The Accepted Whispers





A collection of over 200 du'as from the Qur'an and Hadith for daily reading. Translation and commentary in English by Khalid Baig. Includes transliteration and comprehensive references.

Du'a (supplication) is the essence of worship. It is the weapon of the believer. With it we can never fail; without it we can never succeed. It is a whispering conversation with Allah, the most uplifting, liberating, empowering, and transforming conversation one can ever have

This book contains more than 200 du'as from the Qur'an and Hadith in Arabic for daily reading, along with their transliteration, translation, and commentary in English. The commentary explains historic background, meanings, merits, and special significance of the du'a in question. This selection was originally compiled by Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanawi under the title Munajaat-e-Maqbul. Like his Bihishti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments), it has been very popular in the countries of the Indian subcontinent, where it has become a household name. This edition aims at making it accessible to the English-speaking world.

Islam - Beliefs and Teachings by Ghulam Sarwar




This book presents Islam as the complete way of life, in language easily understood by young and old alike. Chapters cover the key beliefs, details of the lives of Prophet Muhammad and other important prophets (peace be upon them), the lives of some of the great Muslim women, Islamic economics, codes of dress, food and drink, plus verses from the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet.

The Fundamentals of Tawheed - by Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips



This book presents a detailed explanation of the classical Islamic concept of God's unity as it relates to faith and acts of religious devotion. It also discusses the major areas within which the Islamic unitarian belief (Tawheed) is either nullified or compromised by idolatrous concepts and practises, collectively called Shirk. The uniqueness of this work lies not only on its thorough treatement of the subject in a fluid and uincomplicated English style but also a modern presentation of classical theological issues.

New Arrival : The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge


The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge

by Shaykh Bakr Aboo Zayd













To adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble manners, good behaviour and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the people of Islaam, and knowledge - the most precious pearl in the crown of he purified Sharee'ah - cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For this reason the scholars devoted their attention to this etiquette, outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this topic; either pertaining to [general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to specific types of knowledge such as the etiquette of the carriers of the Noble Quran, the etiquette of the muhaddith, the etiquette of the muftee, the etiquette of the qaadee (judge), the etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for the sake of Allaah) and so on. The issue of this book is the general conduct of those who take the path of seeking the knowledge of the Sharee'ah.
