need help regarding islamic books

[zakirs]

salaam all ,

i need help regarding some islamic books that help me learn more about islam ( hadith , history , etiquette ) , but the problem is although i have read quran in arabic and many other books in urdu .. over the time i have lost touch in urdu. So , i would prefer to read them in english.Could any one suggest some thing.

PS: i also have a difficulty in understanding the literary english that is used in holybooks( for ex: quranic translations ( thou thy ?? ) )

 

[MusLiM 4 LiFe]

Theres loads of books i dont know where to start..
Well for starters, this website: http://www.idci.co.uk/home.php and this website: http://www.azharacademy.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=4 has very good books which are free or cheap..

Books i really liked reading and it gave me alot of knowledge alhamdulilah is The Spectacle of Death by Khawaja Islam - gives you insight on glimpses of the grave etc as well as how to perform a Janaza. Theres also other books like Fiqh Essentials which is really good. But have a look at those websites and im sure you'l find some good ones Inshallah

And as for the Quran issue, i have the same issue but i have the meaning of the Quran by M Marmaduke Pickthall. I had this other interpretation of the Quran which was really good and easy to understand English but i cant remember who it was by. All i know is that Walkers was the publisher..
