1897CE)  and Muammad ‘Abduh (d. 1905CE), the Muslim masses have used the  slogan of ‘application of Islamic shariah´ to propound to the masses,  the alternative which they hoped would take them to the enjoyment of a  free and honourable life.  Every member of the Muslim masses, all over the  world, aspires to the day when Islamic shariah will be applied in a manner  that can remove political and social injustice, realize freedom and dignity  for the human being, and pave the way to good deeds and noble  conduct in order for these principles to become the bases of life in Islamic  society, nay, in the whole of human society.

"The Autobiography of Malcolm X" Alex Haley (1965)

Obrázek
From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervour of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect. This autobiography (written with Alex Haley) reveals his quick-witted integrity, usually obscured by batteries of frenzied headlines, and the fierce idealism which led him to reject both liberal hypocrisies and black racialism.
