A wealthy merchant, he constantly donated his wealth, enlarging the Medina mosque, buying a well for the people, feeding and equipping the army and helping the poor and needy.

Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (the Truthful) ranks among the most important and influential figures in Islamic history. Throughout his life he provided an exemplary example to all those around him. The other Companions admitted that no one could outdo Abu Bakr in exemplifying the true faith.

This book deals with the sources of Islamic jurisprudence and their importance in deducing the religious rulings. It covers the concept of ijtihad (independent reasoning), its conditions and application and illustrates why it is a practice for experts rather than laymen. It also explains the differences in the levels of expertise of the mujtahids. In fact, there are seven distinct classifications of mujtahid.The book also covers the communication of God as Lawgiver with regard to the conduct of liable persons. It details the difference in probative value of communication based on the extent to which it binds an individual be it absolutely binding, a recommendation or mere permissibility.The reader will be able to understand the difference between fiqh (law) and Usul al-Fiqh (methodology of law). Fiqh is the law itself whereas Usul al-Fiqh is the methodology utilized to extract the law. The relationship between the two disciplines resembles that of the rules of grammar to a language, or of logic to philosophy. Usul al-Fiqh in this sense provides the standard criteria for the correct deduction of the rulings of fiqh from the sources of Shari'ah (the Qur'an and Sunnah).

Journey to Noble Ideals is a compilation of speeches Fethullah Gulen delivered in Pennsylvania, USA, between 2012 and 2013. The book provides guidelines to build our individual ladders to self-discovery. In Gulen's prescription, climbing this ladder requires "e;lifelong contendedness,"e; "e;a spirit of chivalry,"e; "e;becoming soil to grow roses,"e; "e;balance and moderation,"e; "e;being self-critical,"e; "e;not to be dizzy with worldly pleasures,"e; and "e;sincerity of intention."e; Nourished from a millennium old accumulation of knowledge and tradition, Gulen speaks of preserving one's "e;chastity of thoughts"e; but not lagging behind, and instead soaring across the "e;horizons of spiritual knowledge."e; For Gulen, a healthy society is built on a "e;happy marriage,"e; observing the "e;rights of neighbors,"e; "e;sound reason,"e; and "e;asking for forgiveness."e; Above all, his faith rests on a firm belief that "e;God is sufficient"e; for all.This work will be a source of inspiration for all the travelers' journeying to noble ideals.

The heart in the Islamic understanding is the expression of a human beings spiritual existence. It is a Divine gift and Divine subtle faculty bestowed upon humanity. It is a polished mirror reflecting God. Like a general, the heart commands all other bodily organs and faculties, which are its troops, Everything that comes from a human being, whether good or bad, is a product of the heart. Mehmet Y. Seker, a scholar of Sufism and tasawwuf, studies the concept of the heart in the Islamic tradition looking at how it is approached by three prominent scholars and thinkers of Islam: Ghazali, Said Nursi, and Fethullah Gulen. Being the first in English to take as its focus the human heart from an Islamic spiritual, this book comparatively analyzes classical and modern age interpretations and evaluations on the concept and adds to the rich literature of spirituality in the Islamic tradition.
