The Arabian religious reform movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, known in the West as Wahhabism, is one of the most controversial and misunderstood religious movements of the modern Middle East. This biography of its founder, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, is the first serious English-language account written not from a Western, but an Arabian perspective. Based on exhaustive research of primary sources, 'Abd-Allah Salih al-'Uthaymin reconstructs the social, political and spiritual environment of the Arabian peninsula in the time of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. The author charts this movement's intellectual development and growing sway, and unpicks the historic alliance of its founder with the House...

"The proofs and the transmitted texts have been established as authentic in the highest degree that the Prophet is alive and tender... that he fasts and performs pilgrimage every year, and that he purifies himself with water which rains on him." Al-Haytami, Al-Jawhar al-Munazzam. "Al-Sham, or Greater Syria, is the name of the lands known today as Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has mentioned that al-Sham has immense virtues, superseded only by the holy precincts of Mecca and Madina." Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad "Allah has granted me the favor of writing a vast treatise covering the substantial research which has been done on the subject of al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj ...and recite it in the public meetings... to commemorate Isra' wal-Mi'raj..."

The Call and Biography of Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhāb
A first of its kind biography about this humble and rare personality from Khurasan; a jurist, a warrior, a scholar, a muhaddith, a poet, a righteous worshipper, and the leader of the pious. In this unique book, various aspects of Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak's life are explored from what history has recorded, including lessons to be taken from his very actions, all pooled and translated from classical and authentic Arabic sources. May Allah bless the remarkable legend about whom 'Abdullah ibn 'Ayaash said, “There is none like ‘Abdullãh ibn al-Mubãrak on the face of this earth, nor do I know of a single good characteristic created by Allãh, except that He has put it in ‘Abdullãh ibn al-Mubarak.
Acclaimed worldwide as the definitive biography of the Prophet Muhammad in the English language, Martin Lings' Muhammad: His Life Based to the Earliest Sources is unlike any other. Based on Arabic sources of the eighth and ninth centuries, of which some important passages are translated here for the first time, it owes the freshness and directness of its approach to the words of men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life. Martin Lings has an unusual gift for narrative. He has adopted a style which is at once extremely readable and reflects both the simplicity and grandeur of the story. The result is a book which will be read with equal enjoyment by those already familiar with Muhammad's life and those coming to it for the first time. Muhammad: His Life Based to the Earliest Sources was given an award by the government of Pakistan, and selected as the best biography of the Prophet in English at the National Seerat Conference in Islamabad in 1983.
It is a blessing, a warning, and a sign that these Six Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of His Time have resurfaced at this particular moment in history. Renewed by caliphs and sultans, supported by scores of fatwas, and accepted as law for nearly 1400 years, these documents were common knowledge to educated Muslims and Christians until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, after which they virtually disappeared from collective consciousness. Their rediscovery will certainly open a new field in both Islamic Studies and interfaith relations. As the written words of the Prophet Muhammad himself, peace and blessings be upon him, and a central part of the Sunnah, they should s...
