The Explanation Of The Book Of Knowledge From Sahih al-Bukhari by Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali ISBN: 9781532369339 Author: Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali Book Binding: Paperback Pages: 401 Size: 8.3 x 5.7 x 1.1 inch Publication Year: 2018 Description About This Book: It is impossible to overestimate the importance of legislative knowledge because it is the basis for eradicating ignorance. In actuality, the need for legislative knowledge outweighs even the most fundamental needs for living, such as food and water, which are necessary for our physical survival. Many individuals may not fully understand the relevance of this knowledge, but experts have worked hard to emphasize it in order to enlighten and direct people. Learning how to worship Allah becomes crucial for individuals who lack knowledge. They can build a deeper relationship with the Creator and experience a more fruitful spiritual journey when they know how to worship the Creator appropriately. On the other hand, those who are endowed with knowledge should always work to improve it. More information enables individuals to take on leadership roles in their communities, influencing and motivating others to follow the path of righteousness. In the same way that the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) did while he was alive, they can emerge as lights of knowledge and act as tangible examples of the beauty and profundity of Islam. Legislative knowledge is a treasure that eliminates ignorance and provides humanity with illumination and direction. Whether one is informed about worship or just wants to learn more about it, gaining knowledge should always be a lifelong process that benefits both the individual and society as a whole. Nothing removes ignorance except legislative knowledge, and the need of the people for legislative knowledge is greater than their need for food and drink.  It is greater than their need for air, which none can do without.  However, most of the people do not know this need, which the scholars have specifically clarified for the people. The ignorant person is in need of learning how to worship Allah.  He whom Allah has given something from knowledge is in dire need of increasing it so he can be a leader for the people and so he can be a proof, just as the Messenger of Allah was a proof.

Explanation of The Hadith: Indeed The Blissful Person Is He Who Has Been Kept Away from Fitan By Shaykh Abdur Razzaq ibn Abdul-Muhsin Al-abbad Al-Badr ISBN: 9781649452931 Author: Abdur-Razaaq bin Abdul-Muhsin Al-Badr Book Paperback Pages: 74 Size: 9.0x 6.0 x 0.2inch Publication Year: 2021 DescriptionAbout This Book: The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is thoroughly and in-depth analyzed in the book "Explanation of the Hadith: Indeed the Blissful Person Is He Who Has Been Kept Away from Fitan" by Shaykh Abdur Razzaq ibn Abdul-Muhsin Al-Abbad Al-Badr. Indeed, the one who has avoided fitan is the happiest. This book explores a variety of fitan-related topics, including their numerous varieties, underlying reasons, and ways to avoid falling prey to them. A selection of supplications to find safety from Fitan are also included. The book is divided into three major sections: Part 1: A Hadith's ExplanationPart 2: The Various Fitan TypesPart 3: Fitan Self-Protection Techniques The book is reader-friendly and simple to understand because it is written in a straightforward and concise manner. Additionally, it is well-cited, making it simple for readers to research more details on the subjects covered. Just how much more beautiful would it be that the believing servant is consistently conscious of this blessed meaning, which this Hadith illustrates, “who has been kept away from Fitan,” meaning that Allāh keeps Fitan away from him and shields him from its evil. This Hadith is inclusive of the following connotations. It is unbefitting for the Muslim to seek out Fitan, expose oneself to it, involve himself in it, or be entangled in its complexities and dire consequences. Let alone put oneself through its wicked outcome(s).Instead, Islām requires the servant to keep one’s distance and avoid it. He should make efforts to remain safe from its evil. Avoiding Fitan is the main objective here; not heading long into it or being entangled. Instead, one should seek refuge with Allāh and beg Him for well-being. Well-being is unparalleled to anything else. Whoever has been blessed with it has been gifted with a tremendous amount of good. Numerous supplications have been cited where the Prophet (May Allah elevate his rank & grant him peace) asked Allāh (The Exalted) for well-being.

