<p>History Stands as the utmost effective and valuable source of putting nations on the course of progress and prosperity and saving them from the path of dishonour and degradation. At a time, when there is tough rivalry among the nations of the world to excel one another, the Muslims, despite having the most celebrated history, appear to be detached and careless as regards to their history. This book offers the true Islamic events and their actual causes before the English readers because the other books in the English language found on the Islamic history have been written by such authors and compilers who did no justice in presenting the true picture of Islamic Era but their prejudice prevented them from doing so.</p> <p><br> At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <strong><em>books</em></strong> both in store and online.

<p>In this book, the stories of the prophets has been collected from 'Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah' (The Beginning and the End) which is a great work of the famous Muslim exegete and historian Ibn Kathir and has a prominent place in the Islamic literature. The stories of the prophets and all the events in their lives have been reinforced by the Qur'anic Verses and the Sunnah of the Prophet (Saw). Wherever it was necessary, other sources have also been reported for the sake of historical accounts, but on such places a comparative study has been completed to prove the authenticity of the sources. Ibn Kathir has reproduced the views and interpretations of all the great exegetes of the Quran of his time. The systemic narratives of the Stories of the Prophets have been written in sequential order which renders a historical style to the book.</p> <p>Allah the Most Exalted says in the Qur'an:</p> <ul> <li>"We are relating unto you the most beautiful of stories in that what We have revealed to you from the Qur'an, though before it you were from among those who were not aware of them." (12:3)</li> <li>"We have indeed sent aforetime Messengers before you, of them there are some whose stories We have related to you, and whose stories We have not related to you..." (40:78)</li> <li>"We relate to you the important news of their story in truth..." (18:13)</li> <li>"And all that We relate to you of these stories of the Messengers, We strengthen with them your heart. Through them there come to you the truth as well as admonition and reminder to all those who believe." (11:120)</li> <li>"There is, indeed, in their stories lessons for people endowed with understanding. It is not any invented tale, but a confirmation of what went before it, and a detailed exposition of all things, and a guide and a mercy to the people who believe." (12:111)</li> <li>"...so relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect."

<p><strong>This ninth century book brings out the valiant victory of the Muslim army over Syria, which at hat time included present day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and parts of Iraq and Turkey, under the military commandership of such legendary Muslim generals as Khalid ibn Al Walid and Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, during the reign of the Caliph Abu Bakr." (The Muslim World Book Review)<br> <br> This is the first complete English translation of Futuhusham, the ninth century Arabic classic describing the Muslim advance into Syria when a small band of faithful Muslims overthrew the superpower of the time.

<p>This small book of Ibn Taymiyya (661/1263-728/1328), the very influential medieval Hanbali jurist, has an importance belied by its size since it is, in fact, an investigation into the origin and nature of the Prophetic Sunnah. In it he debates the value of the consensus of the people of Madina and its standing as evidence. He also deals with the lawful and unlawful, food and drink, usury, acts of worship and other subjects, and compares the school of the people of Madina regarding all these things with the other schools, making it clear that the Madinan school is the soundest of all of them and the closest to the Sunnah and the practice of the Salaf.<br> <br> Although usually linked with hadith-based legal reasoning, in this work Ibn Taymiyya demonstrates the undisputable authority of the practice of the people of Madina, showing how it continued indisputably the authentic expression of the Sunnah of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, during the first three generations of Islam when it was definitively recorded by Imam Malik ibn Anas. The conclusion he reaches is that: "In the time of the Companions, the Followers and their Followers, their school was the soundest of the schools of the people in all the lands of Islam, east and west, both in respect of its fundamental principles and its secondary rulings."</p> <p>At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <strong><em>books</em></strong> both in store and online.

<p>Strong Muslims are skilled of malting a choice of personality to mimic and remain steadfast on it, while the feeble and ignorant are prone to get mislead. So, more than ever, it is incumbent upon us to talk to our youth, and even we adults should reflect on the greatness of our great Muslim heroes from our Islamic past, who built the most magnificent and powerful civilization of all, who took a crass society of measly people and gave them Islam that dramatically enhanced their lives. Darussalam is presenting this book to our youth hoping that they will find in it great examples, persons and models to follow and develop their own personalities accordingly.</p> <p>At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <strong><em>books</em></strong> both in store and online.

