Key Concepts in the Practice of

SUFISM
EMERALD HILLS OF THE HEART VOL.4

M. Fethullah Gülen

who narrow religion to formalism on one hand and
victimized by practitioners unable to go beyond
traditional boundaries on the other, Islamic Sufism
continues to be a beacon enlightening the path
of millions of believers around the world. Gülen’s
approach to Sufism in this collection represents the
middle way, an approach that in a sense revives
the legacy of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, with an awareness of the social realities
of the twenty-first century. For Gülen, the marriage
of the heart and the mind is necessary for a sen-
sible appreciation of our existence and what we
are expected of. He does not confine himself with
any typical methodology; he endeavors to reach
the water source by opening wells everywhere,
for the truth is actually manifested in every single
creation and waiting for seekers’ drill. This fourth
volume of the Emerald Hills of the Heart collec-
tion concludes a journey—which is textually long,
but spiritually endless—towards insan al-kamil, the
perfect human, as unfolded stage-by-stage with an
escalating scale of concepts that have developed
throughout fourteen centuries on the basis of firm
roots established in the time of the Prophet by his
own practice. Concepts like Tranquility, Secret, Truth
of Divinity, Beyond the Physical Realms, Preserved
Tablet, Glorified Attributes, and Beautiful Names are
delicately explained in this volume.
M. Fethullah Gülen is a writer, a poet,
and a public speaker on issues related to Islam.

Prayer
and Healing in Islam
Salih Yücel
Praying for health is a significant Islamic custom alongside seeking medical treatment, and has become a
vital part of Muslim culture. There are two areas of focus in this book: the methodology and criteria of
praying for health, and the results of a study on the effect of prayer on Muslim patients’ well-being. This
study was conducted at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate
in Boston, MA. Twenty-Five Remedies, a work by prominent contemporary Muslim scholar Said Nursi,
included in this book, further enriches the scope of the subject of prayer and healing.

Dr. Salih Yücel is a lecturer in the Centre for Studies in Religion and Theology at Monash
University, Australia. He is also a consultant to Australian Intercultural Society and working
on a research about how dialogue can be promoted between Muslims and non-Muslims

Considered as a math novel, Chased by Numbers follows the adventures of 5 young teenage friends, who
must catch their spies before the spies catch them. Along the way, they keep each other entertained by
increasingly challenging math riddles. Chased by Numbers is a short, quick read where each chapter presents
a clever number trick that any student of math will find to be both interesting and educational. An appendix
at the back explains the tricks mathematically, offering teachers hands-on classroom activities. We feel this
book will be a huge benefit to math students, especially those aged 12-18, and enlightening to general math
aficionados.

Hakan Öztunç is one of the founders of the Niagara Learning Center in Chicago, IL. The author
won the best math book competition in Turkey, in two different categories, organized by the
Ministry of Turkish Public Education in 2005.

Written in prose but with a verse-like flavor, Gleams of Truth is a

collection of maxims by Bediüzzaman Said Nursi. Very concisely
articulated, these maxims expound on the key discussions of the

of this collection which was written years later than this volume. It
is filled with wise sayings that remove the veils on the mysteries of
human life, while offering strong evidence for God’s existence and
unity with thought-provoking on-the-target arguments against phi-
losophies of unbelief. Nursi wrote this volume around 1918s when

The Rays is one of the key volumes of the Risale-i Nur Collection. In

denial, for a single indication is enough for the former whereas an
exhaustive investigation of the entire cosmos and throughout all
times is necessary for the latter. He affirms that matters concerning

How to Live as a Muslim Series

The How to Live as a Muslim series is an essential guide for anyone who seeks to acquire an accu-
rate knowledge of Islam, as it elucidates all the facets of Islam with precise brevity in three volumes:
An Introduction to Islamic Faith and Thought, Living in the Shade of Islam, and Living the Ethics
and Morality of Islam, respectively. The first volume of the series delves into the heart of the matter,
presenting clearly the fundamentals and different aspects of Islamic faith. It makes an effort to peel
away the layers of what we think we know about Islam to reveal what Islam says about itself, and to
explain the pillars of the Islamic faith. It discusses Islam’s worldview, how we fit into it, and what God
expects of us. It explains why Prophets were sent to guide us to the truth, why the Qur’an is the best
guide for this journey, and how and why God equipped us to make this journey. Also examined in
detail are the Resurrection and the Afterlife, Divine Destiny, eschatology, death and the spirit after
death, and the invisible realm of existence.
Ali Ünal is a renowned scholar and a prolific translator of works with an Islamic theme into English. He has written
for many periodicals and is a columnist for Zaman Daily Newspaper.

Evolution
Science or Ideology?
İrfan Yılmaz

No one disputes the existence of gravity, air pressure or the expan-

sion of metals; rather, many physical events are explained by these
phenomena, which are expressed by formulas, and problems are
solved using such formulas. The idea of evolution is neither similar
to the laws of physics, nor does it have the character of being expe-
rienced by a person’s heart and soul.

Evolution: Science or Ideology aims to show how the theory of evolu-

tion has been abused to deny religious thought, and that the scientific
evidence set forth to prove it actually serves the opposite. In addition
to the English, Turkish and Russian editions are also available. ISBN: 9781597841184

Beware! Satan
Strategies of Defense

Mehmet Yavuz Şeker

Offering a perspective of the world as an arena of assessment

the struggle between man and his archenemy, Satan. The book
claims that success in life is based on knowing one’s enemies
and developing strategies. Discussing the attributes of Satan
and his methods of approach, this study references Satan’s most
obvious trait—his declaration of war on humankind—and notes
that his deception, whispers, trickery, and diabolical plots can
only be effective when human beings display weakness. The only
traditional prevention is to lead a pious life without leaving any gaps
for the attacks of Satan and his aids, but this examination presents
