 Paperback - 488 pages      by Tahia Al-Ismail   Edited by Abd al-Haqq Bewley & Dr Abia Afsar Siddiqui

 
Back Cover : The final renewal of the prophetic tradition was the function of the Last Prophet Messenger Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam’s, and it is in this prespective of constantly renewed Divine Guidance that we must view the story of Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam’s life. It was not an isolated event but rather the culmination of a lengthy series of constantly renewed Divine Revelations. The Finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam’s makes it, of course, relevant to us in a way that is not the case in any of the previous revelations, since by virtue of its lastness it contains the final instructions from the Creator to His creatures. Because of this, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has ensured that it has remained accessible to us in every detail both as regards the actual revealed Book, the Noble Qur'an and as regards the implentation of the revelation in the Life of Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam and his Companions.

For this reason study of this extraordinary story is absolutely necessary for all who want to know their place in human history and to know what a human being really is and how to become one.

From the Publisher : A succinct and readable account of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam’s life based reliably on the earliest sources. It describes his difficult yet successful struggle to spread Islam and reveals his excellent character and leadership and his many other noble qualities which make him the best example for humanity. This is an enlightening read for the general reader and an excellent reference source for the student and researcher.

Miracles of the Prophet Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam

 Paperback - 88 pages                                                                              by Adem Yakup                                                                            

Description from the publisher: Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has sent Prophets to every nation throughout history so that they may show their people the Straight Path. Some of those prophets have been granted miracles by the permission of Allah in order to support their Divine message. Prophets Ibrahim, Musa, and Isa (peace and blessing be upon them all) were just some of the Messengers to whom Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala granted miracles and these are outlined in the Qur'an.

Similarly, The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings upon him) was also granted miracles throughout his life for people to see and learn from, by Allah's permission. Many of these are well-known such as the Night Journey and Ascent through the heavens. Others are less well-known such as the flowing of water from the fingers of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings upon him). This book explores the nature of a miracle, the reasons why miracles are granted to prophets and takes a detailed look at the miracles granted to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings upon him) drawing from the authentic sources of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

This is a beautifully finished and well presented book.

 A Portrait of the Prophet   -  As Seen by His Contemporaries  
 Ash-Shama’il al-Muhammadiyya                         By Imam Muhammad ibn 'Isa at-Tirmidhi

 Paperback - 250 pages                                                               Translated by Muhtar Holland   

Foreword by Hamza Yusuf  |  Introduction by Kenneth Honerkamp

Calligraphy by Mohamed Zakariya  |  English & Arabic bi-lingual edition

This book belongs to the traditional genre of Islamic 'sacred history' sources known as sira (biography). It contains a famous and a most indispensable collection of authentic traditions (ahadith), listing the main texts from which to glean the beautiful attributes, both moral and physical, of the Noble Prophet – Peace and Blessings be upon Him; attributes to which Muslims in all ages referred over and over, for the purposes of both meditation and edification. At no time is this sacred collection of traditions more needed, as an object of knowledge and as food for thought, than in ours, when the excesses of worldly concerns and the superfluity of material distractions seem to make people forget that the greatest fruit of life, and thus of religious faith, is beauty of soul.

The hadith of the Noble Prophet Peace and Blessings be upon Him, provide the role model for all Muslims and give an example of how Qur'anic doctrine was actually to be lived in daily life. Therefore this huge corpus of 10 volumes is central. Here the reader is able to go back 14 centuries and be in the very presence of the Beloved Prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon Him, through the authentic recorded sayings transmitted by the recognised transmitter Imam al Tirmidhi - May Allah be pleased with him who died in 912, some 350 years after the passing away of the Prophet Muhammad Peace and Blessings be upon Him. This particular collection is of the recorded sayings of the Prophet's Peace and Blessings be upon Him contemporaries, regarding his very person and presence, down to the colour of his eyes and skin.

 
About the Author: al-Tirmidhi (d.912 CE) was born to a family of the widespread Banu Sulaym tribe in Bugh, a suburb of Termez. Starting at the age of twenty, he traveled widely, to Kufa, Basra, and the Hijaz, seeking knowledge from Qutaiba ibn Said, Imam Bukhari, Imam Mulsim, and Abu Dawud May Allah be pleased with them, among others. He wrote the Sunan al-Tirmidhi, one of the six canonical hadith compilations used in Sunni Islam, and nine other books, of which "Shamail" is best-known. He played a major part in giving the formerly vague terminology used in classifying hadith according to their reliability a more precise set of definitions. Imam al-Tirmidhi May Awas blind in the last two years of his life.

 Respect of the PROPHET Peace & Blessings be upon him    [2nd Edition - 2008]

 Paperback - 72 pages   

By:  'Faqih-e-Millat' Mufti Jalal al-Din Ahmad Amjadi 'alayhir rahman

Translated into English by: Mohammad Husain Qadri
 
Foreward: We are living in a such a day and age in which the unblemished personality and exalted status of our Beloved Prophet May Allah Bless him and grant him peace, is being degraded and dishonoured, not only by the disbelievers but by the corrupted sects within this Ummah!

This book has thus been compiled to illustrate the importance of showing respect towards the Beloved Prophet May Allah Bless him and grant him peace, not only is it the essence (rooh) of Imaan (faith), it is also an essential pre-condition for the acceptance of our worship.

For this reason, it is vital that every Muslim is aware of the importance and necessity so that both, they and their worship are accepted in the Divine Court of Allah ta'ala.

This book was originally written in Urdu by the great jurist of his time, 'Faqih-e-Millat' - Hadrat Mufti Jalal al-Din Ahmad Amjadi [1933/2001 CE ] May Allah be pleased with him, who spent his entire life defending Islam and its pristine teachings through the power of his tongue and pen.

  Booklet - 62 pages 

By:  'Faqih-e-Millat' Mufti Jalal al-Din Ahmad Amjadi 'alayhir rahman

Translated into English by: Mohammad Husain Qadri

From the time of the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam until today, all the Companions, Tabi'een, Tab-e-Tabi'een, all the scholars and all the Muslims expressed their love and showed respect to the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam in every manner and practice. 

However, today we will find many people, who call themselves ''Muslims'' but are very reluctant in expressing their love and showing their respect for the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. Not only this, but they describe it as an ''innovation'' and as a false thing. 

Therefore this book has been written to obliterate these flawed ideas from their minds and hearts and let them know that only the respect for the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam is a good thing, but also in certain circumstances, it becomes compulsory and necessary.
