In our busy lives, Friday comes around once a week. It often comes and goes without our being really aware of it. For many Muslim men, it may be punctuated by the congregational prayer that they make special efforts to attend. For many Muslim women, it may go by just like any other day. This ought not to be the case. In this unique book, Dr. Gowher Yusuf gives us reason to stop and think about how special Friday (al-Jumu'ah) really is, and what we should be doing to achieve the many bounteous blessings it holds for those who observe it. Drawing constantly from the Qur'an and the Sunnah and the great works of the scholars of Islam, Dr. Gowher Yusuf explores this topic in depth and presents it to the reader in simple language for them to understand and ponder over. This book travels through the various issues pertaining to the Friday prayer and its Khutbah, or sermon. These issues are explained within the Islamic framework, thus abolishing any myths and misunderstandings and clarifying the topic for the reader.
Dr. Yusuf writes: The day of the week known as al-Jumu‘ah, or simply Jumu‘ah, is Friday, and it is special. Compared to the other days of the week, Friday has been accorded the largest amount of merit, so much so that the father of all humankind, Prophet Âdam (peace be upon him), was created on this day and a particular prayer was ordered for this day. It was from the guidance given to Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to magnify this day, honour it, and designate it for acts of worship. ...On a Friday, we all will be gathered and will stand congregated in front of Allah, the Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection, also called the Day of Accountability or the Day of Judgement...

Who is Allah? How can I get closer to Allah, the Most Majestic? How can I improve my life by connecting with my Creator? You’ll find the answers to all these questions, and more, in this book.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful, Muslims strive to live a life that is full of good deeds and worship. By learning the ninety-nine beautiful names of Allah we can learn about the characteristics of our Creator and get closer to Him. Allah has given us all the tools we need to succeed in this life and the next, “And thus have we, by Our Command, sent inspiration to thee.” (Quran 42:52)
There is a great difference between someone who knows his Creator and one who wanders in negligence of his Lord. It is comparable to someone who is alive and someone who is dead, as mentioned in the Holy Quran:
“Can he who was dead, to whom We gave life, and a light whereby he can walk amongst men, be like him who is in the depths of darkness, from which he can never come out?” (Quran 6:122)
Living becomes a burden and loses its value when a person mistakenly believes that there is a separation between the Creator and the creation. The reality is that all of mankind is connected to God, whether some people realize it or not.
In this book we discover how mankind relies upon Allah Almighty for every breath and the importance of knowing our Creator. The values of life can be derived from the ninety-nine beautiful names of Allah. By learning them, as well as their meanings, we can get to know our Lord and cure the diseases of our hearts.
Learning the ninety-nine beautiful names of Allah and applying them to our lives has a magnificent effect on our faith. It’s easy to apply the characteristics of each name to our daily lives, for example:
Allah Almighty is the All-Knowing. In our lives, we can strive for knowledge and resist ignorance.
Allah Almighty is the Most Merciful. We can choose to live our lives being merciful to others and avoid being cruel.
Allah Almighty is the Generous. Each of us can be generous to our fellow man and abstain from greed.
Allah Almighty is the Originator. By this name, we can learn to be creative with our hands and avoid idleness.
Allah Almighty is the Self-Sufficient. As Muslims, we can work hard to provide for our loved ones without being a burden to others.

An excellent book regarding the greatest and most noble form of worship: du'a - a plea from the very heart of a believer directed towards Allah (swt). It is unlike any other book in its field as it deals with the nature, significance, and status of du'a in a Muslim's life. The purpose of this book is to facilitate the reader towards obtaining "practical" benefit, by applying what he reads in his daily life. This reading is essential.
In this work, the author elaborates on the status, importance, and etiquette of dua' in Islam. In the most comprehensive work yet to be written in English on the topic, the author discusses, among other matters:
the excellence and benefits of du'a
the types of du'a
the pre-conditions that are needed in order for a du'a to be accepted
the recommended etiquette of performing du'a
the timings and situations in which a du'a is more likely to be answered
the various factors that aid or prevent a du'a from being accepted
the relationship of du'a with the Divine Decree (qadr)
Will take the reader by hand and shows him what he should do.

Dr. Abdul-Azeem Badawi
Was there ever a point in your life where you realized how many things you've done incorrectly, simply because you don't know the right thing to do according to your deen? And have you ever searched for a book or a person or anything to sort things out for you, so you don't fall into more of the same mistakes? By the grace and mercy of Allah, there are now a number of introductory compendiums of fiqh available in various languages. However, this particular work has unique aspects that have made it a popular work in its native Arabic language and which should make it, insha Allah, an important contribution to the Islamic literature available in English. To start with, the author has restricted his foundations for fiqh to the Qur'an and the authentic hadeeth of the Prophet, painstakingly avoiding any of the weak or rejected hadeeth found in the majority of the books of fiqh. To further ensure that this work is of the utmost reliability, the author has also restricted his discussion to what is most directly derived from the Qur'an and sunnah, and is, therefore, logically above dispute. He has intentionally avoided the numerous detailed disputes that jurists often engage in, leaving the reader with full confidence in what the author has written. Finally, the words penned by Muhammad Salwat Noor al-Deen in the introduction should be sufficient incentive for the Muslim to read this book. He wrote stating that Shaikh Abdul Adheem Ibn Badawi has complied, with briefness in wording, the evidences that can satisfy the truth seeker. This book, albeit small in comparison with the larger works, has combined together two books. First, it is a book containing fiqh that takes the reader by hand and shows him what he should do. Second, it is a book of hadeeth that displays the statements and actions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The combination of these two is a great blessing. The book is sufficient for the one seeking to travel to Allah’s pleasure, and will also satisfy the knowledge seeker’s thirst for knowledge. Thus, it is a book that people are in need of; wherever they go, they will want to carry this book – in their purses or inside their cars – so if they run into any obstacle set by the lethal, envious Shaytan, they will be able to properly face it. Readers will hopefully peruse and ponder over the book, starting with its introduction and not neglecting its final words, while acting upon everything in between.

This package includes all 6 volumes of the Islamic Creed Series. These deeply written books explain, thoroughly, all the creeds and fundamentals of Islam, like the beliefs, the unseen creations, and the hereafter. They are written in an easy-to-understand method, and cover all of the creeds that are essential to being a Muslim.
The first is Belief in Allah. Belief in Allah is the most important aspect of being a Muslim. It is a fundamental belief in Islam. But many Muslims have allowed, through different philosophies and mythologies, for distorted concepts of Allah to creep into their minds. Al-Ashqar discusses these concepts, Affirms the Oneness of Allah, and proves the theory of evolution wrong in the first part of the Islamic Creed Series.
The second volume is The World of the Noble Angels. We all know that angels exist. But who are they? What are they? And what role do they play in our society?
-The third volume is The World of Jinns and Devils. There are creatures beyond humans, different from humans. In their creation, in their attributes, and even in their traits. The Jinns are a small portion of these creatures.
The fourth book in the series is The Messengers and the Messages. Messengers are humans, just like us, sent from Allah to help us be better people and to guide us to the straight path. Belief in all the messengers is an important part of being a Mu'min, or believer.
The fifth book is The Minor Resurrection. What happens after death? When will our world end? What are the signs? These are questions roaming around so many peoples' minds. The answer to these are in his book, directly produced from the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
The sixth book is The Day of Resurrection. We all know that this is a subject that is vital to every believing men and women. –
