The Sufi mystic and poet Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī is most beloved for his writings which represent the ecstasies and mysteries of life in all its forms—erotic, platonic divine—which are fresh and intense today as when they were first written by this medieval Persian poet and spiritual genius.
In this compact volume, Reynold Alleyne Nicholson, the renowned Islamic scholar, combines his research in Sufi doctrines and history with a rich account of the spiritual and metaphysical significance of Sufism as a living tradition. This volume reveals Rūmī’s charm and depth of thought more than in any other book.
The last few months have indeed been extremely challenging for nearly every person. Together with many of us personally falling ill, or witnessing our family members and friends becoming sick, to the extent where they were battling to breathe and even required hospitalization at times – undoubtedly one of the GREATEST TRAGEDIES for us all is the demise and loss of our loved ones. In recent times, many of us have lost close family members and friends due to Covid-19 or other causes. The number of janaazahs that we have been witnessing in our communities is unprecedented. Some families (may Allah Ta‘ala assist them) have even lost multiple members in the short space of a few weeks, a few days and even a few hours. Indeed, losing one’s father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister or any other family member or close friend, is very challenging. This loss can completely devastate a person and makes the entire world around him seem dark and gloomy. Just as in every other situation of life – in this situation as well, our beautiful Deen gives us ample solace, comfort, relief and direction to make it easy for us to manage this painful loss and sail through this raging storm safely. Therefore, we write this message to you – O brother that has lost your beloved wife, to you – O sister that has lost your kind husband, to you – O child who has lost your loving parent, to you O parent who has lost a loved one, we hope this msg will prove beneficial in lifting your morale and spirits and assist you to manage and cope with your tragic loss..

Easy Good Deeds is a valuable book which details many good deeds that a person can easily practise without any major effort. The author has highlighted actions over a wide spectrum of areas, ranging from worship to social conduct, all of which entail minimum effort but reap abundant reward nonetheless. This concise work will help readers appreciate the importance of many righteous actions, realise how easy it is to perform them, and ultimately imbue them with the spirit to practice Islam in its entirety.

One of the 20th century’s most influential Muslims, Malcolm X – El-Hajj Malik Al-Shabazz – led a dynamic life and passed through many phases of thought. But one aspect of his thought remained constant – to never remain silent in the face of oppression.
In Malcolm X: The Struggle for Human Rights, Recep Şentürk offers more than a biography of a beloved figure in American history: he explores the concept of universal human rights in Islam using the life of Malcolm X as an example of a human rights struggle.
Engaging and innovative, the book is divided into three sections, dealing with Malcolm X’s life, beliefs and struggle in turn. In the first part, we learn about his early years, his time in prison and his hajj. In a section on his evolving faith, we learn about his youth as a Christian, his time with the Nation of Islam and his discovery of mainstream Islam. In the final section, Şentürk offers a new perspective: how we can relate slavery, abolition, civil rights and voting rights to Malcolm X’s struggle
