Shia i Islam: Origins, Faith and Practices

by Mohammad A. Shomali

(London: Islamic College for Advanced Studies, 2003)

“Muslims are divided into two major groups: the majority is called Sunni and the second Shi’ite. What are the common features in virtue of which both groups are said to follow the religion of Islam? What are the fundamental differences in doctrine and practice between these two groups? Such questions are answered clearly and intelligently in this book by a Shi’ite theologian and philosopher. This book will be of interest to students of Islam and of religious studies generally.” (Dr. Legenhausen)

Love in Christianity and Islam: A Contribution to Religious Ethics

by Mrs. Mahnaz Heydarpoor

(London: New City 2002)

“Her analysis of love in Christianity is scholarly and insightful, but it will be her exposition of the centrality of love in Islamic theology and ethics that will be of particular interest to many western readers, Christians and others.

It is to be hoped that Mahnaz’s initiative will be reciprocated by many more scholars searching, like her, for grounds for dialogue to further mutual appreciation and understanding between Islam and Christianity.” (Dr. Denis Bates)

The same publication also includes a translation of one of the classical texts on the science of Hadith, Dira yat al-Hadith, by the renowned tenth-century scholar al- Shahid al-Thani.
