I stumbled across you site as you do when surfing the web. At first I just read about the sufis and was particularly struck by the sufis who remembered God's presence even during sufering, depression etc. This site is a treasure trove of material and I thank you for it. Perhaps you could add something on how to make shahada? Kind regards David

Dr. Godlas, I am quite pleased to see your website. It gives a very neat and neutral view, and regardless of the debatable points (interpretations are inherently debatable as such), the effort that went into maintaining the links and compiling them is truly appreciable. The pointers on your website lead me to some wonderful articles that gave much clearer insights on some finer aspects of Islam. Thank you and may God give you the right guidance in your work and life. Keep up the good work.

Dear Dr. Godlas, I am the English translator working on the Navoii project here in Tashkent. I would like to meet with you at the local choihona. :) Do have any tips (or book referrals) on this kind of translation work? Dilmarod and others are hoping to hold a conference in New York. Do you know about this? Do you hope to be there? I'm a Canadian working for an NGO in Tashkent. I have a deep appreciation for Uzbek literature (especially Navoii's). I have been learning Uzbek for two and a half years now. Sog'boling, Gary Dyck

1,000 Years of Missing History – Muslim Science, Technology and Civilisation Did you know that most history, science and technology books completely ignore the crucial discoveries, innovations and the actual role of Muslims that formed the basis of modern civilisation. www.muslimheritage.com is an online educational resource dedicated to popularising the history of Muslim achievements and providing quality factual content to redress the imbalance and bias in modern published scholarship. Six crucial facts you should know about Muslim Science, Technology and Civilization: 1 Muslims were the global leaders and innovators of intellectual, scientific and cultural development for many centuries. 2 The parts of Europe that were within the Muslim domain made huge leaps in civilisation through the transfer of Muslim scientific and technical ideas. 3 The so-called “Dark Ages”, a period of Western history spanning many centuries, was actually a period where Islamic civilisation and innovation were at their peak. 4 Major scientific discoveries currently attributed to Western scientists were in fact fully documented as Muslim discoveries many centuries before, e.g. Harvey and the Pulmonary Circulation, Snell and the laws of refraction etc 5 There are millions of documents in museum archives and libraries around the world that document Muslim civilisation but have not yet been researched, translated and popularised. 6 Within Islam, there is no conflict between science and religion. Muslim scientists were actually faith-inspired and used religion as the inspiration to advance human knowledge. The website is a free resource. It is run by the non-profit Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC) based in the UK. It does not have any affiliation with, and does not advocate support of, any particular country, religious sect or political group. Muslimheritage.com is a part of a larger global movement to provide a true and accurate content, on the history of the contribution of Muslims to world civilisation. www.muslimheritage.com

I hope it receives greater attention, because I believe it will help all of us to see beyond blind prejudices and hopefully through awareness will help stem the rise of the abominable climate of an ever pervasive hate-mongering xenophobia - especially Islamophobia, Iranianophobia, Arabophobia, and Middle Eastophobia. This Site will be an effective tool for those who seek to form an educated well informed opinion about Islam, and about the the People who like me are of Islamic Heritage. I am happy to see that UGA hsa this Site up and running. It was a welcome break in the depressing cycle that I had been very saddly observed by the recent apparant loss of my fellow Americans' sensibilities. Thank you for your efforts.

We must unite and live as one race, accepting that there is one God and praying together as one family in one gathering. This is the wealth of Iman-Islam. God sent this gift to each of the prophets and finally gave it in completeness to Muhammad. The fundamental explanations of perfect faith were resonated to God's messengers, and they in turn shared them with mankind in the scriptures, in the traditions of the Prophet,9 and in the Qur'an. There are very deep meanings to be found in these.

Fascinating site ! I was once unaware there were so many similarities in Islam, Christianity, and Judasim. I myself found especially helpful the writings of St. Teresa de Avila and St. Juan de la cruces in the middle ages. More Sufi-like prayer and meditation practices one cannot find, (unless one reads of ibn Arabi and his breathren) With all the changes in doctrine in 'some' religions these days, perhaps we all should have taken to heart Jesus warning about those "scribes", eh..? Many thanks for the enlightening.

The Hussin ibn Ali is plentiful, stopping at Muhammad Abdullah al Hassan askari who some believe went into occultation. What about the progenies from Hassan ibn Ali, regardless, having given up the Imam status! If we are to believe the coming of the al Mahdi from the scion of al Hassan; from time to time, the real direct descendant of the Holy Prophet must be around from the time (though unknown to the awamm at large.

Nowhere and regardless of historical or ethnic foundation is Islam a positive force in any country -- it is usually very much the opposite. Should we expect anything different here in the USA?

I have read your website trying to grasp the concept of the Isalam religion. I have a very open mind and to tell you the truth. The only one constant that I see in that religion is their aim to discredit all the other religions of the world. Far from a "religion of peace". Also, it's a scientific fact that Islam is not the oldest of the monotheistic beleifs. I would ask Dr. Alan to name three contributions the muslims have given to the world? Last 100 years.

I can definitely say it was one of the main forces behind my conversion, as it gave me my first true look at Islam. I didn't really know much about Islam beyond the basic stereotypes and after looking over this site, I discovered it was quite close to what I believed. I didn't convert instantly, but rather took many months to research it before I took my Shahada. I found myself gravitate towards I

But do you not think that Muslims should also call upon the United Nations to condemn foundational aspects of Islam that tend to produce children-killers, women-killers, suicidists, genocidists (Darfur), etc. We should be ashamed that the vast majority of such people do not come from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., but from the Islamic faith.

I notice that you are very well informed in regard to Middle Eastern Religion. I am wondering if there is any end of world doctrine in those religions which relate Satan to a meteorite or cosmic body. Do they even believe in a Satan? I have been studying the Christian and Hebrew scriptures using a very straightforward literal approach and have made some very profound discoveries. If you read my blog you will understand why this is an important question for me. http://ablebodiedman.blogspot.com/ Regards Geoff Wright

I came across your site while looking for scholars that might help us contribute to our university project (An Encyclopaedia of the Arts) comprising topics on all the courses taught to our students in all the departments of the faculty. And I was happily impressed by the contents of your site. Is it possible for you to suggest names of scholars that we can contact concerning contributing to the encyclopaedia? We need such people in Islamic and Arabic studies - as well as in English, Philosophy, History and International Studies, Religions, etc. Shall I expect your reply soon? Thank

I was really pleased to see a secular school with accurate info on Islam. It is so refreshing, with so many erroneous things being said lately. Thank you. I hope more people learn the true teachings of Islam.
