Hazrat Rasulullah SAW said, "Had my Ummah only known the great virtues and abundant blessings of Ramadhaan, they would have desired that the entire year be Ramadhaan.
This book aims to explain the Mubarak Ahaadith regarding the month of Ramadhaan as well as the sunnats and aadaab pertaining to the various ibaadaat carried out during the month of Ramadhaan. The relevant masaa'il pertaining to fasting, taraaweeh, i'tikaaf and sadaqatul fitr have also been explained.
We make dua that الله SWT reward all those who assisted in preparing this kitaab, and make it a means for the blessed sunnah of Hazrat Rasulullah datal being revived and upheld in the entire world.
(Mufti) Zakaria Makada
The obligation of Hajj is an obligation of a lifetime as this obligation is only fardh (compulsory) upon an individual - who has the means to fulfil it - once in his life. Those who are blessed by Allah SWT to undertake this momentous journey will be constantly reminded of Hazrat Ebrahim AS his wife, Hazrat Haajar AS, and their son, Hazrat Ismail AS
When one examines the obligation of Hajj, one realizes that nearly every aspect of Hajj has a direct link with Hazrat Ebrahim plate and his noble family. Hence, it may be aptly said that Hajj is from the legacy of Hazrat Ebrahim AS and his illustrious family.
If we, the ummah of Hazrat Rasulullah SAW wish to acquire the true legacy of Hazrat Ebrahim AS and his illustrious family, then it is not sufficient for us to merely fulfil the rituals of Hajj. Rather, together with that, we will also need to wholeheartedly embrace the spirit of sacrifice which they displayed, as this was the catalyst and the essential element which caused them to gain acceptance in the court of Allah SWT
This kitaab has been prepared to explain the method of performing hajj and umrah in the light of the Sunnah. Some of the great virtues of performing hajj and umrah have also been mentioned, together with the sunnats and aadaab of performing hajj and umrah. Finally, a selection of hajj and umrah related questions and answers has also been included for additional benefit.
The Shama’il of Imām al-Tirmidhī is one of the most extensive and celebrated works on the description and attributes of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). The 415 narrations were carefully selected by the great muhaddith to craft a vivid depiction of the Prophet (pbuh). Through this, a portrait of his blessed physical appearance, habits, worship, daily routine, spirituality and much more is painted by those most beloved to him: his noble companions and family members. To aid the reader in extracting the maximum beauty and wisdom from the narrations, we have carefully selected explanatory gems from over forty classical and contemporary works. Some of the scholars from whom we have taken include: Abdul Razzaq al-Badr, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalanī, Alī al-Qārī, Al-Bajūrī, Ibn Hajar al-Haytamī, Abū Bakr ibn al-‘Arabī , Al-Nawawī, Ibn al-Uthaymīn, Al-Ghazālī, Qadī ‘Iyyād, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Al-Shawkānī, Muhammad Amīn al-Shanqītī, Ibn Abdul Barr, Ibn Rajab, Al-Qastalanī, Ibn Kathīr, Abdul Rahman al-Mubarakfūrī, Abū Hafs al-Sūhrawardī, Ibn al-Jawzī, Abdul Muhsin al-Abbad, Al-Suyūtī, Hafith al-Iraqī, Al-San’anī, Ibn Battal, Nasiruddīn al-Albānī and many more. Ibn Kathīr said, “Scholars authored many titles on the depiction of the Prophet (pbuh), some of which were dedicated books and some of which were chapters in books. From the best books authored about the depiction of the Prophet (pbuh) is the book of Abū 'Īsa, Muhammad ibn 'Īsa al-Sulamī al-Tirmidhi, known as al-Shama'il” [Al -Bidaya wal Nihayah 8/385]. Abdul Razzaq al-Badr said, "This blessed book is from the best and most beneficial books written about the character and depiction of the Prophet (pbuh) and its author made it such an excellent work through his structuring of it and the hadiths he included therein. This is the reason why many scholars praise the book and consider it from the best books authored about this topic."

Many forbidden actions are such that their negative impact is generally limited to the sinner. However, failing to act upon the laws of sharee‘ah in money matters, whether in earning one’s income, claiming rights from others, distributing inheritance, etc., have the negative impact of contaminating one’s wealth. When one acquires this contaminated wealth, then naturally this contaminated wealth impacts on everything else. The contaminated wealth impacts on all the actions of the person who uses it in the course of fulfilling his ‘ibaadaat. His salaah, hajj and ‘umrah as well as charity are all devoid of reward due to the contamination of the wealth. Even his du‘aas are rejected on account of the haraam. The contaminated wealth also negatively affects all those who are fed from it. The end result is nothing but misery in this world and greater misery in the Hereafter – may Allah Ta‘ala protect us all.
Therefore, utmost caution is necessary in all money matters. Especially in the world of business, due to the lack of Deeni knowledge, many basic laws are contravened, rendering the transaction impermissible. Many a person is thrilled with the massive “profit” he earned which often, due to the reality of the transaction, is nothing but interest. Such “profits” are the seeds of utter loss and total disaster, Allah Ta‘ala forbid.
The purpose of this book is to gain the correct mindset of Islam in all branches of Deen, and in particular, to bring ourselves back to the true spirit and the original course of Deen in regard to earning halaal and refraining from haraam.

