Futuwwah and Raising Males into Sacred Manhood concisely discusses the principles within futuwwah, or spiritual chivalry, that young men should strive to embody and should inculcate into our communities. While the virtues discusses in this text are not all exclusively related to young males becoming men, this book is tailored towards males, and the specific issues faced by males as they strive to grow into the path of manhood. Just as young women need their own spaces to learn from women how to become honorable sisters, young men require their own special places to instill in them the virtues of upright brothers.

The Islamic tradition calls for a revival of organized training relating to spiritual chivalry and sacred manhood - this is the task of the hour. There are beautiful and majestic qualities embodied by the Prophet s that he passed down to his family members and pious Companions. Those upright men were methodically raised up: they undertook rites of passage, and manly responsibilities which were placed upon them with expectations that they would be executed with excellence.

This book begins by establishing the linguistic and operational definitions of the Arabic word futuwwah, translated here as "spiritual chivalry." The text then discusses the essential virtues for developing healthy manhood, in a specific order of their priority in teaching. The Qur'anic verses, Prophetic narrations, and sayings of pious Companions and scholars on the subject of futuwwah are related with sound meaning, accompanied by meticulous citations in footnotes and endnotes.

The science of Khasa'is encompasses the study of the uniqueness of the actions, the attributes, and the essence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as well as the special gifts given to him, and the special gifts that are given to the Muslim Ummah by virtue of their status as the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ. Knowledge of the Khasa'is is considered to be one of the keys to benefiting from one's relationship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, since his unique aspects provide openings to innumerable blessings.

In the history of Islam, the earliest works in the genre of Khasa'is date from the time of the early Imams and compilers of Hadith. This present work consists of translations of two major works in the genre of Khasais and one supplemental work from three of the great scholars of the Ummah: Bidayat al-Sul fi Tafdhil al-Rasul ﷺ of Shaykh 'Izz al-Din ibn 'Abd al-Salam, as well as Unmūdhaj al-Labīb fi Khasa’is al-Habib ﷺ of Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, and selections from Matali' al-Masarrat li Jala' Dala'il al-Khayrat of Shaykh Muhammad al-Mahdi al-Fasi.

However, in modern times the science of Khasa'is has been neglected, to the point that many Muslims have become unaware of its existence. This present volume is an attempt to rectify this deficiency, to present the Khasa'is to an English-speaking audience in a manner befitting the unique honor, majesty, and significance of Allah's Final Messenger ﷺ. Each page is the result of a collaboration of a world-class team of translators, editors, designers, typesetters, and printers from across four continents, and every detail represents a fusion of traditional knowledge and design elements with state-of-the-art book production methods. The result is a work the like of which has never before been printed in the English language, that is sure to occupy a place of honor in the library or home.

This book will give you:

• A renewed sense of honor in the unique and distinctive qualities of our Prophet ﷺ and the Ummah of our Prophet ﷺ
• Deeper understanding of the many traditional names and titles of Allah's Messenger ﷺ and the wisdom, significance, and purpose of each one
• Increased love for Allah's Messenger ﷺ, attachment to him, and awe of him

The Shama’il al-Muhammadiyya of Imam al-Tirmidhi presents us detailed descriptions of the moral, physical and spiritual qualities of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The perfections that Allah bestowed upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encompass every aspect of his blessed being: his outward physical form, his senses, his internal form and his inner beauty. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the most perfect embodiment of created beauty and form, and he is unsurpassed in his perfections. No one can rival or outstrip him in any laudable quality or trait. He knows Allah as He should be known. He fears Allah as He should be feared. He loves Allah as He should be loved. Understanding the Shama’il is absolutely critical to any proper understanding of Islam, for it details the qualities of the message-bearer, which fundamentally alters how we understand the message he brought.

Praise for the Shama'il

Concerning Divine Wisdom in the Creation of Man is a selected translation and commentary of Imam al-Ghazali's treatise on the human anatomy and physiology. In it, al-Ghazali masterfully provides the seeker of religious knowledge a window into Allah’s creativity through the Islamic study of anatomy.

The study of anatomy for the Muslim serves as a potential means to fulfill two distinct goals:

1. To increase one’s attachment to the Creator through a deeper appreciation of the details of His creation
2. Or to become a professional with knowledge of diseases and cures

The broad audience of medical students, physicians, healthcare professionals, as well as non-medical seekers of religious knowledge will appreciate the details of human anatomy described by Imam al-Ghazali through an Islamic lens. Readers will also recognize that this discussion, though accurate from the perspective of modern medicine, reflects a distinctly different paradigm from that of modern anatomy and physiology.

Imam al-Ghazali asserts that there is a spiritual component to the human being, and that every detail of human anatomy is representative of Allah's qudra, His power, and His wisdom. In this text, al-Ghazali describes these spiritual purposes alongside the physical anatomy, with the same level of clarity and precision.

