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
