__________________[6] Question: What are the books you recommend a young person that is starting out in his Islaamic studies to read? Answer: If he is a novice, then from the books of Fiqh, we advise him to read "Fiqh As-Sunnah" of Sayyid Saabiq, while seeking assistance from some of its references, such as "Subul-us-Salaam (the ways of Peace & Safety) " (of Imaam As-Sana'aanee, rahimahullaah). And if he looks into "Tamaam-ul-Mannah" (of Al-Albaanee) then that will be stronger for him. And I advise him to read "Ar-Rawdat-un-Nadiyyah" (of Sideeq Hasan Khaan). As for the subject of Tafseer, then he should habitually read from the book "Tafseer Al-Qur'aan-ul-'Adheem" of Ibn Katheer – [chm file download ]even though it is somewhat long – for it is the most authentic from the books of Tafseer today. Then, on the subject of religious exhortation and heart-softening narrations, he should read the book "Riyaad-us-Saaliheen" of Imaam An-Nawawee. [ pdf version] [Daeef hadeeth in Riyadh us Saleheen - Albanee ] Then, with regard to the books related to Creed, I advise him to read the book "Sharh Al-'Aqeedat-ut-Tahaawiyyah" of Ibn Abee Al-'Izz Al-Hanafee. And he should seek assistance, also, from my comments and explanations to it. Then, he should make it his customary practice to study from the books of Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah and his student Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, may Allaah have mercy on them. For I hold them to be from the rare and unique Muslim scholars that have treaded upon the methodology of the Salaf As-Saalih (righteous predecessors) in their understanding, while having Taqwaa and righteousness. And we do not purify anyone over Allaah. [Al-Asaalah, Issue #5][Source al-manhaj] |

__________________A Site Dedicated To Students of Knowledge Came upon this site last night, a site which is pretty nice, small and compact yet provides alot of information for students of knowledge who are just starting out. The sites has two main interesting parts that concern mainly students of knowledge, that I know of, one being the Guidance on Seeking Knowledge and the Memorization Tools (Mutoon with Tashkeel). Guidance on Seeking Knowledge This section is further divided into other sections, which inlcude articles or questions to scholars, sub sections are, with a few examples from each,:- Knowledge and its ImportanceMemorization Tools (Mutoon with Tashkeel) This section has basically a table which is divided with the text and audio of some of the works, all divided catagories. 'Aqeedah (Creed)The site has other things also, but from brief browsing the above seems like the best parts. Alhamdulillah. إتبعوا ولا تبتدعوا، فقدكفيتم، وكل بدعة ضلالة Follow (the Sunnah) and do not innovate (into it), for verily you have been sufficed. And every innovation is a misguidance. Confused about which religion is true? How can I know? Come and check out some proposed fundamental principles (#1 , #2) to aid you in making a decision. |

The most important book for anybody would be the Quran. By this I don’t mean knowing the letters along with tajweed but rather to also understand the Quran. This would require a student of knowledge to understand the tafseer of the Quran as it is very important for any student of knowledge. The student should have books on the principle of tafseer to help him/her gain a better understanding InshaAllaah (God willing). As for an introductory study of ‘Aqeedah, one should study a book like Usool ath-Thalaatha (The Three Fundamental Principles), by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, along with its sharh (explanation). As for the books of Sunnah, in terms of manhaj, an excellent book in that field would be The Creed of Imaam Barbaharee by Imaam Barbaharee. It is available in English along with its sharh (explanation). Another area of study should be Seerah. For the beginner student, he/she should start of with a summarised and simple biography of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The seerah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) should not be belittled in any regard and should be of high importance for the student of knowledge. In terms of Hadeeth; a very basic introductory course would be sufficient for the beginner student of knowledge. There is a simple book by our Shaykh, Muhammad Saalih ibn Uthaymeen, called Mustalah al-Hadeeth. The book is simple, to the point along with examples and very easy to understand for the student of knowledge. It is preferable for the student of knowledge to study under a Shaykh (teacher) or an experienced student of knowledge. If a Shaykh is not available for the student of knowledge then he/she should try his best to work alone and gain knowledge to maximum benefit. The student of knowledge should NEVER forget to take notes. For one, it will job back memories and would be helpful in recalling knowledge that may have been forgotten over time and secondly, the student of knowledge can write down questions requiring clarification and InshaAllaah (God willing) will gain the answers to such questions. Once completing the introductory courses, the student of knowledge should progress onto the next step. So in ‘Aqeedah, the student of knowledge can start off with al-Qawaaid al-Arba’ah, by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, along with its sharh (explanation). Other books of ‘Aqeedah the student of knowledge should study are Kitaab at-Tawheed, by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, and ‘Aqeedatul Waasitiyyah, by Shaykhul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah, along with their sharh (explanations). For the field of Hadeeth, one should study a book by some of the righteous predecessors. There are plenty of classical books of hadeeth that a student of knowledge can acquire and study. At this stage, the student of knowledge should be studying the Arabic language and focusing a lot on Arabic grammar. You can start of by studying the book al-Ajroomiyyah by ibn Ajroom. The Arabic language is a big matter for the student of knowledge and a lot of effort should be placed on learning the Arabic language. The student of knowledge should then progress onto a book based on evidence and daleel called ‘Umadtul Ahkaam. And then after this step, the student of knowledge can also study Buloogh al-Maram and InshaAllaah (God willing) gain benefit from it. I hope this answers your question. Dr. Saleh as-Saleh |
