The Four Imams and Their Schools
THE GREAT EDIFICE of Islamic Law is held up by four towering figures of the early middle ages: Abu Hanifa, Malik, al-Shafi i, and Ibn Hanbal. Because of their immense dedication and intellectual acuity, these men enjoy recognition to this day as Islam s most influential scholars. By assessing and ranking hadith, by cultivating a deep knowledge of the Arabic language, and by virtue of their great native intelligence, they are credited with having shaped the development of the fundamental systems of Muslim jurisprudence, avoiding the twin pitfalls of subjective rationalism and blind literalism. By doing so they not only protected their religion from chaos and disorder, but showed the Muslims, ...

From the Two Holy Sanctuaries
In an attempt to bring back some of the forgotten traditional elements of the sacred journey known as the Hajj, this travelogue is the first to thoroughly explore this ritual pilgrimage to Mecca by recounting the loss of rites and practices over several centuries. Lamenting the loss of spiritual grace and the celebration of visiting the Prophet in Medina that once accompanied the Hajj, the book raises some of the most controversial and oft-disputed topics amongst pilgrims while focusing on the search for blessings and grace upon the journey.

The Prophet's Night Journey and Heavenly Ascent
Shaykh Muhammad 'Alawi al-Maliki delivers an absorbing account of the Isra' wal-Mi'raj that brings the reader almost into the story. Indeed it is a detailed narrative spiced with a simple commentary that attempts to reconcile various accounts or reports of the event that transpired. This provides a comprehensive reading that takes the reader on an experiential ride to feel the magic of Rasulullah's journey. In short, it is very inspiring; exhilarating to the spiritual core. Praise be to Allah Who chose His praiseworth servant Muhammad (saw) for the Message, distinguished him with the night journey on the lightening-mount Buraq, and caused him to ascend the ladders of perfection to the high heavens to show him of the greatest signs of his Lord. He raised him until he reached the Lote-tree of the Farthest Boundary where ends the science of every Messenger-Prophet and every Angel Brought Near, where lies the Garden of Retreat, to the point that he heard the sound of the pens that write what has befallen and what is to befall.
Islamic Doctrines & Beliefs: The prophets in Barzakh and the hadith of Isrâ ̓and Mirâj by al-Sayyid Muhammad ibn ʻAlawī followed by The immense merits of al-Shâm and The vision of Allah
"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..." Al-Sayyid Muhammad Ibn 'Alawi al-Maliki
The Quṣṣāṣ of Early Islam
The Islamic qāṣṣ (preacher/storyteller) has been viewed most commonly as a teller of stories, primarily religious in nature and often unreliable. Building on material of over a hundred quṣṣāṣ from the rise of Islam through the end of the Umayyad period, this book offers the most comprehensive study of the early Islamic qāṣṣ to-date. By constructing profiles of these preachers/ storytellers and examining statements attributed to them, it argues that they were not merely storytellers but were in fact a complex group with diverse religious interests. The book demonstrates how the style and conduct of their teaching sessions distinguished them from other teachers and preachers and also explores their relationship with early religio-political movements, as well as with the Umayyad administration.

Mulla `Ali al-Qari, al-Zubda fi Sharh al-Burda.
