Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
By: Carlo Rovelli
These seven "short lessons" guide us, with admirable clarity, through the scientific revolution that shook physics in the twentieth century and still continues to shake us today. In this short, playful, entertaining and mind-bending introduction to modern physics, Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind. In under one hundred pages, readers will understand the most transformative scientific discoveries of the twentieth century. Not since Richard Feynman's celebrated best-seller Six Easy Pieces has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed. Carlo Rovelli is an eminent physicist with an extraordinary ability to write about complex topics in a lucid, clear prose

Introduction to Shii Dates
This database is a result of my interest in studying Shiʿi generations of scholars (ṭabaqāt lit. layers) which record their biographical information arranged in a specific order. Over a period of years, I collected and arranged, for my personal reference, a work-in-progress list of Shiʿite scholars spanning fourteen centuries arranging them in chronological order of the year of their death. I had two primary aims: first, to acquaint myself with the senior and contemporary colleagues of a given scholar and second, to examine the intellectual milieu in which a particular scholar was trained to further decipher what informed her thoughts, in which discussions she engaged and who was her potential interlocutors? This collection has been a point of reference for my various research works. Hoping that it shall benefit others too, I am making it accessible for my colleagues. A special thanks to Professor Robert Gleave for sponsoring this venture through LAWALISI project.

This thesis explores the connection between gravity and thermodynamics and provides a unification scheme that opens up new directions of exploration. Further elaborating on the Hawking effect and the possibility of singularity avoidance, the author not only discusses the information loss paradox at a broader level but also provides a possible solution to it. As the final frontier, it describes some novel effects arising from the microscopic structure of spacetime.
Taken as a whole, the thesis addresses three major research areas in gravitational physics: it starts with classical gravity, proceeds to the black hole information loss paradox, and closes with Planck scale physics. The thesis is written in a lucid and pedagogical style, with an introduction accessible to researchers from other branches of physics and a d
iscussion presenting open questions and future directions, which will benefit and hopefully inspire next-generation researchers.

Haadi Macaarem:
This monograph constitutes the first social and doctrinal history of shaykhism in the Qajare era (1786-1925), which, along with osulism, akhbarism and finally Shiite Sufism, has been one of the main currents for two centuries. Duodecimal Shiism. The author, who has resided for a long time in Iran to carry out his research, has plunged into the original sources of shaykhism to study its religious, political and social role . The book proposes to synthesize the doctrines developed by the Shaykhie School, to make understand the history of its origins and the modes of its implantation on the Iranian territory, to evaluate the daily interaction of its members with the surrounding society and to analyze the positions of his masters on the main political and religious upheavals that Qajare society knew.
To work on the social and doctrinal history of a given group is also to apprehend a period through a necessarily singular testimony. Thus, this work is also a contribution to the history of Iran during the Qajare period.
Denis HERMANN is a researcher at CNRS. A historian and specialist on Iran, he is particularly interested in the intellectual and social history of Shiism in the Qajare era and the Iranian constitutional movement of 1906-1911.

