Perle di saggezza profetica-Hadith scelti del Profeta Muhammad (pbsl)
Nella raccolta di hadith presentata in questo volume, la cui traduzione dall’originale arabo è stata curata dalla Dr.ssa Banti, sono state inserite le tradizioni del Profeta (pbsl) tratte prevalentemente dal Sahih Muslim e dal Sahih al-Bukhari. La scelta degli hadith è stata dettata dalla volontà di presentare presso il pubblico italiano una raccolta dei detti del Profeta (pbsl) che prediligesse il lato spirituale della sunna.
Gli hadith citati infatti trattano di temi quali: l’importanza di un corretto comportamento verso il prossimo, la natura del legame di fratellanza tra i credenti, l’importanza dei legami parentali e la misericordia di Dio. Purtroppo nel mondo contemporaneo, così come in epoca più antica, gli insegnamenti dell’Islam e quelli legati alla sunna del Profeta (pbsl) sono stati oggetto di fraintendimenti dovuti alle più diverse ragioni. Ci auguriamo quindi che questa pubblicazione, seppur della sua brevità, possa essere di beneficio per introdurre presso il pubblico italiano alcuni degli insegnamenti morali del Profeta dell’Islam, nell’interesse del dialogo, del reciproco rispetto e della convivenza civile tra le diverse fedi.

The Role of Sufism in Iqbal's Reconstruction of religious thought in Islam
The
Reconstruction of religious thought in Islam
is a very complicated philosophical reflection endowed with different
levels of interpretation. Due to its programmatic character, some of
the points of Iqbal philosophical speculation seem to be obscure
because of their density and the reference to both the philosophical
and spiritual tradition of Islam and the West.
However
I think that the key to interpret the text is the philosophic one,
even when there are several references to Sufism interpreted as a
direct experience of a close relation with the divine, which truly
speaking appear to be quite problematic in its nature. In the
Prefaction
Iqbal is critic towards the methods of traditional Sufism because
seems to be unable to fulfil the spiritual needs of man living in the
modern world: “The more genuine
schools of Sufism have, no doubt, done good work in shaping and
directing the evolution of religious experience in Islam; but their
latter-day representative, owing to their ignorance of the modern
mind, have become absolutely incapable of receiving any fresh
inspiration from modern thought and experience”.

Dr. Sabrina Lei
Converted
to Islam some years years ago, Dr Sabrina Lei, an Italian writer and
researcher, is one of the emerging Western Muslim scholars and
cultural activists. After getting a thorough grounding in Latin and
Greek, Dr Sabrina read philosophy at Rome’s La Sapienza University,
and got her research degree in philosophy, working on Wittgenstein’s
concept of time in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
in 2000. A few years later she went back to her academic research
again, and got a PhD in ancient philosophy. Dr. Sabrina Lei.
Currently working as Director of Tawasul, Centre for Research and
Dialogue, has published almost a dozen books on Islam and related
topics so far, including a study on the spiritual and medical
benefits of Salat (Muslim Prayer) and the Italian translations of the
works of some of the great Muslim scholars like Sheikh Naseruddin
Albani, Muhammad Al-Ghazzali, Muhammad Iqbal, Muhammad Asad, etc.
Dr
Sabrina has recently completed the Italian translation of the classic
and universally read 1934 English Quran translation of Abdullah Yusuf
Ali. Also, recently, she has completed the first volume of her book
into the life history of the Prophet (peace be upon him). This
insightful study on the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is
aimed at introducing the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his mission
to Western non-Muslims and academics as the fulfilment of the true
mission of the Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus (peace be upon them).
Along with classical Muslim sources on the life of the Prophet (peace
be upon him), the volume examines classical sources in Greek, Latin
and Hebrew to reveal the natural continuity of the mission of the
Prophet (peace be upon him) as the true completion of the earlier
heavenly revealed religions.
Dr
Sabrina argues for a mutually beneficial dialogue between the world
of Islam and the West. And her long-term aim is to create a new
Islamic discourse rooted in the humanistic principles of Islam,
accepting the diversity of human experience, as manifested in today’s
globalized world in the form of different religious and cultural
discourses.