This edition includes Dr. Kamran Riaz's meticulous English translation side-by-side with al-Ghazali's original Arabic text. The translation is followed by over 150 endnotes from Dr. Riaz and Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia.

Instantly Recognized Anywhere In The World By Its Epithet, The Burdah Is A Timeless Tribute To The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Which Although Penned In The Twelfth Century, Still Resonates Deeply Due To The Affinity Generated By The Author’s Spiritual Journey.

Designed by Naveed Hameed; Translated by Shaykh Adnaan Raja

The poem begins with Imam al-Busiri’s struggle against his ego, as he showcases the hallmarks of true Muhammadan love. Through praising the Prophet ﷺ , narrating events and miracles from the Prophet’s ﷺ life, as well as lauding the majesty of the Holy Qur’an, the ode culminates with Imam al-Busiri’s miraculous rehabilitation, as he petitions the Prophet ﷺ. All of which takes place with the Imam turning back to Allah ﷻ during reconciliation with his faith, and a noetic realization about the reality of the world.

Praise for "The Burdah"

"It is beautifully wrapped in lovely brown leather like a precious pearl. The Arabic font is easy to read and the English translation helps to understand with additional side notes explaining it further. I'm mesmerized after my first sitting of recitation. I would recommend to give yourself time to recite and take it slowly. Read the side notes simultaneously with the Arabic and English translation. Let it sink in your heart slowly to enlighten it with the love of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ." – Wajid Ali

NOTE: This is a pre-order for Eid al-Adha 2024.

Bring Joy To Families This Eid Al-Adha!

Every year we facilitate on behalf of our reading community their Qurbani for Eid. It's a unique annual service we do in the spirit of serving our loyal readership. 

1 whole goat or sheep will be dedicated in Makkah and distributed to those in need on your behalf. Our team has been partnering with a local farm for over 10 years to complete the Qurbani in Makkah. All the meat is distributed to the underprivileged residents of Makkah. Good deeds have a special virtue when done in Makkah.

All of our animals are one or more years old. None of the animals has any defects, such as, but not limited to, missing teeth, severed tails or defective ears. Our local Makkah team handpicks the animals prior to Eid and is involved in slaughtering and supervising the whole operation.

In honor of Dhu al-Hijjah — the Month of Allah — all who honor us by entrusting their Qurbani to our team will receive two special gifts:

• A free paperback copy of our forthcoming book Forty Hadiths on the Merits of the Testament ‘Lā Ilāha illā Allāh’ by Shaykh Yusuf al-Nabhani, translated by Shaykh Ahmad Derrick Peat
• A unique Ottoman style certificate designed by the IGP Manuscripts Team to celebrate the completion of the 2024 Qurbani

In order to allow our team time to prepare, these gifts will only be available for those who reserve Qurbani prior to 1 Dhul Hijjah.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my Qurbani be processed and distributed within the days of Eid?

Our farmer & processor have many years of experience processing and distributing meat during Hajj. They will ensure that all animals are processed & packaged on the day of Eid, and all meat is distributed the next day to this in need. This is also handled by team members of IGI in Saudi.

Who will receive donations of meat?

The meat from your Qurbani will be donated to the poor of Makkah and the outlying suburbs. The residents of these areas are largely emigrants & refugees, with large numbers from West & East Africa, as well as Rohingya from Burma.

How will you ensure my Qurbani is performed according to specifications?

We have a longstanding relationship with our farmers & processor through Hajj & umrah trips organized by Sara International Travel. IGI's team has personally supervised their work in the past & is confident they will fulfil their task with ihsan.

Is there any special blessing in having my Qurbani done in Makkah?

In general, actions within the haram carry special blessings & benefits. One might hope for some baraka in donating to the poor of Makkah, especially during a year when Hajj is again reduced & resources will be relatively scarce in the haram.

Can I dedicate animals for other purposes besides Qurbani, like an aqiqah or general sadaqah?

Yes! Please email us with your specific requests & we'll ensure they are fulfilled for you.

Known in Arabic simply as the Arba'in, "The Forty," this is without question the most widely-known and widely-read small compilation of Prophetic hadith. Across the world, from the east to the west, Imam al-Nawawi's collection is often the first, and sometimes the only Hadith text many Muslims study in their lives.

Each hadith in this collection and serves as a foundational proof text in at least one area of the Islamic sciences. Being of such importance, these Hadith are also incredibly dense in meaning; one of Allah's gifts to His Prophet ﷺ was the ability to convey volumes in only a few words, and the Hadith of the Arba'in are among the best examples of this.

IGI's edition of al-Nawawi's Arba'in includes:

• New translation of each Hadith
• Succinct gems to ponder the significance and major themes of each Hadith
  
• Short biography of Imam al-Nawawi
• Paperback; 100 pages
• Foreword by Shaykh Abdullah Anik Misra
• Translation by Talut Dawood

This is a beautiful edition that is easy and pleasurable to read, that you will return to again and again, and that we hope will live on your shelf for many years to come.
