Awaking From the Sleep of Heedlesness by Ibn al-Jawzi

TITLE: Awaking From the Sleep of Heedlesness

AUTHOR: Ibn al-Jawzi

PUBLISHER: Dar as-Sunnah

LANGUAGE: English

DESCRIPTION:

There are those who submit to Allah’s order and achieve success. Others are wasteful of time and thereby loss and regret. Whoever lives his life in accordance with Allah’s commands, will be rewarded handsomely with multiplied profits beyond imagination. The corrupt one who acts contrarily to Divine Pleasure will be destroyed.

The eternal life of unimaginable bliss in Paradise can only be realised by working towards it in this ephemeral wordly life. Whoever wastes his life is indeed a loser. Therefore a sensible person should understand the value of his life and reflect on his state, so that he captures that which can never be restored, if missed, His ruin lies in wasting thses golden opportunities.

This fourth masterpiece in the series expounds on the five stages of life: the first stage of encouraging and disciplining; the second stage of youthfulness, protecting the self and struggling against desires; the third of maturity; the fourth stage of old age; the fifth stage of decrepitude. The onset of these periods may vary slightly from person to person. Nonetheless these five stages are true. This is truly a work of genius.

Al-'Ubudiyyah by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

TITLE: Al-'Ubudiyyah, Being A True Slave of Allah

AUTHOR: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

PUBLISHER: Ta-Ha Publisher 

LANGUAGE: English (translated from Arabic) 

DESCRIPTION:

Every person must have an ultimate aim which is the focus of his love and will. If a person does not have Allah as the focus of his love and will, he will inevitably be enslaved by something else, whether it be his own pride and arrogance, wealth, power or something that he takes as god instead of Allah. The heart cannot be sound, or succeed, or find joy, or be happy, or feel pleasure, or be good, or be at peace, or find tranquillity, except by worshipping its Lord, loving Him and returning to Him.

Patience and Gratitude by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

TITLE: Patience and Gratitude

AUTHOR: Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

PUBLISHER: Ta-Ha Publisher 

LANGUAGE: English  (translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

Patience and gratitude is an abridged translation of 'Uddat as-sabirin wa dhakirat ash-shakirin, a work which is well-known in the ARAB world but which has been inaccessible to English-speaking Muslims until now. In this book, the authoe explains the Islamic concept of sabr (patience, fortitude) and its counterpart, shukr (gratitude), in a practical fashion which shows how these important spiritual values may be incorporated into everyday life.

Bought this book for months but never have the time to read. But alhamdulillah finally I been able to finish it. Just like what the description says, this is a very good book. When you are being tested by Him, you should practice patience. When He give you rizq, you should be grateful by showing your gratitude. The author explains how to be patience, how to be grateful to Him. When I read this book, it really get into me.

33 Ways of Developing Al-Khushoo' Humility and Devotion in Prayer by Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid

TITLE: 33 Ways of Developing al-Khushoo' Humility and Devotion in Prayer

AUTHOR: Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid

PUBLISHER: International Islamic Publishing House (IIPH)

LANGUAGE: English (Translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

As-Salah is the greatest practical pillar of Islam and Al-Khushoo' means calmness, concentration, humility and being present-minded while performing prayers. Fear of Allah is the most important cause of khushoo' as one always thinks that Allah is always watching him. Making the heart submissive and humble before Allah is one of the most important causes of khushoo', because if the heart is corrupted by the insinuating whispers of Satan, the acts of the body faculties will also be corrupt. Part of khushoo' is being submissive and humbling oneself out of the fear of Allah.

The khushoo' of true faith can be attained when the heart feels aware and humble before the greatness and glory of Allah when one stands for as-Salah full of fear, awe, hope and the recognition of the the blessings if Allah and the reward one seeks by performing as-salah.

In this valuable book, which is highly recommended for every Muslim as it deals with the greatest practical pillar of Islam, the author has efficiently featured out the causes of khushoo' and those of distraction to enable the reader to know the satanic plots and be able to perform this pillar of Islam in the best manner. Since as-salah is the most important practical pillar of Islam and the first obligatory worship act for which reckoning in the Hereafter will take place, such a book becomes indispensable.

