A Historical Narrative of Fatima Bint Muhammad

Fatima (as)
The Flower of Life

By Jalal Moughania
Published by The Mainstay Foundation

This historical narrative is written with the hopes of captivating the reader to learn about Lady Fatima’s life and the attributes of her legendary personality. She was giving, selfless, and far beyond her years. She was the “Mother of her Father.” How a small girl could care for her father, physically tending to his wounds and emotionally cradling him in her little arms - while he was the greatest man to walk God’s earth - is fathomable only because she was... Fatima.

Is Tawassul Shirk?
On the validity of seeking intercession with God in Islam

Written by Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi
Published by Hodhod Press

This comprehensive treatise examines the controversial topic of tawassul (seeking intercession through the Prophet and other holy figures) in Islamic theology, directly addressing and refuting the claim that such practices constitute a form of polytheism or shirk. Through careful analysis of Qur’anic verses, authenticated hadith, and historical evidence, the author demonstrates how seeking intercession has been an accepted practice throughout Islamic history, embraced by all major schools of thought. The book systematically dismantles the theological arguments against tawassul, explains its deeper philosophical significance as an expression of monotheism rather than polytheism. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible to general readers, this work provides a thorough examination of a critical issue that continues to impact Muslim unity and the global perception of Islam.

NEW RELEASE!

The Qur’ān
An 5-part Explanatory Translation

By Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi
Published by Al-Maarif Foundation

Most of the existing translations are too literal and thus unreadable, or if they are fluent and readable, the lack of context surrounding the verses make them incomprehensible for those who would not have the time, nor interest, to study the extensive commentaries of the Qur’ān.

This translation, with its embedded explanatory words, phrases, and notes, makes it easy for any reader to understand the message of God found in these verses, in their proper contexts. It is designed to make studying and understanding the Qur’an more accessible and understandable for all. The text features headings and main topics, as well as a parallel English-Arabic translation.

Some additional features have been added to make the translation easier to understand. Inserting words in the translation and adding the Purpose of Revelation helps bring clarity and context to the text. Explanatory paragraphs and footnotes seamlessly inserted give a deeper meaning to sections you’re about to read. There’s also a detailed index that allows you to quickly search for topics and passages.

Love and Hate for God’s Sake
The Phenomenon of Malediction (La’n) and its Status in Islam

Written by: Mujtaba Sabouri
Translated by: Saleem Bhimji
Edited by: Arifa Hudda
Published by: Islamic Publishing House

The terms cussing (sabb); swearing (shatam); and malediction (laʿn), in their truest forms, represent the totality of enmity. The appreciation of these terms and their usage has been present from the initial stages of human existence. Historically speaking, there have been individuals, who in order to show their enmity in regards to events which transpired in the past, or individuals who lived in long-ago times, have demonstrated these terms vividly in their lives.

Even after the introduction of Islam, the usage and real-world practice of these terms was common and there were some individuals, who in order to express their aversion and detestation for the acts of others resorted to cussing and malediction.

As these practices were commonplace, it is important for us to analyse these terms from an Islamic perspective and to carry out an in-depth investigation into them.
