Palestine Papers gives the vivid, inside story of the creation of the British Mandate of Palestine, formed with the divergent objectives of fostering Zionism and protecting the rights of the native Palestinians. This is history caught in the making: no rhetoric, no apology, no bomblast, just the original documents culled from the secret minutes of Cabinet meetings, and from telegrams and memos of ministers, generals, ambassadors and the Intelligence Services.

Evliya Celebi is the greatest travel writer of the Ottoman Empire, sometimes described as the Ottoman Herodotus. Born in 1611, he started traveling in 1640 (during the reign of Sultan Murad IV) and continued for over 40 years, eventually stopping in Cairo where he died in 1685.

This translation offers selections from Celebi’s 10-volume work for the first time in English and gives a taste of the Celebi’s interests, which range from architecture to natural history, through Sufism, politics, music, science and the supernatural. Celebi is a consummate storyteller and recounts the miraculous to the mundane with an intensely curious eye and inquisitive mind. Delightful.

Shaykh-ul Islam Tahir ul-Qadri

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

This historic 512-page fatwa is one of the most comprehensive condemnations of terrorism to date and deals a devastating blow to terrorist groups and its affiliates by removing decisively any remnant of theological justifications for terrorism. No longer can the terrorists and similar organisations employ Muslim scripture with impunity to advance the onslaught of civilians, be they non-Muslim or Muslim.

This work is a collection of travel writing celebrating friendship and the chance encounters that unexpectedly enrich our lives, which shows the diversity of the modern Islamic world and the way in which it continues to inspire, bemuse and enrich the Western imagination.
