From the day he embraced Islam until the day he died, Abu Bakr As-Siddique (May Allah be pleased with him) was the ideal Muslim, surpassing all other Companions in every sphere of life. During the Prophet`s lifetime, Abu Bakr was an exemplary soldier on the battlefield; upon the Prophet`s death, Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) remained steadfast and, through the help of Allah, held this nation together. When others suggested keeping Usaamah`s army back, Abu Bakr insisted - and correctly so - that the army should continue the mission which the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) had in mind. When people refused to pay Zakaat, and when the apostates threatened the stability of the Muslim nation, Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) was the one who remained firm and took decisive action against them. These are just some of the examples of Abu Bakr`s many wonderful achievements throughout his life. I have endeavored to describe all of the above in a clear and organized manner. But more so than anything else, I have tried to show how Abu Bakr`s methodology as a Muslim and as a ruler helped establish the foundations of a strong, stable, and prosperous country - one that began in Al-Madeenah, extended throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and then reached far-off lands outside of Arabia. Throughout the brief period of his caliphate (about 2 years), Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him) faced both internal and external challenges; the former mainly involved quelling the apostate factions of Arabia and establishing justice and peace among the citizens of the Muslim nation; and the latter mainly involved expanding the borders of the Muslim nation by spreading the message of Islam to foreign nations and conquering those nations that stood in the way of the propagation of Islam. During the era of his caliphate, Khalifah Abu Bakr As Siddeeq (May Allah be pleased with him) sent out armies that achieved important conquests; for example, under the command of Khaalid ibn Al-Waleed (May Allah be pleased with him) the Muslim army gained an important victory in Iraq. And the Muslim army achieved other important victories under the commands of Al-Muthannah ibn Haarithah (May Allah be pleased with him) and Al-Qa`qaa ibn `Amr (May Allah be pleased with him). In short, the victories achieved during the era of Abu Bakr`s Caliphate paved the way for victories that later took place after Abu Bakr`s death. I have tried to analyze the above-mentioned conquests and to break down the reasons why they were such monumental successes. I particularly pointed out Abu Bakr`s contributions to those conquests: His military strategy, the leaders he chose, the letters through which he communicated with them, and so on. -

Cartography, a word from Greek origin, is the science and art of mapmaking and is an endeavor paramount in the intellectual development of human being. When the Muslims of 9th century Baghdad decided to preserve the totality of classical Greek science in Arabic, the new language of civilization, they discovered Ptolemy. His Geographia was a guide to mapmaking and enormously important for all Muslim mapmaking. Over the next five hundred years, Muslims increased their knowledge of geography and perfected their mapmaking skills, eventually producing maps of great complexity and beauty. Modern cartography has its origin in the many breakthroughs made by Muslim scientist, centuries ago. This book is not meant to be a history of maps, but a celebration of some of the achievement of Muslim master mapmaker. Insha’ Allah, readers of this book will be encouraged to view maps of all kinds with greater appreciation, knowing the great amount of labor and learning that have facilitated their production. -

This book will provide the insight into the limitless mercy of Allah (S.W.T) and inspire the reader to live his/her life according to the fitra’h created by the most beautiful Creator, Allah. ہم میں سے کون ہے جس نے گناہ نہ کیا ہو؟ ہم میں سے کون ہے جس نے تمام احکام با کمال پورے کیے ہوں؟ ہم سب ہی بحیثیتِ انسان گناہ گار اور خطا کار ہیں اور ہمیشہ اپنے رب کی رحمت اور مغفرت کے طلبگار ہیں۔ ہم میں سے بہتر وہی ہیں جو اپنی خامیوں، کمیوں اور غلطیوں کو پہچانتے ہوں اور اپنے رب کے آگے توبہ کر کے اُسکی رحمت کے طلبگار ہوں۔ یہ کتاب ایسی ہی لوگوں کی سچی کہانیوں کا مجموعہ ہے جو اپنے رب سے مایوس نہیں ہوئے اور اُسکے آگے اپنی غلطی کا اعتراف کر کے معافی کے طلبگار ہوئے۔ آیئے، ہم بھی ان سچے واقعات سے اپنی مغفرت کا سامان کریں۔ -
The day of Judgement in sure to come, but when it will be, it is a matter known to only Allah the Great. But the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has told us about some sings that indicate that the day is coming nearer and nearer. Such signs are of three types: the first type of signs have already come to pass, the second type of signs are those that appear gradually with the passage of time. The third type is of the signs that appears just very near too the Day- these are called the Greater Signs of the Day. In this book we have dealt with the first two types of the signs that are known to be the Smaller Signs of the Day. -
One of the wise people once said: `I am amazed at the one who feels grief over the loss of his wealth but yet he does not feel grief over the loss of his lifes pan (which occurs daily).` So strive hard in worship (of Allah), weep over your sins and flee from the punishment (in the Hereafter). The victorious one is he who directs his hopes toward that which is everlasting and cuts off his aspirations for that which is temporary. When Muhammad bin Sirin was about to die, he wept. It was said to him: `Why are you weeping?` He replied: `I am weeping due to my lapses in the days that have passed and the small number of deeds that I performed seeking the lofty Paradise. -
In this book, the author has widely described the main principle of Taqleed. He says that Allah and Prophet Mohammed (SAW) have not ordered us to follow any opinions and interpretations. So there`s a possibility of being correct or incorrect in the opinions because there are many issues on which the Imams had different views and they explain them according to their own reasons and speculations, but the real and true Islam is based on the book (Quran) and Prophet`s Sunnah. Allah says: `But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith until they make you judge in all disputed matters between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decision, and accept them with full submission.` And the prophet said: `I leave you with two things as long as you hold them tightly, you never go astray: they are the book of Allah and my Sunnah.` In this sense, the author has described the difference between different Madhahib (madhabs/mazhabs), and their views and urged to follow only the Quran and Sunnah. -

