He has ordered them in such a manner that also mentions what each prayer has in the form of unique features in the tradition. He also highlights the narrations whence they are sourced.In his own words, the Shaykh says, "By Allah, these supplications have secrets, light, distinct features, and effects which the believing slave benefits from in this world and the next. Be diligent, therefore, my Muslim brother and sister in reciting them, and supplicate for goodness to the one who spread and compiled them."ABOUT THE AUTHORShaykh 'Abdullah Siraj al-Din was born in the lands of modern-day Syria just prior to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. He studied under the great scholars of the era and, through the mid to late 20th century, served as a teacher and mentor to an entire generation of ¿ulema.

Hafiz 'Abd al-Ghani ibn 'Abd al-Wahid al-Maqdisi's Reports on the Dajjal (Akhbar al-Dajjal) is a collection of Prophetic narrations that mention the Dajjal, known in English as the Antichrist.The subject of the Dajjal, the Antichrist, is one which generates much speculation, which in turn often leads to confusion. It is hoped that publication of this collection will help to clarify the most important issues related to this matter, and help us to draw lessons that are useful and applicable to our own lives. In turn, this clearer understanding may help us to warn those who are close to us about the great trial of the Dajjal and its dangers, and to take steps to protect our own faith and that of our loved ones.The majority of this text consists of the hadith themselves, which are given with their full chain of narrators. Citations to the source of each hadith in the major collections are included in the footnotes; where a narration is present in more than one of the major collections, all citations are included. The text also includes light commentary from both the author and translator when appropriate, regarding the hadith itself, its narrators, the strength of its chain, and other points.This edition includes Arabic text with full vowels, as well as the English translation.About the AuthorHafiz 'Abd al-Ghani al-Maqdisi was originally from the Jamma'il district of Nablus.

The illustrious Imam and erudite scholar of al-Azhar, Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari, authored an extraordinary amount of poetry on many subjects. The Shaykh's poems comprise twelve volumes, which grouped according to their subject matter, ranging from the remembrance and glorification of Allah, advice for the one traversing the spiritual path to Allah, exalting the excellence of the Beloved ¿ and the Ahl al-Bayt, and the virtues of the Path's litanies and salawat.This book contains selected poems from the first of those twelve volumes. These selections focus on the relationship between the shaykh and murid, as well as the virtues of the spiritual path. These poems were specifically selected by Shaykh Muhammad Salih al-Ja'fari, the grandson of Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari. The core of these selected poems, just as in the shaykh's poetry overall, are from the genre of what is known as madih (praise poetry), in praise of the Messenger of Allah ¿ and the Ahl al-Bayt.Regarding the methodology of his father, Shaykh 'Abd-al-Ghani al-Ja'fari said the following:"This door of spiritual openings, which our Shaykh traveled, is a clear opening, and whoever traverses it will arrive, and whoever arrives will be connected, and whoever is connected will see and witness, and whoever has witnessed, has intimate discourse, and becomes acquainted, and whoever becomes acquainted, is guided to the Müammadan Reality, thus he multiplies love by love. As he ¿ has said: 'A man is with the one he loves.'"These poems are truly transformative, both for the one who recites them and the one who listens, and represent acceptance and invitation to the presence of the Prophet and his household.This bilingual edition contains the original fully-vowelized Arabic text with an easy-to-read English translation directly following each line, and has been designed for use in regular gatherings of remembrance.Author: Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fariTranslators: Ahmad Ali al-Adani230 pagesISBN: 978-1-8384776-5-3Publisher: Imam Ghazali Publishing

In it, al-Ghazali masterfully provides the seeker of religious knowledge a window into Allah's creativity through the Islamic study of anatomy.The study of anatomy for the Muslim serves as a potential means to fulfill two distinct goals:To increase one's attachment to the Creator through a deeper appreciation of the details of His creationOr to become a professional with knowledge of diseases and curesThe broad audience of medical students, physicians, healthcare professionals, as well as non-medical seekers of religious knowledge will appreciate the details of human anatomy described by Imam al-Ghazali through an Islamic lens. Readers will also recognize that this discussion, though accurate from the perspective of modern medicine, reflects a distinctly different paradigm from that of modern anatomy and physiology.Imam al-Ghazali asserts that there is a spiritual component to the human being, and that every detail of human anatomy is representative of Allah's qudra, His power, and His wisdom. In this text, al-Ghazali describes these spiritual purposes alongside the physical anatomy, with the same level of clarity and precision.This edition includes Dr. Kamran Riaz's meticulous English translation side-by-side with al-Ghazali's original Arabic text.

From the text:"The reader should know that we did not compile this book for the one who denies the status of the Prophet ¿, nor the one who wants to find doubts in the miracles he performed....Our intention in this chapter is to document the greatest miracles and signs, both of which indicate the greatness of the abilities that Allah has bestowed upon the Prophet ¿. We have presented those miracles that have been meticulously studied and possess the most authentic chains of transmission. And most of what has been transmitted is undisputedly authentic, or almost so, to which we have added some of the narrations found in the well-known books of reputable scholars."If an equitable person reflects on what we have presented, from the beauty of his effect on people, the praiseworthiness of his life, the ingenuity of his knowledge, his ability to act with wisdom and understanding, the completeness of his speech and all his traits, whilst being a witness to the circumstances he lived in and the benefit in what he said, they would neither doubt the veracity of his Prophethood nor the truth of his call. And these characteristics alone are sufficient for a person to embrace Islam and to believe in the Prophet ¿."Studying the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad ¿ helps those who have responded to his call and believed in his Prophethood to reinforce their love for him, to renew their efforts to perform righteous actions, and to increase in faith (¿m¿n). This is why Q¿¿¿ 'Iy¿¿ devoted a section of his celebrated work, al-Shif¿', to the discussion of Prophetic miracles. The IGI team chose to publish this section so that it might be easily available for study and review, which will serve both the busy student and the working professional on the go.Al-Shif¿ bi Tär¿f ¿uq¿q al-Mü¿af¿, directly translated as, 'The Remedy (or Cure) Through Recognizing the Rights of the Chosen One', is one of the most celebrated works in the genre of Sham¿'il. It stands uniquely amongst the works of Q¿¿¿ ¿Iy¿d as his most celebrated effort with many surviving manuscripts and commentaries found throughout the Islamic world. Sham¿'il is a genre of works that deals with the life, characteristics, and descriptions of the Prophet ¿ and his station.Al-Shif¿, as it is called for short, stands alone as perhaps the most thorough work in this genre, dealing with both the descriptions of the Prophet ¿, his station and his perfections, and with the rulings pertaining to one's belief and treatment of him ¿. It is exhaustive in its treatment of the subject, expounding on topics that range from Allah's praise of the Prophet ¿ and his status and station before Him, to the obligation of loving him and what that entails. In short, the uniqueness of this work can be attributed to its holistic coverage of the Messenger ¿.

Prayers upon the Prophet ¿ are among the most important devotions by which the devout have approached Allah. Due to this, many scholars have written treatises and even books on its rulings and merits. It is also for that reason that Q¿¿¿ 'Iy¿¿ devoted to it a section of his celebrated work, al-Shif¿'. While the section is short, it provides a valuable entry into such literature, distilling rules and benefits for the seeker in brief expressions and beneficial narrations. We selected this section for quick study and review, which will serve both the busy student and the working professional on the go.Al-Shif¿ bi Tär¿f ¿uq¿q al-Mu¿¿af¿, directly translated as, 'The Remedy (or Cure) Through Recognizing the Rights of the Chosen One', is one of the most celebrated works in the genre of Sham¿'il.
