Abul Kalam Azad's tafsir of surah al-Fatihah, the first chapter of the Qur'an, explains the Qur'anic conception of God in the light of the pattern of organisation found in phenomenal nature. Rightly regarded as Azad's major contribution to Islamic learning, this is a profound exposition of Qur'anic thought.
"Tadabbur-e-Qur’an by Amin Ahsan Islahi invites the reader to ponder and reflect on the message of the Qur’an. It is based on the principle of nazm or coherence and refutes the oft-repeated allegation that the Holy Book lacks order and continuity. The present volume covers the third chapter of the Qur’an, Surah Ali ‘Imran. It serves as an important resource for students of the Qur’an because its contents are structured into logical sections and subsections with respect to theme and content. Each portion can thus be studied on a week-by-week or other regular basis in a systematic manner. The whole approach is to welcome enquiring and questioning minds to engage with the message of the Qur’an."Translated by Mohammad Saleem Kayani.

Corruption is a disease that can sweep through a society like a tidal wave, leaving in its wake a trail of negligence, lethargy, inefficiency and callous disregard of man’s inhumanity to man. What is it like to live inside such a society? Why has it taken such strong root in so many countries? Is there no sense of outrage and shame against such a phenomenon among our elite? What can be done to stem the tide? Is it corruption as it is known in the West? These disturbing questions and more are answered in this book. Corruption in all its forms, bribery nepotism and extortion, is shown for what it is – a major cause of the dehumanization and victimization of innocent people. The corrupt have no aspirations for the betterment of their societies. For this reason, all decent people must be gravely concerned with the problem and nurture the next generation to confront the corrupt and disrupt their way of life.

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.
A translation with an introduction and annotation of al-Ghazali’s Kitab Jawahir al-Qur’an
"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."
