A Garden of Islam. Conversation with Tariq Ramadan: Challenges Faced by Muslim Women. This lecture/interview is a crucial wake-up call to examine how Muslim women are being treated socially and interpretively within the Muslim tradition. Professor Tariq Ramadan discusses crucial issues that are not only being used as instrumentation of anti-Islamic propagandists, but are also projected within Muslim societies and classical scholarship..

A Garden of Islam. On Transience and Continued Existence. To him, these were convincing arguments, but he noticed that his attempts to console the poet and his sympathetic friend did not make a remarkable impression upon them. He soon realized that there was an emotional factor which was affecting the two, and this is the revolt in their minds against mourning. But what causes the pain that results in mourning that these two individuals are wanting to avoid? The doctor whom I had been referring to is a V...

A Garden of Islam. Grief, Authenticity and Hope: A Reflection from the Story of Prophet Jacob.