Reflections on the believers' resemblance to the date tree By Shaykh 'Abdur Razzaaq bin Abdil-Muhsin al-'Abbad al-Badr ISBN: 9798650561545 Author: Abdur-Razaaq bin Abdul-Muhsin Al-Badr Book Binding: Paperback Pages 106 Size: 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.3 inch Publication year:2021 Language: Arabic Description About This Book: Allah says: “See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. Very high). Giving its fruit at all times, by the Leave of its Lord and Allah sets forth parables for mankind in order that they may remember.” [Soorah Ibrahim 14:24-25]This is a remarkable parable with an enormous benefit and applies perfectly to that which it is being compared with. Allah begins the verse by saying,“See you not how Allah sets forth a parable?” [Soorah Ibrahim 14:24]Meaning, does not your heart see and comprehend how Allah makes an example and a comparison for the "goodly word", the word of Eemaan. Allah finishes the verse with: “Allah sets forth parables for mankind in order that they may remember.” [Soorah Ibrahim 14:25]Meaning: that the intention behind this parable and others, are to remind the people and invite them to consider and understand the speech of Allah.There can be no doubt that this beginning and end to the verse are the best of encouragements for a person to learn and understand this parable. They also show the enormous importance of this parable and how it includes Eemaan, which is the best thing for a person to seek and the greatest goal. When we consider this splendid parable we find that Allah mentions the thing that is being compared, the thing it is being compared to and the similarity between them. The thing that is being compared is "the good word", the thing it is being compared to is “the tree”, and the similarity between them is like Allah says:“Whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. Very high); giving its fruit at all times, by the Leave of its Lord.” [Soorah Ibrahim 14:24]Allah, The Blessed, The Most High, compares the Eemaan that is firm in the heart of the believer and that which results from that Eemaan in the way of branches, divisions and fruit, with the "goodly tree” whose roots are firm, its branches outstretched into the sky, and always produces fruit.So if, one was to consider the thing being compared to, which is the tree, and the thing being compared, which is the proclamation of Eemaan that is in the heart of the believer and that which results from it, then they will find that they share many similar characteristics, some of which are mentioned in the verse. Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:“If you were to consider this resemblance you would see that it applies to the tree of Tawheed that is firmly rooted in the heart; its branches are the righteous actions which reach high into the sky and this tree never stops producing good deeds. The amount of righteous actions is dependent upon the extent that Tawheed is embedded in the heart, the extent of the love the heart has for Tawheed, the extent of sincerity one has for Tawheed, the extent of knowledge one has of Tawheed, the extent one applies Tawheed, the extent one performs its rights, and the extent that one takes care of it.Whoever firmly roots the proclamation of Eemaan in their heart and characterizes their heart by it and anoints it with the religion of Allah, of which there is no better religion, and then he knows the reality of divinity, which his heart affirms for Allah alone and he bears witness to that with his tongue and confirms that with his limbs. He negates this divinity and that which it necessitates, for everything other than for Allah; and his heart agrees with the tongue in this negation and affirmation and his limbs submit to that which he testifies to with Tawheed, obediently walking the path of his Lord with humility, without deviation and without desiring another to replace it.There's no doubt that this proclamation in the heart and on the tongue continually produces good deeds that raise up to Allah all the time.

