Author: Shafiq Morton
Publisher: AWQAF SA
In The Circle of the Saints, award-winning historian Shafiq Morton maps the spiritual landscape of South Africa by exploring the lives and legacies of the awliyāʾ (saints) who shaped Cape Muslim history. The book details the "Circle of Islam"—a protective perimeter of sacred shrines, or kramats, stretching from Robben Island to Constantia—which stands as a testament to the resilience of faith forged in colonial exile and hardship. By blending archival research with oral traditions, Morton illustrates how these figures, such as Tuan Guru, established a moral geography that continues to influence contemporary debates on heritage and belonging in the 21st century.

About the Translation
For a translation to do justice to the Quran and capture its elegance and vigor, it has to be accurate, smooth, eloquent, and accessible. Unlike most popular translations, The Clear Quran® masterfully passes on all counts. To achieve accuracy, the translator has made use of the greatest and most celebrated works of old and modern tafsir (Quran commentaries), and shared the work with several Imams in North America for feedback and insight. For clarity, every effort has been made to select easy to understand words and phrases that reflect the beauty, flow, and power of the original text. Along with informative footnotes and Sura (chapter) introductions, verses have been grouped and titled based on their themes for a better understanding of the chapters, their main concepts, and internal coherence. Thanks to our dedicated team of scholars, editors, and proofreaders, we believe that what you are holding in your hands now is the finest translation of the Final Revelation.

Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint.
Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called 'ethnic cleansing'. Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel’s founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East
