Universal Principles of Islamic Bioethics - Ali Al Qaradaghi - Bog - Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press - Plusbog.dk

Universal Principles of Islamic Bioethics - Ali Al Qaradaghi - Bog - Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press - Plusbog.dk

This study tackles two of the most important topics from an Islamic and human perspective. The first subject is medicine, which centres on human beings and the appropriate methods to maintain their physical and mental health, preserve progeny and provide the suitable treatment. Fulfilling this objective necessarily contributes to protecting property and wealth. Actually, both medicine and religion provide healing and mercy; however, religion is distinguished by a broader and more inclusive share of such mercy and healing. The Quran reads: "We send down the Quran as healing and mercy to those who believe" (Surat Al-Isra, 17:82).

His parents died when he was very young, and a note from his father is Timothee’s only connection to him.

Not long after he gets to California, a mysterious envelope containing a strange script arrives on his doorstep, setting Timothee on a path he never imagined in his wildest dreams. Inspired by Old Hollywood, this intriguing noir novel set in 1960s Los Angeles is the perfect escape.

Bridges not Barriers - Hamad Bin Abdulaziz Al Kawari - Bog - Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book reveals the intricacies of inter-civilisational relations between Northern and Southern countries and details the resultant mistreatment of Southern nations. It discusses the North''s centralizing and condescending approach that has greatly harmed both stability and peace in the modern world. Starting with the author''s own personal experience and proceeding to offer a succinct historical overview, the West''s blatant disregard for many contributions from other human civilizations - including the Arab-Islamic civilisation - appear in stark contrast. Having worked in the fields of diplomacy and culture for decades, the author aims to remind this generation of Arabs of their own heritage, hitherto overshadowed by conflicts and neglect of their role in building human civilization. The author calls for building bridges instead of erecting barriers and a completely new approach to relations between the North and the South; a message which resonates globally. "Bridges, not Barriers" is already in circulation in Arabic, German, French, Spanish and Farsi.

The Centrality of Middle Class - Khalid Al Jufairi - Bog - Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Centrality of Middle Class - Khalid Al Jufairi - Bog - Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press - Plusbog.dk

As the need for economic growth takes a salient role in the political discourse of society''s welfare and progress, the middle class, as a social grouping existing within socioeconomic structures, has a multiplier effect - politically and culturally. The middle class serves a vital role in supporting a country''s growth through stimulating economic development and promoting a politically engaged society. By examining Vietnam and Serbia as ideologically attuned countries which differ in economic development, the author draws on functionalist, dimensional paradigms to underline how critical the rise of middle class is in understanding the political stability of modern societies before concluding that society''s sub-social challenges and cultural determinants do affect the course of development and growth. This comprehensive study will appeal to social scientists with interests in political stability, ideological states and development narratives.
