The Prophetic Art of Dealing with Non-Muslims
Highlights:
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, ” I have been sent to perfect moral character.” Nowhere was our beloved profits moral character clear than in his conduct would non-muslims. In this book I discussed how the prophet dealt with non-muslims of his community to present a model on how to live in multi-faith societies and uphold Harmony. Our Prophet dealt with non-muslims based on the Islamic view of the humans inherent dignity. This view extended even to his opponents, who slandered, insulted, and exiled him and his companions from their homes as well as persecuted them for their beliefs. As we will see, several of his antagonist would come to accept Islam purely because of his forgiveness and compassion. These lessons in kindness and moral conduct are valuable not just for Muslims, but for humanity the world over.

The Quest For Love & Mercy (P/B)
Highlights:
This is one of a 3-book series covering various aspects of marriage according to the authentic Sunnah. Marriage plays a most central role in the human life, and has been largely discussed by the scholars of Islaam through the ages, resulting in numerous writings and treatises. Some of those writings, mostly by contemporary scholars, have been translated into English. However, we find them restricted in scope, addressing Muslims who live in predominantly Islaamic countries, or overlooking important real issues that have developed under modern civilization. This leaves quite a large gap that needs to be filled for the benefit of the Muslims in English-speaking countries, and this is what we attempt to fulfill over the span of three books.”
The book covers the importance and advantages of marriage, selecting a spouse, the courting process, the marriage contract, celebrating the wedding, the waleemah, forbidden marriages, etc. It provides a practical procedure for performing a marriage contract, and includes a sample marriage certificate.

We often pretend to be happy and put on a brave face for the world despite carrying the pain of enduring a personal struggle or adversity.
When we are alone, that is when we fall into despair — for failing to overcome the struggles that we carry silently in our hearts.
Are we considered strong if we do not fall when life pushes us to the ground? Do our faith and belief tell us that we cannot let our misery affect us because as the saying goes, “we must bear patience”?
In this book, author Liyana Musfirah takes readers on a reflective journey of discovering the strength that emerges from each of our painful and scarring episodes.
This is the book that celebrates what God has given women — the resilience to withstand emotional, spiritual, or even physical hardships.

Therapy from the Qur’an and Ahadith (H/B)
Highlights:
The re-emergence of Islamically – centred therapy has increased over the past few decades. This has been motivated by the need for a therapeutic approach to treating mental illness that is ideologically acceptable within the boundaries of Shari’ah. This has become a concern not only for Muslim therapists and their patients but in fact for all Muslims, as part of their adherence to Islam and towards improving their Iman. Muslim psychologists around the world are working hard at developing faith -based models of therapy that are acceptable to their peers and Muslim scholars alike. This book is precisely that; An easy-to-use collection of Qur’anic ayaat and authentic ahadith and their interpretations, that allow bi idh nillah individuals to challenge distressing psychological thoughts and behaviors. Written by an experienced clinical psychologist, the text may be used as a therapeutic aid or reference for clinicians or simply as a general guide to character development. The use of analogy means that the book is relevant to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike with the aim of using guidance from Islam to alleviate difficulties and to improve our understanding of human distress. Only the Creator best knows the creation.
To God Through Money by Mohamed Geraldez (Claritas)
Highlights:
This true story begins with a young woman giving birth to a boy, alone in a Californian hospital. His childhood pursuit of candy, music, money and figuring out whether he’s part of the Hispanic, Black, White or Asian crowd, makes him soul search before he embarks on a spiritual journey. Trading his surroundings of beaches, booze, drugs, guns, murder and gangs — for several years in the Saharan Desert and the Middle East, he lives the life of a nomad and student of ancient knowledge. The twist in the tale is that an entrepreneur returns — focused on independence and living according to a philosophy which he calls ‘Happy Money.’
