Animal Welfare in Islam This book attempts to bring out the kind and compassionate Islamic teachings regarding animal welfare. The Islamic instruction and guidance on animals' needs and man's obligations concerning animals is so comprehanesive that Muslims need not go elsewhere for any guidance. Not to be cruel or even to be condescendingly kind to the so-called inferior animals is a negative proposition. Islam wants its adherents to think and act in the positive terms of accepting all species as communities like us in their own right and not to sit in judgement on them according to our human norms and values. The book also examines animal sacrifice as practised by the adherents of major world religions. It raises the issue of the mass production of meat and exhorts the Muslim community, in the West particularly, to tackle the issue of 'Halal' meat in an appropriate manner.

“Backbiting: The Way To Hellfire” emphasizes on the fact that Quran, at several places, has stressed that Backbiting is an unforgivable sin. This book will make the readers realize how much sinful they become in the eye of Allah Almighty by backbiting. “Backbiting: The Way To Hellfire” throws light upon the fact that a person who backbites in destined for nowhere but Hell.

In a time when the West pushes its deficient values and misguided moral codes on the cultures of the world, it is imperative that Muslims realize the completeness of the guidance of the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace), and realize that our true honor and distinction among the nations, as well as our success in the Hereafter, lies in embracing his guidance, in all affairs of belief and action. Based on the scholars' continual advice to the Muslim youth, combined with the specific need that Muslims in the West have to understand and implement upright moral character, the importance of this book and the need for its translation into the English language becomes crystal clear. And what better guidebook than one based on the character of the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace), authored by an exemplary scholar like Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymeen, known for his outstanding manners!

ABOUT THE BOOK According to the teachings of al-Islam, the desires and appetites play a vital part in the makeup of every human being; they cannot be ignored. The children of Adam, unlike the angels, face the challenge in this life of mastering these forces within us. If we fail to do so, then we become the servants of our appetites and thus fall below the level of the animal kingdom. The hallmarks and influences of a "civilizations" which in practical terms almost enforces the domination of human desires and lusts over the traditional belief in the need to heed one's consciences and principles and exercise restraint are to be seen all around us. So are the consequences, which are manifestly unhappy in this world, let alone the Next World. The keys to a happy and fulfilled life are to be found in the guidance contained in the Holy Qur'an and in the Sunna of the Blessed Prophet Muhammad, whose lifestyle embodied a perfect balance between enjoyment and abstention.In this book a distinguished Egyptian writer presents an authoritative and compelling account of the wise and practical teachings of Islam on how to deal with lust and greed.

Stories of Repentance Who among us does not sin? And who among us does all that is required of him in the religion? It is an undeniable fact that we all have shortcomings; what distinguishes some of us from the others, what raises some of us above the others, is that the successful ones among us are those who repent their sins and ask Allah to forgive them. It is truly encouraging to know that the door to repentance is always open. Glad tidings, then, to every Muslim who constantly and consistently hastens to repent to Allah and to ask for His forgiveness. by Muhammad Abduh Mughawiri

Just as men have duties that are not binding upon women... such as praying in congregation, providing for one's family, fighting in the way of Allah, etc.; women have duties that are not binding upon men.... such as wearing Hijab, raising children while the men are gone out to work, etc. This involves nothing more than a distribution of duties. The choice is with every woman: Will she follow the ideas and morals that are formulated by human beings, whose minds are inherently deficient, or will she follow what her Lord has commanded her to do?