Based on the Television Series الكآبة .. أسباب وعلاج by Imam Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti
In a world plagued by depression and anxiety: The Causes and Treatment According to the Quran explores these ailments from a unique perspective. Based on the teachings of Imam Imam Muhammad Saʿid Ramadan al-Buti, this groundbreaking book unveils hidden causes often overlooked within a secular paradigm.
Delving into different types of depression and anxiety linked to specific causes, it emphasizes the role of a strengthened relationship with Allah in finding healing and empowerment. This book offers spiritual enrichment, guiding readers to lessen their attachment to this world, purify their hearts and souls, and understand the purpose of their existence.
By drawing nearer to Allah and embracing the teachings of the Qurʾān, readers gain the competence and strength to face life’s challenges without succumbing to anxiety or depression. With insightful appendices and additional resources, Depression and Anxiety: The Causes and Treatment According to the Qurʾān provides the tools for a deeper understanding, guiding individuals towards the emotional well-being and inner peace that comes from being close to one’s Lord.
Unhealthy addictions and depression are widespread: some of us find the uncertainty and emotional darkness eating away at us. 700 years ago, a diligent Muslim scholar told of a cost-free, universal psychotherapeutic cure, writing:
"Happiness comes with a sincere du'a."
He was Ibn Qayim Al Jawziya: his teacher was Ibn Taymiyyah . Riding on the coat-tails of our pious predecessors, we too seek routes to accepted prayers and eternal reward within the tradition of the Holy Qur'an and authentic ahadith (Prophetic sayings).
This book builds on their debut title, A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine and isn't simply a compilation of recommended du'as. Instead it is a carefully considered framework that aligns our emotions with the most beautiful du'as, all of which have a profound constructive purpose: the aim is to transport us smilingly and with noblest etiquette toward the ma'arifat (higher knowledge of Allah (swt) ) and istiqaamah (steadfastness).

Our intentions for compiling this book are to inspire an increase in love, knowledge, connection and obedience towards the Prophet ﷺ, by the comprehension of the poems through their English translations.
User-friendly text layout and designLittle or no page turning required per qaṣīda or chapter. Allowing readers to have a greater distraction free experience, whilst also making it easier for drum players to play. Due to the layout of the text, all the mentioned content fits into just 199 pages, making it light and usable too.Additionally, stop signs have also been placed at the end of each qaṣīda, choruses are emboldened, and every couplet has been marked with a glyph of alternating lightness and darkness, making it easy to continually jump between chorus and verse.
New, clear English translations in easy to grasp languageWe worked closely with a team of translators to help express the meanings of the qaṣā’id in clear, easy to grasp language. Although no translation will match the original work, these translations should hopefully help the reader get a better sense of what the original author intended.
Designed to be used as a functioning songbookWe wanted to create something that would be used in gatherings, could have notes written on and marked according to the readers preference. Although much care was placed on the cover and internal design, our aim was to create something that readers would want to use and take with them on a daily basis.
Sacred spiritual poetry is intended to soften our hearts and remind us of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. We have the opportunity through this blessed collection to resemble the Companions who recited poetry directly before our Prophet ﷺ.May Allah Most High place abundant blessings in this endeavour and make it a means for us to experience the reality of the blessed words found in these poems.Shaikh Yaḥyā Rhodus

Originally written in classical Arabic, this volume is in widespread use among Sufi teachers in Arabia, Indonesia, and East Africa; its devotions, prayers, and practical ethics are invaluable as a guide along the Sufi Way.

Imam Ghazali argues that just as there is an end to this noble objective there is also a beginning to it, which must be made firm for one to achieve success. He then goes on to expound the fundamentals of this “beginning.” While being concise and to-the-point the manual is laid out in the form of a detailed daily timetable providing the reader strong inspiration and much heart-rending counsel. The three sections of this book are on obedience, refraining from disobedience, and the etiquette of companionship with the Creator and with creation. One of Imām Ghazālī’s final works, it embodies a lifetime of learning, experience, and spirituality and can be taken as an introduction to his larger works.
