Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah (RA) was one of the “Ten Promised Paradise”: ten Companions who received glad tidings of Paradise on the same occasion during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Among them were the four great Caliphs: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali—but who was Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah?

He was one of the earliest converts and strongest supporters of the Prophet. The Prophet called him “the Amin (the trustworthy one) of our community”. Aisha even said that Abu Ubaidah was the most beloved Companion of the Prophet after Abu Bakr. He was such an outstanding Companion that Caliph Umar, as he was dying, wished Abu Ubaidah was still alive so he could nominate him as his successor. Subhan Allah.

Through this illustrated storybook, discover with your children the amazing life and personality of Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah.

Muhammad Abdul Bari

In this memoir, Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari asks us to look beyond the extremism and violence that all too often defines the Muslim community toward those, like himself, navigating a middle-way life. A path defined in Islam as the 'natural way', far away from the cliff of radicalisation that causes some to harm themselves and others.
Through his personal journey as an Air Force officer in Bangladesh to the leader of the Muslim Council of Britain during the ill-advised War of Terror and beyond, Muhammad's reassuring reflections come to light: the importance of community engagement, civic responsibility, and what it means to live a good life.
In articulating his positions Muhammad Abdul Bari offers Muslims, and everybody else, guidance on going forward as engaged, confident individuals, down a path that rejects radical views and seeks to stay in the centre, living a life of moderation that is, as the Qur'an says, 'justly balanced'.

Umar Farooq (ra), the second Caliph of Islam, ruled for about ten years over a total area of 2,251,030 square miles. His rule was exemplary, every decision and action of his being guided by the word of Allah, as enshrined in the Quran. It is difficult to imagine that any ruler who had a huge empire, like Umar Farooq's (ra), would live like a simple, common man. But that is exactly what he did. He wore clothes with many patches, slept on the floor, ate plain food and travelled to foreign lands with just one servant and a camel. Umar Farooq (ra) had a strong sense of duty and justice. Throughout his rule, everyone was treated equally and with justice, whether they were a Muslim or a non-Muslim. He lived in the love and fear of Allah. In the history of the world, there was and still is no other ruler like him: he was unique.

Kristiane Backer

Kristiane Backer was one of the very first presenters of MTV Europe. For some years she lived and breathed the international music scene, quickly gaining a cult following amongst viewers and becoming a darling of the European press. As she reached the pinnacle of her success she realised that, despite having all she could have wished for, she was never truly satisfied. Something very important was missing. A fateful meeting with Pakistani cricket hero Imran Khan changed her life. He invited her to his country where she encountered a completely different world from the one she knew, the religion and culture of Islam. Instead of pop and rock stars she was meeting men and women whose lives were dominated by the love of God and who cared very little for the brief glories of this world. She began to read the Quaran and to study books about the Faith. 

A few years later, after travelling more widely in the Islamic world and knowing that she had discovered her spiritual path, she embraced Islam in a London mosque. And then her real adventures began. In this very personal memoir Kristiane Backer tells the story of her conversion and explains how faith, despite the many challenges she faced, has given her inner peace and the meaning she sought.

The DAMASCENE POLYMATH, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah is one of the most fascinating scholars from medieval Islamic civilization

Kube Publishing Ltd

Mustafa Sheikh

The Damascene polymath, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728/1328) is one of the most fascinating scholars from medieval Islamic civilization, acknowledged for his intellectual brilliance by both his admirers and his detractors. His readiness to present his own scholarly interpretations of scripture, and his instinctive rejection of much of the received wisdom of his day, mark him out as one of the most original thinkers of Islam, and indeed, one of the most incisive minds in human history.

This collection, a commentary on a brief sampling of Ibn Taymiyyah’s writings, represents a drop in the ocean of his multifaceted scholarly legacy. The reader is given a taste of this scholar’s views on theology, worship, spirituality, law, reason, revelation, and much else that is sure to enrich the reader’s understanding of Islam.

Dr Mustafa Sheikh is a Lecturer in Islamic studies at the University of Leeds, where he is also the Co-Director of the University’s Iqbal Centre for the Study of Contemporary Islam. He completed his traditional Islamic studies in the Middle East, and his MSt and DPhil at Oxford University. He is one of the UK’s authorities on the thought of Ibn Taymiyyah.

“Refreshingly accurate . . . highly engaging, with elegant commentary, and adorned with footnotes referencing materials for further study.” – Shaykh Yasir Qadhi, Dean of Academic Affairs, AlMaghrib Institute
