Al-Basheer was a magazine dedicated to Islamic sciences. It was published from 1987 to 1995. During that time, it developed a small but very loyal following.

The articles contained in this volume come from the first two years of al-Basheer. Among the numerous articles contained herein are: “Allah’s Description of the Hypocrites,” “Between Islam and Kufr,” “Islam and Innovations (I): The Meaning of Bidah,” “There is no Compulsion in the Religion,” “Daily Congregational Prayers and Combining the Prayers,” “Zakaat and Jewelry,” “Abu Hurairah: A preserver of the Sunnah,” “The Importance of Jihad in the Life of a Muslim,” and “The Importance of the Sunnah and Hadith in Islam.”

These articles have been in great demand and it is hoped that their publication in book form will ease access to them on a large scale.

This translation of "Khutabat" covers themes such as Iman, Islam, the prayer, fasting, almsgiving, pilgrimage and Jihad.