The Pagan Roots Of Christmas - How Muslims Treat Christmas? And What Is The Muslim Belief Regarding Jesus Christ By Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid ISBN: 9781902727608 Author: Abu Khadeejah Abdul Wahid Alam Book Binding: Paperback Pages 46 Size: 5.8 x 4.1 x 0.2 inch Publication year:2019 Description About This Book: The book begins by looking into the mysterious origins of Christmas. These ancient celebrations were generally centered on the birth of a deity or goddess and were accompanied by gift-giving and feasts. Moving on, the author discusses Muslims' faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus is seen as a prophet chosen by God to guide humanity in Islam. The faith recognizes his miraculous birth from a virgin as well as his great deeds. Muslims say that the Jesus is not the Son of God and they said Jesus is never punished through the crucifixion method The author offers a sensible way to Muslims' treatment of Christmas. Because of its pagan origins, he cautions against celebrating the occasion. Nonetheless, he underlines the significance of treating people who do celebrate it with respect and tolerance. Muslims might show their appreciation by exchanging presents with Christian acquaintances or attending Christmas festivities. The book concludes with a striking reminder of the importance of following Islamic beliefs. They things that Muslims need to focus on following the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH rather than focusing on the issues of Non-Muslims cultural activities  The word ‘Christmas’ means ‘mass of Christ’ which later became shortened to ‘Christ-mass’. It was the Roman Catholic Church who spread the term among other Christian denominations and non-Christians. So where did the Catholic Church get the celebration from? It is not in the New Testament, and certainly not in the Old Testament. The 1911 edition of Catholic Encyclopedia itself states, “Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the church. The first evidence of the feast comes from Egypt… Pagan customs centring around the month of January gravitated to Christmas.” This book provides a short but valuable discussion that looks at non-Muslim festivals and the Muslim belief in Jesus in the light of the Islamic texts.

In this short booklet, we hope to shed light on this practice that has been celebrated by a body of Muslims for centuries. To enable oneself to eventually come to a conclusion in this subject, we must be certain of the fact that the earlier one goes back in history, the purer the religion gets, until we reach the era of the Companions of Allah’s Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him), to whom the Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I have left you on a clear proof, its night is like its day, no one deviates from it except that he is destroyed, and whomsoever amongst you lives for long will see great differing. So cling to what you know from my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs after me. Bite on to that with your molar teeth and beware of newly invented matters.” So when Muslims differ, they must return to clinging to the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) and the Sunnah of his noble Rightly Guided Companions (Peace and blessings be upon him). So this brief booklet has been compiled in light of this principle.

Is the pillar of Islam. The Muslims celebrate and practice this pillar during the month of RAMADAN. It entails fasting from dawn to sundown from food, drink, and other physical demands.

Each act of worship one devotes to Allāh Almighty is tied with several virtues. Whether it is prayer, Zakat, Hajj, or Fasting, all of them are laden with numerous virtues. Plainly clear verses are expressed in the Noble Book of Allāh, encouraging [Muslims] to fast to draw oneself closer to Allāh Almighty. Also, these verses explore the virtues of fasting. Consider the saying of Allāh: “Verily, the Muslims (those who submit to Allāh in Islām) men and women, the believers men and women (who believe in Islāmic Monotheism), the men and the women who are obedient (to Allāh), the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and deeds), the men and the women who are patient (in performing all the duties which Allāh has ordered and in abstaining from all that Allāh has forbidden), the men and the women who are humble (before their Lord Allāh), the men and the women who give Sadaqat (i.e. Zakat, and alms, etc.), the men and the women who observe Ṣawm (fast) (the obligatory fasting during the month of Ramaḍān, and the optional Nawafil fasting), the men and the women who guard their chastity (from illegal sexual acts) and the men and the women who remember Allāh much with their hearts and tongues (while sitting, standing, lying, etc. for more than 300 times extra over the remembrance of Allāh during the five compulsory congregational prayers) or praying extra additional Nawafil prayers of night in the last part of night, etc.) Allāh has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward (i.e., Paradise).” [Sūrah al-ʾAḥzāb (33):35]