<p data-mce-fragment="1">Muslim Civilization has experienced an global decline during the last five centuries after having undergone a long period of prosperity and comprehensive expansion. This raises a number of questions such as what factors allowed Muslims to become successful during the earlier centuries and what led them to their present weak position. Is it Islam which is responsible for this decline or are there some other aspects which come into play. Dr Chapra in this penetrating study has tried to answer these questions thoroughly and has then discussed a reform programme that could help reverse the cycle of decline.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"> At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <strong data-mce-fragment="1"><em data-mce-fragment="1">books</em></strong> both in store and online.

<p>This is the fourth volume from this series, which deals with the life of the Rightly-Guided Caliph,<span> </span><strong>Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib</strong><span> </span>(علي بن أبي طالب). He was the first male to accept Islam at a young age of approximately 9 years. He was the Prophet's cousin, the son of Abu Talib, the Prophet's supportive and loving uncle who protected him during the worst trials of his early Prophethood.</p> <p>Ali's devotion to the Prophet is best evidenced during the Hijrah (migration) when he acted as the Prophet's decoy in Makkah while the Prophet left under the cover of night and migrated to Madinah, accompanied by Abu Bakr.</p> <p>At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <em><strong>books</strong></em> both in store and online.

<p>This book is planned as a journey back in time, to a very distinct period in world history: from the eighth century to the fifteenth century in Andalusia (Spain); where an Islamic society shone, and a cultural and intellectual revolution established. Where there was no separation between rigorous scientific methodology, wisdom and faith. Nor was the East disconnected from the West; nor a Muslim from a Jew or Christian. It was there that the European Renaissance actually began, and from where it advanced.</p> <p><br> At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <strong><em>books</em></strong> both in store and online.

<span data-mce-fragment="1">History of Islam - Umar Ibn al Khattab Rightly-Guided Caliphs This is the second volume from this series, which deals with the life of Umar ibn al-Khattab (عمر ابن الخطاب), the second of the Four Rightly-Guided Cali</span>

<p>We are living in a period when western civilization is at its peak and the Muslim nations are at their weakest point, dazzled by the power of the west with its wealth, means and scientific and technological advantages. Muslims who do not read history, may well be unaware of the fact that this is not always been the case. A couple hundred years ago, it was just the opposite. The Muslim nation was the superpower of the age and the Muslims were the leaders in culture, science, and technology. The cites of the Muslim world were hubs of learning to which people came from far and wide, including - as in the case of Muslims Spain - and the lands of Christian Europe. The Muslims, at one point, were the most technologically advanced civilization on earth, and the uniqueness of their civilization lies in the fact that although they achieved a great deal in materialistic terms, they remained a compassionate society where the poor and disadvantaged were cared for. This book is a reminder to Muslims that they have a magnificent past and that for many centuries they had the upper hand over their adversaries. They became masters of the world at the time when they adhered to Islam; when they became preoccupied with worldly gain and the pursuit of luxury, then decline set in. If the Muslims follow Islam and take their religion faithfully; they will, once again, be supported by the Will of ALLAH and will again be able to lead the world in all spheres of life.</p> <p><br> At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <strong><em>books</em></strong> both in store and online.

Darussalam presents the entire History of Islam to our youth in language that appeals to them, in a simple yet lucid manner.

<p>The literal meaning of al-fath is the antonym of closure (i.e., opening), but what is meant by it here is the conquest of lands at war with the Muslims and the entry into the lands of the adversary. The plural is futooh. The word fath can also mean conquest and victory.</p> <p>The understanding of al-futooh is not restricted to military victory. It goes beyond to include all aspects of life, whether military, ethical or moral, which combined, caused the people, in the lands that were conquered, to embrace Islam willingly and by conviction, triumphing the creed of Tawheed), as opposed to shirk  that was common in those lands.</p> <p>The word futooh, with this general understanding, means the jihad (strive) which the Muslims undertook, the conquest of the lands, paving the way for the call to Allah and conveying the Religion of Islam to the world, and annihilating the iniquitous powers of evil that forbade the Muslims and the people in those different lands (from following Islam).</p> <p>It also comprises the military events and the accompanying dawah, beginning from the era of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and becoming more prominent in its own sense during the era of the Caliphate Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq and continued through the eras of the righteous Caliphs who succeeded him, and the other different Islamic eras that came after them, such as the Umayyads, the Abbasids, the Ayyubids, the Mameluks, the Ottomans and other Islamic states that followed them or were coexistent with them. It is also fitting to include significant defensive operations in the events of the conquests whose aim was to repel enemies and protect previous conquests.</p> <p>This book authentically describes all the significant events in these eras concisely.</p> <p><br> At Al Aqsa Bookshop we have a large collection of Islamic <strong><em>books</em></strong> both in store and online.
