"In Quest of Knowledge is the story of Imam Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi‘i’s search for knowledge. The story revolves round a son whose sole mission in life is to acquire knowledge, a teacher who lovingly accepts him, and a widow who not only bears with the separation of her only son but also shares his passion for knowledge. Their innate nobility, their ability to suffer for a common cause, their intense love for the Prophet (s) and their infinite trust in Allah give them the dimensions of epic heroes. The invaluable lesson which Imam al-Shafi‘i’s story teaches, although it may not have been his main objective, is that Allah befriends and watches over anyone who endeavours to acquire religious knowledge with the intention of disseminating it."

Part of a series of biographies of the four caliphs.

Great biography of Al-Mutanabbi.

At a time when sections of Christianity are making every effort to convert peoples of the Islamic faith; when in the media every Muslim misdeed is highlighted and every Muslim virtue is hidden, how is it possible that so many Western Christians are turning to Islam, recognising that it is God’s True Path? Within these pages we see the Author’s theological journey which gives insight into a struggle which has taken place through the ages. To understand this is to understand the era in which we now live. The author, Shifa Lynette Vivienne Mustapha, is an Australian who embraced Islam in 1989. Her efforts to bring understanding between the Muslim and other Australian communities was recognized by the Queensland government in 1998 when she received the Queensland Multicultural Service Award. Her work has taken her to churches, schools, colleges and universities as a Muslim speaker, and in 1995 she was the woman speaker at the Organisation of Islamic Conference in Sydney.

From the publisher: "This is a real life account of enslavement, degradation and sexual exploitation; it is just as relevant today as it was first published in 1861, for slavery and racism still exist today under various guises, names, shapes and shades."

A collection of editorials by Mufti Taqi Usmani published in monthly Al-Balagh International. Challenges those who want to promote blind following of the West in the Muslim world.

The author deals with fundamental problems faced by contemporary Muslims and their real solutions, beginning with a discussion on the 'Contemporary Western Christian Background', followed by his analysis of the concepts (which he newly defines) of 'secular', 'secularization', and 'secularism'. He proceeds to analyze the Muslim dilemma by declaring that it should be resolved primarily through "dewesternization of knowledge" or conversely the "Islamization of contemporary knowledge."

This book reconstructs the development of the catch-term "political Islam" - from the original Qur'anic categorization of a "religion" to the emergence of a tendency to predicate Islam in terms of its so-called societal, and subsequently political, dimension - and shows how, by the end of the 1970s, both discourse and the "hermeneutic field" itself have become politicized, due to the emerging image of an "Islam in Movement"

Originally written in Arabic, this book examines the role Islam played in history and its impact on human progress and the loss that Humanity suffered by its decline. It counters the prevailing attitude that Islam is a spent force, that it has outlived its usefulness. The author persuasively argues for the eternal reality of Islam and that it is a programme of life which is always dynamic and can never grow obsolete. This thought-provoking tour de force throws new light on the motives, opportunities and impact of the Islamic and other civilisations, on the material welfare and spiritual progress of humanity.
