The spread of Islam eastward into South and Southeast Asia was one of the most significant cultural shifts in world history. As it expanded into these regions, Islam was received by cultures vastly different from those in the Middle East, incorporating them into a diverse global community that stretched from India to the Philippines. In Islam Translated, Ronit Ricci uses the Book of One Thousand Questions—from its Arabic original to its adaptations into the Javanese, Malay, and Tamil languages between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries—as a means to consider connections that linked Muslims across divides of distance and culture. Examining the circulation of this Islamic text and its varied literary forms, Ricci explores how processes of literary translation and religious conversion were historically interconnected forms of globalization, mutually dependent, and creatively reformulated within societies making the transition to Islam.

This is the first translation of the Quran by an American woman. It is a universal and inclusive translation with the hope that Islam will be better understood in the West. She also challenges the use of the wowrd "to beat" in 4: 34 as meaning "to go away" which is how the Prophet of Islam understood the word as it has historically justified violence against and abuse of Muslim women. "This interpretation must change," she says, "and revert to the way the Prophet understood it."

Born to a wealthy family in West Africa around 1770, Omar Ibn Said was abducted and sold into slavery in the United States, where he came to the attention of a prominent North Carolina family after filling “the walls of his room with piteous petitions to be released, all written in the Arabic language,” as one local newspaper reported. Ibn Said soon became a local celebrity, and in 1831 he was asked to write his life story, producing the only known surviving American slave narrative written in Arabic. In A Muslim American Slave, scholar and translator Ala Alryyes offers both a definitive translation and an authoritative edition of this singularly important work, lending new insights into the early history of Islam in America and exploring the multiple, shifting interpretations of Ibn Said’s narrative by the nineteenth-century missionaries, ethnographers, and intellectuals who championed it. This edition presents the English translation on pages facing facsimile pages of Ibn Said’s Arabic narrative, augmented by Alryyes’s comprehensive introduction, contextual essays and historical commentary by leading literary critics and scholars of Islam and the African diaspora, photographs, maps, and other writings by Omar Ibn Said. The result is an invaluable addition to our understanding of writings by enslaved Americans and a timely reminder that “Islam” and “America” are not mutually exclusive terms.

Introduction Blurb: A lot of people are confused about the differences between the Jesus of the KJV Bible, and the Jesus of the Quran of Islam. Christians oftentimes are so ignorant of Islam, and Mormonism, that they argue that the Quran, or Book of Mormon, can't be true if they contradict the KJV Bible, because they don't understand that the Quran says that the Bible was altered by copyist transcribers onto decaying scrolls repeatedly like the most credible historians and the NIV Bible itself says as well, while Joseph Smith said the Bible was mistranslated if it disagrees with Mormonism. This book explains the differences between the Quran and KJV Bible, and then it translates the book of Mark in the KJV Bible to instead be translated to say what the Quran says the gospel of Jesus originally said, while this book also reveals other evidence for why the Quran's version of Jesus could be possible. This book also reveals how 100% non-violent feminist Quranism Quran-only-Islam versions of the Quran are possible: like a Protestant Christian translation of the Quran, a Buddhist Quran, a Baha'i Quran, a Suffi Quran, a Yazdanism Quran, a Yarsanism Quran, a Gnostic Quran, a Scientology Quran like the Scientology Nation of Islam, a scientific Quran, an atheist Quran, a Deist Quran, a Pagan Quran, a Catholic Quran, a Freemason Quran, a monotheistic Hindu Quran, or other possible translations of the Quran. If the unscientific debunked untrustworthy Hadith like Bukhari are self-contradictory, contradict the Quran, and if each unscientific English Quran version contradicts itself in English, then this proves that new translations of the Quran, in a Quranist Quran-only-Islam, are possible. This book bridges the gap between Islam and Christianity, forming Chrislam as a stronger philosophical force in the world as a religion that is historically possible based on many different types of arguments. For comedic purposes the following sentence is used. Welcome to: the new world order, the forging of a one world religion from out of all of the world's major religions, the signing of the 7th age peace covenant by someone born with six letters in each of their three names whose last name is similar to that of President Obama's former campaign manager, a seven year peace treaty that will be signed every seven years by people with six letters in each of their three names on social media, the beginning of moving towards a United Nations one world government, and a big Illuminati sun eye of enlightenment that might actually be what is on the cover of this book hidden in plain sight instead of a bottomless pit of hellfire being what is actually on this book's cover. Conspiracy theories are very silly. Gandhi, and Baha'i, are some of the most famous versions of Chrislam that have emerged in the past. Gandhi said he was a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, and a Jew in the award winning Gandhi movie, and you can also listen to his audio books on Audible, while Baha'i audio books explain how Chrislam is possible as well. Baha'i also explains that the Mahdi could have already come, and that the Islamic prophesied apocalypse already could have happened, and was misunderstood in the metaphorical self-contradictory inaccurate Hadith, and mistranslated Quran, while Quranism eliminates the Hadith entirely so that the misinterpreted Quran could be translated in many 100% non-violent mystical Suffi, or Yazdanism, ways. Large portions of whole countries in Africa full of millions of people are practicing Chrislam today as a major world religion, while many major churches across the USA have both a Quran, and a Bible, in their churches, the same as in many Freemason temples of interfaith dialogue of peaceful Chrislam. If Quranism is true then there could be no Dajjal so there is nothing to fear?
