Man has always been fascinated by the stars: those mysteriously, yet perfectly placed bodies of light that have adorned the heavens from the beginning of time. Many have endeavored to translate them, to decipher their meanings, trying to find a link between them and man's destiny.
This is the story of a young boy called Amir, who has fallen in love with those 'old dazzling lights.' After a series of powerful dreams, Amir encounters the mysterious Teacher of the Stars, who Amir believes can teach him the secret of his dreams. These secrets begin to unfold as Amir journeys through the 'stars' in search of love and peace. Amir is the searching soul, the child of inquisition. He stands at the edge of time, trying to capture the inspiration from the songs he hears. He cannot rest until he unravels the meaning and significance of those stars, and their constellation in the heavens. With this understanding Amir's Heaven without Stars illuminates.

This book is a must for every Imam and anyone who expects to give Friday sermons in the English-speaking world. The sermons contained in this book are collected from the sermons of Prophet Muhammad (s) himself, his companions, and various prominent scholars. The sermons are both educational and heart-moving, therefore fulfilling the goal of the Friday sermon. Every Muslim who attends the Friday congregational prayer wants to have his faith increased with inspirational and encouraging exhortations, and at the same time be sure that the information that he is receiving is Islamically correct. Thus, we present this collection of sermons in hopes that it will assist the reader in delivering quality religious speeches, thereby fulfilling the obligation of the Friday sermon in the best manner.

Dawud Wharnsby Ali's unconventional approaches to writing and religion challenge paradigms of how we look at our own lives in relation to others and the world through which we all journey.
This book collects together all the lyrics that have inspired communities of all faiths around the world for over two decades. Dawud’s work as a writer, inspired in part by his deep respect for spiritual scriptures and the Qur'an in particular. Dawud Wharnsby's recordings and reputation have established him as an institution in the realm of English language Nasheed (spiritual songs of a world-rhythm/folk style, drawn from Islamic cultural and musical roots). In true folk-song tradition, his writings have taken on a life of their own - spreading far beyond officially targeted territories by way of a bootleg industry which circulates his recordings unofficially and uncontrollably throughout the world. Though distribution of Wharnsby's material is difficult to gage, his efforts have spawned an artistic movement and musical industry of young artists hailing from Los Angeles, London, Jakarta and all stops in between.

Review:
“Dawud Wharnsby’s poems are the very essence of a spiritual journey – words for our minds and words for our hearts.” - Tariq Ramadan

Excerpt:
There was nothing more to say.
There was sun-snow as I drove away.
Back home was the only place to go,
and I did not know,
I would never see her after that day

Shades of Islam is a dazzling and moving collection of poetry that addresses faith, love, politics and Islam in the twenty-first century.

Reviews
"The poems of Rafey Habib offer a window onto the sensibility of a modern American Muslim, with unflinching honesty and richly informed compassion. The great humanistic tradition of poetry known in Arabic and other Eastern languages here finds a contemporary English voice, which will be recognized like a lost friend who has unaccountably been rediscovered."
- Carl W. Ernst, William R. Kenan, Junior, Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, UNC-Chapel Hill.
"I find [the poems] deeply moving and beautifully felt and written with simplicity and a profundity that is wholly disarming."
- Harold Schweizer, Professor of English, Bucknell University.
"Over the past half a century, the most politically engaged literature has predominantly emerged from cultures outside the wealthy transatlantic worlds. This collection of poems is a formidable reminder of the capacities and the necessities to connect issues of justice, rights, and religion on a global scale."
- Renate Holub Director, Interdisciplinary Studies, University of California, Berkeley
"I applaud...both the courage of this poetry, and the development of what is today practically a novel poetic form, the extended public meditation in lyric form. It reminds me a lot of the early Auden and Day Lewis; and it shows great promise. So much else passing itself off these days as poetry looks utterly trivial alongside it."
- Chris Fitter Associate Professor of English, Rutgers University

How do we develop a spiritual life? How do we change ourselves so that we can live by the universal spiritual values of Islam? 7 Steps to Spiritual Intelligence tells us how to come closer to God in seven steps: through genuine seeking of God, discipleship of a spiritual director, learning and understanding spiritual intelligence, simplicity and contentment, striving to practise, remembering God and praying to Him, and self-inspection and self-control.

Based on the teachings of classical scholars including Imam Ghazali and upon years of practical experience in teaching young Muslims, Dr Musharraf Hussain has given us a contemporary and highly accessible way to understand and apply Islamic teachings to spirituality.

This collection of short wisdoms from the works of Imam al-Ghazali reflects the broad range of his brilliant intellectual thought. With an emphasis upon literary quality, concision, and concentration of meaning, each aphorism is full of value and significance and typifies the tradition of qawa'id (legal maxims) in the Islamic intellectual sciences. A commentary accompanies each maxim unraveling its wisdom.

Tastefully presented and luxurious in feel, this book is a chamber of spirituality readers will look forward to delving into. This is the second title in the Treasury in Islamic Thought and Civilization series, which seeks to present clear introductions to the thought and wisdom of major Islamic intellectual figures, prepared by learned translators.
