The Relief From Distress

Description: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah sanctify his soul, was asked about the saying of the Prophet (pbuh),

The invocation of my brother Yunus, “none has the right to be worshipped save You; glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers,” none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah would relieve him of his difficulty.



  • What is the meaning of this du’a (prayer, supplication)?




  • Are their any unstated conditions that have to be met when one articulates it?




  • What is the connection between belief in the heart and the meaning of this supplication such that it leads to the removal of difficulty?




  • Why did he explicitly confess, ‘I have been amongst the wrong-doers’ when it is known that tawhid in itself leads to the removal of difficulty?




  • Is it sufficient to acknowledge ones’ sin alone, or must this be accompanied by repentance and the firm resolve not to repeat that sin in the future?




  • Why is it that difficulty and harm is removed only when a person relinquishes any hope, reliance and dependency upon the creation?




  • How can the heart relinquish the characteristic of putting hope in the creation and depending on them, and instead put its hope in Allah, Exalted is He, and turn to Him in its entirety?




  • What are the methods that would aid the heart in doing this?

    The author replies to these questions in the form of this book.



  • The Ideal Muslimah

    Author: Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi

    Description:
    At a time when Muslim and Non-Muslim women are being harshly attached and attracted by the "feminist theories and studies" this book is a good approach and a reminder that Islam has held women as highly esteemed and respected. It is enough that the Holy Qur'an contains a full chapter on women. The sources of Islam i.e. the Holy Qur'an and the Prophetic Traditions have always spoken of the women's rights and made them full partners in the human venture of history more than any other religion or thought.

    Women in Islam are; mothers, sisters, partners, workers, scholars and business owners and managers. etc.

    Though this book outlines the ideal Muslimah personality as it should be according to the Qur'an and Sunnah Husbands, sons and daughters will also draw very much benefit from it.

    A true Muslimah is the one who is alert, knowledgeable, true to herself as well as to others. She is righteous, and faithful. She balances her obligations to Allah (SWT), her parents and children. She does not excel in one thing and neglect the other. She is a Qur'anic example to follow-, she is a woman whose examples to follow are the she-companions of the Messenger (PBUH). Her ideals are the wives of the Messenger (PBUH).

    The reader will find all this and much more in this book, which Dr. Hashmi wrote in a Arabic and was also broadcast on Riyadh Radio.

    This is his second book I.I.P.H translated into English. We hope the readers will find it really informative and comprehensive and pray Allah (SWT) for the best reward for them and ourselves. May the peace and blessing of Allah (SWT) be upon Muhammad (PBUH) his household and all his companions.

    The Protection Of Women’s Rights Under The Shari’ah


    Author: Ibrahim Ahmad Aliyu

    This book is a product of path breaking research into the protection of the rights of women under the Shariah. The status and the rights of women have been made to be sensitive and controversial issues in the modern time, which however constitutes no problem in Islam, because under its principles, women are as important as men, and they are not inferior to men nor are they of the lower species. It has never been a matter of dispute as to whether or not a man and a woman are equal as human beings. And as to whether their rights should or should not be equal in value of each other, because there are issues that have vivid clarification both in the noble Quran and the traditions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

    The author has extracted the characteristics of the Prophet pbuh as a leader and an influential person - making this book different from other leadership books where a leader is usually judged by the leadership quality they presents.
    All leaders out there, this is a must have.
