In short, this book addresses all humanity to the Qur'an. It serves as a key eye-opener to all of us to open our minds and hearts to the Book of Allah.

To excel in leadership, one must have very special qualities. Some acquire such qualities as they grow more mature, while others possess them from the outset. The later are called “born leaders,” the Prophet Muhammad being the best example. His conduct and qualities made it possible for him to excel in all branches of management and leadership to a degree which is still unmatched to date. Young, would be leaders should, therefore, endeavour to acquire these exceptionally befitting qualities, so as to surpass all others in the field of management, thus achieving the goal of leadership. In this present volume compiled by Abdul Ghani Ahamed Barrie the characteristics necessary for leadership are listed in alphabetical order. Supporting extracts from the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad and the applicable, translated verses from the Quran appear throughout the book.

Allah’s Creation is wonderful; His beauty is in everything--every tiny grain of sand, every raindrop, every leaf, and every living thing. We can study the things spread out before us and learn from them and draw hope from them. Through a wider appreciation of His wonderful Creation, we can praise and honor the Almighty. This Book helps us in doing so by presenting inspiring thoughts from the Quran on Nature

A lengthy process, rich in remarkable and thought-provoking events, including compelling encounters with Islamic philosophy, led the author to embrace Islam. His experiences since that time - such as his pilgrimages to Makkah - further deepened his understanding of, and identification with, this "fastest growing religion in Europe." This "Diary" is, however, much more than a recorded soliloquy. It is a lively introduction to Islam as such - developed in the spiritual confrontation of a Muslim intellectual of European background with the ideology and value system of post-industrial western society.

To equip the youths of the Muslim ummah with religious education and training is an important duty. The author has compiled a very beneficial and authentic publication "Taleemul Haq" to educate the Muslims in their beliefs and practices. In it the basic beliefs, practices, character and devotional aspects (of a Muslim life) have been explained in simple language with the ruling on Wudhu, Namaz, Fasting etc. If children read, understand and practice accordingly, then Insha Allah their lives can be molded according to the sunnah and they will be safe from ignorance and being led astray.

Immediate repentance from all types of sins is necessary 'Except those who repent, believe and do good deeds: (for) those ALLAH will exchange their sins for good deeds. Allah is extremely Forgiving and Merciful.' *'Allah accepts the repentance of His servant as long as he does not croak (on his death bed).' '*Paradise has eight entrances all of which open and shut except the entrance of Taubah. This entrance has an angel guarding it so that it does not shut. So repent and do not despair.' (from the book)

MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW deals with some aspects of Muslim civil law which historically have been implemented both under Muslim and non-Muslim colonial rule. This book is for anyone who wishes to acquire more than a superficial knowledge of the subject. It summarizes comprehensively those aspects of the Shari'ah that govern the most fundamental personal relationships in a straightforward way. It represents one of the mainstream Sunni attempts to codify these aspects of Islamic law, based on centuries of practical application and experience, relying mainly on the Hanafi madhhab. As such, although it is as impossible to codify Islam as it is to codify life itself, it nevertheless provides the reader with a reliable checklist of the identifiable features of the Shari'ah which govern the fundamental milestones in life which most people experience during their life's journey: birth, childhood, marriage, divorce, death and inheritance.

In the Quran, unlike the edited sacred texts of the other messengers, we have the direct guidance of Allah sent as revelations over a period of 23 years to Prophet Muhammad. In this small book the author has made a selection of direct commands, orders from Allah that apply to each one of us, male or female, old or young, clever or simple, rich or poor. They are not random choices. They are the things that Allah specially wishes us to do.

This book is a repository of Islamic information, knowledge and wisdom, which not only the general reader but also both student and teacher alike will find indispensable. As well as having its own Alphabetical index, the main body of the book is divided into several key sections including General and Historical Terms, The Qur’an, Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh, kalam and Sufiim. As well as presenting a key vocabulary of relevant terminology, each sections also provides details of key text, author and people. This makes it possible for readers to go straight to a particular field or topic without having to pick their way through material not directly relevant to their enquiry, as well as pointing them in the likely direction of further and more detailed research. Although knowledge is an ocean without a shore, the key terminology in this concise yet complete work is bound to assist any genuine seeker to navigate a sure and steady course, insha’allah.
