Book Review: al-Farq bayna an-Naseehah wat-Tajreeh (The Difference between Advising and Disparaging)

By ash-Shaykh Dr. Saalih bin Fawzaan al-Fawzaan (hafithahullah) Member of the Major Scholars and Permanent Committee for Legal Rulings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Pages: 39
Publisher: Kanooz Ishbiliyyah

I just ordered this book from Rimarket.com and received it last Friday. I read it in one sitting on Saturday. This is based off of a lecture that Dr. Saalih gave. It was transcribed into book form and made as a series entitled Silsalat-ul-Muhaadharaat-il-‘Ilmiyyah as book number 5. There is a foreword by the brother who transcribed it and Dr. Saalih’s permission for the lecture to be published as a booklet. The lecture itself consists of the Doctor’s introduction in which he goes into some preparatory matters before going into the topic. Then he goes into the linguistic and technical meaning of Naseehah. Then he goes into the difference between Naseehah and Tajreeh. Then he ends the lecture with the six categories of Tajreeh along with their explanation. A list of questions and answers is given at the end and then the booklet concludes with an index of the subjects. This is a very beneficial booklet to own and one that is a must for us to read. May Allah reward Dr. Saalih, the transcriber, the publishers, and all of those selling the book.

Book Review: 40 Ahadeeth On the Excellence of the Qura'n & The Companion of the Qura'n

40 Ahadeeth On the Excellence of the Qura'n & The Companion of the Qura'n
Compiled by brother Aboo Waheedah as-Salafi

The Excellence Of Aaishah the Mother of the Believers
Compiled by brother Aboo Waheedah as-Salafi

My dear brother Aboo Waheedah sent me two very beneficial books that I just completed reading. The first is a compilation on the excellence on the Qura’n and its companion. Each narration is accompanied with the Arabic text of the narration for those who want to memorize. The only thing is that the book is not numbered so it is hard to reference pages but the explanations and points of benefit come from Ibn Hajar, an-Nawawee, al-Albaanee, and other scholars. I particularly like brother Aboo Waheedah’s style of translation and the book is paperback making it easy to carry along.

The second book is a compilation of facts and narrations concerning the Mother of the Believers Umm ‘Abdillah ‘Aaishah bint Abee Bakr, may Allah be pleased with her. It was written in response to a negative book that was written about her. May Allah reward brother Aboo Waheedah for compiling this work. It will benefit the Muslim as well as the non-Muslim. Also all proceeds of this book will go to Muslim orphans in Mombasa, Kenya who lack the financial ability for an education. By purchasing this book you are helping a needy Muslim boy or girl, may Allah reward all those responsible for this great effort.

Book Review: Tawheed Comes First

Tawheed Comes First
By Dr. Rabee Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee
Published by Al-Hujjah Publication
Translator: Nuh Abdullah

I received this book from brother Aboo ‘Abdillah, may Allah reward him. Very beneficial read from one of Dr. Rabee’s lectures covering the importance of Tawheed. The Muslim Ummah is in dire need of studying, knowing, and understanding this important topic. We live in a day and age where many Muslims do not give importance to Tawheed which is a right of Allah that every servant must know. It is the reason the Prophets were sent to their people.

How many times have we heard Muslims ignorantly claiming that Tawheed is not important or that explaining it only takes 10 minutes!? I ask all of you to read this lecture and contemplate the Doctor’s beneficial advice. At 36 pages you can read this within an hour and walk away with a better understanding of why we must learn Tawheed and how by not knowing it, it has caused the Ummah to split into various sects and groups.

Book Review: Ahkaam-ul-Mareedh

Ahkaam-ul-Mareedh fee at-Tahaarah was-Salaah was-Siyaam
(Rulings regarding the Sick/Handicapped concerning Purification, Prayer, and Fasting)
By ash-Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz (rahimahullah)
Printed by Maktabah al-Hadee al-Muhammadee in Egypt
Pages: 55

This is an excellent treatise by the late Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Shaykh Bin Baaz (rahimahullah) covering the various Fiqh rulings of Purification, Prayer, and Fasting. The Shaykh starts with each topic and goes into a short synopsis of how the sick or handicapped person should perform their purification, prayer, and fast.

Then rulings presented by the people who are ill or handicapped are answered by the Shaykh. The book is small but filled with very important information. My dear brother Aboo ‘Abdillah (hafithahullah) sent me this wonderful book. By the grace of Allah al-Hujjah Publication has translated this book into English and they are currently working on publishing soon by the will of Allah.

I recommend this book because these are rulings that may affect you or someone you know. And since the children of Adam are prone to sickness and possibly becoming handicapped these rulings are a must to know.

I ask Allah to have mercy on our Shaykh, our father Ibn Baaz and to grant him the highest place in Jannah for his efforts in spreading Islam with the correct understanding.

Book Review: ad-Du'aa min al-Kitaab was-Sunnah

This small pocket book contains two works that are taken from a bigger version. The first book is ad-Du’aa min-al-Kitaab was-Sunnah by Sa’eed bin ‘Alee bin Wahf al-Qahtaanee, author of the well known book Hisn-ul-Muslim. The second work is called al-‘Ilaaj bi-Ruqyaa min-al-Kitaab was-Sunnah. The first work covers the benefits of Du’aa and then goes into the manners of observing Du’aa and the causes for it to be answered. He gives twenty four manners and reasons. Then he mentions thirty eight times and places in which the Du’aa is likely to be answered. After this he brings various Du’aa of the Quraan and the various Du’aa of the Sunnah. Each Du’aa is mentioned with its source for reference and authenticity.

The second work is really detailed and covers the importance of seeking a cure for one’s illness by way of the Noble Quran and the Purified Sunnah. The first section covers the cure for one afflicted with magic. The second covers the cure for the evil eye. The third covers the sure for one afflicted by the Jinn. After that the author goes into curing one’s soul in addition to many other illnesses of the heart such as stress, worry, sadness, grief, anger, anxiety, insomnia, and treatment by way of black seed, honey, and Zamzam water. He then finishes with how one cures the illness of the heart.

The style that the author uses is simple yet clear for the beginner of Arabic. The texts are also vocalized so you know who to pronounce each word correctly. This is a nice book, one easy to carry with you to memorize the Du’aa after prayer or just to open up when waiting in line somewhere.
