[SJ] Kitab al-Umm (11 vols) – كتاب الأم

From the very first moment, the reader embarks on a journey into the depths of their own self, attempting to strip away the “makeup” of pretense and the debris of neglect. This journey illuminates the gray area between the true self and its image, seeking ways to break free from the inflated “ego,” akin to “shock” therapy.

One might say, “I want to repent, but who can guarantee that Allah will forgive me if I do so? I want to follow the Straight Path, but I feel very hesitant. If I know for sure that Allah would forgive me, I would definitely repent.” Shaykh Muhammad Sâlih al-Munajjid, may Allah reward him, gives a clear-cut response to such doubts and questions in this booklet. In order that the response reassures everybody concerned, it is based on the Noble Qur’an and the honourable Sunnah, quoting many verses and hadiths confirming that Allah’s mercy and forgiveness embrace all creation and are greater than any and all sins. The Shaykh then goes on to explain the preconditions and necessary steps for achieving true repentance, at which Allah is just waiting to forgive any of His penitent servants.
