Muslim literature, contributions welcome

This is a guide to wudu (ablution) and salat (the nucleus of practicing Islam) according to Maliki school: https://www.slideshare.net/yousefalkhattab1/maliki-salat

If anyone has guides for other schools, please contribute.

I’m not sure if he’s Muslim but as far as Arab writers Black Swan is an excellent introduction to the work of Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

Sabah alkheir, /lit/ Muslims
I'm a big fan of political philosophy and recently wanted to explore some non-western writers. From the googling i've done on Islamic political philosophy, i've come up with:
>The Quran
>The Book of Government or Rules for Kings by Nizam al-Mulk
>Notes on Plato's Republic by Ibn Rushd/Averroes
>The philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, The Ideal State, political regime, Summery of Plato's Laws by Al-Farabi
>The Muqaddimah by Ibn Khaldun
I'm sure i am missing some works. If you know any more, please let me know. I'm interested in exploring your rich intellectual tradition.

To get some grasp on islamic political economy, specially the shia view, I would recommend Iqtisaduna/Our Economy by Mohammad baqir Al-Sadr.

Argues about what's wrong with capitalism and scientific socialism and expand on the quran/shia view of the right political economic model.

Nah, most people pronounce it "wha" (as in what) "zu" (as in zoo). The proper arabic pronunciation is a bit different but there isn't really an English equivalent. The first part is the same but the second syllable is pronounced "dhu" (like when you place your tongue on the roof of your mouth to pronounce "the" only make a "thoo" type sound). Never heard anyone call it "woodoo" desu.

The proper pronouniation isn't renderable in English letters. The Arabic Alphabet has 28 letters, and only three of those can double as vowels in the English sense.


Islamic terms and phrases are universally in the Quraysh dialectic, which is the dialectic the Qur'an is recited in. Everyday Arabic varies significantly by region. The way wudu is pronounced is the same as it was a thousand years ago

Google the phrase "mirrors for princes". Should get you most of political philosophy through the middle ages and Renaissance. You'll get some ancient Roman and Greek stuff, but way more Arab stuff.

I think you're confusing Afghans, Iranians, Pakistanis, Kurds etc. for Arab. They pronounce it the way you're saying but >>14020299 is right, the majority of Arabs don't.
