The uniqueness of the life of the Prophet Muhammad &#65018; compared to that of other personalities and world figures present and past, is such that his &#65018; legacy has not only remained, but is continually and endlessly on the rise. His &#65018; praise continues to be spread far and wide by men and women whom Allah, exalted is He, has chosen in various times and places to carry the light of the Messenger &#65018; and convey his life &#65018; to the people. This Prophetic legacy is enduring, and will forever remain as long as the testament of faith is upon the lips and hearts of believers. Who is the Prophet Muhammad &#65018;? is primarily a didactic text in question & answer format. The book consists of 6 groups of questions & answers, progressing from relatively simple questions and short answers in the first group, to more complex issues with longer, more detailed explanations by the end. Each question & answer pair is given first in Arabic, as formulated by Habib 'Umar, or by his students under his supervision. Then, the translation of each Q & A is given. While perhaps not common in adult literature, the Q&A format is a time-honored teaching technique, and readers of all ages and levels will find surprising benefits in this unique text. The entire book has been beautifully arranged and presented by IGI's world-class design team, to make reading an enjoyable and visually appealing reading experience for the whole family. The author, Habib Umar bin Hafiz, is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad &#65018;, and is one of the great luminaries of our time. This book has been made available to English speakers for whom we ask Allah to make it a means to attain proximity, in this life and the Hereafter, to Him and the Prophet Muhammad &#65018;.

Who is the Prophet Muhammad

Bin Hafiz, Habib Umar

The 'Nasim' is a collection of litanies and supplications compiled by Sayyid 'Abd al-Qadir ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Ali ibn Shihab al-Din, a student of Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz. These litanies have been traditionally recited in Tarim, Yemen, some for over 1000 years, as part of the congregation of the Khatm of the Qur'an. With this publication of the Nasim, these powerful and ancient supplications are made available throughout the Muslim world. It is hoped that this publication will allow you, your family, and your community to connect with the blessed traditions of Tarim, and through them to the Prophet &#65018; and his family &#1585;&#1590;&#1610; &#1575;&#1604;&#1604;&#1607; &#1593;&#1606;&#1607;&#1605;. It is further hoped that this bilingual edition with transliteration will facilitate such a connection, regardless of whether the reader is well-versed in the Arabic language. This text contains: <ul> <li>Foreword by Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz</li> <li>Evidence for Gatherings of the Khatm of the Qur'&#257;n, and its Benefits and Etiquettes</li> <li>The Schedule of the Gathering of the Khatm</li> <li>The Prayer on Completion of the Qur'an from Imam 'Ali Zayn al-'Abidin</li> <li>The Plea for the Fulfilment of Filial Piety (Du'a Birr al-Walidayn) of Ibn Abi'l-Hubb Al-Hadrami</li> <li>Introductory material and footnotes</li> </ul> In an attempt to unlock the rich eloquence of our master Zayn al-'Abidin, Sayyid 'Abd al-Qadir has provided explanatory footnotes that have been retained for the reader of the Arabic text. As for rendering it into English, it was chosen to translate the meanings of the supplications with the aim of keeping the English reader engaged in addressing Allah. In his foreword, Habib Umar bin Hafiz says, "Part of connecting oneself to the Truth and to His Messenger is to venerate the noble Qur'an. It (venerating it) is also a cause of increase in the light of faith and certainty, and of purifying the heart of impurities, so that one's affair and worth may increase before the Most Merciful. Part of venerating the Qur'an, then, is to recite it with excellence, contemplate its meanings and act upon its contents. Also part of venerating it is to cherish its completion, to gather for its completion, and to mark its completion with supplication, humble entreaty and prayer." This edition of the Nasim is dedicated to the memory of those killed in the massacre at the mosques of Christchurch, New Zealand. The publishers ask Allah that this work be a gift for the souls of the martyrs and their families. <ul> <li>Author: Sayyid 'Abd al-Q&#257;dir ibn 'Abd All&#257;h ibn 'Al&#299; ibn Shih&#257;b al-D&#299;n</li> <li>Translators: Dar Al Quran</li> <li>Paperback Edition: 193 pages</li> <li>Arabic text with English translation and transliteration</li> <li>Forward by Habib Umar Bin Hafiz</li> <li>ISBN: 978-1-952306-30-3</li> </ul>

Selections from the Diwan of Shaykh Salih Al-Ja'fari, Volume 1 (Bilingual Edition)

Al-Ja'fari, Salih

Shaykh Muhammad 'Alawi al-Maliki delivers an absorbing account of the Isra' wal-Mi'raj that brings the reader almost into the story. Indeed it is a detailed narrative spiced with a simple commentary that attempts to reconcile various accounts or reports of the event that transpired. This provides a comprehensive reading that takes the reader on an experiential ride to feel the magic of Rasulullah's journey. In short, it is very inspiring; exhilarating to the spiritual core. Praise be to Allah Who chose His praiseworth servant Muhammad (saw) for the Message, distinguished him with the night journey on the lightening-mount Buraq, and caused him to ascend the ladders of perfection to the high heavens to show him of the greatest signs of his Lord. He raised him until he reached the Lote-tree of the Farthest Boundary where ends the science of every Messenger-Prophet and every Angel Brought Near, where lies the Garden of Retreat, to the point that he heard the sound of the pens that write what has befallen and what is to befall.

