    The Thorn and the Carnation by Yahya Al-Sinwar

    2 in stock

    The Thorn and the Carnation is a compelling novel by Yahya Al-Sinwar, written during his long imprisonment in Israeli jails. This work provides a unique insight into the resilience and mindset of a man central to Palestinian resistance. The story spans the years of Al-Sinwar’s incarceration, exploring a spirit unbroken by confinement. It details a journey of endurance and traces the thinking that would later define his leadership. Readers are invited into his inner world, where ideas such as the “Flood of Al-Aqsa” operation, launched on 7 October 2023, may have first taken shape.More than a story of survival, the novel testifies to the spirit of a people in perpetual struggle. It offers a glimpse into the sacrifices and conflicts that drive Al-Sinwar and his comrades in their quest for liberation. The English translation preserves the intensity of Al-Sinwar’s voice, allowing global readers to connect with the story’s emotional depth and political perspective.As Al-Sinwar’s influence continues to shape events in the Middle East, the book emerges as an essential read for those seeking to understand this complex landscape. It is a powerful blend of history and insight—an account alive with the passion and resolve of a leader, reflecting on the past and projecting a view into the region’s future. Includes part 1 and part 2

    About the BookThe map changing leader of Islam, Al- FAROOQ, Hazrat Umar bin Khattaab Radiallahu Anhu wrote to the people of Kufa instructing them,"Teach your women Surah Noor!"Nothing more needs to be said about the importance of this Surah, knowing that Hazrat Umar the Great, Radiallahu Anhu, the sahabi whose views have been considered by Allah Ta'aala Himself, deemed it important for women to learn this Surah.This Surah is specifically aimed at women as it deals with issues that are close to a woman's heart, such as protecting the diamond within her, her chastity, covering her precious body, laws pertaining to the veil (hijab and niqaab), lowering the gaze, the consequences of not valuing herself, succumbing to carnal passions, and illuminating her body, heart, mind and soul with purity thereby swimming deep in the oceans of the Light of Allah Ta'aala.A woman is the fresh breeze on a summer day, the first drop of snow in winter, the glistening dewdrop on a leaf in spring, the striking, falling, red leaves of autumn, the charm of Layla, the love of Majnoon. Her walk, her talk, her smile, her very being exudes elegance and attracts admiration. There is therefore no doubt as to why Shaytaan uses women as nets to lure even the wisest and most religious of men. This is why women are strongly encouraged to learn and study this Surah. She is the backbone of a spiritual, enlightened society. Alas, if she loses her self-worth, generations of humanity suffer! And if she acquires purity and piety, generations prosper!

    You will never understand why you’re here if you don’t know the One who brought you here. You will never understand why you were blessed with something, if you don’t know what it means to be a blessing yourself. You will never understand why you’re in pain, if you don’t believe in the virtue of patience. You will never make sense of this life, if you don’t believe in an afterlife. You will never know who you are, if you don’t know who you want to become. You will never know where you are going, if you don’t know where you came from. We live in a world full of suffering which is meant to wake us from our slumber. But if we constantly dwell on what we feel has missed us, we may be missing out on a far greater sense of purpose and self-worth. A life with less confusion and more certainty. A life of meaning where we learn to live in harmony with divine decree, so that we could get to know our Lord who created us and our stories. You may have asked before, why me? But have you ever asked, why not me ?

