The journey of human life is itself a pilgrimage; a journey beginning at birth and proceeding through to our final breath. Rumi Weeds takes the reader on an insightful journey from the inner to the outer, from birth to death.
Ron Geaves Ordre des livres
Les travaux de Ron Geaves examinent de manière critique la transmigration des religions sud-asiatiques en Grande-Bretagne, en se concentrant particulièrement sur les diverses manifestations de l'Islam et du soufisme au Royaume-Uni. Son travail est motivé par la profonde conviction d'appliquer les connaissances religieuses aux affaires de la vie réelle, en défendant leur pertinence pratique. Il fait le lien actif entre le monde universitaire, le gouvernement, le droit, l'architecture et les médias à travers divers projets collaboratifs. Geaves se consacre à la compréhension et à l'articulation des complexités de l'Islam en Grande-Bretagne.
