Book Review: Clarifying the Meaning of Laa Ilhah Illa Allah

(Front cover of Book)

I just received a free copy of this book from my brother Aboo Dhikr (hafithahullah) from al-Hujjah Publications. This book is wonderful! It is one of those books that you read in one sitting. I couldn't put it down when I opened it.

The book is 51 pages and published by al-Hujjah Publication based in Brooklyn, New York. This is the second edition and was translated by the brother Aboo Yusuf Khaleefah Walton (hafithahullah). The simplicity of the translation, the beautiful format of the book and the bright yellow paper pages make this publication attractive and a must have. This is the kind of book that you can sit down with your spouse and read chapter by chapter.

Here is a glimpse at the table of contents:

Chapter Three: Say it and Act by its Requirements

Chapter Five: Divisions of Opposition to the Commandment of Allah

(Back of Cover)

One other thing I wanted to say about this book is that the brothers added thier own footnotes to indicate what is from the Book Publisher and what is from the author. In doing this they have implemented a beautiful advise from ash-Shaykh Naasir-ud-Deen al-Albaanee (rahimahullah) in properly referencing footnotes. Jazaahumullah khairan!

May Allah reward those responsible at al-Hujjah Publication for putting out this extremely beneficial treatise and may He grant us all Tawfeeq.
