 | Adhering to the Sunnah
The
Prophet (saas) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to
teach the Sunnah to his companions in word and deed, and urged them to
follow it, as he said in his hadeeth: “Adhere to my Sunnah” and “Whoever
neglects my Sunnah does not belong to me.” ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may
Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah
(saas) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no
Prophet whom Allaah sent to any nation before me, but he had disciples
from among his nation, and companions who followed his Sunnah and obeyed
his commands.” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 71).
Some aspects of the
Sunnah are waajib (obligatory) and some are mustahabb (encouraged). The
Muslim should follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas) (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), whether it is waajib or mustahabb, as
long as it is proven in sound reports. The Sahaabah (may Allaah be
pleased with them) used to spread the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas)
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) among people and they called
people to follow it.

many Muslims desire to read the Quran as often as they can, it becomes

 | Matters Related to Fasting
by
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid. Allah has blessed His slaves with
certain seasons of goodness, in which hasanat (rewards for good deeds)
are multiplied, sayyi'at (bad deeds) are forgiven, people's status is
raised and the hearts of the believers turn to their Lord. Those who
purify themselves attain success and those who corrupt themselves fail.
One of the greatest acts of worship is fasting, which Allah has made
obligatory to his slaves. As the status of this act of worship is so
high, it is essential to learn the Ahkam (rulings) that have to do with
the month of fasting, so that the Muslim will know what is obligatory,
in order to do it, what is haram, in order to avoid it, and what is
permissible, so that he does not need to subject himself to hardship by
depriving himself of it. This book is a good summary of the rulings,
etiquettes, and Sunnah of fasting.

 | The Nature of Fasting
By: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
This
is a translation one of the smaller publications from the works of
Shaykh Al-Islam Taqiuddin Ahmad bin 'Abdul-Halim Ibn Taymiyyah. It has
been published in this form a variety of times with a number of minor
additions to the text under the title, "Hagigatus-Siyam," or, "The
Nature of Fasting." We have revised our version to meet the source
section of Majmu' AI-Fatawa (25:219) from where it appears that the
original booklet - with the exception of the questions, of which most
appear on earlier pages - has been taken. We have inserted brackets to
signify the additions, which earlier publishers probably took from other
sections of his writings. We have also added brief references to the
text for the Hadiths. I would like to express gratitude to brother
Ebrahim Aly Ma'rouf for the original translation of this booklet, and
the Darussalam staff for their editing and layout work.

 | What Every Muslim Must Know about Purification
What Every Muslim Must Know about Purification
Abdul Rahman Abdul Karim Al-Sheha
Purity
(Tahârah) is a beautiful word that is pleasing to the ears, and it is a
quality which everyone strives to maintain. From an Islamic
perspective, purity is a word which is general in its mean-ing. It may
mean physical cleanness, which is purity (of the body) from impure
substances or states of impurity, or it may mean spiritual purity, which
is the purity of one’s self from vices, faults, sins, and replacing
them with good deeds, whether in speech or deeds.

 | Al-Siyaam ( The Fasting)
Allah
has blessed His slaves with certain seasons of goodness, in which
hasanat (rewards for good deeds) are multiplied, sayyi'at (bad deeds)
are forgiven, people's status is raised and the hearts of the believers
turn to their Lord. Those who purify themselves attain success and those
who corrupt themselves fail.
One of the greatest acts of worship is fasting, which Allah has made obligatory to his slaves.
As
the status of this act of worship is so high, it is essential to learn
the Ahkam (rulings) that have to do with the month of fasting, so that
the Muslim will know what is obligatory, in order to do it, what is
haram, in order to avoid it, and what is permissible, so that he does
not need to subject himself to hardship by depriving himself of it.
This book is a good summary of the rulings, etiquettes, and Sunnah of fasting.

 | The Ideal Muslim
The Ideal Muslim : The True Islamic Personality as Defined in the Qur'an and Sunnah
(Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi)
The
ideal Muslim is a man of the highest moral character. In his relation
with his rabb' (lord), himself, family, parents, relatives, friends, and
the community at large, he has a most excellent example in the Prophet
of Islam (pbuh). His idealism is further strengthened by the characters
of the first generations of Muslims who excelled in all the various
fields of human endeavour. He is reassured by the teachings of Islam
that he also can reach these noble heights by working to improve his
character daily.

The Ideal Muslim : The True Islamic Personality as Defined in the Qur'an and Sunnah
(Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi)
The
Muslim woman’s role is not merely to stay at home, nursing children and
taking care of the home. In addition to all that, the Muslim woman is
in fact raising a heroic new generation, playing an important role in
Da’wah and making an important, constructive contribution in all areas
of life, working side-by-side with men to populate and cultivate the
earth, enrich life and make people happy.

 | A Brief-Summary of all the Major Sins
A Brief-Summary of all the Major Sins
Imam Shamsu ed-Deen Dhahabi
To commence: I introduce this book (Major sins) written by Imam Dhahabi in another form. As I
verified the text, documented1 the hadiths and maxims, and elaborated on the difficult words. Thus, it is
better to keep on reading this book day and night alone and aloud. You have to bear in mind that what you
view in this world is either good or bad, clear or vague, a lust followed by sorrow or sins followed by
gloom. Therefore, you have to reject a perishable joy or lust, a binding condemnity, an inevitable sorrow,
and a grievous affliction. Judge yourself before being judged by Allah the Lord of the universe. Remember
that the one who will be prosperous, is the one who washes away the filth of his sins by repentance while
repentance is available, awaked and gets out from the place of sins to the fort of guidance before repentance
and apology are of no avail. May Allah safeguard us with His sleepless eyes and keep us away from faults
and sins for He is the All-Hearing, the Nearest.
Dr. Mustafa M. Dhahabi