    Author: Imam al-Ghazali Language: English & Arabic Binding: Paperback Pages: 100 pages Color: Black and White ISBN: 978-1-952306-03-7 Publisher: Imam Ghazali Publishing This book is a new translation of Imam al-Ghazali’s Adab fi al-Din, a concise yet thorough guide to proper Islamic conduct and character in a wide range of life situations. While numerous works discuss adab – translated here as “etiquette and manners” – this text stands out for its practical approach, structured in the manner of a handbook for quick and easy reference when the need appears. Al-Ghazali begins by outlining the essential principles that govern all interactions with other people and with oneself, and which every Muslim should strive to embody and cultivate within his or her life. He then proceeds to a discussion of adab with Allah, as the relationship with the Creator is at the heart of a Muslim’s character. The Imam details how one may cultivate reverence, humility, and mindfulness in this relationship, and provides practical advice regarding how to consistently remember Allāh, fulfill His commands, and show patience during life’s challenges. The core of the book is a sort of practical manual of adab, and includes sections on such everyday issues as: The Adab of the Scholar, Student, Reciter of the Qur’an, Muhaddith, Khatib, and many other roles related to worship and seeking knowledge Adab of fasting, eating, drinking, giving and receiving charity, giving and receiving gifts, and of being wealthy or poor Adab of sleep, waking, being in public and in social gatherings, and other ordinary life situations Adab of husbands and wives, parents and children, and other relationships Adab of some common professions Most individual sections occupy no more than one page, with some requiring only a short paragraph to cover the essential issues that guide one’s approach to each scenario. The book then concludes with a discussion of universal adab, a general discussion that applies to many disparate areas of life. Regarding the sources of our knowledge of adab, as well as its significance in the life of a believer, the Imam writes: The most perfect and lofty character as well as the best and most splendid of actions is to have adab [good manners] as [explained by] the religion. It is for the believer to emulate the actions of the Lord of the Worlds, as well as the character of the prophets and messengers. Allah, the most High, has refined our manners through His exposition of the Quran as well as through His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by commanding us to [adhere to] his sunna. [We owe Him] for this benevolence. He has also refined our manners through the companions, their successors, as well as the people of adab from amongst the believers, by obligating us to emulate them. This is a text that the reader will want to keep within easy reach, and consult regularly for guidance on the many and varied situations that occur in one’s life.

    Author: Habib Muhammad ibn ʿAlawī ibn ʿUmar al-ʿAydarūs, better known as Habib Saʿd. Language: English & Arabic Binding: Paperback Pages: 186 pages Color: Black and White ISBN: 978-1-952306-61-7 Publisher: Imam Ghazali Publishing “I intend.” With those two words, our lens of perspective, and our entire approach to everything we do, can change. The Book of Intentions a new translation of Kitab al-Niyyat by Habib Muhammad ibn ʿAlawi al-ʿAydarus, better known as Ḥabīb Sa’d. In this text, Habib Sa’d explores the transformative power of intention (niyyah) in Islamic practice. Rooted in the profound and widely-known hadith that “actions are by intentions,” this book guides readers through the process of aligning one’s daily actions with one’s intention and purpose, such that every deed is transformed into an act of worship. Throughout the text, Habib Saʿd emphasizes that the heart’s intentions are more significant than physical actions alone; and that even small acts, when performed with the right intention, can yield immense spiritual rewards. The Book of Intentions is structured around various themes, such as: Visiting the mosque Gathering for prayer Cultivating relationships with fellow believers Ordinary actions of everyday life And more. For each act, the author provides a detailed set of recommended intentions, highlighting the unique rewards associated with each one. Habib Saʿd also cites numerous hadith, along with many insights from the scholars and the tradition, to illustrate the deep-seated importance of intentions in the life of a Muslim. As a whole, this text is a powerful exhortation for the believers to make every permissible action purposeful, including even routine tasks like eating and drinking, waking and sleeping, buying and selling, and being in the company of our family and friends. Through these practical examples, Habib Saʿd illustrates how proper intentions can imbue our daily lives with sanctity and purpose, and help us to live in a continuous state of worship in every moment. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Habib Muhammad ibn ʿAlawi al-ʿAydarus, born in 1932 in Tarim, hailed from a distinguished lineage tracing back to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Raised in a scholarly and pious environment, he studied under numerous eminent scholars. His life was marked by dedication to Islamic knowledge and spiritual guidance, even enduring three and a half years of severe torture in prison under a socialist regime. He authored over one hundred concise and beneficial books on various Islamic topics. He returned to Allah on October 6, 2011, leaving behind a legacy of scholarship and spiritual leadership.

