Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-183) and index.The road to understanding polygyny -- Agency and authority in polygyny -- Religious and experiential prescriptions -- Legalities and emotional well-being -- Imam Mohammed's commentary on polygyny -- Mental health and living polygyny -- Afterword: Muslim womanist praxis and polygyny.Debra Majeed's ethnography of contemporary African American Muslim polygyny illuminates the varieties of and struggles within a type of family whose form and function is contrary to U.S. civil law. This book features the voices of women who welcome polygyny, oppose it, acquiesce to it, or even negotiate power in its practices. Majeed examines the choices available to African American Muslim women who are considering polygyny or who are living it. She calls attention to the ways in which interpretations of Islam's primary sources are authorized or legitimated to regulate the rights of Muslim women. Highlighting the legal, emotional, and communal implications of polygyny, Majeed encourages Muslim communities to develop formal measures that ensure the welfare of women and children who are otherwise not recognized by the state.

Martin Lings? life of Muhammad is unlike any other. Based on Arabic sources of the eighth and ninth centuries, of which some important passages are translated here for the first time, it owes the freshness and directness of its approach to the words of men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life. Martin Lings has an unusual gift for narrative. He has adopted a style which is at once extremely readable and reflects both the simplicity and grandeur of the story. The result is a book which will be read with equal enjoyment by those already familiar with Muhammad?s life and those coming to it for the first time. This book was given an award by the government of Pakistan, and selected as the best biography of the Prophet in English at the National Seerat Conference in Islamabad in 1983. -- Description from http://kitaabun.com (Jan. 26, 2012).1220L

Is there bacon in heaven? : a memoir / by Hassan, Ali(Actor),author.(CARDINAL)879819;
Introduction -- Humble beginnings -- Religion -- Belonging -- Follow your passions -- Fatherhood -- Epilogue."For fans of Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, and Mark Critch comes a hilarious debut memoir about life growing up on the outside and finding one's place in the world, by stand-up comic and popular CBC host, Ali Hassan. Growing up, Ali Hassan was a chameleon. His friends came from many different backgrounds and religions--Trinidadian, Parsi, Goan, Hindu, Christian, Sikh. And as a hockey-playing, crockpot-using young man who also knew the words to at least ten Neil Young songs, he could blend in everywhere. But the world has a funny way of reminding you who you are, and his Muslim Pakistani family and community did, too. In this hilarious and insightful memoir based on his hit stand-up comedy, Hassan shares his life-long journey to becoming a cultural Muslim--learning to walk the line of embracing his heritage while still following his passions. From failing to learn Arabic--or much of anything, really--in Sunday school and visiting family in Pakistan (who mocked him constantly) to discovering the wonders of pepperoni as a teenager and being a celebrity judge at Ribfest, Hassan finds himself in compromising situations that challenge his beliefs and very identity. And along the way, his friends and family are there to either encourage or criticize, something he finds eternally confusing. Now, as a father of four, Hassan must explain his point of view to his children. But he can't just 'give them' an identity as a cultural Muslim. Sharing his story is the next best thing. Entertaining and heartfelt, this debut showcases why Hassan is one of Canada's most popular comedians, as he explores that deep need that exists in us all: to belong."--

Astur / by San Sebastián, Isabel,1959-author.(CARDINAL)668562;
En una noche sin luna, a principios del siglo VIII, nace en el Reino de Asturias Huma, hija y única heredera de la sacerdotisa del castro de Coaña, marcada por una profecía y una maldición. Al mismo tiempo, en Recópolis, ocupada por los musulmanes, el joven Ickila sueña con emigrar al norte y unirse a los cristianos en su lucha contra los sarracenos que dominan casi toda la península. Por eso, cuando tras una reyerta se enfrenta al destierro, decide buscar fortuna al otro lado de las montañas, donde el príncipe Alfonso acaudilla un ejército de astures, cántabros y godos empañados en resistir sin someterse ni pagar tributos. El destino teje sus hilos para unir a Huma e Ickila, al pueblo visigodo con el astur, en dos historias entrelazadas que realmente forman una sola. Isabel San Sebastián crea en Astur una crónica arrebatadora en la que historia y leyenda transportan al lector al corazón de una epopeya apasionante.On a moonless night, early in the 8th century, Huma was born in the Kingdom of Asturias. The daughter and sole heiress of the priestess of the Coaña fort, she is marked by a prophecy and a curse. At the same time, in occupied Recópolis, the young Ickila dreams of going north and joining the Christians in their fight against the Saracens, who have invaded almost the entire peninsula. Exiled after a brawl, he decides to seek his fortune on the other side of the mountains, where Prince Alfonso leads an army of Asturians, Cantabrians, and Goths who are determined to resist without submitting or paying tribute. Fate weaves its threads to unite Huma and Ickila, the Visigothic peoples and the Asturian, in two intertwined stories that are really one. With Astur, Isabel San Sebastián creates a captivating chronicle in which history and legend bring the reader to the heart of an exciting epic.
