The Holy Qur'an was revealed in Arabic over 1400 years ago for the whole of humanity to the last prophet in Islam, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Written down and recorded as it was revealed, The Holy Qur'an remains unchanged, even to this day. The Holy Qur'an is considered the greatest miracle given to the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

What happens when authorities you venerate condone something you know is wrong? What does this mean about what you’ve been venerating? No issue brings this question into starker contrast than slavery. Every major religion and philosophy condoned or approved of it, but in modern times there is nothing seen as more evil. Americans confront this crisis of authority when they erect statues of Founding Fathers who slept with their slaves. And Muslims faced it when ISIS revived sex slavery, justifying it with verses from the Quran and the practice of Muhammad.

In The Sufi Path of Love, teacher and author Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee shares the secrets of this transformation, a "turning of the heart" that awakens the soul's innermost love affair.

Jung; and more than 1,100 years of Sufi wisdom, poetry, and teaching stories, Vaughan-Lee takes us into the wonder of this spiraling inward journey.

A respected and controversial scholar argues that the Crusades were a justified war waged against Muslim terror and aggression. This book takes on the current vogue in liberal thinking to argue that, in fact, the Crusades were not unprovoked. They were not the first round of European colonialism. They were not conducted for land, loot, or converts. The Crusaders were not barbarians who victimized the cultivated Muslims. They sincerely believed that they served in God’s Battalions.

Many books have been written about the life of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), However, in writing this book, the author (Sheikh Muhammad al-Ghazali) had a specific objective.

In 2013, just two years after the popular overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian military ousted the country's first democratically elected president - Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood - and subsequently led a brutal repression of the Islamist group. These bloody events echoed an older political rift: the splitting of nationalists and Islamists during the rule of Egyptian president and Arab nationalist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser. Fawaz Gerges, one of the world's leading authorities on the Middle East, tells how the clash between pan-Arab nationalism and pan-Islamism has shaped the history of the region.

Sahih Al Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called ahadith. Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadith. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established.

جعل الله الزواج آية من آياته الدالة على عظيم فضله وكمال صفاته، وقد تجلت قدرته عز ثناؤه، في أن جعله سببًا لحفظ السلالة والنسل والذرية في الجنس الآدمي. وفي هذا الكتاب "زوجات الرسول"، تناول الكاتب محمد عبد الله لمحة موجزة عن حياة الرسول الخاتم محمد ﷺ وحياة زوجاته وحكمة تعددهن، ليكون القارئ على بصيرة من أمره، ويأخذ العبرة والقدوة. وقد قطف الكاتبُ قطوفاً من ثمار بيت النبوة بلمحة موجزة من حياة خير رسول محمد ﷺ لتستنير بها العقول، وتقام بها الحجة على المغرضين والمزايدين.

The Prophet Muhammad is a hero for all mankind. In his lifetime he established a new religion, Islam; a new state, the first united Arabia; and a new literary language, the classical Arabic of the Qur'an, for the Qur'an is believed to be the word of God revealed to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. A generation after his death he would be acknowledged as the founder of a world empire and a new civilisation. Any one of these achievements would have been more than enough to permanently establish his genius.

يتحدث الكتاب عن قصص الأنبياء الذين ورد ذكرهم في القرآن وبعضاً ممن لم يرد ذكرهم في القرآن صراحة ولم يتعرض ابن كثير في كتابه لقصة نبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ بدأ بقصة آدم عليه السلام وانتهى في كتابه بعيسى عليه السلام وقد سار ابن كثير في كتابه بمنهج يوحي بالثقة ويشعر بالطمأنينة إذ اعتمد فيما ذكر فيه على ما ورد في القرآن الكريم كما خلا ما يستشهد به من حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الموضوع ولم يعتمد إلا فيما ندر على الضعيف من الحديث يضاف إلى ذلك أن الكتاب سلم من الإسرائيليات نهائياً وكيف لا وهو الإمام الحافظ المحدث

White shows how the sacred text of Islam differs from the teachings of the Bible in order to help Christians engage in open, honest discussions with Muslims.
