It is a guide for learning to read the Arabic of the Qur'an in a simple way through transliteration without a teacher. After mastering this guide, one will be able to read Qur'an without any difficulty... Insha'Allah. The reading of Qur'an is of prime importance to a Muslim. Qur'an was revealed in Arabic language and it should also be read in Arabic only, because the actual meaning of Qur'an in Arabic can not be expressed in the translation of any language. That is why; it is an established fact that the reading of any translation of Qur'an does not mean that the actual Qur'an has been read. It is the basic teaching of Islam to read Qur'an as many times as one can. The reward of the recitation of Qur'an and remembrance of Allah is very great, and we can gel that reward only if we are able to read the Qur'an in its original language Arabic. But the Muslims, who can not read Arabic, are unable to get benefited by reading the Qur'an in its language. To ease them from this difficulty, we expressed our desire to Qari Abdussalem to prepare some kind of helping guide, we are happy to express that Qari Abdussalam prepared this book taking keen interest and using all his expertise of teaching Arabic language and Qur'an. May Allah favour him with His Mercy In this book, through transliteration, an easy approach has been offered to learn reading Arabic in a simple way. Through step by step lessons, all the necessary points are such explained that one can easily understand and read Arabic to earn the ability of reciting Qur'an with its correct pronunciation. Hence this book is as useful for children as it is for elder people. As no such attempt was made before, which can help people learning to read Arabic and recite Qur'an, we hope that all persons, who were unable to read Arabic, will appreciate our efforts and get the advantage. We hope that Allah will make our efforts successful and bless all of us abundantly.

Early Western biographies of the Prophet of Islam (sa) were largely based upon the Qur’an, as well as upon the late Muslim sources dating from the sixteenth century. From Gustav Weil to William Muir, European writers proceeded on the assumption that if a certain amount of careful sifting was done, a considerable body of reliable tradition could be used for biographical purposes. After the publication of Goldziher’s Muhammedanische Studien in 1890, the reliability of Muslim sources became controversial. This stance was intensified by the publication of Schacht’s The Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence, in which he claimed that none of the Hadith literature is authentic. Current Western research is characterized by two groups of researchers. One group holds that it is impossible to reconstruct the life of the Prophet (sa) from existing Muslim sources, while the other maintains a more optimistic view of the possibilities. The aim of this study is to prove that applying Western methods of critical analysis to the available Muslim sources can take us back to early, reliable information about the Prophet (sa). Through a critical analysis of MS. Berlin 9409 (the so-called Tārīkh Ibn Abi Shaybah), it successfully challenges some of the problems raised by the pessimistic attitude. Students of Hadith will find this study thought-provoking and informative
