Niqaab: A Seal on the Debate

RM 17.00

  Sister Kamillah is an American who embraced Islam 30 years ago. She was born and raised in Michigan USA in a Christian household with many of her relatives being Southern Baptist Ministers from a region known as the ‘Bible Belt’ in North Carolina. Her mother dedicated her to the Church from an early age and it came to no surprise that she wanted to spread the word of God. However there was one problem- she didn’t believe in the trinity. After realising she was not a Christian she began her journey in search of pure monotheism with Allah guiding her to Islam.

  She spent her years studying Hadeeth, striving to understand the statements and actions of Prophet Muhammad whom Allah sent to explain the Qur’an. More recently she has spent several years bringing the various texts within the different books of Hadeeth together, promoting the practice of looking at the collective evidences.

  Although she has spent many years writing articles to clarify the Sunna she has recently attracted attention through her writings in the online magazine for Muslim women entitled www.todaysmuslimah.com. This magazine has spread to over 35 countries worldwide and she is currently the Chief Editor of its Islamic Section.        

  This book, ‘The Niqaab! A seal on the debate’ is an example where the author has brought together the collective evidences from the various books of Hadeeth in discussing the dress code of the Muslimah. The book explains the meaning of the words Khimaar, Jilbaab, Hijaab and Niqaab and describes their various attributes after teasing them out from the ambiguous word veil which they have all been translated to in the English language. The book also clarifies the differences in dress code between the wives of the Prophet and the Muslim women in general and explains how incorrect rulings and opinions have been promoted. The author has shown the true position of the Niqaab in Islam, proving beyond doubt that it is not obligatory, and instead describing in rich detail the true obligatory dress code of the Muslimah. By bringing forth the collective evidences from the various books of Hadeeth the author has essentially placed a seal and stamp on the debate regarding the Niqaab.

Intercession and The Recital of Mowlid

   A small cross section of Muslims believe that every person has the ability to ask directly from Allah and that an intermediary is not required to intercede with Allah on their behalf. Using evidence from the Holy Quran and the Hadith this book explains the Truth relating to who are eligible to ask Allah directly and also sets out to identify those persons that Allah himself has given permission to intercede. 

    Learned scholars at Al Azhar University Cairo have reviewed the material in this book and this institution has given its approval to the contents of this book.  To quote an excerpt from their approval “…. we would like to inform that the above mentioned book does not carry anything to contradict with the Islamic creed and there is no objection to publish the book”

    The inspiration for this book came from two questions that were put to a Fakir who was giving a discourse to a group of people. A man in the group asked the Fakir   

           Why are people distracted in mind while in the midst of performing Salath? 

           Who are eligible to ask directly from Allah? 

      However if the reader approaches the contents of this book with an open mind and a genuine desire to seek the Truth, Inshallah Allah will help the reader to understand the Truth.

   This book is an English rendering of a popular Arabic book entitled Mushkala al-Faqr wa Kaifa ‘Aljiha al-Islam by the renowned Muslim XE "Muslim"  Scholar ‘Yusūf al-Qardāwi. The author depicts the basic principles of the Islamic Economic System XE "Economic System"  in the light of the Holy Qur’an XE "Holy Qur’an"  and the Sunnah XE "Sunnah" .

    He also offers a comparative study of the economic XE "economic"  systems functioning under the three ideologies viz., Communism XE "Communism" , Capitalism XE "Capitalism"  and Islam, contrasting them objectively and establishing the superiority of the latter with convincing arguments. Capitalistic and Communistic ideologies, have proven to be lacking in giving mankind the much needed peace and security. These ideologies are rather fatal to the peace and progress XE "progress"  of humanity XE "humanity" .   While the Economic System XE "Economic System"  gifted by Islam, like its laws XE "laws"  and orders are relevant to all other social XE "social"  disciplines, can safely be called universal law. It works in any kind of society. It is a system of brotherhood and mutual love and affection. It never favours class-struggle and hatred. It provides real peace, safety and tranquility to mankind.

Fundamentals of Islam: Khutubah New Rivised Edition

By Abul A'la Mawdudi

Pgs. 303, P/B,

ISBN 978-983-43614-2-6

RM 35.00

   Fundamentals of Islam is a revised English edition of the critically acclaimed Khutubah (originally written in Urdu). It consist of Friday congregational addresses, in them he expounds familiar themes; like Iman, Islam, the Prayer, Fasting, Alms-giving, Pilgrimage and Jihad.  

   Mawdudi passion for Islam and the Ummah is clearly present in these addresses, which are beautiful and eloquent spoken, powerfully and passionately reasoned and yet simple and lucid in style; he imparts to these very teachings, the life and revolutionary ardour which they had when originally proclaimed and instituted. This he does mainly by restoring the vital links between them which, unfortunately, have long since been lost in Muslim minds and lives – links like, life and Iman, Iman and actions, Jihad and Iman, Iman and history. In his discourse, Iman is placed at the centre of life, so it can regain its power to change man and his world.

    These addresses, which were originally delivered more than four decades ago from 1938 to 1939, is still relevant and vital. It has been meeting the real and great spiritual and cultural guidance needed by Muslims; and despite the passage of time, retains its original freshness. This edition restores Mawdudi’s message with his original charm and vigour to a new generation of Muslims.
