Humorous Anecdotes - From The Lighter Side of Islamic History [Volume 1] It is proven from authentic hadiths that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) occasionally indulged in good light-hearted humour. This compilation contain humourous anecdotes recorded in classical Arabic sources. Ali ibn Abi Talib mentioned: ''Amuse the hearts and engage in some light-hearted wit because hearts tire as bodies do.'' Ibn al-Jawzi mentioned: ''Ulama always expressed an interest in light-hearted humour and would lift the spirits of others because humour relaxes the soul and relieves the hearts of its burdens.''

O My Allah, is an exposition of love. It examines love as a living practice, in a creative, storytelling form. O My Allah is a reflection of love woven with aphorisms from Shaykh Dr. Muhammad bin Yahya al-Ninowy's Book of Love, a highly readable collection of sayings, based upon Qur'anic and Prophetic principles.
Shaykh Ninowy's work gently traverses the Qur'anic middle-way, or the Wasatiyya, which is a path of love based on thought and moderation.
O My Allah is also a work of hope and spirituality. It shows us that human progress can only be achieved through the love of the Creator, and His Beloved, Muhammad ﷺ, the Final Messenger.
Faith and faithfulness is love between Allah and the people of faith. A Muslim is in love with Allah Ta'ala. It is love that makes us with hold food from our bellies when we fast, it is love that makes us give away from our earnings, our wealth to the poor, it is love that makes us forsake our beds, our sleep, in the wee hours of the morning to pray, it is love that makes us save for years, to leave our families, to travel thousands of miles for the Umrah and Hajj. It is only love that can drive us to make these sacrifices.
Love is a gift from Allah Ta'ala because without His Will and His Generosity, we would be heedless of the gift of His love.
This book is about Living Love, every day, in every way.
This groundbreaking translation revives Imam Raghib al-Isfahani's seminal ethical treatise, integrating Qur'anic principles with philosophical depth. Isfahani's timeless exploration of moral virtue, the soul and spiritual refinement is characterized by his unique weaving of Qur'anic verses and prophetic traditions into ethical discourse.

You will never understand why you’re here if you don’t know the One who brought you here. You will never understand why you were blessed with something, if you don’t know what it means to be a blessing yourself. You will never understand why you’re in pain, if you don’t believe in the virtue of patience. You will never make sense of this life, if you don’t believe in an afterlife. You will never know who you are, if you don’t know who you want to become. You will never know where you are going, if you don’t know where you came from. We live in a world full of suffering which is meant to wake us from our slumber. But if we constantly dwell on what we feel has missed us, we may be missing out on a far greater sense of purpose and self-worth. A life with less confusion and more certainty. A life of meaning where we learn to live in harmony with divine decree, so that we could get to know our Lord who created us and our stories. You may have asked before, why me? But have you ever asked, why not me ?

The ‘A Tentative Guide to Islamic Invocations’ is a personal selection of invocations, all of which claim to be from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) or from his immediate Companions. In other words, everything in this collection is a transmitted (ma’thur) invocation. Apart from a single narration (which is traceable to the Tabi‘ al-Tabi‘in Imam Sufyan al-Thawri [97–161 ah/716–778 ce] and who arguably would not have related it without a now-lost chain of transmission to the Prophet (SAW)), there are no non-transmitted invocations here from any of the great figures of Islamic history and spirituality after the Companions of the Prophet (SAW).

This book is a commentary of the invaluable advice of the Prophet ﷺ to ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbbās (Raḍiya ’llāhu ‘an-hu), which begins with the words, ‘Be mindful of Allah and He will be mindful of you.’ The famed eighth-century traditionist Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the meanings that can be derived from the hadith, in a manner that is scholarly and comprehensive, yet also easily understood.
He explains that the hadith ‘contains great counsel and comprehensive principles from the most important and most significant aspects of the religion’, such as the rights we owe Allah ﷻ and what He has promised to give us if we fulfil those rights. Ibn Rajab supports his arguments with verses of the Qur’an, additional narrations of the Prophet ﷺ (whose transmissions are analysed), sayings of the Companions (Raḍiya ’llāhu ‘an-hum) and their followers, and insightful stories and poems. As a brief but expansive look at some of Islam’s fundamental tenets, it is an essential addition to every Muslim’s library.
