Download or read book Prayer of the Prophet Summary Edition written by M. Mushfiqur Rahman and published by Fitrah Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perform ṣalāh just like the Prophet (s) did, based on an unbiased and comprehensive reading of all available authentic hadiths from the six most authentic books. This is the Summary Edition of the two-book set that describes the performance of the ṣalāh based on the Prophetic example as recorded in the six most authentic books of ḥadīth. It is perhaps the first attempt in the English language that collects all the authentic ḥadīths on each aspect of the performance of the ṣalāh—be that a physical movement or what is recited in it—then groups them together, allowing the reader to see the exact practice of the Prophet (s). Each aspect was dealt with in a thorough manner without any preconceived opinion so that the reader is satisfied that the conclusion arrived on a given topic is what becomes naturally evident from the comprehensive evidence that is presented. Additionally, having all the ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīths in front of him/her helps the reader to see which actions in the ṣalāh may be done in one most authentic way, which ones in multiple ways, and when there are choices, which option was more commonly practiced by the Prophet (s). The main book is intended for serious students who seek in-depth evidence for each topic while this Summary Edition is designed for those who only want to know the final conclusions with minimal supporting evidence.

Download or read book An Authenticated Summary of the Prophet s Prayer written by Hafiz Zubayr Ali Zai and published by Takhrij al-Hadith Publications. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from the Introduction of the Translator - An Authenticated Summary of the Prophet’s Prayer ﷺ: The Prayer is the first matter about which the slaves of Allāh will be asked on the Day of Resurrection. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The first matter about which the slave will be called to account [on the Day of Resurrection] is the prayer.” - an-Nasā'ī [468], with a Ṣaḥīḥ Isnād according to Hafiz Zubair 'Ali Zai [raḥimahullāh]. Therefore it is a matter of utmost importance that a Muslim takes care to pray his obligatory prayers conscientiously and completely. And the completeness of the prayer is not only that he prays it in its prescribed time, but also that he adopts the procedure taught by the Prophet ﷺ. It is precisely for this extremely important purpose that this translation of the book of the Ḥadīth scholar Hafiz Zubair 'Ali Zai [raḥimahullāh] into the English language, serves: مختصر صحيح نماز نبوي - An Authenticated Summary of the Prophet’s Prayer ﷺ. One of the many features that motivated the translation of this book for English readers is the extensive Takhrīj [referencing] and Taḥqīq [verification] of the Aḥadīth and Āthār [narrations] used for the individual points. This, among other things, makes it possible for students of Islām of any level to benefit from this book. Someone who is just beginning to learn prayer and needs guidance based on authentic narrations that is neither too crude nor too overwhelming, will be able to derive as much benefit from this book as an advanced student who wants to deal with the Fawā`id [benefits] regarding the Isnād [chain] of the narrations, Āthār and points of Fiqh [jurisprudence] that the author addresses. In order to make a variety of the Fawā`id accessible to as many Muslims as possible, many of the words used in the Ḥadīth-terminology have been summarised in English by the translator. Furthermore, additional Fawā`id have been mentioned in some places. [...] Hafiz Zubair 'Ali Zai has added two chapters in this book, in addition to the chapters of Wuḍū` and a step-by-step guide to prayer: some authentically narrated Adhkār after Prayer and a guide with regards to how the Janāzah prayer is to be prayed. All the Du'ā's [supplications] in this book have been rendered both in their Arabic form and in English. As an additional benefit, an appendix has been added in which the transliterations of some selected supplications have been compiled by the translator, as a benefit for those who are still learning Arabic or who cannot yet read Arabic correctly. May Allāh have mercy on Hafiz Zubair 'Ali Zai and may He accept this humble effort from the translator. Āmīn. 'Imrān Ḥussain Jumada Al-Awwal 1443/ December 2021

Download or read book The Prodigal Prophet written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An angry prophet. A feared and loathsome enemy. A devastating storm. And the surprising message of a merciful God to his people. The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood. Many people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with Jonah: A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale. But there's much more to Jonah's story than most of us realize. In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible. And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the prodigal son, and Jesus. Jesus in fact saw himself in Jonah. How could one of the most defiant and disobedient prophets in the Bible be compared to Jesus? Jonah's journey also doesn't end when he is freed from the belly of the fish. There is an entire second half to his story--but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible. Why does the book of Jonah end on what is essentially a cliffhanger? In these pages, Timothy Keller provides an answer to the extraordinary conclusion of this biblical parable--and shares the powerful Christian message at the heart of Jonah's story.

