Thirty short prayers taken from the Prophet Muhammad and his pious predecessors brought together by an American Muslim making a difference—Omar Suleiman. Few people call out to Allah anymore. We have forgotten what it is to have a personal conversation with God and how simple it is. Allah doesn't care if it rhymes, how it sounds, or even in what language you call out to Him in. What's important is how sincere it is.

Shades of Islam is a dazzling and moving collection of poetry that addresses faith, love, politics and Islam in the twenty-first century.Reviews"The poems of Rafey Habib offer a window onto the sensibility of a modern American Muslim, with unflinching honesty and richly informed compassion. The great humanistic tradition of poetry known in Arabic and other Eastern languages here finds a contemporary English voice, which will be recognized like a lost friend who has unaccountably been rediscovered." - Carl W. Ernst, William R. Kenan, Junior, Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, UNC-Chapel Hill. "I find [the poems] deeply moving and beautifully felt and written with simplicity and a profundity that is wholly disarming." - Harold Schweizer, Professor of English, Bucknell University. "Over the past half a century, the most politically engaged literature has predominantly emerged from cultures outside the wealthy transatlantic worlds. This collection of poems is a formidable reminder of the capacities and the necessities to connect issues of justice, rights, and religion on a global scale." - Renate Holub Director, Interdisciplinary Studies, University of California, Berkeley "I applaud...both the courage of this poetry, and the development of what is today practically a novel poetic form, the extended public meditation in lyric form. It reminds me a lot of the early Auden and Day Lewis; and it shows great promise. So much else passing itself off these days as poetry looks utterly trivial alongside it." - Chris Fitter Associate Professor of English, Rutgers University

تلك ومضات من منهج التائبين وباب التوبة مفتوح على مصراعيه لا يغلق إلا في حالتين الأولى عند قيامة الإنسان الصغرى (الموت) لقوله صلى الله وعليه السلام " إن الله تعالى يقبل توبة الإنسان ما لم يغرغر" والثانية عند القيامة الكبرى لقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم :" لا تنقطع الهجرة حتى تنقطع التوبة ولا تنقطع التوبة حتى تطلع الشمس من مغربها " فلنبادر إلى باب الله تعالى ولنتلتزم منهجه قبل فوات الأوان ولنقبل عليه بقلوبنا فما أمرنا أن نتوب إليه إلا ليتوب علينا (والله يريد أن يتوب عليكم ويريد الذين يتبعون الشهوات أن تميلوا ميلا عظيما)

Dawud Wharnsby Ali's unconventional approaches to writing and religion challenge paradigms of how we look at our own lives in relation to others and the world through which we all journey.This book collects together all the lyrics that have inspired communities of all faiths around the world for over two decades. Dawud’s work as a writer, inspired in part by his deep respect for spiritual scriptures and the Qur'an in particular. Dawud Wharnsby's recordings and reputation have established him as an institution in the realm of English language Nasheed (spiritual songs of a world-rhythm/folk style, drawn from Islamic cultural and musical roots). In true folk-song tradition, his writings have taken on a life of their own - spreading far beyond officially targeted territories by way of a bootleg industry which circulates his recordings unofficially and uncontrollably throughout the world. Though distribution of Wharnsby's material is difficult to gage, his efforts have spawned an artistic movement and musical industry of young artists hailing from Los Angeles, London, Jakarta and all stops in between.Review:“Dawud Wharnsby’s poems are the very essence of a spiritual journey – words for our minds and words for our hearts.” - Tariq RamadanExcerpt:There was nothing more to say.There was sun-snow as I drove away.Back home was the only place to go,and I did not know,I would never see her after that day

The times in which we are living are fraught with wars, natural disasters, and various other tribulations, in addition to the ongoing struggles within our own souls. This book will help the reader to understand the logic of events in a seemingly chaotic world, to comprehend the rationale for seemingly unbearable trials and tribulations, and to implement sound Islamic methodology in finding the most effective coping techniques. The book's title was inspired by a saying of Prophet Muhammad (saws). Appreciating the wisdom and mercy associated with each trial that we face is the first step toward beneficial coping.
