Encyclopedia of Muhammad's Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam Women Companions and the Traditions they Related by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani & Laleh Bakhtiar

Paperback - 500 pages+

This work is divided into two books: Book I contains all of the Traditions (ahadith) related by 150 women Companions of Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) according to the six canonical books of Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Ibn Majah, Sunan al-Nisai and Sunan al-Tirmidhi. The Traditions are organized according to the Divine Law (shariah), but this work begins with moral character development.

A brief glance shows that women Companions related Traditions in many areas and not just in areas relating specifically to women. Where there is more than one Tradition on the same topic, one is presented and references to the other versions are indicated below that specific Tradition. Book II contains the biographies of over 600 women Companions of the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) including her name, her mother's name, the name of her children, the name of her husband (s) and where information is available from the earliest sources of Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Sad, a biography is included.

About the Author Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani graduated with a B. A. in chemistry from the American University College of Beirut and then went to Louvain, Belgium to continue his medical studies. He later received his Islamic Law degree from Damascus..

Laleh Bakhtiar, Ph.D., a well-known author on Sufism, is the first person to unearth traditional psychology which had been buried in medieval philosophy. With this work she shows that traditional psychology is alive and vibrant and should be an alternative psychology to modern schools as the stress is upon morality and ethics. She is a nationally certified and licensed psychotherapist.

MU'AWIYA (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) Restorer of the Muslim Faith

Paperback - 103 pages by Aisha Bewley

Synopsis : Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan May Allah be pleased with him is a crucial figure for the history of Islam and one who has either been ignored because of the lack of information on this period of history, vilified for political reasons by the Shi'ites, or transformed into a completely secular ruler by certain Western orientalists. When Mu'awiya May Allah be pleased with him became the caliph in 41/661, he put an end to a period of destructive civil war and initiated the Umayyad dynasty which lasted for roughly 90 years until it was overthrown by the Abbasids. Indeed, it is hard to imagine how the crisis would have been resolved without his success in drawing the Muslim community together again.

In Mu'awiya May Allah be pleased with him, we have the master politician and diplomat who set about developing a form of governance in which Islam could express itself in the wider social and economic circumstances in which it found itself as a result of the success of the early conquests. The Umayyads represent the fusion of Islam with Arab democratic individualism and the Byzantime legacy.

So what was it about Mu'awiya May Allah be pleased with him, which made his rule so successful to such an extent that the famous historian, adh-Dhahabi, points out that after al-Hasan had surrendered his claim to the khalifate, "Mu'awiya reigned without a rival, and without losing any of the conquests of Islam. Neither 'Abdu'l-Malik, nor al-Mansur, nor Harun ar-Rashid May Allah be pleased with them earned this praise, unique in the annals of Islam"?

'Umar ibn al-Khattab (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) said, "Do not mention Mu'awiya with anything but good. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'O Allah, guide him!'" Abu Musa al-Ash'ari called him, "Aminu'llah," the trusty one of Allah."

Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu), the conqueror of Iraq and Iran and one of the oldest Companions and one of the ten promised the Garden, said that after 'Uthman (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu), he did not see anyone who judged by the truth more than Mu'awiya. He also said, " After 'Uthman I did not see anyone giving more judgement for what was right than Mu'awiya."

Khadija : The First Muslim & the Wife of the Prophet Muhammad, Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam

Paperback - 109 pages

Every difficult time in history also produced its heroes. Sayyidah Khadija, Radi Allahu ta'ala anha, was one of the heroes of the first days of Islam. She lived a legendary life, and this legend is told by God Himself, and His most beloved servant, the Last Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Exploring the gestation period of Islam, this biography focuses on the exceptional life story of one of the four greatest women of all time, one who wholeheartedly proclaimed her submission to the divine message delivered through the Prophet Muhammad, May Allah bless him and grant him peace. Khadija al-Kubra, May Allah be pleased with her, stands out in history not only as the first person to declare her faith in Islam but also as the strongest advocate and confidante of the Prophet Muhammad, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, and an individual who was a constant source of help to the early Muslim community.