Is the Trinity Doctrine Divinely Inspired? By M. A. C. Cave ISBN: 9789675699665 Author: M. A. C. Cave Book Binding: Soft cover Pages 109 Size: 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.4 inch Publication year:2021 Description About This Book: M. A. C. Cave's work "Is the Trinity Doctrine Divinely Inspired?" focuses on the origins and development of the Trinity doctrine within Christianity. Cave makes the case that the Trinity theory is a later invention influenced by Greek philosophical ideas rather than divinely inspired. The book is organized into three sections, each of which examines a distinct facet of the Trinity belief. Cave reviews the biblical evidence frequently presented in support of the Trinity in the first part. He contends that the Bible does not directly teach the Trinity and proposes alternate interpretations for the verses normally linked with the doctrine. Cave delves into the historical evolution of the Trinity doctrine in the second part. He emphasizes that the idea did not completely emerge until the fourth century and shows how Greek philosophical conceptions such as the Logos influenced its development. Cave delves into the consequences of his discoveries in the third section. Cave's book has received appreciation for its scholarly approach and for illuminating the historical context of the Trinity belief. This book serves as the food for thought to every right-minded person and the followers of Modern Christianity. The concept of the Trinity has baffled every Christian denomination. Although Mr. M. A. C. Cave was a Christian who believed in the Trinity before, when he carried – out his research into the origin of this doctrine, he discovered to his utter amazement, that it was a later development which was conceived and engineered by various Christian writers and thinkers. Mr. M. A. C. Cave builds up evidence that the Trinity is nothing but a man – made doctrine that falls short of being a revelation from God. Subsequently, this tailor – made doctrine lost its angularity on account of built-in contradictions and proved thorny on the side of Christian hierarchy in general and the clergy in particular who are trying to prop it up

Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd said in al-Madkhal al-Mufassal, Zād al-Mustaqnī’ fī Ikhtisār al-Muqni’ is the text that came to be considered as the main source for the study of the Hanbalī madhab (school of jurisprudence) and quintessential for the students in the land of the Hanābilah (i.e. the Arabian Peninsula); particularly in the region of Najd. The people busied themselves reading, memorising and writing commentaries upon this book. This was carried out in study circles in the masājid where the scholars imparted knowledge to others and also in formal learning institutions. This book was studied in-depth so much so that some scholars provided explanations just upon the phrases within it so as to make it easy for the new learner. This was expanded to include proofs and evidences for those in the intermediate level. In the levels thereafter, proofs and evidences were fused with the disputes that exist within the madhab and in comparison to the other madhabs. Some scholars said: The texts of Zād and Bulūgh, Suffice for one to attain genius. They indicated through this [the importance of] Zād al-Mustaqni’ with regards to the study of fiqh and Bulūgh al-Marām with regards to the study of hadīth.No book as exemplary has been authored since it that contains as many important points (muhimāt) and issues (masā’il) as Zād. In fact, Zād excelled in terms of quantity and content. It is said that there are approximately three thousand important points and issues mentioned and similarly another three thousand inferred from the text. Meaning that it possesses within it around six thousand issues. This is what we heard from some of the noble scholars of the madhab in our time. While [in the current time] the students of knowledge transmit from some of the contemporary scholars that the number of issues in Zād goes beyond thirty thousand. Thus one should not avoid it.

Detailed Chapters Clarifying Tawhid, Minor Shirk & Major Shirk By Shaykh ʿAbdul ʿAzīz bin ʿAbdullāh bin ʿAbdur Raḥmān ar-Rājiḥī ISBN:9781638487494 Author: Shaykh ʿAbdul ʿAzīz bin ʿAbdullāh bin ʿAbdur Raḥmān ar-Rājiḥī Book Binding: Soft cover Pages 137 Size: 6x9 inches Publication year:2021 Description About This Book: Tawhid: Tawhid is the core idea of Islamic monotheism, confirming faith in Allah's oneness. It includes the belief in Allah's uniqueness, singularity, and absolute sovereignty in His lordship, titles, and qualities, as well as His right to be worshiped alone. Tawhid is a very basic concept of Islam which is the backbone of the Muslim religionMinor Shirk: refers to acts or ideas that include associating partners with Allah but do not rise to the level of blatant polytheism. It can involve activities such as flaunting one's worship, seeking favors from objects or others in a way that jeopardizes Tawhid, or an excessive connection to material riches that leads to a neglect of one's relationship with Allah.Major Shirk: Major Shirk is the most serious kind of polytheism, in which a person ascribes partners to Allah in His sole divine characteristics or adoration. It entails identifying others with Allah in adoration, supplication, or imbuing created beings with divine traits. Major Shirk is a serious transgression that undermines the foundation of Tawhid. It’s incumbent for the Muslim to be concerned with renewing his ʾĪmān (i.e., correct Islāmic faith) in the evening and the morning by pondering on the meaning of the statement of Tawḥīd lā ilāha illa Allāh since there’s no success except for the people of Tawḥīd. For it is the statement of Islām. So, the Muslim (Muwahhid) must learn about Tawḥīd, implement it, be aware of its position, reject Shirk which is the opposite of Tawḥīd, have a hatred for associating partners with Allāh as well as those who practice it. The Muslim must deem the one who commits major Shirk (knowingly) is a disbeliever of the true Islāmic Faith. The Muslim must also be aware of the position of Shirk.

