This book is the first English translation of that manuscript, \u003cem\u003eKitab Usul al-Din\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eWritten in a highly accessible style, \u003cem\u003eKitab Usul al-Din\u003c\/em\u003e introduces readers to theology through conversations on some of the most important theological issues in history: Why did God create us? Where do we go when we die? What makes someone a good person? Does God love us? Al-Pazdawi situates central issues in Islamic thought within a series of dialogues and debates, and challenges readers to draw their own conclusions. \u003cbr\u003ePresented here for the first time in English, \u003cem\u003eTheology in Thirty-Six Dialogues (and Sixty Lessons)\u003c\/em\u003e offers al-Pazdawi's text as a foundational introduction to Islamic theology for English speakers. Islamic studies professor Rumee Ahmed begins each dialogue with brief contextualizing notes that familiarize readers with the topics under discussion. Staying true to al-Pazdawi's call-and-response style, Ahmed's translation is presented as a series of acts and Socratic dialogues that preserve the performative nature of the original and engage the reader in a dynamic way.\u003cbr\u003ePutting forth a reflective and unprecedented translation, this book invites readers of all backgrounds to engage with the most vital issues in Islamic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRumee Ahmed is a Canada Research Chair in Theology and Ethics and professor of Islamic law at the University of British Columbia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 378\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.27 x 9.14 x 5.92 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 24, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45846582820943,"sku":"9781487575618","price":112.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/SsTY52ZUjP9781487575618.webp?v=1781636194","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/theology-in-thirty-six-dialogues-and-sixty-lessons-a-cultural-translation-of-abu-yusr-al-pazdawis-kitab-usul-al-din-hardcover","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
