Communities have always held some notion of unseen realms regardless of religion or culture. However, the modern age – an age of extreme materialism – is an anomaly in this regard with its systematic erosion of such ideas from the very psyche of man. People are finding it progressively more difficult to comprehend realities that exist beyond the framework of the physical world and how they tie in to the familiar material dimension we have become immersed in.
“When Friday comes, angels stand at the door of the Mosques, recording the order in which people enter, the first ones first. Once the Imam sits on the pulpit, they fold up their records and enter to listen to the remembrance.”
This unique book seeks to take the reader through various unseen realms that exist outside, or alongside the physical reality we experience. Drawing from the rich Islamic Tradition the author begins to unravel the various worlds of dreams, angels, demons, spirits and how man has experienced these realities throughout the ages.
One of the architects involved in maintenance and repair work at the Prophet’s ﷺ Mosque, the Egyptian Tariq al-Sharif, reports that in 1406AH he was with a group of men working on the rooftop of the mosque and they had all stopped to pray the maghrib Prayer, after which they had sat down to rest. He was over-taken by light somnolence and saw that he was sitting in a circle in the Prophet’s presence. Someone was going around serving dates, milk and coffee. When it was his turn, he was overjoyed to hear the Prophet ﷺ say, “Serve him, for he deserves more”

The religion (dīn)of Islam practised by the Holy Prophet Muhammad s is composed of three intertwining characteristics: That of, Islam, Iman and Ihsan (submission, faith and worshipping God as if you see him). Present day Muslims are well versed in the practices of exterior worship, but are either obscured from or even reject the spiritual domain of (True) Faith and attainment of the Vision (Witnessing God) The powerful influence of modernism and Islamic Fundamentalism rejects the aspects of Iman and Ihsan, with many unqualified and unenlightened exoteric Islamic scholars labelling the practices of Sufism as Innovation (bid’ah). In response, the Shaikh Al-Alawi, a supreme saint (Ghauth) and scholar (‘Ālim) of the early 20th Century wrote articles in defence of the practices of Sufism and explicated it as the comprehensive embodiment of the religion (Dīn). With vast knowledge and clear understanding of the Qur’an and the Holy Tradition (Sunnah), Shaikh Al-‘Alawi uses ijtihad (legal reasoning) with profound preciseness and clarity to provide succinct evidence to refute those who reject Sufism.

"This book is an attempt to positively say what Islam actually is—and always was—as well as what it is not.
The world is at a crossroads today. A tiny minority of Muslims seems to be bent on hijacking the religion of Islam and bringing it into perpetual conflict with the rest of the world. Because of their actions, very few non-Muslims understand the real difference between Islam as it has always been, and the distorted perversions of Islam today. This book is an attempt to positively say what Islam actually is—and always was—as well as what it is not.
About the author:
H.R.H. Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad bin Talal (born in Amman on the 15th of October 1966) is the nephew of the late King Al-Hussein bin Talal of Jordan. He received his BA from Princeton University in 1988 Summa cum laude; his first Ph.D. from Cambridge University, U.K., in 1993, and his second Ph.D. from Al-Azhar University in Cairo 2010."
"The present book aims to take on this challenge by looking at the major problems from these various aspects, as just mentioned. Obviously, one short book can hardly address all these problems and suggest solutions without certain simplifications and potentially controversial assertions. Nevertheless, it can hope to present a systematic analysis and suggested prognosis based on a coherent philosophy. As indicated above, nothing is more needed in our times, and second to spiritual weakening, the greatest problem of all facing the Islamic World (and indeed the whole world) is lack of understanding of the true natures and essences of things.
This book examines ‘our times’ from an Islamic philosophical world view, looking at the problems facing the Islamic World in the near past, present and future respectively in three mutually complementary parts. At the end of each part, it suggests holistic and easilyapplied remedies to the problems it examines. In other words (and for those who enjoy sonorous German and Greek philosophical terms) it examines the Zeitgeist from the Weltanschauung of Islam and suggests panaceas.
Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad has written a number of books and guides for thinking people, and this small but potent work before you sums up many of his most keen and cogent insights and conclusions; for that reason, this may be his most impactful and motivational work to date."

MUHAMAD IQBAL (d.1938), thinker and philosopher – poet of Indo-Pakistan sub-continent was one of the key architects of contemporary Islam. Through the medium of his thoughtful writing and soul-transforming poetry, both Urdu and Persian, he infused a new spirit in the Muslims, not only of India and Pakistan but also Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East. He challenged the western concept of nationalism and expounded the concept of Islamic nations, on which the idea of Pakistan is based. A Treasury of Iqbal is a glimpse of his thought and contribution.

Throughout his life, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (the Truthful) provided a role model to all those around him. Wishing only to earn the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger, he donated all his possessions in the way of Allah and was unswerving in his support of the blessed Prophet. This book presents his extraordinary life alongside with the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The other companions admitted that no one could outdo Abu Bak in exemplifying the true faith. His uprightness and sincerity earned him the honor of being the first Caliph of the Muslim world. He served the people with the greatest humility, dying almost penniless at the age of sixty-three. This book brings to life the remarkable character of Abu Bakr from his birth onwards through the early years of Islam.
This book is about the life and teachings of Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with Him)-The Frist Caliph of Islam.
