Books, books, books!
Archived under Personal Ramblings .
Assalaamu 'alaikum.
I was dragged into this one by Iman. There's nothing much you can do but to answer the call, right?
So here goes!
Total number of books owned: I don't know. I've never actually sat and made a task of counting all the books I have. If you include my Law books and 'lil bits and bobs... I probably have about 200 or more! Yaa Allaah...!
Last book bought: Well, the last time I bought books (always plural!) was when we went to Birmingham for a little break with another family. The books I bought were:
--> Tafseer soorah ar-Rahmaan **
--> Ways to protect yourself from shayateen and jinn **
--> Sword against black magic and evil magicians **
Last book read: Well... I must say, I'm picking here and there at the moment. I've been reading Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) by Abdul-Majid Hamid; When the Moon Split **, and some tidbits here and there.
Five books that mean a lot to me: OK...
1. Kitaabullaah (Qur`aan) - must I explain why?
2. Tafseer ibn Katheer - in order to truly grasp that which Allaah has revealed, I totally have to have this explanation by Ibn Katheer because I always find myself appreciating my deen more afterwards, mashaa`Allaah.
3.Riyaadus-Saaliheen by Imaam Nawawee - this book is a compilation of ahadeeth and aayaat which are essential.. I repeat, essential for every Muslim to know. The fact that they are arranged in categories make them extremely accessible and an excellent 'quick-reference' source - mashaa`Allaah!
4. Du'aa the Weapon of the Believer - I believe I have a book review on this book. Another reference book that I love - du'aa is an act of worship in and of itself. Why not then learn how to do it properly?
5. SubhaanAllaah I can't think of one right now - I'll update when I think of one, inshaa`Allaah.
** I don't know the authors.. when I get a chance to ccheck, I'll update the entry inshaa`Allaah.
Props to Iman.
Was-salaamu 'alaikum

as salaamu `alaykum...
Bet you couldn't decide WHICH books to choose for this list right?? Ma shaa Allah you have a good selection of books there in the UK. If it weren't for the exchange rate and shipping charges, I would buy buy buy!
PS: I love your book reviews... more please!