Fortress of the Muslim by Said bin Wahf al-Qahtani

TITLE: Fortress of the Muslim

AUTHOR: Said bin Wahf al-Qahtani

PUBLISHER: Dakwah Corner Bookstore

LANGUAGE: English (translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

Invocations from the Qur'an & Sunnah. Translation of Hisnul-Muslim

This is a very beautiful booklet consists of many authentic Dua's (supplications) for a Muslim to supplicate on a daily basis and on special occasions.

Author's Note:

This book is an abridgment of my earlier work entitled, Adh-Dhikr wad-Du'a wal-'llaj bir-Ruqyah mina'-Kitab was-Sunnah. In order to make it small and easily portable, I have chosen only the section on words of remembrance for this abridgment. To achieve this, I only mentioned the text of the words of remembrance instead of the entire Hadith. I also limited myself to mentioning only one or two references from the original book for each Hadith. Whoever would like to know about the Companion who related a particular Hadith, or more information about where it is recorded, should refer to the original work (mentioned above). I ask Allah the Glorious, the Mighty, by His beautiful Names and by His sublime Attributes to accept this as having been done sincerely for His sake alone. I ask Him to bring me its benefits during my lifetime and after my death. May those who read it, those who print it, or have had any role in distributing it, benefit from it also. Surely He, glory be unto Him, is Capable of all things. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and upon his family and Companions and whoever follows them in piety until the Day of Judgment.

TITLE: An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'aan

AUTHOR: Abu Ammaar Yasir Qadhi

PUBLISHER: Al-Hidaayah Publishing & Distribution, UK

LANGUAGE: English

DESCRIPTION:

An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'aan presents a detailed and thorough explanation of the sciences related to the history, understanding and implementation of the Qur'aan. The book provides the English reader with a detailed analysis of classic Muslim scholarship regarding: the process of Inspiration (wahy); the various means of classifying verses of the Qur'aan; the history of the compilation of the Qur'aan; the meaning of the seven ahruf and the ten qira'aat of the Qur'aan; the miraculous nature of the Qur'aan; the concept of abrogation in the Qur'aan; the procedure and methodology of tafseer; and many other topics. The work has a number of sections dedicated to explaining the traditional Muslim refutations of certain beliefs of the Ash'arees with regards to the Qur'aan. This book also includes detailed discussions on modern Western scholarship of the Qur'aan. After presenting a history of the English translation of the Qur'aan, along with a critical review of some translations, the author discusses and refutes common Orientalist polemic literature on the Qur'aan. The work is unique in that it presents classical material in a simple and modern style, while maintaining a high academic level. It is the most advanced work of its kind in the English language, and a necessary reference for all serious students of Islamic knowledge.

MY REVIEW:
I use this book during my Diploma level. If you want to know about Quran - history, rules, qira'at, nasakh mansukh, etc - this is what I would recommend to you. The content of this book is more like academic-style, one that you need to think and study carefully. Not a book for flash reading but a good source of reference.

The Correct Islamic Aqidah & That Which Opposes It by Shaykh 'Abdul Aziz Ibn Baz

TITLE: The Correct Islamic Aqidah & That Which Opposes It

AUTHOR: Shaykh 'Abdul Aziz Ibn Baz

PUBLISHER: Dar as-Sunnah Publishers

LANGUAGE: English (Translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

The correct Aqidah is the foundation of Islam and the foundation stone of the Islamic nation. It is known though evidences of the sharer'ah from the Book and the sunnah, that one's actions and statements can only be correct and acceptable to Allah when they arise from a correct 'Aqidah. If, however, the 'Aqidah is not correct then the actions and statements that arise due to it are invalid. 

