A Guide to Male-Female Interaction in Islam
Interaction between unrelated members of the opposite sex is inevitable at times. Yet, questions about whether or not it is permissible, and if so, to what extent, need to be asked. Are Muslim men allowed to interact with female students in a virtual classroom, and vice versa? Can Muslim women pursue a professional career which necessitates their interaction with men? Is it appropriate for a woman to serve her husband’s guests? Do segregated wedding ceremonies comply with the Sharia? At times like these, one searches for a text that addresses these contemporary issues, based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Dr. Hatem al-Haj has taken a broad view of the subject, keeping in mind the opinions of both categories of scholars: the ones who have taken a stricter stance and the ones who are more flexible in their interpretation. This is a comprehensive and well-researched work, filled with practical advice, from which students and professionals, both male and female will benefit immensely. الاختلاط مع أفرادٍ من الجنس الآخر من غير الأقارب هو أمر لا مفرّ منه في بعض الأحيان ولكن لا بدّ لنا من التساؤل: هل هذا الاختلاط مسموح ؟ وإذا كان مسموحاً به فإلى أي درجة؟ لا يمكن أن يكون لا بد منه وممنوعًا في آن. أرى أن نقول: "ولكن لا بد من التساؤل عن الأحوال التي يكون فيها جائزًا وتلك التي يكون فيها ممنوعًا، ومتى كان جائزًا، فإلى أي حد، وما هي الآداب التي ينبغي أن تراعى؟" هل يسمح للطلاب الذكور التواصل مع الطالبات في قاعات الدرس الافتراضية؟ هل يجوز للنساء أن يعملن في مهنةٍ تقتضي اختلاطهن بالرجال؟ هل من الملائم للمرأة أن تقوم على خدمة ضيوف زوجها من الرجال؟ هل تتوافق حفلات الأعراس المختلطة مع الشريعة الإسلامية؟ للإجابة عن هذه الأسئلة وغيرها فإننا نحتاج في زماننا هذا إلى نصٍ يعالج هذه الأمور المعاصرة بالاعتماد على القرآن والسنة. وهنا يأتي دور كتاب (الاختلاط بين الجنسين) للدكتور حاتم الحاج والذي ينظرفيه نظر واسعة إلى هذا الموضوع، آخذاً بعين الاعتبار آراءَ الفريقين من العلماء: المغلبين لجانب الحظر والمغلبين لجانب الإباحة. وهذا الكتاب هوثمرة الكثير من الأبحاث المتعمقة والشاملة، وهو مليء بالنصائح العملية التي تفيد كلاً من الطلاب والدارسين، الذكور والإناث على حد سواء.

El Dia de la Resurreccion-The Day of Resurrection القيامة الكبرى
The Day of Resurrection: In the Light of the Qur'an and Sunnah (Islamic Creed Series Vol. 6). Belief in the Day of Resurrection is one of the central tenets of Islamic faith. It is a belief that was preached by all the prophets, and it is a belief that makes sense of a sometimes incomprehensible world. Belief in the Day of Resurrection and the final Judgement brings benefits in this world, on the individual and social level. It makes the individual focus on what is in his or her ultimate best interests, guiding the person’s actions in ways that will benefit him or her and bring happiness in this world and the next. On the broader social level, this belief imposes controls on human greed and restrains people from committing transgressions for which they would ultimately have to answer. The Qur’an and the Sunnah are filled with detailed information about what will come to pass on that great Day. Drawing upon these sources of Islam, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar takes us through the events of that Day, from the first Trumpet-blast and the end of life in the universe and on earth, through the terrors of the Resurrection and the ordeals of the Judgement, to the final entry to the place of eternal abode, in Paradise or Hell. This is a book which deserves to be on Muslim bookshelves in homes, schools, and Islamic centres, for it deals with a topic of vital importance to every believer.

Islamic Creed Series - Belief in Allah: Volume 1 الإيمان بالله
Although the vast majority of mankind believes in a Creator or Supreme Being, their concepts vary. Islam, in the Qur’an and sunnah, affirms the existence and Oneness of the Creator and describes Him as having the most perfect attributes, thus enabling man to have the proper concept of Him and to establish a strong bond with Him based on the understanding of His sublime attributes. But the influence of philosophy and other ideas that are alien to Islam led to the emergence of distorted concepts about Allah.In this book, Dr. ‘Umar S. Al-Ashqar discusses the wrong ideas that have crept into Muslims’ minds concerning Allah and His attributes, and highlights the fact that the only correct way to understand the verses of the Qur’an and the Ahadith, which speak of Allah and His attributes, is the way in which they were understood by the first generations of the Ummah (the salaf).Dr. ‘Umar S. Al-Ashqar also examines modern concepts, such as the theory of evolution, and proves that they are wrong and false. Following the Qur’anic injunction to ponder the signs of Allah in the universe, he also pays attention to the study of natural phenomena which clearly point to the existence and Oneness of the Almighty Creator. Thus, Dr. ‘Umar S. Al-Ashqar affirms the principle which lies at the heart of the Islamic faith and practice, namely Tawheed, the Absolute Oneness of the Divine.