The Prophet's Night Journey and Heavenly Ascent

Alawi Al-Maliki, Sayyid Muhammad

This is a short but valuable text that elucidates one of the more controversial issues related to the people of Tasawwuf, and more specifically to the people of unveiling. Although many of the Imams and people of lofty status, whom no one could accuse of lying, have reported seeing the Prophet, peace be upon him, in a wakeful state, the issue remains problematic for some Scholars, among both the supporters and the critics of the Sufis. Imam al-Suyuti argues that such a vision is not only possible, but that there are many well-documented examples of such visions, both in the time of the Sahabah (radhi Allahu 'anhum ajma'in) and afterwards. The Imam begins with texts that are irrefutable, from the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him, which establish the explicit possibility of the occurrence of such visions. Al-Suyuti then presents sound anecdotal evidence that such encounters have occurred in the past, mentioning stories from the Companions (radhi Allahu 'anhum ajma'in) and from the righteous Scholars and Imams (may Allah have mercy on them). Finally, Imam al-Suyuti concludes this short treatise by providing answers to various possible and plausible objections. Overall, this book is recommended as an introduction to the subject, which is covered in detail in the works of many of the Awliya' (may Allah have mercy on them).

Shedding Light on the Possibility of Seeing Prophets and Angels: Tanwīr al-Ḥalak fī Imkān Ru’yah al-Nabī wa al-Malak

al-Suyuti, Jalal al-Din

In the age that we live in, our days have become our nights, and our nights have become our days wherein we are continually focusing on matters of this temporary life and turning a blind eye to that which matters, such as the teachings of the best of creation, the one who uttered in a supplication: "O Allah, my Nation, my Nation ", the Prophet Muhammad &#65018;. This compilation is unique in that each form of prayer highlights the connection between the Messenger &#65018; and the Names and Qualities of Allah &#65019;. In addition, each form includes a unique supplication for the one reciting it. The reciter of these prayers thus finds himself engaging in the remembrance of Allah &#65019; by calling Him through His Most Sublime Names, and asking Him to send prayers and increase the honour and rank of the Messenger &#65018;. By doing this, he obtains the virtues and reward of sending prayers upon the Prophet, and also supplicates to Allah, asking Him such amazing things that we are generally unable to think of when asking of Him. The author, &#7716;ab&#299;b &#703;Umar bin &#7716;af&#299;&#7827;, is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. &#65018;, and one of the great luminaries of our time. This salawat collection has been made available to English speakers for whom we ask Allah &#65019; to make it a means to attain proximity, in this life and the Hereafter, to Him &#65019; and the Prophet Muhammad &#65018;.

Celebrating the Birth of the Prophet

Al-Maliki, Muhammad Alawi

"All the Sultan's Men" is a translation of Imam al-Suyuti's text "Ma Rawahu al-Asatin fi 'Adami al-Maji'i ila al-Salatin". As indicated by the title, it argues and establishes the blameworthy nature of scholars associating with rulers. Since the age of early Muslims when the Prophetic Khilafah ended and the era of Muslim kings and empires began, scholars have wrestled with the nature of the relationship between the ulema-class and rulers. Some of our most illustrious Imams, such as Imam Abu Hanifah & Imam Malik, refused official appointments from rulers. Moreover, they refused to visit them in their courts. Others such as Qadi Abu Yusuf - the student of Imam Abu Hanifah - accepted official appointments. Such disparity in the way of dealing with the rulers was echoed throughout the time of the Tabi'in. Some scholars accepted appointments, while others criticized them and refused such an association. Nonetheless, both scholar and layman require guidance on the correct measures to take in times of confusion. One may wonder, "When is it acceptable for a scholar to accept an appointment?" Or "When is it appropriate for a scholar to avoid politics altogether?" Others may ask, "Is there a middle ground between the two opinions?" Such questions require in-depth answers. Although this text is only an introduction to the subject, it provides clear guidance on what kinds of interactions with the rulers are blameworthy for scholars, and why.