Starting with these summarized books is the basis for students. The student of knowledge should learn gradually, starting from the knowledge fundamentals and so on. These summarized books serve as a means to elaborate ones. The elaborate books cannot be understood without gradually grasping the summarized ones. Therefore, they commented on the meaning of what Allāh said: “On the contrary (he would say): “Be you Rabbaniyyun (learned men of religion who practice what they know and also preach others) because you are teaching the book, and you are studying it.” [Sūrah ʾĀl-ʿImrān (3):79] Rabbaniyyun refers to who starts teaching the simple matters before the complicated ones, as Al-Bukhari said on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās (May Allah be pleased with him): “Be you Rabbaniyyun”: means patient and learned.” It is said that Rabbani is the one who teaches people the simple matters of knowledge before the complicated ones.

Happiness isn’t a destination but a journey needing certain inner qualities and a right state of mind to experience and reap. It’s neither sold as a commodity nor can be bought, except through carefully crafting one’s character and following a plan of action. For indeed, those who don’t plan will fail to realize desired results. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Those among us (destined to be) from people of happiness [in the Hereafter] will (find it easy to) enact deeds of people of happiness...” [Sahih Al-Bukhari, #4948]. In other words, by choosing a path reflecting attitudes of happy people one will recognize its reality and the ease and pleasantry in having good deeds done that are in themselves, characteristics of happy people. It requires contemplation of an alternate world view to one that compounds first world problems, for example. Shaykh Nasir Al-Sa’di mentions in this short summary, eight ways to achieving the goal of bringing about happiness while driving away its opposites - sadness, grief, and anxiety. Reaching it is contingent on three main causes he identifies to leading a goodly life. These succinct pointers are easy to understand and you’ll be able to identify the impediments you need to rework and hence live your life with happiness. This will transform you into being the best Muslim you can in today’s complex world, and will also inspire you to train your inner self. Whoever follows these eight steps will find self-awareness and a pathway to joy and success in this life and the next, Insha’Allah.

