A Female Gives Thanks to Islam
Highlights:
This book, by Allah, does not feel like my book!!!
Rather, it is a “project of pride”. I hope this book is the most beautiful gift a father may give his daughter or a mother her daughter.
It may be a gift from a brother to his sister, from a husband to his wife, and from a friend to her friend.
To have in every family an ambassador for the Muslim girls who is proud of her identity, striving to strengthen that identity among girls.

Human Right in Islam – DCB
Highlights:
This work argues that contemporary human rights schemes, especially the extreme and vocal branches, offer no convincing reasons for a Muslim to give up tenets of his faith to bend them to meet their demands. On the contrary, these schemes’ baseless claims should strengthen a Muslim’s conviction in Islam. Human Rights Advocates have a noble goal of bringing people the rights they deserve, but they are lost and confused, lacking a foundation for their claims. After examining the human rights paradigm, a Muslim should flee quickly and return to Allah, realizing that without the guidance of the Almighty, there is no hope for humanity.
