 Farhad Daftary, "Ismaili Sources, Studies, History and Traditions " English | ISBN: 9004743804 | 2025 | 324 pages | PDF | 9 MB Until recently, Ismailis were studied and evaluated almost exclusively on the basis of evidence often fabricated by adversaries. Thus, a variety of legends and misrepresentations circulated in Europe as well as among other Muslim communities regarding the teachings and practices of this Shiʿi Muslim community. With the access of modern scholars to numerous Ismaili manuscript sources, preserved in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Central Asia and India, a completely new image of the Ismailis has emerged. A leading authority in Ismaili studies, Farhad Daftary draws on the results of modern scholarship in the studies collected here on Ismaili history and aspects of Ismaili thought and traditions.  Islamic Insurance: A Modern Approach to Islamic Banking (Islamic Studies) By Aly Khorshid 2004 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0415311055 | PDF | 4 MB Some Muslims believe insurance is unnecessary, as society should help its victims. Muslims can no longer ignore the fact that they live, trade and communicate with open global systems, and they can no longer ignore the need for banking and insurance. Aly Khorshid demonstrates how initial clerical apprehensions were overcome to create pioneering Muslim-friendly banking systems, and applies the lessons learnt to a workable insurance framework by which Muslims can compete with non-Muslims in business and have cover in daily life. The book uses relevant Quranic and Sunnah extracts, and the arguments of pro- and anti-insurance jurists to arrive at its conclusion that Muslims can enjoy the peace of mind and equity of an Islamic insurance scheme.

Is Sex Necessary? Or, Why You Feel the Way You Do English | 14 Jan. 2026 | ASIN: B0GGS9HCV5 | 141 pages | EPUB (True) | 1.55 MB Is Sex Necessary? Or, Why You Feel the Way You Do (1929) is a brilliant satirical work that humorously dissects the popular psychological and social theories about sex, love, and human behavior prevalent in the early twentieth century. Written by E. B. White and James Thurber, the book adopts the tone of a mock scientific study, complete with absurd charts, invented terminology, and tongue-in-cheek definitions. Rather than offering genuine explanations, the authors parody the era's obsession with analyzing emotions through pseudo-scientific language. Topics such as romance, neurosis, marriage, passion, repression, and gender relations are treated with elegant irony and playful exaggeration. The humor lies in exposing how attempts to rationalize feelings often lead to confusion rather than clarity. The book does not aim to answer whether sex is "necessary" in any serious sense; instead, it mocks the cultural impulse to intellectualize what is fundamentally emotional and irrational. With sharp wit and understated elegance, White and Thurber critique modern society's faith in psychology as a universal explanatory tool. Enduringly fresh, Is Sex Necessary? remains a classic of American humor, celebrated for its intelligence, restraint, and timeless commentary on human relationships and emotional bewilderment.  Gregory W. Dawes, "Is Science Western?: An Inquiry" English | ISBN: 3032106400 | 2026 | 111 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book explores the question to what extent science is Western, whether in origin or by character. It aims to contribute to the debate regarding the relative status of local forms of knowledge (such as those found among indigenous peoples) and modern science. Advocates of local ways of knowing often contrast them with what they call Western science. Their opponents, on the other hand, insist that modern science is not merely Western, but universal. But there has been little discussion about what it would mean for science to be Western, let alone what evidence there is in support of the idea. The present book fills this gap, offering a middle path between what have become polarized views.  Iron Condor Strategy for Limited Risk Option Traders: MACD + EMA English | Dec 21, 2025 | ISBN: 9798233223785 | 149 pages | EPUB (True) | 1.56 MB Most option traders lose money not because they lack knowledge, but because they trade strategies with unlimited risk that wipe out months of gains in a single bad trade. You've probably experienced this yourself: selling naked options that looked safe until a gap opening destroyed your account, or buying directional options that expired worthless despite your conviction. The stress of undefined risk keeps you checking your phone constantly, wondering if this is the trade that ruins everything. Meanwhile, supposedly safer strategies like covered calls tie up massive capital for minimal returns that barely beat holding cash. |
