 This Month's Reading recommendations Slide We are now pleased to announce our first publication authored by Hisham Hauari. It is an engaging poem that tells the tale of mankind from the beginning to the present. Though a true history, it is fused with an Islamic account of some things that may not be historically demonstrable. The book evokes various emotions: a pleasure to read, interesting and also grim. The seeds of the idea to write an historical account of humanity had been sown in the author’s mind over a decade ago. The result is the culmination of a succinct book called The Chain.

Praise for the book:

“A poem of Miltonian proportions...”
Dr. Mahmoud Khalifa, South Valley University, Egypt

“I would invite the reader to enjoy and appreciate the poem The Chain and benefit from the wisdom that it contains.”
Dr. Mahmudul Hasan, Assoc. Prof., International Islamic University, Malaysia
Alhamdulillah, the Islamic Literary Society is pleased to announce its first publication. Click Here

FEATURED REVIEW

REVISITING ‘WOMEN EMPOWERMENT’ VIS-À-VIS ISLAM

The title ‘Return of the Pharaoh’ has historical significance. The Pharaoh in the title refers to Gamal Abdel Nasser. The policies of Gamal Abdel Nasser toward Islam and its principles are likened to the policies of Pharaoh towards Musa’s (may Allah be please with him) call. The ‘Return of the Pharaoh’ is a representation of the suffering that Egyptians experienced under Nasser. This suffering is like the suffering Bani Israel (Children of Israel) experienced under the Pharaoh.
