I thought it would be great if we could have a thread whereby we recommend books and articles, which are of interest to all of us, preferably religious texts and articles. If one recommends a book or an article, they should state the full details of the book and where it maybe found and the price if applicable. Also a short paragraph on the book or the article would be nice.

Wassalaam

Some sort of a book/article review. Good idea.

I have been thinking of a 'book exchange club' for the past few weeks.

This is how it would basically work: -

1. An Ask member would list down books he/she has and is willing to exchange with others (this may be a temporary, reversible exchange or permanent)

2. Other members would show interest if they want to read one of those books and in exchange give this member another book to read.

In this way we can all benefit as we can read books we dont have and not have to pay anything extra for it. It can become our own 'library'

What do you think?

willing to exchange with others

with users from different places will that be possible?

[qarrar]

You could call each other and read out the chapters from the books. How’s that for an idea?

Let’s put this idea on ice for now and get started with recommending books to read. After all Dar has the best Shia Islamic book store in the southern hemisphere so I am sure a member shouldn’t have much trouble in getting hold of the relevant texts.

On this same positive note let me recommend the most important text of all.

" We have sent down to thee the book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims," (Sura An-Nahl, No. 16, verse 89).

Name: The Holy Quran

The Holy Qur'an the ' text-book ' of Islam. All the doctrines, principals, laws, commandments and prohibitions of Islam are enshrined in it. It was through the Qur'an and Muhammad Mustafa (p.b.u.h.) that the message of Allah (s.w.t.) to mankind was completed, and through the inspired commentary of Ahlul-Bait, religion was perfected.

[Muntazir]

Bismillahi Ar-Rahmani, Ar-Rahim.
(I begin by the name of the Almighty, the most Munificent, and the most Compassionate)

As-Salaamun Alaikum.

I highly recommend everyone to read the book called "The Hereafter" (Ma'ad) It's too beautiful! Once you start reading it, you would actually wish for its never ending.

Another book is by Imam Khomeni: The 40 Hadiths, and Adab us Salat

You can find these books at the Tabligh Book Store opposite the Masjid.

Allah Hafeez
