Imran Nazar Hosein is a leading International Islamic Philosopher, Scholar and author, specialising in world politics, economy, eschatology , modern socio-economic/political issues and expert on international affairs. He is best-selling author of Jerusalem in the Qur'an. Imran Nazar Hosein was born on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in 1942 to parents whose ancestors had migrated from India as indentured labourers. He studied Islam, Philosophy and International Relations at several universities and institutions of higher learning. Among them are al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, the Institute of International Relations of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, the University of Karachi in Pakistan, the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in Karachi, Pakistan, and the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. He worked for several years as a Foreign Service Officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago. He lived in New York for ten years during which time he served as the Director of Islamic Studies for the Joint Committee of Muslim Organizations of Greater New York. He lectured on Islam in several American and Canadian universities, colleges, churches, synagogues, prisons, community halls, etc. He also participated in many inter-faith dialogues with Christian and Jewish scholars while representing Islam in USA. He was the Imam, for sometime, at Masjid Dar al-Qur'an in Long Island, New York. He also led the weekly Jumu'ah prayers and delivered the sermon at the headquarters of the United Nations Organization in Manhattan, New York, once monthly for ten years continuously. He is a former Principal of the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in Karachi, Pakistan, Director of Research of the World Muslim Congress in Karachi, Pakistan, Director of the Islamic Institute for Education and Research in Miami, Florida, and Director of D'awah for Tanzeem-e-Islami of North America. He has traveled continuously and extensively around the world on Islamic lecture-tours since graduating from the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in 1971 at age 29. And he has also written more than a dozen books on Islam that have invariably been received with public respect. Indeed, Jerusalem in the Qur'an - An Islamic View of the Destiny of Jerusalem has become a best seller and has been translated and published in several languages. Prof. Dr. Malik Badri, Dean of the International Institute for Islamic Thought and Civilization in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, wrote the Foreword to the book. Imran's first book, entitled Islam and Buddhism in the Modern World was written when he was just 29 and still remains the only book on the subject by a Muslim scholar. That book won high praise from such eminent scholars as Vice Chancellor of University of Karachi and renowned historian, Dr. Ishtiaq Husain Quraishi, eminent Pakistani jurist and philosopher, A. K. Brohi, and eminent Muslim sociologist, Dr. Basharat Ali. Maulana Dr. Fazlur Rahman Ansari, an outstanding scholar of Islam of the modern age, wrote the Foreword to that book. Imran Hosein's three new books, published in 2007, on 'Surah al-Kahf' of the Qur'an and on the subject of 'Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age', offer rare insights into interpretation of the Qur'an and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad insofar as they explain the modern age.

its called "Tasawwuf" to make u hate shaik imran or think of him as a weirdo.

the "Tasawwuf title" for FITNA purposes.

[IfItIsAllahsWill]

Well, he's the one who named it that. I got the video from his website.

[7503783]

we love our shaikh Imran My Allah protect him...but why the Title is "Tasawwuf".. the shaikh is not Sofi !!!!!

am I Wrong....??!!!

[IfItIsAllahsWill]

He belongs to a Sufi order, I do not recall which one. As he says, he hates the word tasawwuf; people think of it and think of innovation, when in reality tasawwuf is ihsan, which is completely sunnah.

[faruqijeniri]

@IfItIsAllahsWill you get it wrong brother,he didnt meant that,listen carefully.dont simply speak out opinion.i dont see any point that he is a sufi.

[IfItIsAllahsWill]

@faruqijeniri Here is the quote from him:

"My immediate spiritual and intellectual lineages do not follow the traditional Sufi silsila. Rather they are inseparably woven together and go back from Maulana Ansari to Dr Muhammad Iqbal to Maulana Jalaludin Rumi. Maulana Abdul Aleem Siddiqui was the spiritual mentor of my teacher - but he has not played any significant direct role in my intellectual or spiritual life. I am, of course, poorer because of this."

[IfItIsAllahsWill]

@IfItIsAllahsWill ... so I stand corrected. Forgive my mistake please.

[GlobalDuty]

Kind of like Islam today.

Horrible from the outside/media.

Beautiful in reality.

[zakiyah1000]

You are absolutely right GlobalDuty

[MONJOMAN]

salam..we muslim, wajib (must) learn all these 3 topic usulluddin, feqah n tasawuf in order to become true muslim.so, how can u say tasawuf only for sufiism? if that so, i think u are stupider than donkey.,even if u are ustaz, maulana or just somebody,if u reject, not try to learn one of these 3 major silibus, then u dont know anything yet... so, please dont speak like u know everything, because u dont know...yes, islam is easy..but remember islam not to made easy..

[intezam]

@tobasy Salafism, Najdis and Wahhabism are versions of Dajjals version of Islam.Their errors in action and thinking will be (and are) used by Dajjal's media against Islam in fact, it is used to debunk Islam.The British,French supported the dismanteling of the Ottoman Caliphate in support of Kemalism.They knew that the Caliphate of Hijaz was going to be overthown by the animal like Najdis and their evil Ikhwan.As a result silly people say evil things about Tasawwuf and pure Murshad which is a sin

[abdullahalmahmood]

what is knowledge? simple

qaa Allah, qaa Rasuulullah, wa qaa Sahaabah.

Allah said, the messenger(saw) said, and the companions understood as ....

NOTHING else, not greek philosophy, nor the persian one aka (tassawuf) introduced into the folds of islam

[israrzari]

@7503783 he is from chistii silsila

[faruqijeniri]

@tobasy Rasulullah teach his ummat to watch their tongue,so we have to watch it very carefully,Insya Allah brother...
