Farhad Shafti – författare

Examining the emergence and development of the Farāhī school of thought and its methodology, this book explores the four case studies of stoning, apostasy, hijab, and the return of Jesus.It demonstrates the reforming Farāhī approach and divergence from traditional Islamic thought, tracing Farāhī scholarship through the years, from Hamiduddin Farahi to Amin Ahsan Islahi and Javed Ahmad Ghamidi. Through the case studies the author analyses Farāhī approach to the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and religion. For each case study, he looks at contested areas and critically reviews traditional approaches, evaluating various sources, including the Qur’an, Tafsīrs from both Sunni and Shia scholars, Ḥadīths, and where applies Fiqh, before moving on to discussing the Farāhī approach, including interviews with Javed Ahmad Ghamidi, the present academic leader of the approach. Each case study ends with comparative analysis, leading to extracting the methodological features of the Farāhī school of thought at the end of the book. The book closes with a critical discussion of the methodology of the Farāhī school of thought and a summary.The Farahi School and Reformist Islam is the first academic work to go beyond the Farāhī school’s theory of Qur’anic coherence, aiming to derive its methodological features through original analysis and a case study approach. It will appeal to advanced students and scholars of Islam, particularly those interested in Qur’anic exegesis and Islamic jurisprudence. It will be invaluable for those exploring new or reformist methodologies in deriving rules and concepts from the text, especially the approach of the Farāhī school of thought. It will also be of considerable interest to general readers seeking insight into the background and evolving perspectives on any of the case study subjects addressed in the book.

There's no doubt that a manager's job is getting tougher. Do it better, do it faster, do it cheaper are the pressures every manager faces. And at the heart of every manager's job is decision-making: deciding what to do and how to do it. This well-respected text looks at how quantitative analysis techniques can be used effectively to support such decision making.

 

As a manager, developing a good understanding of the quantitative analysis techniques at your disposal is crucial. Knowing how, and when, to use them and what their results really mean can be the difference between making a good or bad decision and, ultimately, between business success and failure.

 

Appealing both to students on introductory-level courses and to MBA and postgraduate students, this internationally successful text provides an accessible introduction to a subject area that students often find difficult. Quantitative Analysis for Decision Makers (formerly known as Quantitative Methods for Decision Makers) helps students to understand the relevance of quantitative methods of analysis to management decision-making by relating techniques directly to real-life business decisions in public and private sector organisations and focuses on developing appropriate skills and understanding of how the techniques fit into the wider management process.
