Allāh describes divine knowledge in the Holy Qur’ān as a “Light”. Amongst the qualities of light are purity and guidance. The Holy Prophet (s) has clearly explained this concept in many blessed Ahādeeth and has also taught us many supplications in which we ask for beneficial knowledge. It is apparent then that to acquire this true knowledge certain etiquettes and a certain character is required since Allāh will not bestow His sacred divine trust upon anyone. This book is a golden tool for every sincere student of knowledge wishing to mould his/her character and engrain those correct qualities in order to be worthy of receiving the great gift of Ilm from Allāh. It contains many simple instructions, examples, accounts of some great scholars and Islamic personalities and advice from teachers who have themselves trodden the path.

For centuries, the Quran has been the source of God's wisdom for Muslims throughout the world.

For moments of contentment, or at times of great tribulation, the timeless wisdom of the following pages will prove a source of inspiration and comfort for readers of all races and creeds.

It is with great sadness and regret that our youth are embroiled in worthless pastime and amusement which is gradually taking them away from the Deen and most drastically from our Creator Allāh. Our beloved Prophet (s) said, “Seeking knowledge is compulsory upon every Muslim.” It is therefore very important that we educate ourselves, our loved ones, our children and our youth about Islām, Who our Creator is, and who Prophet Muhammad (s) was. If we were to truly realise the importance Islām places on knowledge and its virtues, then we will definitely be keen to learn and teach others. We would start with ourselves, our families, then our neighbours and the community at large. It is the author’s hope to introduce this book to our young children in Islamic schools and Madrasahs so that each child or adult student can cherish the treasures of knowledge they will learn. I am confident that this book will be a very beneficial tool if it is included in the educational syllabus. The book is also ideal for the whole family to learn new knowledge and facts about Islām in an enjoyable way!

Islām regards marriage as a great act of worship because it is a responsible affair and a means of preventing a person from many forms of sins i.e. fornication, casting of the gaze upon unlawful things etc. Islām has explained in great detail the concept of marriage and all what is affiliated to it. In spite of the fact that marriage is supposed to be a peaceful and a tranquil affair, today it has become a very questionable matter irrespective of one’s religion, ethnicity, gender and prosperity. It has now become a disturbing and worrying occasion. Marriage breakdown, domestic violence etc have unfortunately become endemic amongst the Muslim community. These are all occurring due to ignorance and negligence towards the Deen. This book has been designed to provide the fundamental teachings and guidelines of all what relates to the marital life in a simplified English language. It encapsulates in a nutshell all the marriage laws mentioned in many of the main reference books in order to facilitate their understanding and implementation.

With the advent of technology, the entertainment industry has flourished and become immensely popular. Combine this with the exponential advances in technology, and the result is an increasing number of ways to amuse ourselves. As a result of such advances, Muslim react in a variety of manners towards entertainment. Some label entertainment as completely forbidden. This sometimes includes parents who say no to almost everything that their young ones deem to be ‘fun’, without providing them with suitable alternatives. Others, who do not want to take this extreme approach, fall into the trap of excessive use of – and even addiction to – various sources of entertainment, without any limits. In Having Fun the Halal Way, Ismail Kamdar explores the teachings of Islam regarding entertainment. Drawing upon the Quran, the Sunnah and the understanding of the righteous scholars of Islam, he provides a detailed and balanced analysis of the topic. He not only explains the detriments of the current entertainment industry, but also suggests alternative means to have a good time with friends and family members.

Muslims are compelled by their religion to praise their Creator, pray, fast and give charity. But what is not widely known is that there are deep and long-standing connections between Islamic teachings and environmentalism. In this ground breaking book, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin draws on research, scripture and interviews with Muslims to trace Islam’s profound dedication to humankind’s collective role as stewards of the Earth. Abdul-Matin points out that the Prophet Muhammad declared that ‘the Earth is a mosque.’ Deen means ‘path’ or ‘way’ in Arabic. Abdul-Matin offers dozens of examples of how Muslims can follow, and already are following, a Green Deen in four areas: ‘waste, watts (energy), water and food.’ At last, people of all beliefs can appreciate the gifts and contributions that Islam and Muslims bring to the environmental movement. ‘Ibrahim Abdul-Matin's deep connection with Islam and the environment helps to make his book clear, easy to read, balanced and convincing.’ – Harfiyah Abdel Haleem, Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences, UK ‘Ibrahim-Abdul Matin not only shows the myriad ways American Muslims are contributing to the resolution of the environmental crisis that threatens us all, but he goes a long way toward humanizing the Muslim community by sharing with the reader the lives of so many extraordinary, talented and visionary people.’ – Imam Zaid Shakir, cofounder, Zaytuna Institue ‘Green Deen shows how the authentic reli...read more