Psychology from the Islamic Perspective
Psychology is one of the most intriguing scientific disciplines as humans are inherently curious about their own nature. Ironically, there are a multitude of theories and explanations that mislead and confuse the very same creatures that they are meant to describe.

Islam offers an uncomplicated, comprehensive, and precise theory of our spiritual nature, our purpose and priorities in life, and how we can attain serenity and happiness in this life and the next. This book is a humble effort to expound upon the true conceptualization of human psychology based upon the Quran and Sunnah. Moreover, Dr. Utz includes specific references to scientific research that corresponds to, and builds upon, what is already known from revelation.

Read, Then Write your Will
This book deals with the importance of having an Islamic will. Author Hisham Ibn Fahmi Ibn Moussa Al-Aref explains what a will is and how important it is in Islam. Islam highly encourages, if not obligates, writing a will as soon as possible, since one does not know when Allah will take the Muslim's soul back to Him. Many man-made laws also recognize the importance of a will and the difficulties that the absence of one can cause. The will can include both financial and religious matters and can be a document for reference and application without disputes.

Salah (Prayer) & Its Essential Conditions الصلاة وشروطها
In 'Salah and Its Essential Conditions', Yahya Ondigo details the essential prerequisites/conditions of salah. Salah is one of the five pillars on which the edifice of Islam rests.

In this book, Yahya Ondigo takes a detailed look at the importance of salah along with the different types of obligatory and voluntary prayers. It also presents an illustrated guide to help those who wish to learn or correct the performance of their prayers. Inshallah, all those who wish to improve their salâh will find plenty of help in this book whether they are looking for information on cleanliness and purity, locating the direction of the qibla, improving their concentration during salâh, making up for the missed salâh, or joining a congregation when the imam has already started the salâh.

Tafseer as-Sâ'di 1-10 تفسير السعدي (تيسير الكريم الرحمن في تفسير القرآن)1-10
Tafseer as-Sa‘di (Arabic title Tayseer al-Kareem ar-Rahmaan fi Tafseer Kalaam al-Mannaan) is a contemporary commentary on the Qur’an that is well known in the Arab world.

He explains the meanings and rulings indicated by the text without unnecessary elaboration, references to stories and reports of dubious provenance, or introducing ideas that are not relevant to the meaning of the verses. He also avoids detailed discussion of grammar, except in rare instances where it may help to clarify the meaning. His style is to mention what he thinks is the correct interpretation, without referring to other views, except in cases where there is also strong evidence to support the other view.

Tafseer Ibn Katheer - Part 30 (Juz' 'Amma)
Juz' 'Amma, the thirtieth and last section of the Qur'an, is probably the most widely read and memorized of all the parts of the Qur'an. It is studied by Muslim children and by new Muslims, containing as it does, many short chapters which are easy to commit to memory. That said, it is also true that many of those who commit these verses to memory have little or no idea of their meaning and importance.It is therefore with great pleasure that we present this, the new and revised second edition of Tafseer Juz' 'Amma, following the enthusiastic reception of the first edition. We ask Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful, to bless this effort by Sameh Strauch to bring to English-Speaking Muslims - and to new Muslims in particular, a taste of the classic Arabic work Tafseer al-Qur'an al-'Adheem by Imam Abul Fida' Isma'eel Ibn Katheer ad-Dimashqi, a work that is rightly considered by many to be one of the best interpretations of the Qur'an ever written!

The Book of Major Sins
Some of the major tribulations of human existence are the consequences of committing sins and spreading evil into the world. According to the moral scale of Islam, it is known that man is imperfect and fallible and prone to committing sins. This is part of his innate weak nature as a finite, limited creature. However, it is a sin if he has the ways and means to attain relative moral perfection and deliberately chooses not to seek it.

