Faith in Perspective: A Return to the Fundamental Principles of Islam
What is purity of tawheed?
Why is it so important?
Why did Prophet Muhammad salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam say that our deeds, on their own, are insufficient to grant us entry into Jannah?
Faith in Perspective invites the reader to reflect upon fundamental Islamic concepts that we often take at face value. The author delves deeper into these concepts, quoting sources from the Quran and Hadith, relating them to everyday experiences, and writing about them in a way that is easy to understand and apply.
This book synthesizes many of the core scholarly works in simple and engaging English. Its central message is that Islam is more than just a way of life – it is first and foremost, a way of thinking.

Mike Bloomberg: Money, Power, Politics
Michael Bloomberg is not only New York City’s 108th mayor; he is a business genius and self-made billionaire. He has run the toughest city in America with an independence and show of ego that first brought him great success—and eventually threatened it. Yet while Bloomberg is internationally known and admired, few people know the man behind the carefully crafted public persona.
In Mike Bloomberg, Joyce Purnick explores Mr. Bloomberg’s life from his childhood in the suburbs of Boston, to his rise on Wall Street and the creation of Bloomberg L.P., to his mayoral record and controversial gamble on a third term. Drawing on her deep knowledge of New York City politics, and interviews with Bloomberg’s friends, family, colleagues, and the mayor himself, she creates a textured portrait of one of the more complex men of our era.
