Abdalhaqq and Aisha Bewley The Noble Qur’an: A New Rendering of its Meaning in English needs no introduction. Now in its third edition, its reviews speak for themselves: “This new translation of the Qur’an immediately outdates all the others in the English-speaking world. the result of over twenty-five years of detailed study of the Qur’anic text, the Bewley translation has the advantage of high quality, naturally fluent English, along with the benifit of access to the traditional understanding of the text.” Dr. Y.

The Wives of the Prophet Muhammad (saas)

Paperback ISBN 9781842001295 £3.50

Ahmad Thomson

Kitab Ash-Shifa bi ta’rif haquq al-Mustafa, (Healing by the recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One), of Qadi ‘Iyad (d. 544H/1149CE) is perhaps the most frequently used and commented upon handbook in which the Prophet’s life, his qualities and his miracles are described in every detail. Generally known by its short title, Ash-Shifa, this work was so highly admired throughout the Muslim world that it soon acquired a sanctity of its own for it is said: “if Ash-Shifa is found in a house, this house will not suffer any harm,... when a sick person reads it or it is recited to him, Allah s.w.t. will restore his health.”

Among the best of women were the wives of the Prophet (saas). This book is an introduction to the Ummahat-ul-Mu’mineen, the Mothers of the Believers, who are inspiring role models for Muslim women today. Recommended for adults as well as children ages 12 and over.

Kitab At-Tabaqat Al-Kabir Volume VII Part 2: The Men of Madina

Paperback ISBN 978 1 897940 91 4 £9.50

Muhammad ibn Sa’d Translated by Aisha Bewley

This is a translation of volume seven of Ibn Sa’d’s Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir. The Tabaqat is a great store of information which gives the reader a vivid taste and feel for the character of the people of Madina and their extraordinary personalities. This translation deals with the Companions, Tabi’un and subsequent generations of the people of knowledge in Basra, Baghdad, Khurasan, Syria and Egypt. It is of particular interest since it demonstrates the attitude and action of the Companions and the Tabi’un when confronted by the dangers of civil war. It is extremely important in the modern age as we can learn a great deal from how the early Muslims dealt with this trial.

This is a translation of volume five of Ibn Sa’d’s Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir. This concentrates on the Tabi’un – the generation after the Companions (ra) – who lived in Madina itself. The study of Madina in this early period assumes great importance as it is well known that the first three generations after the Prophet (saas) are considered to be the best generations, and the school of the people of Madina was known to be the soundest of schools. This is because the people of Madina confined themselves to following in the footsteps of the Prophet (saas) more than the people of any other region did.

Dajjal: The Anti Christ

In this accessible and carefully researched text, the authors broach one of the most urgent issues thrown up by the process of contemporary globalisation – the future of the Muslim World. Their analysis probes the key material links between economic underdevelopment and WesternIslamic cultural relations. This book is vital reading for anyone who wishes to understand the roots of the current high-profile tension in global politics and to think beyond these conflicts towards the task of building a just and peaceful global order.

Ahmad Thomson The author attempts to relate current events and trends in the world to prophecies contained in the Qur’an and Sunnah. However, this best-selling book is not simply a catalogue of these events. Rather it examines and compares the outward existential behaviour, along with its inward psychological reality, both of those who do not base their way of life on Prophetic guidance and those that do.
