In The distinctive terminology in Šarḥ al-Kāfiya by Raḍī l-Dīn al-ʾAstarābāḏī Beata Sheyhatovitch presents a structured and systematic study of a seminal treatise in the medieval Arabic linguistic tradition. The treatise’s author, al-ʾAstarābāḏī (d. circa 1289), is widely considered the most brilliant grammarian of the later classical period. The author's analysis of his terminology reveals the extent of his originality, and of the influence that other Islamic sciences (logic, jurisprudence, theology) had on his writings. The comprehensiveness and the unique approach, which uses texts from various medieval Islamic disciplines to clarify the terminology, make this book an excellent and innovative tool. It provides scholars and ordinary readers with tools for a deeper understanding of al-ʾAstarābāḏī as well as other medieval Arab grammarians.

Through his ardent struggle to revitalise Islamic values amid increasing Westernisation, al-Banna promoted Islamic charity and personal piety throughout Egypt, becoming a powerful political force until his mysterious assassination.

This Decisive Hour is a collection of letters and cablegrams from Shoghi Effendi to the North American Bahá'í community sent between 1932 and 1946. It was originally published under the title Messages to America. As with Citadel of Faith the collection gives insight into the crises and victories faced by the American believers in the period covered by the letters, through the lens of guidance provided by the Guardian, and its value lies not only in the glimpse it gives into history but in the perspective it provides on the present, and the applicability of the principles identified to the issues of the current time.

His fatherly love for her - encouraging, comforting, guiding, warning, sometimes even chastising - is recorded, page by page. Juliet's love for 'Abdu'l-Bahá is also vividly kept here. To this divine love she devoted her life, becoming an immortal teacher of the Cause, serving faithfully until her death in 1956.This inspirational and surprisingly relatable story is a must read for every Baha'i seeking to understand the early believers' relationship with Abdu'l-Baha, and the qualities we all possess to help us in our effort to advance the Baha'i World Order.
