33 Lessons for Every Muslim
Author: Abdulaziz Bin Baz | Pages: 76 | Size: 1 MB
Preface, 'I had the opportunity to read the book titled “The Most
Important Lessons For Every Muslim” written by Sheikh Abdulaziz Bin Baz
(May Allah have mercy on him), which I think, is a highly beneficial
book to all Muslims. It gives basic requirements for the foundation of
their Aqeedah (creed) and ‘Ibadah (worship). It struck me that this
small but informative book would be of immense benefit for non-Arabic
speaking Muslims, spread all over the world, if translated into another
foreign language. While translating this book, it dawned on me that the
Sheikh has written this book, primarily for Arab speaking Muslims and
thus has written most of the information very briefly. But this may not
be sufficient for non-Arab Muslims, whose knowledge of Islam is mixed
with their local cultures and practices, resulting in deviations from
pure Islamic monotheism.

Program of Studies For New Muslims
Author: Mohammed Moinuddin Siddiqui | Pages: 75 | Size: 1 MB
Introduction to Program, 'In 1974, the Planning Committee of the Muslim
Students' ssociation of the U. S. and Canada sparked the idea of
designing a comprehensive curriculum for American Muslims who have
recently embraced Islam. Such curriculum is greatly needed by a large
population of Muslims in North America to help them understand Islam as a
complete way of life, practice it and live up to its ideals. To satisfy
this need, the task of producing the curriculum and its supportive
material was entrusted to the Department of Education, Publication and
Information. Through the efforts of that Department and the Islamic
Teaching Center, Dr. Mohammad Moinuddin Siddiqui undertook to work out" A
Program of Studies for New Muslims." His deep commitment to Islam and
conviction of the significance of education as a crucial vehicle for
social change prompted him to devote his time and finish the first stage
of this tremendous and challenging work. The second stage is the
writing of text books which are specifically tailored to the sequential
level series of this
program of studies.

Discover Islam
Author: Al Jumuah | Pages: 101 | Size: 1 MB
Foreword, 'There is hardly any place on earth today where Islam is
totally unknown. More and more people have become curious enough to find
out something about this much publicized religion; more often than
not, they have been pleasantly surprised. Islam is the religion and way
of life of about one fifth of the world's population. Muslims are of
diverse nationalities, cultures and races, but their religion teaches
that all humanity is essentially equal. Islam is generally misunderstood
and misrepresented in contemporary Western societies; therefore, it is
hoped that this booklet will help shed light on Islam and dispel many of
the prevailing misconceptions.
With this objective in mind, al-Jumuah Magazine presents a brief
overview of Islam, followed by answers to some of the most commonly
asked questions by non-Muslims

Why Do We Pray?
By Dr. Suhaib Hasan. ".. Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents from
Al-Fahsha (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse,
etc.) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil
wicked deed, etc.) .. (29:45)

Before You Pray
By Anas Al-Gawz. Salat is the first obligation upon a Muslim after his
declaration of Allah's Oneness and Muhammad's Prophethood. Salat is the
contentment of the heart of a Muslim and the eminence of a Believer.
Salat is much more emphasized in Quran than any other act. This is a
small book on Salat, which has a specific mention in relation with the
matters before the Salat, is very useful and effective. The original
book is in Arabic and is written by Captain Pilot Anas bin Abdul-Hameed
Al-Gawh. The English translation of this book has been made by Mr. Abdul
Karim Shah.

What Every Muslim Must Know about Purification
Author: Abdul Karim Al-Sheha | Pages: 103 | Size: 1 MB
Extract from book, 'Purity (Tahârah) is a beautiful word that is
pleasing to the ears, and it is a quality which everyone strives to
maintain. From an Islamic perspective, purity is a word which is general
in its mean-ing. It may mean physical cleanness, which is purity (of
the body) from impure substances or states of impurity, or it may mean
spiritual purity, which is the purity of one’s self from vices, faults,
sins, and replacing them with good deeds, whether in speech or deeds.'

Conditions And Pillars Of The Prayer
Author: Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab | Pages: 14 | Size: 1 MB
This is a translation of the beneficial treatise of Imaam Muhammadbin
‘Abdil-Wahhaab, “Shuroot as-Salaat wa Arkaanuhaa wa Waajibaatuhaa.” In
this short treatise, Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab, may Allaah have
mercy on him, briefly outlines the nine conditions for the acceptance of
one ’s prayer, as well as the fourteen pillars and eight requirements
of the prayer, mentioning some of their proofs and evidences from the
Book and the Sunnah. A condition is something that is required before
the commencement of prayer in order for it to be valid. “The pillars are
that which if one fails to perform any of them out of forgetfulness or
intentionally, his prayer is rendered invalid because of his abandoning
it. The requirements are that which if one fails to perform any of them
intentionally, his prayer is rendered invalid due to his abandoning it,
but if he leaves any of them due to forgetfulness, he is obligated to
perform the (extra) prostrations for forgetfulness.” The author also
lists the conditions, obligations, requirements and nullifiers of wudoo
(ablution). The translator has provided a quick reference guide as an
appendix listing each of these points, as well as footnotes with hadeeth
references and other comments gathered from several sources of this
treatise.
