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.
The Prophet Joseph in the Qur’an, the Bible, and History
This in-depth study offers new insights into the chapter of Joseph in the Qur’an. This new analysis of the Qur’anic narrative is informative, enlightening, and thought-provoking.
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.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
This study shows that the belief in Jesus’ crucifixion is a matter of faith, not historical evidence. The book explains the serious issues in the Gospel narratives and compares them with the Qur’an’s assertion that Jesus was not crucified.
The Names of the Qur’anic Chapters
This book focuses on studying the names of the chapters of the Qur’an. It explains where each chapter name has come from and tries to identify naming patterns.