Salafi Social and Political Movements: National and Transnational Contexts, edited by Masooda Bano, Edinburgh, Edinburgh University Press, 2021.
Muammer İskenderoğlu
Salafi movements, despite their limited following, seem to take a major share in the discussions of Islamic movements. This edited book, which emerged from a set of conference papers read at the ‘Future of Salafism’ conference held in Oxford in 2018, is one of the recently published works in the field that present discussions and developments within contemporary Salafism. It consists of ten articles, arranged under three parts: changes in Salafi thought, Salafi movements on the ground, and Salafi jihadism and inter-group competition.
In her introduction (1-24), Masooda Bano points to contemporary developments within Salafi movements and their link with the changing priorities of Saudi Arabia, the main sponsor of Salafi networks around the world. These justify the need for a new detailed analysis of the origin and the development of the Salafi movement, its core principles, its relationship with Saudi Arabia and Wahhabism, and its criticism by rival movements.
Since Salafism claims to represent timeless truth, it seems contradictory to discuss changes in Salafi thought. Articles in Part 1 bring this out in connection with issues such as social conservatism, the definition of tawḥīd, and loyalty to the ruler. In Chapter 1 (27-43), Hazim Fouad tries to examine briefly how the Salafi claim to represent authentic Islam is challenged by other Sunni groups, namely the traditionalist belonging to the four Sunni legal schools and Māturīdī and Ashʿarī theology, Sufis, modernist and reformists, the challenge of each of which deserves detailed examination. He finds that, in their critique, while traditionalists and Sufis use theological arguments, modernists make more use of sociological arguments because of their critical stance towards the classical Islamic sciences. These groups differ in their criticism of Salafism not only in their argumentational method but also in their interpretative approaches, so there is no unified front of critics.
In Chapter 2 (44-60), Masooda Bano presents the findings of her fieldwork in Saudi Arabia to evaluate the nature and extent of societal change and understand Wahhabi scholars’ responses to it. She argues that the speedy social changes that were announced by the Saudi state without seeking religious legitimization are an indication of a major push-back against Wahhabi prescriptions, and of the weakening power of religious scholars. Instead of raising their voices, Wahhabi scholars are content with the teaching of the Wahhabi creed, which they still control. But most of the issues in Wahhabi belief and practice are subject to criticism among the Salafi scholars. Bano briefly shows how Hatim al-Awni from Saudi Arabia and Yasir Qadhi from the USA use the Salaf method to question these beliefs and practices but reach different conclusions.
Chapter 3 (61-85) addresses the change in the Salafi understanding of obedience to the ruler. Usaama al-Azami examines how, in the wake of the Arab revolutions, the classical Salafi understanding of obedience and rebellion has become a highly contested issue. He discusses the issue as set out in the writings of Muhammad al-Dadaw and Salman al-Awda, two prominent Salafi scholars who supported the Arab revolutions, together with reference to Abdallah bin Bayyah, a non-Salafi scholar who opposed them. Azami finds Bin Bayyah akin to being a party spokesperson rather than an independent authority, working for the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
The articles in Part 2 present cases studies of Salafi movements in Morocco, Egypt and Kuwait. In Chapter 4 (89-113), Guy Robert Eyre examines the quietist scholastic Salafism represented by Muhammad b. Abdul Rahman al-Maghraoui since the Arab uprisings.
“Whosoever spends his mornings an a state of sincere devotion for forty days than the spring of wisdom will flow from his heart into his tongue”
To perform a fortieth is not particular to this month (of dhi’qadah), however the issue of fortieth coincides with in an important event that unfolded for prophet Musa (a) and he had a special presence during these days. Hence the scholars (ulama) pay more attention for these day and also for the month of Rajab, Sha’ban and Ramadan for those who are of self purification and spirituality.
Mirza Jawad Agha Malik Tabrizi (r) in his noble book al muraqabaat mentions that the first benefit that we can achieve from this special month of haram is that we must not go against the Will of God. Our nafs which naturally desires to go against God’s Will must be fought and in the like manner how fighting/war is haram in this month with kuffar, we must stop fighting God by going against His desires.
🎯 Our Responsibilities in this Fortieth (1st of Dhi’qadah to 10th of Dhill’hijjah)
⚓ First and foremost in this fortieth is that one must focus on sincerity (ikhlas) and sincerity in action (ikhlas in Amal) and fulfilment of obligatory acts ( anjam e wajibaat) and abandoning prohibited acts (tark al Maharim)
⌛ Watchfulness (muhasibah) of the soul (nafs)
👉🏽 what is of value and importance in the forty days is
# one must check / test oneself that ‘am I really performing the obligatory acts and avoiding the prohibited acts or not?’
🔵 certainly the scholars of the path do tend to encourage and provide with certain recommended actions to be carried out which are beneficial for the spirit and soul in order to refine the soul. They also make them aware of corrupt characters (radha’il) and one must look into this in depth
🔷 these 40 days provides an opportunity for one to avoid and tame these corrupt & evil (radha’il) characters such as jealousy, arrogance and many more ......
◼ another issue is being away from sins and from those who commit them (the ahl ma’siyah)
Some tend to miss-use this issue of fortieth, for instance the sufies and promote that one must stay home in some corner and carry out certain practices and avoid all social activities. This kind of approach is not encouraging or not seen in the Islamic Shari’ya. If I don’t engage in the society then I will not have a presence in public and I will not be able to find out how much am I really obliged and dedicated to the shari’ya
🔶what is of value for the pure shari’ya is the God consciousness (taqwa), faith (iman), our actions in-line with the commands of the shari’ya. The first and foremost is fulfilment of wajid(obligatory acts) and leaving haram ( prohibited acts), as the masters of the path have mentioned that even one sin throw him off or he will be tossed.
2 points:
1. To sit a fortieth with the above points are very effective, however one must see in the fortieth what is our takleef (responsibility)
2. One must focus with whom are we in touch with and who is giving a priscribtion (dastoor ‘amal) that is beyond the shari’yah
🏽 another advice of this month is the prayers of tawba which we got it from the Prophet of Islam. This is to be perform on a Sunday, however it can also be perform in other months and days as well. Hence the recommendation side of it is not limited to this month or a Sunday

❇️The Teacher and the Cross-eyed student
“A teacher told a cross-eyed boy one day,
‘Go fetch for me a bottle straight away!’
The boy returned, ‘Which bottle did you mean
Of that exactly matching pair I’ve seen?’
The teacher said, ‘There’s only one you fool!’
Have you not learned to add up yet at school?’
The boy protested, ‘Sir don’t laugh at me!’
The teacher said, ‘Try smashing one to see!’
A single bottle looked to him like two
But when one broke, both vanished from his view!
When he smashed one the other broke as well,
Desire can make you cross-eyed in its spell!
And lust and rage doesn’t just affect your sight,
They agitate your soul, set it alight
Virtue’s forgotten when your heart feels lust,
Veils block your heart and eyes like layers of dust,
So when a judge let’s bribery win his heart,
He can’t tell guilt and innocence apart.”
📚“Rūmī: the Masnavi Book one” trans. Jawad Mojaddedi” P.24
@AbodeofWisdom
“Whoever recognizes his own faults
Towards perfection rapidly then vaults,
But if you think you're perfect as you are,
You won't reach God for you have strayed too far
Imagining you're perfect is the worst
Of faults, you show-off learn this lesson first!
Much blood will flow out from your heart and eyes
Before your self-conceit completely dies,
Claiming, 'I'm better’ was cursed (and) Satan's error,
And this same defect lies in every creature:
Although they like to show themselves as meek,
There's dung beneath the surface- smell the reek,
When, as a test, the Lord should stir them round,
Their water then immediately is browned,
There's dung in your stream's bed that you've not seen
And to your eyes the stream looks pure and clean!”
📚Rumi verse 3225-3230