Download or read book The Book of the Secrets of Prayer and its Requirements written by Imam Al-Ghazali and published by Islam Digital. This book was released on with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the importance of prayer and its requirements. It describes what is essential for the disciple in terms of the external acts and its inner secrets of prayer, and revealing its refined hidden meanings in terms of humility, sincerity and intention. Presented to the English speaking public is a translation of two chapters of Ghazal's great work, Ihya .ulum al-din. The chapter is entitled kitabasrar al-salah (the book of the secrets of prayer and its requirements). This translation was originally carried out by E E Caverley which I have edited in places to give the reader a clearer understanding of the text and correcting the Quranic references. I have also included in the book the prophetic narrations in the original Arabic to give the reader of Arabic a fuller flavour of the intended meaning. The two chapters selected are entitled "fefadail al-salahwa al-sajudwa-aljama.hwa al-azaanwaibarihaï" (virtue of the prayer, prostration, congregation, call to prayer and its precepts). And the third chapter from the book entitled fee shuruut al-batinah min a.amaal al-qalb. (Inward stipulations for the acts of the heart) The first chapter generally focuses on the pre-eminent status of prayer and its superiority over all other forms of worship in Islam. Instilling in the one who is about to initiate the prayer the enormity and seriousness of the action. The second chapter in the book focuses on the mind-set of the one who is engaged in prayer, humility being a fundamental pillar in this regard. Imam Ghazali also offers practical remedies to attain this status of humility and describes the base nature of heedlessness before one's Creator. I hope this book acts as a means of proximity since nothing can facilitate this noble goal to reach one's Lord but the Prayer. But prostate in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah) Surah Alaq.19

Download or read book Muhammad LP written by Deepak Chopra and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this riveting novel, beloved international bestselling author Deepak Chopra captures the spellbinding life story of the great and often misunderstood Prophet. Islam was born in a cradle of tribal turmoil, and the arrival of one God who vanquished hundreds of ancient Arabian gods changed the world forever. God reached down into the life of Muhammad, a settled husband and father, and spoke through him. Muhammad's divine and dangerous task was to convince his people to renounce their ancestral idols and superstitious veneration of multiple gods. From the first encounter, God did not leave Muhammad alone, his life was no longer his own, and with each revelation the creation of a new way of life formed and a religion was born. Muhammad didn't see himself as the son of God or as one who achieved cosmic enlightenment. His relatives and neighbors didn't part the way when he walked down the parched dirt streets of Mecca. There was no mark of divinity. Orphaned by age six, Muhammad grew up surrounded by dozens of cousins and extended family to become a trusted merchant. Muhammad saw himself as an ordinary man and that is why what happened to him is so extraordinary. Rooted in historical detail, Muhammad brings the Prophet to life through the eyes of those around him. A Christian hermit mystic foretells a special destiny, a pugnacious Bedouin wet nurse raises him in the desert, and a religious rebel in Mecca secretly takes the young orphan under his spiritual wing. Each voice, each chapter brings Muhammad and the creation of Islam into a new light. The angel Gabriel demands Muhammad to recite, the first convert risks his life to protect his newfound faith, and Muhammad's life is not a myth but an incredible true and surprisingly unknown story of a man and a moment that sparked a worldwide transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not possible for us to perform the Salah (Prayer) as it should be performed unless we know the detailed description of the Prayers as shown by Prophet Muhammad (SAW), such as its essentials, manners, forms, supplications, and remembrances. However, detailed familiarity with these aspects of the Prayer is difficult to be achieved by most people nowadays because of their limiting themselves to a particular madhhab (school of thought). In every madhhab, there are traditions and sunnahs (Prophetic examples which are not found in other madhhabs and in every madhhab there are sayings and actions which cannot be authentically traced back to the Many books have been published on the Salah (Prayer) of the Prophet but most are by later scholars that cater for a particular madhhab (school of thought).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barakatud Du'a or The Blessings of Prayer, written by the Promised Messiah in 1893, is a refutation of Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan's view that there is no such thing as the acceptance of prayer, and that prayer is no more than a form of worship. The Promised Messiah rejects this view and proclaims that Allah hears and accepts the supplication of believers which are offered in humility and sincerity, and that the acceptance of prayer sets in motion its own chain of causes which culminates in the fulfilment of the objective prayed for. In the second part of the book, which deals with Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan's other book Usulut Tafsir (On the Principles of Commentary of the Holy Quran), the Promised Messiah presents his criteria or guiding principles for the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran.

