Slippery Stone : An Inquiry into Islam’s Stance on Music
Highlights:
What does Islam say about poetry, singing, musical instruments, musicians, and the business of music? How have Muslim societies historically looked at these questions and how have their attitudes changed in the media age? Why have mosques remained music-free while churches have not? What is the truth about the much-publicized €œmusic controversy€ in Islam? Why did Sufis call sama as the slippery stone? These are some of the questions explored in-depth in Slippery Stone: An Inquiry into Islam’s Stance on Music.
Of late, increasing attempts are being made to promote €œIslamic music,€ and the distinction between what is allowed and what is not has become hazy and unclear for many. This book demystifies the issue of music in Islam by going to original source books in Arabic, many of them brought to light for the first time in the English language. It traces the attitudes of the Muslim society about music and the musician throughout its history and quotes extensively from the deliberations of the Qur’an and Hadith scholars and jurists from all schools of Islamic Law, both Sunni and Shi’ah. Separate chapters are devoted to a discussion of the views of Sufi masters as well as the arguments of Ibn Hazm.
It examines in considerable depth the impact of colonialism and the media revolution (beginning with the gramophone) on the attitudes of Muslim societies regarding music. It also subjects the works of Orientalists to a scrutiny that was overdue.
By referring to it as a slippery stone, Sufis vividly pointed out the dangers associated with this enterprise and emphasized the need for caution. History is filled with the corpses of those who fell off the slippery stone by ignoring this advice. Combining historic, cultural, and jurisprudential perspectives this book brings the truth of that metaphor into sharp relief.
More than six hundred references and more than a hundred twenty biographical notes on the authorities quoted add to the value of a discussion that is comprehensive without being boring, and detailed without being confusing. This book has left no stone unturned in its examination of the slippery stone.

The Benevolence of Islam in the Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah
Highlights:
Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him) said: «Allah loves the one who is lenient and kind in all matters.» Islam’s benevolence is seen best in the fact that it is, as a religion, a mercy of Allah to humankind. It was revealed to show people how to worship the Only True God, Allah, and to guide them in all their affairs by following the example of the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him). Islamic teachings are meant to ensure the happiness of all who follow them. The Benevolence of Islam explains that Islam is a way of life based on divine teachings such as kindness, equity, justice, and charity. Injunctions, permissions and even prohibitions aim to improve the quality of life for people by forbidding vice and commanding what is good. Saleem al-Hilâli tells us that committed, benevolent and kind-hearted Muslims are as one firm construction: all of them help one another to achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter. This delightful booklet was translated into English by Iman Zakaria Abu Ghazi.
