On the authority of Numan bin Bashir, the Messenger of
Allah (SAWS) said: "The example of the believers in
their mutual love, compassion and mercy is like a
single body. If there is a pain in any part of the
body, the whole body feels it." [Bukhari, Muslim]
One of the greatest failures of the Muslims in the ideological war between Islam and Kufr is to their failure to read and be informed about the affairs of the Muslims in the eyes of the non-Muslims. Muslims rely on knowledge about current affairs concerning Muslims from Muslim-sources alone, thus being blinded to what the non-Muslims are writing and saying about the Muslims.
In this new section which will be updated from time to time, we will be listing details of books available on the market, which are strongly recommended for Muslims to read. Whether you are a Muslim journalist, caller to Islam, lecturer, Imam, university student or just someone interested, we strongly recommend you to read these books and find out what the non-Muslims are saying about the state of the Muslims and what means and methods they use to plot and plan against Islam.
It is also highly recommended for mosques, Islamic centres and university and college Islamic societies
to obtain a set of these books for their libraries.
Naturally, Muslims should exercise discretion in what information they accept and what they reject from each of the books below. Our comments on each book are given.
Some of the books are by Muslims and some are by non-Muslims. Some are favourable towards Islam, others are against it.
All of the books are available through major bookshops, both
offline and online, such as www.amazon.com.
www.amazon.co.uk, www.whsmith.co.uk
and others around the World. They ship locally and overseas and you and can
order and purchase online using a credit card.
