Ashrafs Tranquil Eye

Hippocrates (Buqrat), the Greek Philosopher was asked, ”Amongst illnessess which is the most severe and lethal?” He replied, ”The illness which you consider insignificant.”

Viewing of immoral objects (bad nazari) has become so widespread in Muslim homes and society that in most cases it is no longer considered an ailment or impermissible (haram). In this regard, lewdness upon TV and New Media, at places of study, work, shopping, advertising and upon mobile mediums has brought unimaginable problems.

We now have a generation of disoriented live-for-now Muslims who appear in slumber; transfixed into a constant state of adolescence; drifting aimlessly from one fad, gizmo, video game to another; constantly underperforming and idle. They appear to have no Deeni inclination or true ambition to excel in life in any avenue and whom we are about to lose.

This brief book, a series of lectures and aphorisms by renown Contemporary Scholars is a humble attempt to highlight:

Addiction to Video Games
Misuse of Internet & Harms of Social Networking Forums
Three Important Tasks for Home Reformation
Protecting Gaze & Chastity
Remedy for Fantasising & Day-Dreaming
Harms & Cure for Evil Gazing & Illicit Relationships
Eyes Are A Glorious Gift
Poisonous Effects of Immoral Gazing
Tranquil Eye & Tranquil Company

Women Around The Messenger - darul-ishaat.co.uk

This is the ‘women’s lib’ age as the WEST prefers to term it. But is it TRUE? Is it not a lip-service age turning women practically to ‘dolls’ or something like dolls in the real life?

Women entering the fold of Islam played an enviable prominent role, side by side their counterparts, men, in shaping and developing the Muslim society as a model from the onset, emancipating humanity, men and women, from the shackles of deep-footed ignorance. Women in Islam have very special place, status and dignity unknown to mankind before or after.

The life sketches of the early female believers, in this book, stand as beacon and outstanding models for the so-called ‘weaker sex’ and call for the revival of the pristine lofty high position of women in the society once again.

This work is an attempt at dispelling any misconception by bringing into focus biographies of the first generation of Muslim women and the important role they played in the overall development of their society, right from the beginning. It is hoped that this book will not only strengthen the resolve of the already well-acquainted Muslims who follow the footsteps of their predecessors, it will also spur them into emulating the examples of those righteous, noble and pure women

Islamic Banking And Finance - Darul Ishaat UK

Islamic Banking And Finance – What It Is and What It Could Be

This text has been designed for use by professionals new to the field of Islamic banking and finance, and by students at undergraduate level or above. It covers the historical, theological, commercial, legal, institutional and macro-economic factors affecting the modern world of Islamic banking and finance and is organised into four main sections: Islam and the Shari’ah, Traditional Contract Forms, Contemporary Practices, and A Response to Capitalism. Views both for and against the current direction of the Islamic banking and finance industry are presented and a number of reforms are suggested at the institutional and contractual levels. Traditional and contemporary interpretations of Islam are contrasted, along with differences of opinion among the various schools of thought, so that the reader can better understand current discourse among scholars of Shari`ah. In a section devoted entirely to the modern application of Islamic contract law, fourteen case studies provide a detailed analysis of the extent to which modern Islamic financial products adhere to the legal principles outlined elsewhere in the book. Particular attention has been paid to clarity of expression in order that complex concepts can be absorbed quickly. To aid the learning process, an extensive index and table of contents allows ease of reference, and suggestions for further advanced reading are provided at the end of each section.

The Fiqh of Dawah - A Commentary of 40 Hadiths - Darul Ishaat UK

The Fiqh of Da‘wah attempts to explain this duty in a detailed and thorough way. It is based on a comprehensive collection of forty hadiths pertaining to the preaching methods of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) as well as his teachings regarding Da‘wah to Allah. The commentary then elaborates upon the hadiths, carefully outlining the virtue, principles, conditions, and etiquette of this lofty duty. Furthermore, the work documents a number of practical examples from the lives of the pious predecessors and from those more recent, showing how they were prepared to make Da‘wah even in the most inhospitable of circumstances. This work should prove an indispensable guide for anyone who wishes to seriously understand and practice this forgotten obligation in the twenty-first century.

There are few who will disagree that the duty of Da‘wah, or calling, to Islam has been severely neglected in our times when the need for it is more pronounced than ever. It is either not undertaken altogether, or if it is performed, then it is undertaken without the knowledge of the etiquette, preconditions, and general teachings that the sacred sources of Islam have provided for it. Therefore, the Da‘wah is many times bereft of the results and blessings that could be attained.

How did Islamic law develop?
What Are the Foundations of Islamic Jurisprudence?
What is the relationship between Shari’a and Tariqa?
What is Taqlid and does it still hold relevant in our time?
Which sciences must be mastered before one can interpret the Quran and hadith?

Shari’a & Tariqa is an essential book for anyone wishing to understand the foundations and application of Islamic law, and the relationshio that purification of the heart has with traditional Islamic jurisprudence. The esteemed author, in this, his last and final work, draws evidence from the Quran, Sunna, pious predecessors, past and recent scholars, history, and rationale to clarify the confusion many have when searching for a true scholar of Islam.

”Then the slave reads takbir and draws near and falls down in prostration. Each limb of his body participates in the devotion inherent in Sajdah. Thus, he places his forehead on the ground before his Lord, rubbing his nose before Him, surrendering his heart, and presenting his body’s noblest features i.e. his face on the ground.”
