Sayyid Abul A’la Mawdudi (1903-79), one of the twentiet-century’s leading Muslim intellectuals and revivalists, wrote Islami Tahdhib awr uskey Usul-o-Mabadi in the 1930s at a time when the momentum for independence was growing in British India. In Islamic Civilization: Its Foundational Beliefs and Principles, Mawdudi attempts to bring out the vital relationship between the concept of civilization and Islam’s underlying worldview and vision of life. He argues that the true understanding of Islamic civilization is possible only by having access to the soul of that civilization and its underlying fundamental principles – belief in God, the angels, the Prophets, the Revealed Books and the Last Day – rather than to its manifestations in knowledge, literature, fine arts or rhetoric, its social life, its notions of refined living or its system of governance.

Who Is Allah? (H/B)
Who is Allah? is more than just a book about Allah’s names and attributes. It aims to build a bridge between knowledge of Allah and practical application of this knowledge in a person’s daily life. By delving into why knowledge of Allah is important and how to apply this knowledge, the reader is given a means upon which to act in his or her quest for a close and rewarding relationship with Allah.
Over 100 of Allah’s names are individually discussed, providing proof from the Qur’an and Sunnah, explanation of their meanings, useful applications, and supplications utilizing each from the Messenger of Allah. Over 60 of Allah’s attributes are given specialized attention as well, all for the sake of providing a thorough and comprehensive approach to the most important subject matter that a person can learn about – Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
Stages & Means of Seeking Knowledge (P/B)
a small excerpt from the book:
“And those who disbelieve say: “Why is not the Quran revealed to him all at once?” Thus (it is sent down in parts), that We may strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you gradually, in stages.”[1]”[2]
Al-Zarnooji -rahimahullah- said, “Imam Sharf ul-Din al-Uqayli – rahimahullah- used to say, “My opinion regarding learning knowledge is in agreement with what our teachers taught us. They used to teach beginners level one books because they are understandable, easy to memorize, enjoyable, and common. A beginner should not write down something he does not understand because it numbs the intelligence and is a waste of time. Instead, a beginner should focus on the task of understanding his teacher through deep thinking and repetition. Significantly, the smaller the portion in one class with repetition the more progress in understanding. A famous saying states: Memorizing two letters is better than hearing two loads, and understanding two letters is better than memorizing two loads.”[3]
The Three Fundamentals, The Four Precepts & The Conditions Of Prayer (P/B)
(I have only created Jinn and men, but to worship me)
And the most common and lofty way of worship Allah, as we all know, is to pray. Pray, pray, pray.
But how will we react if we find out that after years and years of praying, our prayer is performed incorrectly?!?!
Some of us would be angry… actually, very very angry… while some will be dissappointed and wishing that they knew the correct way of praying earlier…
This book covers all of the guidelines of prayer, and what you need to do before, after, and during prayer, to keep you from that humiliating moment of “learning it the hard way.”
So once this book is between your hands, flip through its thin pages and earn the knowledge of your deen as you sit on the cushions of a warm, comfortable couch.
Disturber Of The Hearts
The third masterpiece in the series addresses the disturbing phenomena of unrealistic hope, lack of fear of Allah, and wishful thinking.
Purity of Faith (P/B)
The order to live one’s life in accordance to the dictates of Tawhid, monotheism, is the single most important injunction laid down by the revealed law, it formed the core of the call of all Prophets and was the essential message of all revealed scripture. To worship Allah based on Tawhid is the purpose of human existence, and it is through this worship that man achieves a sense of fulfilment and contentment; in the words of one of the scholars, ‘he enters a paradise in this world before entering the Paradise of the next.’
This book, apportioned in sixty-seven chapters, deals with many aspects of Tawhid, all of them essential learning for any Muslim. Its focal topic revolves around issues of ulùhiyyah, divinity and `ibadah, worship, with some chapters dealing with al-Asmm wa’l-Sifat, the Names and Attributes of Allah. Its simple language, well-ordered structure, and heavy reliance on Qur’anic verses and Hadith of the Prophet (saw) lends it to easy reading and its importance cannot be underestimated.
Kitab al-Tawhid is a landmark work analysing orthodox Islamic monotheism. Since it was authored it has received a great deal of attention, a large number of commentaries and has been translated into over twenty languages. Relevant as it was then, it remains relevant today and Muslims are in dire need of reading it, studying it and teaching it.
Unfortunately, despite previous laudable efforts, a translation does not yet exist in English that truly reflects the importance of this work. It gives Dar us-Sunnah great pleasure to present this work to the reader in the hope that it fills this gap

