"Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful one who taught by the pen, who taught man what he did not know." The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations. This new translation is written in a contemporary idiom that remains faithful to the original, making it easy to listen to while retaining its powers of eloquence. Archaisms and cryptic language are avoided and the Arabic meaning preserved by respecting the context of the discourse. The message of the Qur'an was directly addressed to all people regardless of class, gender, or age, and this translation is equally accessible to everyone.  

Eight years ago, Lisan the fisherman, who has always believed he was descended from royalty, left his wife and the Water Village. Now he's back, and he says he can prove it. Six hundred years ago, a forbidden relationship between the royal children of Brunei set into motion a chain of events that will end with the death of a king...or the death of a god. As the story of Lisan's true intentions – and what he was really doing in those years away – unravels, the story of those doomed royal children also spins to its inevitable conclusion. 

The Simple Seerah series relates the greatest story ever told: the life of the Prophet Muhammad. After struggling thought the challenges of Prophethood in part one, and narrowly surviving an assassination attempt by the Quraysh, the Prophet is left with no choice but to leave his hometown; the place he was born, raised and loved. Together with his best friend Abu Bakr, he migrates northwards in search of a new home. Now begin a New chapter in Prophet Muhammad’s life: building a new community. A community based on the principles of fairness, justice, kindness, and worshiping the One true God alone. Though warmly received by many in the city, there are pockets of people who don’t want him there and will try to undermine him at every step. And then there remains the issue of the Quraysh who only have one thing on their mind: revenge. For the best reading experience, we recommend to reading Part One of The Simple Seerah before starting this book.

It’s quite incredible when you think about it, that this book and many others like it are all written about a man who did not know how to read or write. The Prophet Muhammad is the most influential and loved human being to have ever walked the face of this earth. The things that he said and did over fourteen hundred years ago still impact the lives of billions around the world today. The Simple Seerah tells the story of Islam from the beginning: how an entire city tried to kill one man simply because he spoke the truth about God, calling for justice and the fair treatment of women and the poor. It is a tale of searching for truth, forming meaningful bonds beyond status or personal interest, and overcoming obstacles for the sake of the Almighty.

Through their tested moments, there exist the hope we need to get through our own tested moments.  —— When we are tested, there is a chance that we will reach for the Quran to find inspirations to pull ourselves back up. In it we would find stories of past men and women who were also tested — the likes of Prophet Musa AS or Maryam AS — and we would look up to them with reverence because we are in awe with their unshakeable faith towards Allah.   While these stories act as a ‘bridge’ that connects us to the people of the past, sometimes we struggle to identify ourselves within their stories. They are the chosen ones, and we know our level of spirituality could never match theirs.   But what if, instead of just looking at their names and the miraculous circumstances surrounding the story, we look at the traits they displayed while enduring the tests such as bravery, honesty, and perseverance? In this book, author Syaari Ab Rahman takes us on a journey of Quranic contemplation that offers a fresh perspective on how we can reflect upon the stories and nurture the traits of the people mentioned in the Quran.

The Qur’an is the word of Allah, it is the most eloquent and best of all speech. The Qur’an uses different rhetorical devices and parables to convey its message. Allah conveys to us facts, stories and examples as well as guidance and warnings throughout His book. Allah says in the Qur’an: ‘We have given every type of parable in this Qur’an so that they can understand and think’. This beautiful book will take 28 parables and aphorisms in the Qur’an and explain their context and meaning in order for us to understand, reflect and change our lives.

‘I discovered that with gratitude, comes abundance which further increased my gratefulness to Allah.’ Life is a myriad of blessings and abundance that comes from the One and Only God, Allah. We might often overlook these blessings due to distractions. We compare ourselves to others, we question the trials and tribulations that we face – the ‘why me?’ question. We even question Allah’s decree to us. We forget to be grateful to Him yet He constantly showers us with His Immense Mercy. Coupled with thematic artworks of the day and night event, this book captures the author’s personal reflection on honing the act of gratitude as a way of life. Each metaphorical chapter serves as a reminder that from Allah we come, and to Him we return; in every situation, whether the best or the worst.