The evidences in the clear Book of Allah and in the sunnah of his truthful Messenger sall Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam show the correct 'Aqidah in brief, to be; Imaan in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and Predestination the good and the bad of it. These six matters are the fundamentals of the correct 'Aqidah with which Allah the Almighty revealed His Book and sent His Messenger Muhammad sall Allaahu alayhi wa sallam.

The Benefits of Fearing Allah by Imam Muhammad Salih al-'Uthaymin

TITLE: The Benefits of Fearing Allah

AUTHOR: Imam Muhammad Salih al-'Uthaymin

PUBLISHER: Dar as-Sunnah Publishers

LANGUAGE: English (Translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

Fearing Allah is the shield for us and our families in this life, for whoever fears Allah then he is protected. It is from amongst the best provisions for a believer, benefiting him in this world, easing his affairs for him, protecting him from Shaytaan, causing him to enjoy high station in this world, as well as ease and good tidings at the time of death. Fearing Allah is a treasure which each one of us should seek and compete for as the virtues, blessing and fruits attached to it are vast.

Indeed the advice which Allah has given to His servants from the time of Aadam up until now, has been to have taqwa (fear) of Him.

The Pious Predecessors (salaf) did not stop giving mutual advice for having taqwaa (fear) of Allah in their sermons, their corresponding letters and their testaments after the Messenger of Allah passed away.

The author lists 24 benefits which a believer can attain in this world due to having fear of Allah.

And 22 benefits which a believer can attain in the Hereafter due to having fear of Allah.

It has been compiled simply and concisely, with verses of the Qur'an, sayings of the Prophet (pbuh), and reports from the pious predecessors.

We ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic to make us from His servants who have fear of Him and who are thankful. All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

The Reality of Sufism in Light of the Qur'aan and Sunnah by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Rabee' Ibn Hadee al-Madkhalee

TITLE: The Reality of Sufism in Light of the Qur'aan and Sunnah

AUTHOR: Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Rabee' Ibn Hadee al-Madkhalee

PUBLISHER: Al-Hidaayah Publishing & Distribution, UK

LANGUAGE: English (Translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

You must be aware that there are a number of destructive calls which have been established amongst the ranks of the Muslims and which have shaken and damaged the belief held in there hearts. They have polluted the pure Islamic 'aqeedah, and have grown by stages to reach such a dangerous level that they led to the splitting of the Muslims into sects and the parties, about which the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed those who were before you, from the people of the book, split into seventy-two sects, and this religion will split seventy-three. Seventy-two in the fire and one in the paradise and it is the Jammaa'ah."

Then there is no doubt that each one of these sects claims for itself that it is the saved sect, and that it is correct, and that it alone follows the Messenger. But the way of truth is a single way and it is the one which leads to salvation, and any other way is one of the ways of miss guidance which leads to destruction.

So the way of truth is to cling to the book of Allaah and the Sunnah of Allaah's Messenger (S) as occurs in the hadeeth: I have left amongst you two things whith which you will not go astray: The Book of Allah and my Sunnah, and they will not be separated till they come to me at the Pond.

Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah by Shaykh Abu 'Abdu-r-Rahman Nasir as-Sa'di

TITLE: Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah

AUTHOR: Shaykh Abu 'Abdu-r-Rahman Nasir as-Sa'di

PUBLISHER: Dar as-Sunnah

LANGUAGE: English (Translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

From the most noble and lofty stations of cognisance is to know the Lord, the Glorious, through His beauty. This is the knowledge possessed by the elite of this creation. All of them know Him through and Attribute from amongst His Attributes but those amongst them who have the most complate cognisance are those who know Him through His perfection, magnificence and beauty. There is nothing comparable to Him in any of His Attributes, if you were to assum that the while of creation was in its most exquisite form, and you were to try and compare their collective outward and inward beauty to the beauty of the Lord, the Glorious, the comparison would be more ineffectual than a faint torch being held against the blazing dist of the sun.

