Heidegger and the Media, authored by: David Jankel - Paul A. Taylor, translated by: Mustafa Hendi, number of pages: 200 pages, size: 17 by 24 cm. Download the summary: From here. In 1889, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger was born, and he died in 1976 at the age of 86. After leaving significant marks on Western philosophy, away from metaphysical, theological, and epistemological discussions, but rather focusing on questions and discussions (ontological) about existence and being or the (Dasein). His style was sometimes difficult as he posed questions and often responded with questions, but his deep philosophical influence especially from the mid-20th century onwards cannot be denied. Despite academic focus on his intellectual legacy influenced by his involvement in Nazi activity for a period, ignoring him diminishes many benefits and insights in scholarly studies. From here, authors (David Jankel) and (Paul A. Taylor) decided to refocus the spotlight on one of Heidegger’s most important topics related to the communication revolution we have today, namely his deconstructive approach to media, especially his view of language and its influence on media, as well as Heidegger’s concept of Dasein and its impact on his view of mass media and digital culture. They also emphasized Heidegger’s view of existence and his future predictions regarding media development. Equivalence of Evidence, a doctrinal study on the basis of skeptical thought and agnosticism, authored by: Dr. Samia bint Yaseen Al-Badri, number of pages: 200 pages, size: 14 by 21 cm. Download the summary: From here. A question lingered in my mind and I kept it in my memory for many years, when I first heard the concept of agnosticism. I asked about its meaning for clarification, and I was surprised: scolding my question, and I received the question with a question, why do you ask such a question? Instead of clarifying and guiding to study the concept, the question clung to my memory. My question was about the nature of the concept to clarify its images; to understand its contexts in which it appears, because studying concepts is a fundamental basis for understanding issues, especially in the field of doctrinal studies, and perhaps the novelty of the concept is significant. My reprimand for asking about the concept of agnosticism did not erase the question from my memory; the question kept searching, exploring, and extrapolating the concept of agnosticism, accompanying me in everything I see or hear, until I came across the concept of the equivalence of evidence in Ibn Hazm’s chapter, which was a land previously left unplowed for cultivation. The memory of the question returned to seek the meaning of the equivalence of evidence, exploring its depths, along with the concept of agnosticism, and other related concepts. I relied on God, my Lord, and strengthened my resolve to write these lines of study, striving in its sections and editing its lines, hoping that God guides me to the straight path. The Prophetic Speech, its facts and proofs, between the predecessors and opponents, authored by: Dr. Afnan bint Hamad Muhammad Al-Ghammas, number of pages: 438 pages (2 colors), size: 17 by 24 cm. Download the summary: From here. Despite clarifying its impact and strength, some people openly oppose the prophetic speech, attempting to belittle, attack, and cast doubt. Throughout Islamic history, many questions have arisen that we will address in responses, such as: Is the revelation established as true without doubt or suspicion for the Prophet ﷺ? Has the infallibility of the Prophet ﷺ been established? Did the Prophet ﷺ deliver the complete message? Did the Prophet ﷺ clarify the religion, or did he delay clarification until needed? To what extent was the Prophet’s knowledge, eloquence, and guidance to the nation complete? Is the prophetic message clear and explicit? Or does it show contradictions and conflicts? Do the texts of Sharia encompass all the actions of the accountable? Are they sufficient and independent, or do they need others to complete them? What is the relationship between text and reason? Is apparent contradiction in texts of Sharia a real contradiction or only apparent? What is the duty regarding texts that seem to conflict? Are the words of God and His Messenger ﷺ binding proof that must not be contradicted? Are there hidden meanings in the Quran known only to select people? How valid is the claim that some Quranic texts are missing or altered, or that their meanings are only known by guardians and saints? How reliable is the Sunnah? Are the evidences of Sharia uncertain and do not lead to certainty? Is it possible to interpret the Quran and Sunnah according to scientific data? Is the prophetic message a human product with an expiration date, subject to rejection, criticism, and modification to suit the era? The Forbidden Prophecies, Abu Zakaria the Briton, translated by: Salma El-Sharqani, 224 pages. Download the summary: From here. Throughout history, claims of predicting the future have appeared, from civilizations like the Mayans to individuals like Nostradamus. Since prophecy is a sign in religion of prophethood and connection with God, this book will investigate the truth of the most famous predictors and compare them with the prophecies of Muhammad, then present predictions that herald the coming of the final Prophet, which some deliberately prohibit and hide. The New Unbeliever Narrative, Fiction, Philosophy, and Dialectics, September 11, authored by: Arthur Bradley - Andrew Tait, translated by: Saada Magdy, number of pages: 180 pages, size: 17 by 24 cm. Download the summary: From here. When the writings of the new wave of atheism spread after the September 11 bombings, their topics opposing reason and instinct were characterized by epic literary style, deliberately used by their writers to lend credibility and suggest strength of argument, even sanctity, to their books, which atheists considered as alternatives to religious texts! This style sparked the interest of many new atheists, with an understanding of the influence of storytelling on the general public, especially regarding aspects that do not align with logic and scientific materialism... such as imagination, beauty, literature, feelings, and morals, which are values that are reintroduced to the reader but with a secular flavor away from religion. Thus, the arena was opened for new atheists to use novels and the potential to distort religions and deities, where events are woven from the writer’s imagination and destinies are directed as they wish. The authors review the most famous works of four novelists: (Ewan McEwan), (Martin Amis), (Philip Pullman), and (Salman Rushdie).
