Addressing 100 key issues relevant to contemporary Muslims, this collection of Islamic legal opinions seeks to concentrate on the most controversial and divisive issues within Islamic life. Providing invaluable insight into the Islamic tradition, the Grand Mufti answers thousands of questions that have been posed to him over the years. Topics of discussion include, What is the relationship between Islam and other religions? How can Muslims respond to the claim that women have been oppressed through Islam's system of inheritance? What is the Islamic view of democracy? and What are the main, touchstone books for each of the four schools of Sunni law? Each fatwa attempts to clarify important concerns that pose difficulty for the Muslims of today, and the complex answers offer answers that can be utilized daily.

Book Description

‘Formation’ has become an increasingly popular concept in the Christian churches in recent years. It is used frequently in relation to education and training for ministry, and also to describe the personal and spiritual growth of individuals and congregations. Yet until now it has lacked clear definition. Responding to God's Call explores formation as the ways in which Christians are shaped for vocation, and the ways in which we hear and respond to God's call. This ground breaking book is an essential resource for all with responsibility for nurturing discipleship and vocation - whether it is our shared call to grow into the fullness of our baptismal calling, or a distinctive vocation to ordained or lay ministry.
