The Life and Times of Abu `Umar Al-Maqdisi
The following work is the follow up to Imam Muwaffaq ud-Din Ibn Qudamah's (d.620) A Word of Advice. In that text, the Imam discussed the definition of Ihsan, the ayat and ahadith that establish it and also supplications making reference to it. This text covers the life of his elder brother, Imam Abu `Umar Al- Maqdisi (d.607), who is an embodiment of Ihsan and every good thing that comes from the people of the science.
SHORT COMMENTARY ON THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CREED
Here lies the text, Short Commentary on the Illumnation of the Creed as written by the late authority, Imam `Abdul Qadir ibn Badran Ad-Dumi (d.1346), may Allah have mercy upon him. This is a commentary on the classic work, Illumination of the Creed (Ar.Lum`at ul-I`tiqad), by Imam Muwaffaq ud-Din Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi (d.620), may Allah have mercy upon him, who penned the work after having gathered together all the works of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d.241), may Allah be pleased with him, on theology and reducing them to a rhyming text with ayat and ahadith for easy memorisation by students and scholars alike. Memorised and commented upon over 900 years, the Illumination is then commented upon with additional notes and beneficial advice that further enlightens the reader on everything from the doctrine of tafwid all the way to Signs of the End of Time and the Day of Resurrection.
A Word of Advice
Great, you've made the first move. You want to be in a relationship with your Lord or you already are. But how do you maximise your time in His Glory in silence or in the bustle of the urban landscape? A Word of Advice is a manual on just this, written by a giant in the field. Imam Muwaffaq ud-Din takes the reader through an odyssey of verses from the Qur'an, statements of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, as well as practical examples to equip the reader with the right tools for enrichment of the soul.

Illuminating the Darkness
Illuminating the Darkness critically addresses the issue of racial discrimination and colour prejudice in religious history. Tackling common misconceptions, the author seeks to elevate the status of blacks and North Africans in Islam. The book is divided into two sections: Part l of the book explores the concept of race, 'blackness', slavery, interracial marriage and racism in Islam in the light of the Qur'an, Hadith and early historical sources. Part ll of the book consists of a compilation of short biographies of noble black and North African Muslim men and women in Islamic history including Prophets, Companions of the Prophet and more recent historical figures. Following in the tradition of revered scholars of Islam such as al-Jahiz, Ibn al-Jawzi and al-Suyuti who wrote about this topic, Illuminating the Darkness is structured according to a similar monographic arrangement.
Islamic Guide to Sexual Relations
Fulfilment of sexual desire and needs are key in sustaining a harmonious marital relationship. However, in today’s society, sexual boundaries are being pushed further and further, and often, sexual deviance is openly practised. In such circumstances, there is a need to identify which sexual activities are permissible in Shari’ah. Islamic Guide to Sexual Relations is a serious endeavour to tackle these sensitive matters in a clear and concise manner. While being respectful and dignified in the language he employs, the author does not shy away from discussing sensitive issues. He records, in thorough detail, the guidance Islam provides regarding sexual encounters with one’s spouse. The book covers a wide range of issues, and thus, answers many frequently asked questions on the topic of sexual relations. It concludes with a short chapter addressing Islamic etiquettes and practises pertaining to newlyweds on their first night.

Using hitherto unstudied sources, this monograph provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary study of the ethical theory of al-Rāzī, one of the most complex and influential medieval philosophers and theologians. It reveals remarkable and previously unidentified aspects of ethical thought in Islam.
Apostasy in Islam
It is an established fact that the Prophet never, in his entire life, put an apostate to death. Yet, the issue remains one of the most controversial to have afflicted the Muslim world down the centuries. It is also the source of much damaging media coverage today as Islamic jurisprudence stands accused of a flagrant disregard for human rights and freedom of expression. The subject of this book is a highly sensitive and important one. The author rightly concentrates on evidence, to examine the historical origins of the debate in rigorous detail, as well as the many moral and contextual issues surrounding it. Disputing arguments put forward by proponents of the death penalty he contends that b...
