One of the greatest scholars and geniuses produced by Muslim Spain – indeed, the whole Islamic world – was Imam Ibn Hazm (May Allah have mercy upon him). He has huge and diverse literary works that makes him a Polymath. He was Faqeeh (jurist), Muhaddith (Hadith scholar), Mufassir (exegete of Quran), Adeeb (litterateur), theologian, thinker, psychologist, poet, historian, philosopher, politician and debator. He authored around 400 works in the cities of Islamic Spain like Cordoba, Jativa, Almeria, Majorca, Valencia, Seville and Niebla.

Disputing arguments put forward by proponents of the death penalty he contends that b...

Using remarkable, first-person testimony from bin Laden's family and closest aides, The Exile chronicles this astonishing tale of evasion, collusion and isolation. In intimate detail, The Exile reveals not only the frantic attack on Afghanistan by the United States in their hunt for bin Laden but also how and why, when they found his family soon after, the Bush administration rejected the chance to seize them. It charts the formation of ISI...