Every Prophet had a miracle which he showed to his people and challenged them with. Some of Prophets even had more than one sign as a definite proof that they were sent by Allah; challenging their nations to bring anything similar to it if they denied it. Every sign given to any of the prophets was exclusively meant for his people and when he died, his signs ceased to exist. However, one such miraculous sign shall remain, complete and preserved with the command of Allah, until the day of Resurrection. This miracle is the inimitable Qur’an, the everlasting Book of Allah given to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him). Anyone who lives after the death of this Prophet of Mercy will be able to see it, read it, and realize for themselves the truth that it contains. -
Water is the substance of life, the magic elixir without which life on this planet would be impossible. The Qur`an not only mentions that the creation of all living things began from water, it also talks about various phenomena related to water like the sending of rainfall, the layers of darkness and internal waves in the oceans, the different colors of the seas, cloud formation and the barrier between fresh water and saltwater. Professor Schroeder one of the greatest oceanographers in West Germany used to say, `When science progresses, religion must inevitably retreat`. But when he heard the translation of the meanings of the verses of the Qur`an he was stunned and said, `These cannot be the words of a human being.` Read this book i.e. Scientific Miracles in Oceans and Animals to find out about the astonishing scientific facts which came down to Arabs in the desert who did not know how to swim or sail in the seas and oceans or possess the sophisticated equipment to make such discoveries, discoveries that have left modern scientific researchers, oceanographers and experts speechless and in awe. -
Science has never been separate from Islam. Objective study of this subject will reveal that Islamic texts - Qur`an and the Sunnah, provided a tremendous boost for study of the physical world and the laws that govern it. As a result, discoveries and inventions became the hallmarks of the Islamic civilization. Recently there has been a surge in the number of publications dealing with science and its relationship with Islam. These books have focused on the various verses on the Qur`an that point to the physical world to prove that science is compatible with Islam. However, areas that are not covered enough for the English reader are the historical development of science and technology in the Muslim world, and the factors that led to its rise and decline. The decline has been so severe, that today`s Muslims are not even aware that their ancestors were the founding fathers of modern sciences. Just consider the common Arabic words used in the English language today like cotton, algebra, aorta, alcohol, chemistry, earth and alkaline. They are a living testimony to the pioneering work of the Muslims. I am proud to introduce this inspiring book to our readers. It focuses on the strides made by the Muslims in various disciplines of science and technology from the early period of the Islamic State to its last days in the 20th century CE. The unique aspect of this book is that it sheds light on the key factors that led to the rapid advances in science and technology. Furthermore, it also analyses the reasons why Muslim World declined in this field, and last but not least, how the Muslim World can achieve the same kind of success as we already have in the past. -
All praises to be Allah, who is Most Gracious and Most Merciful. Allah created everything in the form of pairs, like Allah created male and female, from a single drop. I bear witness that there is no God worthy of Worship except Allah, alone without partners in worship. (Beshak) Before the advent of Islam, women didn’t have any status in Arab society. The birth of the girl for example was considered to be unwelcome event. But the status of the women created by thy Islam is unique. They have proper rights in a society. They are not inferior to anyone. Islam gives respect and rights to women by introducing many relation, such as mother, daughter, sister and wife. In short, Islam gives comprehensive approach to the women. This book “Rulings pertaining to Muslim Women” written by Dr. Saleh Fauzan highlights the key aspects of women’s life. -

In our religion the highest ever to be respected and worshipped is Allah. After Him, we respect our Prophet (PBUH), more than anyone else. It is because Allah Has ordered us to respect the Messenger. Allah said to us that the Messenger (PBUH) was on an exalted standard of character. In the Holy Qur’an, it is narrated that Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH), Allah also ordered Ummah to send Darood O Salam (blessing) upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Prophet himself has said that no one will become a true believer unless the Prophet becomes dearer to him than anyone else.
