Commentary on the Eleventh Contentions

Review: Great Book - Very insightful Review: An ocean of knowledge for a cheap price - This little book (less than 200 pages) is a janus : on one hand, it represents a state of the art of neo-traditionnalism, with the question of the mutual discovery between modernity and the presence of a true islam (i-d profound) now in occident, with the necessary summary of their respective basis; on the other hand, it interrogates shaykh AHM's career and the standard of knowledge and understanding that modern muslim thinkers will have to achieve in order to be useful for the community (muslims and non muslims alike). My question, as a french, would be : what would have been the flavor of this book if the writer had been French ? (I realized that a work of "translation" from muslim british to muslim french has to be done, even if there is, of course, a part of common culture)

An ocean of knowledge for a cheap price

Most loved book
I have bought multiple of this book as gifts. Very deep treatment of many Muslim ideas at a very deep level. can be read over and over. Each page or two is an idea that needs lots of time to think about it. Love this book:)

this is a great supplement.
Hard ton find, deep yet accessible supporting values and attitudes of Islam are presented in this book of a hundred short commentaries. If you're curious about Islam, or wish to take your study further, this is a great supplement.

Beautiful, witty, elegent and a rare gem
Shaikh Abdal Hakim writes with incredulous encyclopedic references from theology, history, philosophy, literature, science and rationale to enhance and deliver lateral observations on present and past. This book is a rare jewel and must read. It is a gushing waterfall to sooth our soul in a world that is complex, entangled, confused, and competing to establish deviations as the norm. It is a reminder and pathway to maintain the beautiful and appealing message of Islam in a world where the very word is feared, reviled and despised.