Download or read book A Praying Life written by Paul E. Miller and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017-04-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 300,000 copies sold "This book will be like having the breath of God at your back. Let it lift you to new hope." --Dan B. Allender, PhD, author of Bold Love This new edition includes an expanded chapter on using the practical "prayer cards"--a hallmark of the teaching found in A Praying Life--and a chapter on the need and use of prayers of lament. Prayer is so hard that unless circumstances demand it--an illness, or saying grace at a meal--most of us simply do not pray. We prize accomplishments and productivity over time in prayer. Even Christians experience this prayerlessness--a kind of practical unbelief that leaves us marked by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual lethargy. Prayer is all about relationship. Based on the popular seminar by the same name, A Praying Life has discipled thousands of Christians to a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power. When Jesus describes the intimacy He seeks with us, He talks about joining us for dinner (Revelation 3:20). A Praying Life feels like having dinner with good friends. It is the way we experience and connect to God. In A Praying Life, author Paul Miller lays out a pattern for living in relationship with God and includes helpful habits and approaches to prayer that enable us to return to a childlike faith.

Download or read book La Ilaha Illa Allah written by Imam Karim AbuZaid and published by Karim Abu Zaid . This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I wrote the first edition of this book, "Worship Your Lord," which is the second book of the Right Belief Series, I indented to connect Volume I "Know Your Lord" with Volume II "Worship Your Lord." I am simply saying the correct knowledge of Allah (s.w.t) must lead to worshipping Him. I also intend for the content to help the readers familiarize themselves with the different categories of Monotheism (Tawheed). I intend to simplify the subject of Monotheism (Tawheed), which can help advance the Call of Monotheism (Tawheed), especially for Muslims living in the West. Furthermore, this book will acquaint Muslims with the methodology of understanding of the faithful adherents (Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama'ah) to the Quran and the Prophetic Tradition (Sunnah). Until recently, something shocking happened. A Layman Muslim asked Yasir Qadhi the following question: “What is the ruling on invoking the engraved saints (Awlyia)?” Yasir Qadhi answered him publicly, saying, “…The second opinion is the opinion that invoking the saints (Awliya)… it is Haram (Unlawful), and it is evil, and evil innovation, a religions innovation, a Bid’ah, and it is a steppingstone to Shirk (Polytheism). It is opening the doors to Shirk (Polytheism). But it is not Shirk(Polytheism) in and of itself unless that action is accompanied by a belief that you are calling out to a god. I myself am an advocate of this second position.” It was shocking to witness someone who is knowingly and willfully encouraging grave worshiping when it is a clear-cut demolition of the Universal Declaration of Faith (Lā ilāha illa Allāh). Yet the hearts of his fans, loyalists remain neutral, and their tongues remain silent? Lā ilāha illa Allāh comprises two pillars: the complete negation of any form of worship to others than Allah (s.w.t), and the unquestionable and firm affirmation of all forms of worship only to Allah (s.w.t). Yasir Qadhi is a learned person who used to be amongst those whom Allah (s.w.t) honored to defend and preserve this Declaration (Kalimah), but now says that worshiping the graves is everything terrible, evil, sin, innovation, a steppingstone, and a door opener, but not Polytheism (Shirk). Meanwhile, many people’s dilemmas, including his Facebook fans and other learned Shaykhs in his circle, secure their livelihoods and prestige. So, do they have no care for what happens to the religion? What benefits does one gain from his adherence to the religion, what good is left in him towards Allah (s.w.t), His religion, and His Messenger (s.a.w) when he sees Allah’s (s.w.t) boundaries and sacredness being transgressed? Hence, I decided to introduce a revised second edition of the book titled ‘Lā ilāha illa Allāh,’ and to include two additional parts to address and refute Yasir Qadhi’s recent grave worship blunder. I ask Allah (s.w.t) to make this work of benefit to Muslims, including our brother Yasir Qadhi. May Allah (s.w.t) guide us all. Ameen. Imam Karim Abu Zaid

This book will help you to pray - effectively - for your nation, for your family, and for yourself. In it, Anne answers such questions as... Does God only hear the prayers of good people?

Download or read book Practicing the Power written by Sam Storms and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word. How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process? In Practicing the Power, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel. With examples drawn from his forty years of ministry as a pastor and teachers, Storms offers a guidebook that can help pastors, elders, and church members understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts. If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.
