In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.The main purpose of this book is to appeal to the reader's interest in a subject that has been the theme of many writers and can never be exhausted, because it is eternally interesting to all humans. This is a book that depicts the struggle of humans under the opposing influences of good and evil.In every moment of our lives, there exists an unseen battle, one fought not with swords or shields, but within the depths of our hearts and minds. It is a struggle between the forces of good and evil, each vying for our allegiance, whispering in our ears, guiding our thoughts, and influencing our actions.From the moment a child takes their first breath, they are assigned two unseen companions: one an angel, the other a devil. These two beings represent the eternal struggle that every human faces in their journey through life. The angel whispers words of virtue, righteousness, and mercy, guiding the heart toward light and truth. The devil, on the other hand, urges selfishness, temptation, and sin, leading the soul toward darkness and destruction.The choice, however, is not forced. It is left to us, the human beings, to decide whose whispers we will heed. We are endowed with intellect and will, the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and the free will to make decisions that shape our destinies. But it is not an easy path, for the struggle is constant, and the heart is often swayed by the complexities of life.This book delves into this profound inner conflict, exploring the powerful influence of angels and devils on human behavior. Drawing upon the sacred verses of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), we seek to understand the nature of these influences and how they guide or mislead us in our pursuit of truth and righteousness.Through this exploration, I invite you, the reader, to reflect on your own journey. To whom are you listening: the whispers of your angel or the whispers of your devil? How do you navigate the complexities of your choices, and how can you strengthen your connection to the divine light that leads to peace and salvation?May this book serve as a reminder that, no matter the struggle, the path to goodness is always within reach for those who choose it. And that with every decision we make, we can be guided by the wisdom, mercy, and love of Allah Almighty.Ahmed Tolba

Overcoming Orientalism: Essays in Honor of John L. Esposito
Orientalism is the term applied to scholarship that reduces Islam and Muslims to stereotypes of ignorance and violence in need of foreign control. It has been used to rationalize Europe's colonial domination of most of the Muslim world and continued American-led interventions in the post-colonial period. In the past 30 years it has been represented by claims that a monolithic Islam and equally monolithic West are distinct civilizations, sharing nothing in common and, indeed, involved in an inevitable "clash" from which only one can emerge the winner. Most recently, it has appeared in Alt Right rhetoric. Anti-Muslim sentiment, measured in public opinion polls, hate crime statistics, and legislation, is reaching record levels. <p/>Since John Esposito published his first book nearly 40 years ago, he has been guiding readers beyond such politically charged stereotypes. The essays in this volume highlight the contributions of scholars from a variety of disciplines who, like -- and often inspired by -- John Esposito, recognize the misleading and politically dangerous nature of Orientalist polarizations. They present Islam as a multi-faceted and dynamic tradition embraced by communities in globally interconnected but substantially diverse contexts over the centuries. The contributors follow Esposito's lead, stressing the profound commonalities among religions and replacing Orientalist discourse with holistic analyses of the complex historical phenomena that affect developments in all societies. In addition to chapters focusing on diversity among Muslims and interfaith relations, this collection includes chapters assessing the secular bias at the root of Orientalist scholarship, and contemporary iterations of Orientalism in the form of Islamophobia.
