The Mystery of the Crucifixion
This book has been replaced by a new book
A critical examination of the narrative of the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament, Christian writings, and early historical sources. The consistent and more credible alternative scenario of the Qur’an is explained.

Tawhid According to Sufis
A translation and commentary on beautiful and profound Sufi sayings on various aspects of tawhid. These words stress that Allah is beyond human cognition and perception. Sufis stress that true glorification of Allah requires acknowledging this limitation and accepting divine self-disclosure without excessive rationalisation.
Fifteen Letters (Khamsata ‘Ashara Maktuban)
This book consists of fifteen letters by Shaikh ‘Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani. Articulated in a sublime mystical language, the letters describe spiritual experiences that are attained through striving against one’s base desires and committed devotion to Allah. They are written in a peculiar style whereby each sentence or group of sentences is followed by a related Qur’anic text, which is often a part of a verse.
Jihad in the Qur’an
Focusing on the meaning of jihad in the Qur’an, this study explains that jihad is the person’s ongoing struggle against all manifestations of evil, starting with the evil drives within one’s self.
