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