We often pretend to be happy and put on a brave face for the world despite carrying the pain of enduring a personal struggle or adversity. When we are alone, that is when we fall into despair — for failing to overcome the struggles that we carry silently in our hearts. Are we considered strong if we do not fall when life pushes us to the ground? Do our faith and belief tell us that we cannot let our misery affect us because as the saying goes, “we must bear patience”? In this book, author Liyana Musfirah takes readers on a reflective journey of discovering the strength that emerges from each of our painful and scarring episodes. This is the book that celebrates what God has given women — the resilience to withstand emotional, spiritual, or even physical hardships.

“What’s beautiful about being broken is that you start to realise how much feelings you carry. You are introduced to the layers of emotions that you never knew were in you all along.” *** Life is a place for us to be tested—this is something we know but going through a painful and heartbreaking experience can leave the heart feeling like it’s shattered into pieces. We succumb to the pain, drown ourselves in the whirlwind of emotions, and we end up becoming a person we no longer recognise because of our “brokenness”. But love and pain are emotions from God. So why does one bring us joy and the other makes us feel like we’re trapped in a dark hole? *** In Dear Broken Soul, Islamic educator, Liyana Musfirah, and licensed psychotherapist, Maimunah Mosli, explore what happens to us when we go through a heartbreaking experience and how we can revive the heart by seeking God through our brokenness. It also invites us to embrace one certain fact–our heart and its brokenness will always have a home to come back to–and that is with God.

The journey of reconnecting with our faith can feel like falling in love sometimes. Everything is sweet in the beginning and there is a high that boosts us to be the best version of ourselves. We chase after perfection in our solah, in our Quran recitation, and in our sadaqah–thinking it’s the only way for Allah to accept our deeds. Until the chase exhausts us and we find ourselves in a slump. Suddenly we find ourselves at this intersection between powering through on our spiritual journey despite experiencing a type of spiritual burnout and giving up altogether thinking we’re not the chosen ones. Does being a good Muslim mean we never feel like we’re tired or we’ve failed? Is this journey only for the pious and selected few who are sin-free and have a strong hold of their faith? In this book, Ameera Aslam tenderly shares her own journey of finding mercy after hopelessness. Of getting back up after falling on her path to find Allah. — This book is an invitation for us, to let us know that in being a good abd’for Allah, it is possible to move from operating in fear, shame, and punishment to joy, hope, and gratitude.

Muslims all over the world see Muhammad as God's last messenger to mankind. Through his actions, he showed the way to live a life that provides for all the needs of body, mind, and soul, and elevates man's aspirations towards a sublime ideal in a very simple, direct, and truthful manner. He built a state that was dedicated to truth and justice and to the liberation of man throughout the world. He wrote to emperors, kings, and rulers, calling on them to believe in God and to follow His message, yet, at the same time, he lived a life of poverty, leaving aside the riches that were offered to him. At a time when the Prophet is much maligned by writers, cartoonists, and various other detractors, this book aims to show Muhammad's true character in detail, both in its most everyday and most extraordinary moments. Adil Salahi's writings include the acclaimed Muhammad: Man and Prophet and Pioneers of Islamic Scholarship, and the English translation of the eighteen-volume In the Shade of the Qur'an. His main career has been in radio and print journalism, and for over thirty years he was editor of Islam in Perspective, a twice-weekly full-page column in the Arab News, a Saudi daily newspaper.

It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the Islamic perspective on motherhood and parenting.

Many of us have lost our way in this life. Some people have given up hope, as they see no way out of their pain, their problems, their failures. Some people carry years of shame and self-hatred. And some live with a deep emptiness, despite worldly success.  But there is hope. And there is always a road back. Just as we were sent on this worldly journey with the capacity to fall, we were also given the capacity to rise. Just as we would bleed, we would also heal. We would be designed with the divine capacity to cope. To survive. To even thrive through the storms. Each and every one of us would be given the God-given potential to see through the darkness. To rise through the cold. To break again and again, and to heal again and again. And then to be even more beautiful at the broken parts. This book provides a step-by-step guide for healing these broken parts—our emptiness.