    8 in stock

    Publisher : Revival Press / Imam Ghazali Institute  Format: Paperback  Pages: 107  ISB One of Al-Ghazali’s  advanced students wrote to the Imam with a question: From all the fields of knowledge, what will benefit us most in the grave? The student clarified that, while he could certainly find the answer to his question within al-Ghazali’s longer works, such as the Ihya ‘Ulum al-Din, he wished for his teacher to give him a formal legal opinion, short enough that he could keep it with him at all times and refer to it constantly. Ayyuhal Walad is the great Imam’s response: a personal note from al-Ghazali to his student, and by extension to anyone who desires to follow their way. Imam al-Ghazali elucidates the following for his student, and for the modern reader: The precise nature of the relationship between knowledge and action, and the role of each in one’s striving for Paradise The significance of the night prayer Some advice from Luqman the Wise to his son, and its enduring meaning and importance A concise definition of obedience and worship, which al-Ghazali states is the quintessence of knowledge The four matters that are required of a spiritual traveler A single hadith that contains the entirety of the knowledge of the ancients as well as the men of latter days Eight lessons that are sufficient for deliverance and salvation Ayyuhal Walad is designed to be read and reread, and referred to frequently throughout one’s life. The reader must take note that the original recipient of this letter was a top student of Imam al-Ghazali, and therefore a scholar of the highest caliber himself. This book is thus invaluable simply as a record of the interaction between one of the Ummah’s greatest teachers and his esteemed disciple. However, al-Ghazali’s prescriptions are conveyed with such clarity that any Muslim of high aspiration will benefit from this text. This edition includes Ustadh Moustafa Elqabbany’s meticulous English translation side-by-side with al-Ghazali’s original Arabic epistle. This arrangement allows the English-speaking reader to get a taste of al-Ghazali’s unique style, while students of Arabic may peruse the Imam’s masterful Arabic prose alongside Ustadh Moustafa’s elegant English rendition.

This present work consists of translations of two major works in the genre of Khasais and one supplemental work from three of the great scholars of the Bidayat al-Sul fi Tafdhil al-Rasul ﷺ of Shaykh ‘Izz al-Din ibn ‘Abd al-Salam, as well as Unmūdhaj al-Labīb fi Khasa’is al-Habib ﷺ of Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, and selections from Matali’ al-Masarrat li Jala’ Dala’il al-Khayrat of Shaykh Muhammad al-Mahdi al-Fasi. However, in modern times the science of Khasa’is has been neglected, to the point that many Muslims have become unaware of its existence. This present volume is an attempt to rectify this deficiency, to present the Khasa’is to an English-speaking audience in a manner befitting the unique honor, majesty, and significance of Allah’s Final Messenger ﷺ. Each page is the result of a collaboration of a world-class team of translators, editors, designers, typesetters, and printers from across four continents, and every detail represents a fusion of traditional knowledge and design elements with state-of-the-art book production methods. The result is a work the like of which has never before been printed in the English language, that is sure to occupy a place of honor in the library or home.

    The name of Salaahuddeen al-Ayyoobi RA has been permanently recorded in the annals of world history. He was one of the greatest leaders and heroes that the world has ever seen. The Muslim Ummah recognises him as the liberator of al-Quds, yet his legacy is much more richer than a single battle or military conquest. He was a pious Muslim, a competent leader, a military genius, a brilliant administrator and an eminent scholar. Salaahuddeen’s  bravery filled the hearts of his enemies with fear, while his compassion with the prisoners and the weak drew their respect. His life was one of piety, justice, forbearance, mercy, bravery, patience, abstinence, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, sacrifice and wisdom. By studying the fascinating journey of his life, we will learn how he eradicated Shiasm, liberated al-Quds and defeated the Crusaders. Implementing the lessons he taught will inspire us to become better Muslims and to raise the flag of Islam in a world which desperately needs guidance.