Belief In Allah – Islamic Creed Series 1
Aqidah and Creed
Islamic Beliefs
In this era of confusion, innovation, and division, it is essential for Muslims to monitor their beliefs and their approach to Islam, so that they may be certain that they are following the path of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the early generation of pious Muslims (the salaf). Without careful attention, a Muslim may live his or her whole life following a deviant path filled with innovation, thinking that he or she is doing the right thing, only to find out – when it is too late – that this path only leads to hell. Islamic Beliefs: A Brief Introduction to the ‘Aqeedah of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamâ‘ah is written in a straightforward style, distilling the knowledge of the scholars and making it accessible to the ordinary Muslim. It touches on the main points of ‘aqeedah (fundamental Islamic beliefs or creed) and explains the main features of the path of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the early generation, with brief references to deviant groups in order to show the contrast between the path of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the paths of the deviant groups, between light and darkness, guidance and misguidance. The straightforward approach of this book will allow the reader to follow its arguments and develop a clear picture of the proper approach to and interpretation of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. This is a book which should be on every Muslim’s bookshelf, so that they will have at their fingertips a concise and readily-accessible reference for the basic issues of their religion.
A Concise Presentation Of The Creed Of Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jama’ah
A Concise presentation of THE CREED OF AHLUS SUNNAH WAL-JAMA’AH: is an explanation on the beliefs of the Pious Predecessors of this Ummah. They include the companions, their followers and successors who have followed them in goodness and those who upheld the real and true Islam brought by the last Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Al-‘Ubudiyyah: Being a True Slave of Allah
Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah defines the concept of worship in Islam and explains that to be a true “slave of Allah” is a status of both virtue and nobility. The title “slave of Allaah” is one of great honor which Allah bestowed upon the best of creation, Muhammad (SAW). Ibn Taymiyyah highlights the prevalent traps which people fall into, when becoming enslaved by, or allowing their hearts to become attached to worldly objects. The emphasis is on servitude to Allah which is adorned with the true love we hold for Him in our hearts — a matter of central importance for every Muslim.
Highly Recommended for the young blooded who Want to Run before they can Walk and even the Old timers ‘Who sometimes are so comfortable Walking that they have forgotten that there is sometimes a need to run’ in the Path Towards Allah.
Divine Will and Predestination; Islamic Creed Series Vol. 8
The will and decree of Allah: Is this a matter which is directly relevant to the day-to-day life of the Muslim, or is it an obscure topic best left to the debates of philosophers and theologians? Does it imply that Muslims are ‘fatalists’ who see themselves as helpless in the hands of an indifferent fate? Attitudes towards divine will and predestination have always influenced Muslims’ daily activities. In this final volume of his eight-volume Islamic Creed Series, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar explores this topic in depth, explaining it in clear terms for the ordinary Muslim. Drawing always on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and on the words of the greatest scholars of Islam such as Ibn Taymiyah, he covers some of the historical debates that took place within the Ummah on this matter. The true Islamic concept of divine will and predestination is an empowering notion. While all that happens takes place within the framework of the divine will, people have freedom of choice within those parameters. This is a matter which is of interest and concern for all Muslims, one which will bring many benefits, both in this world and in the hereafter. This Islamic Creed Series of books has been translated into English by Nasiruddin al-Khattab.
Essentials Of Bid’ah
Essentials of Bid’ah forms the second and the third section of the book titled: Da’watu Ahl-Bid’ah (Inviting the People Of Innovations). In a very concise manner Shaykh Khalid bin Ahmad Az Zahraanee expounded on both the lexical and juristic meaning of the word Bid’ah, it’s evil effects and the words of disparagement, categories of Bid’ah, dealing with the people of Bid’ah, that has been mentioned in the Qur’an, the Sunnah of the Prophet, the statements and actions of the Companions and those who follow in their footsteps from the scholars over time regarding Bid’ah and its people.

The Relief From Distress : An Explanation to the dua of Prophet Yunus (P/B)
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah sanctify his soul, was asked about the saying of the Prophet (pbuh),
The invocation of my brother Yunus, “none has the right to be worshipped save You; glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers,” none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah would relieve him of his difficulty.
What is the meaning of this du’a (prayer, supplication)?
Are their any unstated conditions that have to be met when one articulates it?
What is the connection between belief in the heart and the meaning of this supplication such that it leads to the removal of difficulty?
Why did he explicitly confess, ‘I have been amongst the wrong-doers’ when it is known that tawhid in itself leads to the removal of difficulty?
Is it sufficient to acknowledge ones’ sin alone, or must this be accompanied by repentance and the firm resolve not to repeat that sin in the future?
Why is it that difficulty and harm is removed only when a person relinquishes any hope, reliance and dependency upon the creation?
How can the heart relinquish the characteristic of putting hope in the creation and depending on them, and instead put its hope in Allah, Exalted is He, and turn to Him in its entirety?
What are the methods that would aid the heart in doing this?
The author replies to these questions in the form of this book.

كتاب “تاريخ الطبري” تاريخ “الرسل والملوك” أو الأمم والملوك من أهم كتب المصادر في مجال التاريخ، إذ يعد أوفى عمل تاريخي بين مصنفات العرب أقامه مصنفه على منهج مرسوم، وساقه في طريق استقرائي شامل، بلغت فيه الرواية مبلغها من الثقة والأمانة، أكمل ما قام به المؤرخون قبله، كاليعقوبي والبلاذري، والواقدي، ومهد لمن جاء بعده كالمسعودي، وابن مسكويه وابن الأثير وابن خلدون ولم يقتصر على تاريخ الإسلام بل أرخ لما قبل الهجرة بل ابتدأ من القول في ابتداء الخلق ما كان أوله

Singing and Music In Islamic Perspective (H/B)
This compelling and beautifully researched book clarifies the rulings on singing and music and the harm they inflict on the heart, the individual, the family, and the ummah.

These things turn people away from the Qur’an, worship, and obedience – the keys to the beautification and serenity of the heart; the removal of all worries and distress; and happiness in this world and the next.
