Produktbeschreibung

Being tested in the post-modern era is not easy. Maybe it is not as difficult as being a Muslim in the Meccan era, but the era we live in has its own unique challenges. Muslims of this era are probably accepting that Allah (swt) is an Ilah (-Deity/God) more easily. But they are experiencing great difficulty in accepting that Allah (swt) is the One and the Only Ilah, and to reject Ilahs other than him. People, even people who say, 'I believe in Allah.' are seeking the meaning of life in search engines, social media, TV shows, Hollywood productions, their bank accounts, career paths, teams they support, music they listen to, getting wasted, nightlife, shopping malls, fashion, politics, 'Isms,' mindfulness, yoga, flow, meditation sessions, chasing power, chasing love, chasing their desires, the darkness of traditions, the uncertainty of the future, sufi monasteries, the doorsteps of their sheikhs, kandil nights, Christmas celebrations, TV shows of religious (!) showmen, chaotically written religious (!) books, legends and fairy tales they heard here and there, in places that, briefly, they will never be able to find. People are bringing the Qur'an into their homes and hanging it in the highest place possible, so that it is hard to reach, hard to read... Is it because Islam is not enough for Muslims? Is it because there is a lack of knowledge about Islam? Perhaps it is a psychological reflection of the complex mixed with admiration in Islamic lands for the centers of 'Isms'. Maybe it is an emotional result of our inability to fill the great void we feel inside with Islam. Life is Just a Test is challenging contemporary Muslims to ask the right questions that shape their faith before it is too late, drawing a roadmap to embrace and live true Islam. Written with sincere love for my brothers and sisters, it is not an easy book. Because true love is not entertaining our loved ones with the easy lie but warning them with the hard truth. Who I am is of little consequence, but I pray that what I write, Insha Allah, might have meaning and some impact. I am an emerging writer who recently published my first book, Life is Just a Test. I hold a Ph.D. in Culture and Literature, with a particular focus on the Meccan era of Islam and its contemporary reflections. With over 20 years of professional experience in various roles that I've been fortunate to enjoy, I've had the opportunity to turn this experience into comparative studies. I believe that this life, which we experience only in limited dimensions through our senses, is a test, nothing but a test and just a test. My purpose in this temporary existence is to observe, comprehend and write about this reality, with the hope of revealing the true essence of Islam in the process. Yet, Allah (swt) knows best, and we know nothing at all. 'We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and crops, but give good tidings to the patient.' -Al-Baqarah, 155
