In this gripping narrative history, Lesley Hazleton tells the tragic story at the heart of the ongoing rivalry between the Sunni and Shia branches of Islam, a rift that dominates the news now more than ever. Even as Muhammad lay dying, the battle over who would take control of the new Islamic nation had begun, beginning a succession crisis marked by power grabs, assassination, political intrigue, and passionate faith. Soon Islam was embroiled in civil war, pitting its founder's controversial wife Aisha against his son-in-law Ali, and shattering Muhammad’s ideal of unity. Combining meticulous research with compelling storytelling, After the Prophet explores the volatile intersection of religion and politics, psychology and culture, and history and current events. It is an indispensable guide to the depth and power of the Shia–Sunni split.

Isaiah was Samuel's and Samuel was Isaiah's. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man—a fellow slave—seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel's love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation's harmony. With a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr., fiercely summons the voices of slaver and enslaved alike, from Isaiah and Samuel to the calculating slave master to the long line of women that surround them, women who have carried the soul of the plantation on their shoulders. As tensions build and the weight of centuries—of ancestors and future generations to come—culminates in a climactic reckoning, The Prophets fearlessly reveals the pain and suffering of inheritance, but is also shot through with hope, beauty, and truth, portraying the enormous, heroic power of love.

The extraordinary life of the man who founded Islam, and the world he inhabited—and remade. Lesley Hazleton's new book, Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto, is out now from Riverhead Books. Muhammad’s was a life of almost unparalleled historical importance; yet for all the iconic power of his name, the intensely dramatic story of the prophet of Islam is not well known. In The First Muslim, Lesley Hazleton brings him vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a man in full, in all his complexity and vitality. Hazleton’s account follows the arc of Muhammad’s rise from powerlessness to power, from anonymity to renown, from insignificance to lasting significance. How did a child shunted to the margins end up revolutionizing his world? How did a merchant come to challenge the established order with a new vision of social justice? How did the pariah hounded out of Mecca turn exile into a new and victorious beginning? How did the outsider become the ultimate insider? Impeccably researched and thrillingly readable, Hazleton’s narrative creates vivid insight into a man navigating between idealism and pragmatism, faith and politics, nonviolence and violence, rejection and acclaim. The First Muslim illuminates not only an immensely significant figure but his lastingly relevant legacy.

Dari zaman TV hitam putih menyiarkan program Dunia Dalam Berita jam 9 malam sampai sekarang, tiada hentihentinya kita dengar berita dari Timur Tengah tentang peperangan sesama orang Islam, pemboman masjid, penghancuran situs ziarah, pembunuhan brutal warga sipil yang tak berdosa, dan berbagai bentuk kekerasan lainnya. Apalagi belakangan ini, dunia Islam diguncang dan dibuat porak-poranda oleh isu radikalisme dan intoleransi agama, terorisme global dan isu kekhilafahan, konflik sektarian dan perang saudara, seperti di Suriah, Yaman, Irak, Pakistan, Mesir, Iran, Lebanon, Afganistan, dan lainnya. Jika dirunut ke belakang, konflik dan peperangan ini dipicu oleh dua arus utama dalam Islam yang saling berseberangan dalam banyak hal: Islam Sunni yang mayoritas dan Islam Syiah yang minoritas. Keadaan ini semakin diperparah dengan keterlibatan negara Barat di dunia Timur, terutama Timur Tengah, bisa karena motif invasi dan kolonialisasi, politik kekuasaan, penguasaan sumber daya alam (minyak) dan ekspor gerakan Wahabi dari kerajaan Arab Saudi ke berbagai belahan negeri Islam untuk kepentingan keamanan bisnis mereka. "Menarik sekali....sangat hidup dan memukau.... Siapa pun yang berusaha memahami masalah Timur Tengah masa kini bisa belajar banyak dari bükü ini. Hazleton tidak hanya menulis fakta yang melatari perpecahan Syiah-Sunni, tetapi juga dengan sangat bertanggungjawab memanfaatkan referensi yang sudah berabad-abad usianya untuk mengungkap kedalaman sensitifitas emosional dan spiritual yang terbungkus dalam kata sederhana, seperti 'Karbala' (Dia) dengan piawai menggunakan sumber-sumber asli, yang sebagian be?ar merujuk pada riwayat tertulis kontemporer maupun riwayat tradisi oral, untuk menghidupkan dan memberi napas sosok-sosok penting yang sudah akrab di kalangan umat ?slam, tetapi masih asing bagi sebagian besar non-lslam.” —Seattle Times

The life and legacy of one of Mohammad’s closest confidants and Islam’s patron saint: Ali ibn Abi Talib Ali ibn Abi Talib is arguably the single most important spiritual and intellectual authority in Islam after prophet Mohammad. Through his teachings and leadership as fourth caliph, Ali nourished Islam. But Muslims are divided on whether he was supposed to be Mohammad’s political successor—and he continues to be a polarizing figure in Islamic history. Hassan Abbas provides a nuanced, compelling portrait of this towering yet divisive figure and the origins of sectarian division within Islam. Abbas reveals how, after Mohammad, Ali assumed the spiritual mantle of Islam to spearhead the movement that the prophet had led. While Ali’s teachings about wisdom, justice, and selflessness continue to be cherished by both Shia and Sunni Muslims, his pluralist ideas have been buried under sectarian agendas and power politics. Today, Abbas argues, Ali’s legacy and message stands against that of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Taliban.

Ezekiel has long been considered the most difficult of all the prophetic books to understand. The prophet's bizarre visions, extraordinary behaviour, and extravagant imagery have perplexed and fascinated readers for more than 2,500 years. The prophet has had an impact not only on theology and the life of Church and Synagogue, but also on culture, art and architecture. The volume brings together 15 new essays on Ezekiel's impact by leading scholars, and they focus on a range of different parts of the book and periods of reception. Historically they cover the reception of Ezekiel from the New Testament to the present day, and include both Jewish and Christian readings of the book. Methodologically, they offer a wide sample of the different approaches to reception/history of interpretation current in contemporary biblical studies.
