I will recommend an entire series! it's called (you wont believe the title) Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events they are "childrens books" just like dr seuss wrote "childrens books" but they are all so wonderful in a dark mysterious and kind of tragic way!
i used to work with children at a burn clinic and it was one of their favorite books, which i never understood until i started reading it to them... it is about how something very bad happened to three children and how they stay together through everything and that is all they have...
lol there are 13 books and some other books associated with the series.. and a movie with jim carrey which was pretty good too!
^ lol I love childrens books :D
And those series sound really good too......I wonder where I can get my hands on some?
One of my childhood books which I really really love and still read is called "Walk Two Moons " , it's niiiiiice and I love it :) It's about this girl named Salamanca who's mum takes off....and it takes a while for her to realize that her mum is not coming back since she was killed in a traffic accident. But it's not sad or anything, just really nice :)
:sl:
sum buks dat i highly dnt recommend r jaqueline wilson's bukd :vomit: :vomit:

Assalamualaikum reading thread folk
I had a new look at this thread and a few comments now in tow:
I notice that these texts are mentioned twice and since the subject matter is named such that my own interest stirs I might like an appraisal as well as a where to find that Emir Aziz asks for.Quote:

(as bad as a black fella)Quote:

Just to comment that both the sealed nectar and Martin Lings book had two recommendations. I have read an exerpt from Martin Lings book and find that it is very very good only except in that around mysticism perhaps too oriented to what can harm/or in general a little far worked into potentialities, rather than a stricter or drier approach.Quote:

oops I forgot to put in my own recommendation: this is a book which is an allegory written by a man whose Islam is based in a Sufi teaching within one of the madhab; it is an allegory and so you need to master the Art of reading allegory to comprehend it. When you get it right you become enabled to work towards helping others exorcise shaytan; but when you get it wrong you manifest becoming very obviously with shaytan. It is called: Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson; by GI Gurdjieff and published by Penguin - it used to be Arkana but not any more - I can not recommend any other book higher except Qur'an and Gospel and Torah aligning with all ahadith.
significantly for those whom are wanting to be better enabled in the languages of the west; it dissembles and reconstructs the concentration around language such that a comprehension more attuned with Arabic can be enabled through words of the languages it was originally written in. The sentences are harder than mind to comprehend but, except where I make too many mistakes of course.
It is of course all written in such a manner as to ensure that if any person were initially interested, if they are actually too young for receiving the teaching in it, their mind will automatically be disabled from even noticing what their ablity is blocking.

I openly retract those statements, and had someone bothered to inform me of them and advise me, I would have changed them immediately. They will be changed with the next publications inshaa’Allaah, and I will further retract these statements on my web page and state the correct view regarding the rulers, inshaa’Allaah.
I have never had a problem accepting a mistake once proof comes to the contrary and changing it. But did these brothers ever sit with me and sincerely advise me about these “many mistakes”? Did they ask to meet with me, which I would have done gladly, and say, ‘In such and such a book, you made such and such an erroneous statement. The following evidence is to the contrary’, etc.? That would have been much appreciated.
Furthermore, in my meeting with Shaykh ‘Alee Hasan and Shaykh Saleem, some brothers tried to bring to them an issue in one of my old books, and Shaykh ‘Alee told them that they cannot take a person’s ‘aqeedah from his old books, instead it should be taken from his recent books. So the brothers should not merely take a statement written in my oldest books and ignore all my explicit statements in my recent lectures and books wherein I speak out in no uncertain terms against making takfeer of Muslim rulers and others, speak out against revolt against rulers and all the takfeeree movements. In my book, Usool at-Tafseer, I spoke about the importance of accepting the Sahaabah’s understanding of the Qur’aan, and as one of my examples, I quoted the verse, “And whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed is a kaafir.” Then followed it by Ibn ‘Abbaas’ statement, “It is a form of kufr less than real kufr.” Then I put in my footnote that the position of scholars is that when the ruler believes that man-made laws are better than or as good as the Sharee’ah, or that it is permissible to rule by them, then is a kaafir. Whereas if he applies man-made laws while believing that it is sinful to do so, then he is a major sinner but does not leave the fold of Islaam. I ended the footnote asking the reader to refer to at-Tah-theer min Fitnah at-Takfeer by Shaykh al-Albaanee, who, as I wrote, “provides copious documentation from the statements of classical and modern salafee scholars to support his position.” (p. 38) In my book Tafseer Soorah al-Mulk, which is complete and on the way to being published inshaa’Allaah, I included the entire section on the categories of kufr from Shaykh Khaalid al-‘Anbaree’s book The Fundamentals of Takfeer. And I again made clear statements there opposing takfeer and revolt against the rulers. And my position is and has been that of Shaykh al-Albaanee’s and the other scholars, the position of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa‘ah: that one cannot claim someone to be a kaafir due to a major sin he has committed, and that we cannot make takfeer on Muslim rulers if they do not rule by Sharee‘ah, for the ruler’s aqeedah as to whether or not it is permissible for him to rule by man-made laws or whether or not man-made laws are better, is something which only he and Allaah know the reality of. So we take him to be a Muslim, and the Prophet (pbuh) clearly forbade revolt against Muslim rulers in many ahaadeeth, and ordered that they be obeyed in other than disobedience to Allaah. Furthermore, Muslims should not publicly and openly speak out against the Muslim rulers and governments as it only creates fitnah and incites the masses of Muslims to act upon emotion and ignorance by creating chaos or plotting revolt against rulers. In addition, the only way for the Muslims to attain their honor and glory once again, and reach the level wherein the Muslim world can rule totally according to Sharee’ah, free of all forms of shirk, bid’ah, or oppression, is, as Shaykh al-Albaane spent his life teaching, by tasfiyah and tarbiyah. That is, that the deen be purified from all forms of shirk, bid’ah, hizbiyyah, blind-following, the use of inauthentic hadeeths, etc., and it be understood and practiced in the pristine form it was revealed in, according to the understanding of the righteous salaf, the Sahaabah primarily and the next two generations. Their way, in all affairs (aqeedah, methodology, fiqh, manners, understanding, etc.) is superior to all those who came after them. Then we must educate ourselves, families, then everyone else upon this purified religion. There are my positions in black and white before anyone who reads this, so as not to attribute to me to an ‘aqeedah and minhaj that I am in fact innocent of.
Waram,
If a person is not happy about Bilal Phillips writing that 'when we can not stop an oppressive leader we should make Du'a against their oppression': why then surely the simple solution is to make Du'a against Bilal Phillips having written that!
If any folk would like to know any matter about Aboriginal Australia from within the empirical set of references that are historical documents:
can I promote the writing of Henry Reynolds as the best history made for a western European way of thinking about Aboriginal Australia.
