The Fatigue of the Shari'a places on a continuum two kinds of debates: debates in the Islamic tradition about the end of access to divine guidance and debates in modern scholarship in Islamic legal studies about the end of the Shari'a. The resulting continuum covers what access to divine guidance means and how it relates to Shari'a.

This book offers a better insight into the comparison of Western and Islamic cultures, with studies that address the issues of Islam and modernity, violence in Islamic law and history, and respect for individuals' privacy in Islamic cultures.

Using the frameworks of systems theory, modernization, and the world system, New Age Globalization presents a composite multilevel, multidirectional picture of globalization informed by eight different but interdependent subsystems.

This work contains an account of the status of knowledge and a detailed analysis of all aspects of sulphur, that is: the global S cycle; the present and future scenario of fertilizer demand and supply; management strategies of soil sulphur; uptake, assimilation and redistribution of sulphur in plants; biosynthesis and functions of various sulphur metabolites (glucosinolates, phytochelatins, metallothionine, sulpholipids, thiols) involved in defense systems of plants against the stresses of their environment; the role of sulphur in improving the quality of legume, cereals and oilseeds; interaction of sulphur with other nutrients; and the use of biologically active sulphur compounds of plant origin in medicine. It is an authoritative review of the present status of knowledge of sulphur in 2003, and its availability for the improvement of crop production and quality, written by experts from all parts of the world, which will help to identify those research areas that need further exploration.This volume should be useful for graduate and post-graduate students and research workers in agronomy, plant physiology, plant molecular biology, plant biochemistry, and for environment and fertilizer industries/associations.

One of the crucial factors in economic development is the saving/investment process. In conventional economic systems,the interest rate mechanism is at the heart of that process, however an Islamic financial system cannot rely on that mechanism. With this fact considered, this volume explores the role and significance of Islamic financial system, instruments and institutions in economic growth and development, both theoretically and empirically.

Sulphur (S) plays a pivotal role in various plant growth and development processes being a constituent of sulphur-containing amino acids, cysteine and methionine, and other metabolites viz., glutathione and phytochelatins, co-factor of enzymes which contribute to stress repair and amelioration of heavy metal toxicity. Besides, a number of S-containing components are biologically active and, thus, a source for use as medicinal value. The basic global issue before the agricultural scientist and world community is to evolve cultivars and develop methodologies for efficient use of inputs to enhance agricultural productivity. This is particularly true of the developing countries which are going to see maximum rise in population with changing food demands and declining availability of land. Amongst the inputs, nutrients play a crucial role. The major requirement is for N, P and K followed by several micro-nutrients. In this context reports of world-wide S deficiency in the agricultural systems are relevant. The reasons are many. Broadly speaking reduction inS emission, use of S-free N, P and K fertilizers and higher biomass production contributed the maximum. Despite the need for sulphur as an essential plant nutrient and the substantial returns expected from its use, very little attention has been given to fill the gap between supply and demand of S.

The Souls I Mothered is a deeply personal memoir about a love that transcends species, words, and even death.In these tender pages, A. Ahmad shares the story of two beloved companions, Michan and Mee, whose presence transformed ordinary days into a journey of devotion, sleepless nights, quiet rituals, and unconditional love. Through moments both joyful and heartbreaking, she reflects on what it truly means to nurture another soul and the profound grief that follows when that bond is broken.More than a story of loss, The Souls I Mothered is a meditation on motherhood, memory, and the invisible language that exists between hearts. With honesty and gentle vulnerability, this memoir speaks to anyone who has ever loved deeply, mourned deeply, and wondered whether love can outlast goodbye.For animal lovers, grieving hearts, and anyone who believes that some connections are eternal, The Souls I Mothered is a moving tribute to the souls we carry with us long after they are gone.