The Dress Code For The Muslim in The Quran And Sunnah Women By Imam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaani Imam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaani (D. 1420H) ISBN: 9781904336693 Author: Imam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaani Book Binding: Paperback Pages 240 Size: 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.7 inch Publication year:2021 Description About This Book: "The Dress Code for Muslim Women" by Imam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaani is a detailed treatise on Islamic women's dress. Imam Al-Albaani presents a thorough explanation of the different features and criteria of Islamic clothing, drawing on the Quran and Sunnah. The book starts by highlighting the importance of humility in Islam. The Author said that if you think modesty is the only virtue to endorse by Allah But it's not the only virtue This establishes the groundwork for the ensuing consideration of the intricacies of Islamic women's attire. The most important requirement and primary requirement for Muslim women by Allah is to cover the complete body except for the face and hand He elaborates on the reasons behind this prescription and provides insights into the wisdom and benefits of following this dress code. Furthermore, the book looks into the various styles of attire that are considered appropriate under Islamic norms. Imam Al-Albaani bases his arguments on Islamic sources and academic interpretations throughout the text. He explains the fundamentals of Islamic attire, with the goal of providing clarity and advice to Muslim women in adhering to this aspect of their faith.  Allah, the Most High, said: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters, and the women of the believers, to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments,” — Al-Ahzaab (33): 59. In Islam, women are held in a high position: whether a woman is a daughter or a mother, single or married, rich or poor, Islam has honored all believing women. At the center of society is the family home, the heartbeat of which are the women who raise the next generation. This is why women are crucial to the making of a virtuous society. When women achieve righteousness, the world around them will in turn rectify and refine itself, because it is in the hands of women that upcoming nations are nurtured. Being a complete way of life, Islam has a code of conduct for both males and females, and one’s clothing is an aspect of good conduct that presents itself outwardly. Contrary to the flawed arguments of those who oppose Islam, our religion is one that venerates and respects women more than any other creed or ideology. In today’s society, many have discussed and debated the clothing of a Muslim woman. It has become a controversial issue that is often brought up to attack Islam, with some even going as far as to say that aspects of Muslim women’s clothing are oppressive or that they have nothing to do with the religion. The dress code for Muslim women is a matter of great importance which the Qur’an and Sunnah has already resolved for us. Following guidance outlined by both is a true mark of a believing woman, a sign of her piety, a means to elevating her rank and attaining the status of a woman of Paradise. This extensive text covers important attributes and intricate details related to the clothing of believing women, whom Allah mentions in the above verse alongside the wives and daughters of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him). Nobility, dignity, and respect lies in following what Allah and His Messenger have instructed us with, and it is the path to success in this life and the Hereafter. Having our dear sisters understand and apply in their lives what is published within these pages, is vital to achieving the pleasure of our Lord. In the words of the author, may Allah have mercy on him, “This is a fine thesis and a beneficial treatise, Insha'Allah, which I have compiled to make clear the clothing that it is incumbent upon the Muslim woman to wear when she goes out of her house and the conditions that she must fulfil in order for her garb to be Islamic. In doing so, I have relied on the Qur’an and Sunnah, being guided also by the traditions and sayings of the Companions (radiyAllahu`anhum) and the Imams.

Islamic Conquests Throughout The Ages by Dr Abdul Aziz Ibn Ibraheem Al Omary ISBN: 9786035004596 Author: Dr Abdul Aziz Ibn Ibraheem Al Omary Book Binding: Hardcover Pages 502 Size: 9.5 x 6.7 x 1.3 Publication year:2021 Description About This Book: The literal meaning of al-fath is the antonym of closure (i.e., opening), but what is meant by it here is the conquest of lands at war with the Muslims and the entry into the lands of the enemy.

It goes beyond to include all aspects of life, whether military, ethical or moral, which combined, caused the people, in the lands that were conquered, to embrace Islam willmgly and by conviction, triumphing the creed of Tawheed (professing and believing in Allah's Oneness), as opposed to shirk (idolatry or polytheism) that was common in those territories. The word futooh, with this general understanding, means the jihad (strive) which the Muslims undertook, the conquest of the lands, pavmg the way for the call to Allah and conveying the Religion of Islam to the world, and demolishing the iniquitous powers of evil that forbade the Muslims and the people in those different lands (from following Islam). It also includes the military events and the accompanying da'wah (call to Islam), beginning from the era of the Messenger of Allah ^, and becoming more prominent in its own sense during the era of the Caliphate Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq ^ and continued throughout the eras of the righteous Caliphs who succeeded him, and the other different Islamic eras that came after them, such as the Umayyads, the 'Abbasids, the Ayyubids, the Mameluks, the Ottomans and other Islamic states that followed them or were contemporaneous with them. It is also appropriate to include significant defensive operations in the events of the conquests whose aim was to repel enemies and protect previous conquests.

