Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Some Good Book Recommendations For These Times

			There's lots of books that we
would recommend. It just depends
		

			on the subject and so on.
		

			So it depends on what you want to
read and what your subject is. But
		

			one of the books that I definitely
suggest everybody read to give an
		

			understanding of where we are is a
thinking Person's Guide to Islam.
		

			I know we're Muslims, and the
majority of people here are born
		

			Muslims and have been Muslim for a
very long time. But really, that
		

			book is an amazing a, a thinking
Person's Guide to Islam. It gives
		

			a good overall understanding of
the various different aspects of
		

			Islam and can really improve our
knowledge. Just because you're
		

			Muslim doesn't mean that we know
everything about Islam. It will
		

			really help to get a good
understanding, and put things more
		

			in perspective to really realize
what it means to be a Muslim even
		

			for ourselves. Mufti Taqi Usmani
read the book and praise that
		

			hugely and wrote a blog for it.
It's published, published by white
		

			thread, press, and turf, right,
and you can find it. Another of
		

			the books is a thinking Person's
Guide to our times, that really
		

			gives an understanding, especially
if you're into like, what's going
		

			to happen in the world and so on.
This is a really good book, and a
		

			third book of his a thinking
Person's Guide to happiness. Lots
		

			of questions are being raised
today as to what is happiness?
		

			This, this COVID thing has made a
lot of people vulnerable. Because
		

			remember, in the West, we're so
used to seeing problems in other
		

			areas. That is not our problem.
Misery, famine, war, murder, right
		

			homelessness, in on a more grand
scale refugees, that's all another
		

			country, or that was all history.
Right? Such fears. And now it's
		

			brought right to our door in a way
that we don't even can't even see
		

			this enemy. So, really, this to
really understand what happiness
		

			is all about what ultimate success
is all about. Very important. The
		

			fourth book that I'm going to
suggest, is called by shakable,
		

			Hassan Ali nadwi, saviors of
Islamic spirit. Amazing book, I
		

			read that when I was about 20, I
wished I'd read it when I was 12
		

			or 13. Right? Read that book that
really puts into perspective, the
		

			movements of societies and
individuals and challenges of the
		

			world and gives a lot of hope. So
I would definitely suggest those,
		

			those books to read, get a good
Tafseer of the Quran.
		

			Right? Get a good Tafseer of the
Quran. And then beyond the Sahaba
		

			you could also read about our
history. So it's called Lessons in
		

			Islamic history from trough
publishing a beautiful book, I
		

			just actually read it to my
children, right? So there's
		

			numerous books one Allah there's
numerous books