This treatise has been extracted from the opening words of Shaykh Abu 'Abdu-r-Rahman Nasir as-Sa'di, may Allah have mercy upon him, to his tafsir of the Qur'an, Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman, in which he succinctly and beautifully explains those Names of Allah that occur in the Qur'an. After each explanation the translator has added some verses of the Qur'an showing the usage of the particular Name in question. It should also be noted that the author, may Allah have mercy upon him, has only mentioned those Names that occur in the Qur'an and these come to a total of eighty-nine in his view.

Additional Names mentioned in Qur'an have been added from the work of ibn 'Uthaymin, Qawa'idu-l-Muthla fi Sifati-Allahi wa Asma'hi-l-Husna, bringing the toal to one hundred and three.

Before proceeding to the treatise some general principles with regards the Names of Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent are presented.

PUBLISHER: International Islamic Publishing House

DESCRIPTION:

Young people are humanity's future wealth. They offer hope and strength to their nations and the directions they take in their lives determine the fate of their people. Understanding, addressing, and solving their problems and worries are thus of utmost importance for all members of society.

In this unique and lucid booklet, the revered contemporary scholar, Shaykh Muhammad al-ʻUthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him), addresses some of the ideological and sociological challenges faced by modern youth.Starting with an astute description of the state of modern young adults, he outlines major issues hindering their progress on the straight path of Islam.

In all instances, al-ʻUthaymeen draws on the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah to offer tangible solutions and to inspire the hearts of young people.

The simplicity and straightforwardness of this work make even complicated issues easy to grasp. The wise advice the author offers is not only well-presented but practical and compassionate. This book will benefit not only the young of society but their parents and educators as well.

Imitating the Disbelievers by al-Hafidh Adh-Dhahabi

TITLE: Imitating the Disbelievers

AUTHOR: al-Hafidh Adh-Dhahabi (al-ha-fiz  az-za-ha-bee)

PUBLISHER: Dar us-Sunnah Publishers

LANGUAGE: English (translated from Arabic)

DESCRIPTION:

The title of this treatise is, Tashabbuh al Khasis bi Ahli l Khamis fi r Radd at Tashabbuh bi l Mushrikin And thus entitled in English as "Imitating the Disbelievers".

It is truly distressing to find the ignorant masses losing much knowledge and understanding of what the righteous Salaf were upon comprising their holding firm to the Straight Path, their avoiding innovations and their shunning the distinguishing features of the denizens of Hell. Similarly it is distressing to find the ignorant ones of the Khalaf following every sinful, misguided individual. There is no might or movement except with Allah the Most High, the Great!

How can you bring yourself to imitate a people, who are but fuel for the fire?!

Where would such a practice take you except to the anger of Allah and his displeasure Provided He does not forgive you that is, and provided that you know that your Prophet, Muhammad used to encourage differing from the People of the Book in everything that was specific to them.

The Muslim children are raised upon loving their festivals of disbelief due to what is prepared in them of playful pastimes, new clothes, food, loaves of bread and other such things. What an evil teacher you are, O Muslim, if you do not prohibit your family and children from this and you do not explain to them that these are the practices of the disbelievers and that it is not permissible for us to join in with them or imitate them. Satan has adorned these practices for many of the ignorant masses and the negligent scholars.

How will you be able to look at the face of your Prophet tomorrow, on the Day of Judgment You have opposed his Sunnah and enacted the action of a disbelieving people, those who are misguided, those who are enemies of this religion!

O Allah Give life to our hearts through following the pure Sunnah, and extend Your tawfiq to us, do not leave us to our selves even for a minute, guide us to the Straight Path and save us from indecent deeds and innovations, the outward and hidden. 

Amin O Lord of the Worlds.

MY REVIEW:

A very good book especially we are in era where Muslim's traditions are being cut off and we take so many ideologies and ways from the disbelievers whereas the matter have been address to us by the Rasulullah Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam and his Companions. There are many actions that we didn't realize we are imitating the disbelievers from our way of speaking, dressing, eating and lots more. The author explains the consequences of imitating the disbeliever and the reminder from the Quran and also the words of Rasulullah Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam.