Both the Quran and the Sunnah mention them, and both are necessary for leading a moral and contented life. The ability to endure difficulties without grumbling is patience. It is the antithesis of rage and irritation. One of the secrets to prosperity in this world and the next is patience, a virtue that Allah rewards.The act of being grateful is expressing gratitude for one's blessings. It is the antithesis of ungratefulness. Being grateful is a quality that makes Allah happy and is essential to finding happiness in this life. Patience and gratitude have numerous advantages. We are able to overcome obstacles and accomplish our goals with patience. It also enables us to maintain composure and concentration under pressure. Being grateful makes it easier for us to recognize the positive aspects of our lives and fosters contentment with what we already have. This book is written to highlight the necessity and the pressing need to pursue these two qualities and to illustrate that happiness in this world and the Hereafter is dependent on them. It is intended to be a comprehensive, extensive and useful book. It contains a great amount of useful information, which is worthy of being held firmly and clung to vigorously. It is pleasing to the reader, plain to him who reads it thoroughly, engaging to the distressed, stimulating for the neglectful one, and encouraging for the one who is ready to work.

Perished Nations , Book of Penalties By Al-Hafiz Ibn Abi Al-Dunya  ISBN:9781904336716Author: Al-Hafiz Ibn Abi Al-DunyaBook Binding: PaperbackPages 176Size: 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.6 inchPublication year:2021DescriptionAbout This Book: “Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you if you repent, but if you return to sin, We will return to punishment...” [Al-’Isra, 8]Whether done in open or secret, sins have consequences. Some of their repercussions on an individual or society manifest in the removal of particular blessings, replaced then with trials and disgrace. When they transgressed against their Lord, belligerent nations came to witness agonising recompense, while those who belittled sins and insisted on committing them further hastened and increased the ferocity of their torment on earth. A Muslim is therefore, always fearful of any wrongdoing he falls into and is swift in turning back to Allah in repentance.“Many are the towns whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then We seized them. And to Me is the final return.” [Al-Hajj, 48]Originally compiled by the author over eleven hundred years ago, this book deals with matters relating to sin and its fallout. He selected various Prophetic narrations and sayings of the early Muslims to form the first genre of its kind. With this English rendering of ‘Kitab al-Uqubat’, readers will be able to understand the relationship between actions and events where one is a direct result of the other. They will also recognize remedial measures that diminish the punishment of Allah and return them back into the fold of His safety and grace.

Leaving Sufism, How I was guided to monotheism and the straight path By Shaykh Muhammad Jamil Zeno ISBN: 9781792378256Author: Shaykh Muhammad Jamil ZenoBook Binding: PaperbackPages 118Size: 9.0 x 6.0 x 0.3 inchPublication year:2021DescriptionAbout This Book: Shaykh Muhammad Jamil Zeno's book, Leaving Sufism: How I Was Guided to Monotheism and the Straight Path, describes his transition from Sufism to Salafism. Zeno spent many years studying Sufism before being born into a Sufi family in Syria. He finally quit the Sufi path, nevertheless, after coming to the conclusion that Sufism was against the Quran and Sunnah. Zeno explains the different versions of Suffic ideas and practices and makes a case study that they are not found on the Quran and the sunnah He also talks about the several issues he observed with Sufism, including its concentration on mysticism and its use of tawassul (seeking intercession with people other than Allah). Shaykh Muhammad Jamil Zeno tells of his journey of coming to the truth, from the polytheism of Sufism to the monotheism of Islam. "Another Sufi wanted to cultivate his soul and belittle it, so he carried a bag around his neck and filled it with nutmeg fruit. He went to the market, and every time a child passed by him,he would say to him, "Spit in my face so I can give you a nutmeg fruit." It is a fruit that the children love, so the child would spit in his face, and he would give him a nutmeg fruit. And like this, the spit from the children came in succession on the face of the shaykh, desiring to take the nutmeg fruit, while the Sufi shaykh was happy. When I heard these two stories, I almost burst with rage and my chest became tightened from this corrupt cultivation that Islam is free from."