The Concise Presentation of the Fiqh of the Sunnah and the Noble Book
Was there ever a point in your life where you realized how many things you've done incorrectly, simply because you don't know the right thing to do according to your deen? And have you ever searched for a book or a person or anything to sort things out for you, so you don't fall into more of the same mistakes? By the grace and mercy of Allah, there are now a number of introductory compendiums of fiqh available in various languages. However, this particular work has unique aspects that have made it a popular work in its native Arabic language and which should make it, insha Allah, an important contribution to the Islamic literature available in English. To start with, the author has restricted his foundations for fiqh to the Qur'an and the authentic hadeeth of the Prophet, painstakingly avoiding any of the weak or rejected hadeeth found in the majority of the books of fiqh. To further ensure that this work is of the utmost reliability, the author has also restricted his discussion to what is most directly derived from the Qur'an and sunnah, and is, therefore, logically above dispute. He has intentionally avoided the numerous detailed disputes that jurists often engage in, leaving the reader with full confidence in what the author has written. Finally, the words penned by Muhammad Salwat Noor al-Deen in the introduction should be sufficient incentive for the Muslim to read this book. He wrote stating that Shaikh Abdul Adheem Ibn Badawi has complied, with briefness in wording, the evidences that can satisfy the truth seeker. This book, albeit small in comparison with the larger works, has combined together two books. First, it is a book containing fiqh that takes the reader by hand and shows him what he should do. Second, it is a book of hadeeth that displays the statements and actions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The combination of these two is a great blessing.The book is sufficient for the one seeking to travel to Allah’s pleasure, and will also satisfy the knowledge seeker’s thirst for knowledge. Thus, it is a book that people are in need of; wherever they go, they will want to carry this book – in their purses or inside their cars – so if they run into any obstacle set by the lethal, envious Shaytan, they will be able to properly face it. Readers will hopefully peruse and ponder over the book, starting with its introduction and not neglecting its final words, while acting upon everything in between.

The Fundamentals of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism, Hardcover) شرح مبادىء التوحيد
This is a current expanded, revised edition of the author's original work. 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 collectively called shirk. The uniqueness of this work lies not only in its thorough treatment of the subject in a fluid and uncomplicated English style, but is also unique in its modern presentation of classical theological issues. True faith of a standard acceptable to Allah has to be based on tawhid free from shirk, as stated in the Qur'an and ahaddith and outlined in detail in the preceding chapters. Anything less than that represents an aspect of idolatry and or disbelief, regardless of how firmly those who join partners with God profess their faith in Him or how skillfully they rationalize their unsanctioned practices. Allah's unity must he maintained spiritually, intellectually, and practically in all facets of human life within which the pleasure of God is sought. Monotheism, as brought by the Prophets of God, was not merely a theory to be philosophically appreciated or emotionally championed, but a pragmatic blueprint for human existence in submission to the will of Almighty God, Allah. The significance of this fact lies in the purpose of man's creation. Allah said: "I only created the jinn and man for my worship" (Qur'an 51: 56). The creation of man is itself a manifestation of Allah's perfect attributes. He is the Creator (al-Khaliq), and thus man was brought into existence from non-existence. He is the Most Merciful (ar-Rahman), and thus the pleasures of this world were granted to him. He is the Most Wise (al-Hakeem), and thus He prohibited the substances and acts which are harmful to man while allowing those which are not. He is the Most Forgiving (al-Ghafoor), and thus He pardons those who turn to Him in sincere repentance. Abu Ayyub and Abu Hurayrah both reported that the Prophet (s) said: "If you did not commit sins, Allah would have swept you out of existence and replaced you by another people who would commit sins, ask Allah's forgiveness, and He would pardon them." Similarly all of the other divine attributes are manifest in man's creation by God's will. On the other hand, man's worship of God is for his own benefit, as Allah is in no need of man's worship. In the worship of God man realizes both his material and spiritual potential for all aspects of goodness and thereby earns for himself the everlasting abode of bliss at the end of this brief earthly journey. Consequently, the Godly way of life, Islam, provides a means of turning each and every human act, no matter how insignificant or mundane it may seem, into an act of worship. As long as the following two basic conditions are fulfilled: The act must be consciously done for the pleasure of God alone and, To be done according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (s) man's whole life can enter completely into the service of Allah, as He prescribed. "Say: 'Truly, my prayer my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of all the worlds'” (Qur'an 6: 162). Such a state can only be attained through the knowledge of tawhid and its careful, conscious implementation according to the methodology taught by the final Prophet of God, Muhammad Ibn 'Abdullah (s). Thus, it is the duty of every sincere believer in God to put aside his or her cultural experiences and emotional ties to family, tribe or nation, and acquire a working knowledge of tawhid, the foundation of faith. For it is only in the application of that knowledge that man may achieve salvation.
