Caesarian Moon Births - Calculations, Moon Sighting and the Prophetic Way

Paperback - 75 pages Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

Prior to the advent of electricity, every night held the possibility of a celestial light show. People in even the most urban environments were exposed to the awe and majesty of the heavens, which clearly 'proclaim the glory of God.' The contemplation of the celestial orbs and their movements provided early man with the most direct connection to his Lord. In the Qur'anic story of Abraham, it is his observance of heavenly phenomena that leads him to his certainty of God's unity and transcendence. Since the time of the Seljuq Turks, the crescent moon has been a sign of Islam.

For Muslims in North America, there has been much confusion regarding when Ramadan begins, when to fast, and when to break the fast. Hamza Yusuf provides clarity through this detailed and scholarly work that decisively makes the case for sighting the crescent moon with the naked eye, as has been the Islamic tradition for 1400 years. This is essential reading for anyone seeking guidance on this important and sacred matter.

The Prophet's Ramadhaan Mufti Muhammad Khan Qaadri

Paperback - 146 pages

Ramadhan, the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar is the month in which Allah bestowed countless blessings upon humanity. This month hosted the beginning of the revelation of the Qur'an; the mercy for the Universe 'Muhammad’s announcement of Prophethood; the first major victory for the Muslims at Badr and the Muslims’ re-entering of Makkah without any bloodshed. Furthermore to demonstrate its virtue Allah has made one of its nights better than a thousand months. He opens the gates of Paradise, shuts the gates of Hell and chains the devils in this month. Allah also forgives and pardons countless believing sinners from Hell. In order to express gratitude for these blessings the believers, who truly recognise and appreciate these blessings, are commanded to fast and observe this month with utmost sincerity and humility. To observe this month in the way Allah wishes the believers need to follow the one who is most aware of what pleases and displeases Allah and who is the most knowledgeable about Ramadhaan, namely the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant him peace]. This book aims to describe how the Beloved Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant him peace] observed the month of Ramadhaan and allows the reader to become aware of his blessed practices and try to implement them into their daily lives during the blessed month.

The Author : Mufti Muhammad Khan Qaadri is based in Lahore, Pakistan and is one of the leading teachers of Dars e Nizaami (traditional Islamic scholastic course). He is also heavily involved in both writing and translating. He currently has over 100 titles published on a range of subjects such as Hadith, Fiqh, Usul ul Fiqh, women’s rights and social issues.

The Rulings of Ramadan : According to the Way of the Best of Mankind

Paperback - 40 pages by Abu Ammar

The month of Ramadan is a month of grace and blessing. Upon arrival of this blessed month, Allah Most High causes His blessings and forgiveness to descend upon the one who gives this month its rights. Ramadan is the month in which Allah Most High showers His blessings upon our homes, and upon those who enter the mosques, especially the House of Allah – the Ka‘bah. During Ramadan, the Mercy of Allah Most High falls upon us, like rain falling from the clouds.

One can liken the virtue of Ramadan with charity, which is of two kinds. The first kind is where one gives charity to someone whom one meets along the street or on the path. The second kind is likened to one who visits another with the intention of giving charity. Ramadan is likened to the latter; where Allah Most High causes His blessings to descend upon the ummah of the Blessed Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace). It is during this time, that little effort has the ability to earn high rewards, no matter where one is, be it in the Sacred Precinct in Makkah or in one’s home.

The Blessings of Ramadan - Spring of Righteousness

Paperback/Booklet - 55 pages by Dr Musharraf Hussain al-Azhari

Forward by Yusuf Islam - '' The most interesting book on the subject of Ramadan and Fasting [siyam] certainly fills a gap which has been vacant for sometime; it deals with some of the most important and possibly contentious aspects in a neutral and informal way.

Covering areas such as the Qur'an and Prophetic basis of Fasting, through the highly emotive subject of the sighting of the moon and beyond, into a survey of the Shari'a and its Rulings, Dr Musharraf Hussain should be commended for explaining this Pillar of Islam in his lucid and pleasing literary style. ''

Dr Musharraf Hussain is the director of Karima Institute, which is an organisation dedicated to propagating the message of Islam, and education of Muslim Children.

Ameena's Ramadan Diary - A Practical Guide to Getting the Best Out of Fasting & Ramadan

Paperback - 100 pages by Sara Kabil and Abu Bakr el-Banna

"Ameena's Ramadan Diary" – A practical guide to getting the best out of fasting and Ramadan. The book, in essence, is a day by day guide packed full of practical hints and tips and quotes from the Qur'an and Sunnah that can help you every step of the way throughout the Holy month.

...'' I always tell myself that 'I want to have a great Ramadan this year' and I always end up flatter than a fizzy drink with no fizz!!

So what would make a great Ramadan? Fasting, of course! But not any kind of fasting! I’m sure the best way is to fast like the Prophet Muhammad May Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to, or at least try to. Ok, I know I probably couldn’t get any where near how he used to, but maybe if I knew what he did and said and when he did it, that would be a start! ... ”

Ameena finds out that to have a successful Ramadan, she needs to prepare. Just showing up on day 1 and hoping for the best hasn’t served her well in the past. This time, it’s a different story.

With a little effort pre-Ramadan with the ‘Ramadan Preparation Program’ that she picks up at an event, a bit of focus and lots of guidance from authentic sources, she finds herself gaining momentum as she approaches the month of mercy.
