“In this exquisitely and highly accessible work, my good friend and colleague, Shaykh Ismail Londt, whom I have had the honour of knowing since childhood, takes us on a fascinating journey through the past into the future of the Kaʿbah – a journey that will develop in us a deeper appreciation for one of Islam’s most cherished Sacred Symbols, strengthen our attachment and connection to it and, through it, strengthen our attachment and connection to its Lord and Owner.”
Surah al-Mulk (The Kingdom) invites the reader to look at how the universe moves by God's will, under His perfect control, succinctly captured within its opening verse: Blessed is the One in Whose Hands rests all Kingdom. And He is Most Capable of everything. The Surah (chapter) challenges the reader to formulate a new concept of the universe and its relationship with its Creator as being like that of a kingdom with respect to a king. The reader is sent on a journey to discover a new sense of perspective on the power of God and the extent of His control over the cosmos and beyond. From this new and enlightened viewpoint, the planet and the present worldly life pales into insignificance when placed before the vastness of the seven heavens and the eternity of the Afterlife.

Given Prophet Muhammad’s (s) immense impact on history, there are surprisingly few books that specifically analyse his leadership. The few that exist maintain that Muhammad was a wonderful leader because he was a wonderful man; that is, he succeeded in his mission because of his superior morality and personal qualities. Although it is widely agreed that Muhammad was a moral and decent man, this explanation seems incomplete and almost inadequate. Joel Hayward approaches the Prophet’s leadership from a different vantage point by scrutinising ancient sources to ascertain whether Muhammad’s conscious actions, behaviour, and methods can provide any substantial and meaningful insights about the effectiveness of his strategic leadership. Through meticulous research and rigorous analysis, Hayward demonstrates that Muhammad was an uncommonly astute and self-reflective man with the ability to create and communicate a believable strategic vision of a necessary and desirable future. This engaging yet deeply scholarly book makes a major contribution to both leadership studies and the Prophet’s biography

"The Life of Muhammad (SAW) introduces the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the Final Messenger of Allah (SWT). In this series the author eloquently presents the Prophet’s life in a detailed manner, deriving valuable lessons from it and thus making it relevant to modern times. The series is primarily based on Ibn Khatir’s book on the Seerah as presented by Imam Anwar Al-Awlaqi on transcripts
of his famous lectures on the subject."
The Lives of Man: A Guide to the Human States: Before Life, In the World, and After Death
Translated by Mostafa Al Badawi with a Preface by T.J. Winters.
Based on the Quran and Hadith, in this fascinating book, Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through several lives: before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the Resurrection, and finally, the Garden or the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life.
What happens after Death? Who are Munkar and Nakir? What will Heaven and Hell be like? What signs should we expect before the day of Judgement? Who is the Dajjal? When will the Mahdi appear?
These and many other questions are answered, on the basis of the Quran and Hadith, in this fascinating book. Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through the lives: before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the Resurrection, and finally, the Garden of the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life.
From Timothy Winters preface to the book:
No culture since Adam has lived in deeper ignorance of what man truly is: a symmetrical, noble form enshrining a soul, an organ capable of such translucence that it can, when the senses and passions which distract it are stilled, form a window onto that Reality of which this world offers no more than a distorted reflection. For those human beings who have been granted this state of awakening, the real world which they survey is truer than anything they had known here-below. All of us will see the real world, the _khira, at death. But only the Prophets fully know of it before they die, and hence can warn their contemporaries. The revelations which God gives them, and which they give to mankind, are thus the only sources of meaning and understanding which will ever be available. To hold to them is to cling to a rope let down from God, while to let go is to fall ineluctably into chaos.

IMAM TIRMIDHI narrates that the Prophetﷺ ordered people to ‘Be modest before Allah, as is His due.’ The Prophetﷺ then explained that ‘Modesty before Allah means protecting the head and all that is in it, and protecting the stomach and all that is inside it. Furthermore, you should remember death and decay, for one whose eyes are set on the Hereafter keeps away from worldliness. One who accomplishes all of this is one who is modest before Allah, as is His due.’ This work is an elaborate commentary on the aforementioned hadith. It covers Divine and Prophetic injunctions, as well as scholarly discussions relating to a variety of subjects, such as having pure belief in Allah; the various facets of spiritual purification; how to use the bodily parts in a lawful manner; maintaining honest financial transactions; the rules of good social conduct; and the remembrance of death and rulings connected to it. The treatise ends with a detailed outline of the substantial events heralding the End of Time and the events of the life after death: in the grave and on the Day of Judgement, and a description of the final abodes of Heaven and Hell. About Muhammad Salman Mansurpuri Muhammad Salman Mansurpuri is a contemporary Islamic scholar from India, who has taught Hadith and issued fatwas at Jami’ah Qasimiyyah in Moradabad, India, and he has published widely in Urdu.

"This book, considered one of the best about the sublime nature of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, comes at an important time when from an Islamic point of view – the prevailing secular consumerism in the West has given birth to an immorality – where even the elect of Allah’s creation – the Prophets and Messengers, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them, are not safe from being openly mocked or their lives ridiculed. In the East despotic rulers, the lack of leadership, external interference and sectarian division has opened up chasms of angst.
It is in this atmosphere that this phenomenal book ‘Muhammad the Perfect Man’ written by the leading Islamic scholar of recent times –Sayyid Muhammad ibn Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani, is presented to the general readership in English for the first time.
The book ranks among the most important works of the author who writes with great erudition and love about the perfection of the last of the Messengers, Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, sourcing every point from Islamic sources. The book starts with the perfection of the noble lineage of the Prophet, followed by the perfection of his physical form and discusses in detail the perfection of the Muhammadan heart. In the 300 pages that follow the Perfection of the Prophetic attributes are listed in detail - ranging from the perfection of the Prophetic knowledge, justice, mercy, humility, leadership, courage, generosity, patience, loyalty, wisdom, oratory and forbearance to name but just a few. The author contends from a traditional Islamic point of view that the message of Islam can only be perfect if the bringer of that message is himself perfect.The author catalogues the Prophetic Perfections in great detail and provides scriptural evidence with meticulous scholarly authority.
