In the age that we live in, our days have become our nights, and our nights have become our days wherein we are continually focusing on matters of this temporary life and turning a blind eye to that which matters, such as the teachings of the best of creation, the one who uttered in a supplication: “O Allah, my Nation, my Nation!”, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

This compilation is unique in that each form of prayer highlights the connection between the Messenger ﷺ and the Names and Qualities of Allah ﷻ. In addition, each form includes a unique supplication for the one reciting it. The reciter of these prayers thus finds himself engaging in the remembrance of Allah ﷻ by calling Him through His Most Sublime Names, and asking Him to send prayers and increase the honour and rank of the Messenger ﷺ. By doing this, he obtains the virtues and reward of sending prayers upon the Prophet, and also supplicates to Allah, asking Him such amazing things that we are generally unable to think of when asking of Him.

The author, Ḥabīb ʿUmar bin Ḥafīẓ, is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. ﷺ, and one of the great luminaries of our time. This salawat collection has been made available to English speakers for whom we ask Allah ﷻ to make it a means to attain proximity, in this life and the Hereafter, to Him ﷻ and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

This text is a collection of approximately 400 unique salawat composed by Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari. Similar to the famous Dala'il al-Khayrat of Imam al-Jazuli, the text is arranged into seven chapters, with one chapter for each day of the week. However, rather than a collection of traditional salawat like the Dala’il, the Salawat of Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari is an original text reflecting the knowledge, insight, and outpourings of the Shaykh.

This new bilingual edition contains an English transliteration and translation of each salawat with voweled Arabic text, to allow English-speaking readers to better understand the meanings of these extraordinary prayers. The foreword to this edition is also in English.

Shaykh Salih al-Ja’fari was a master of the sacred sciences, and one of the most respected scholars of the Ahl al-Sunnah w'al Jama'at of his generation. However, although he served as Imam of al-Azhar for many years, he is perhaps better known in the West today as one of the the foremost Arabic poets of the past century. These salawat are extremely beautiful, and the reader cannot help but notice their extreme beauty and eloquence. Even those who read Arabic at a beginner-level will benefit, while those who read and speak Arabic fluently will perceive many subtleties of the text’s language, composition, and meanings.

Throughout Egypt, Sudan, east Africa, southeast Asia, and elsewhere, thousands of people recite each day's portion of the Salawat of Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari consistently. These salawat have continued to become ever more widely known and more beloved in the years since the Shaykh death, may God have mercy on him. It's possible to imagine that, in time, the Salawat of Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari may become as famous and widely known as Imam al-Jazuli's collection.

Those who intend to read the salawat regularly or daily may consider purchasing the beautiful leather PU illuminated edition, the compact and durable pocket edition of this text as well. The leather PU + pocket editions are also available as a bundle here.

Surah al-Fatihah is the most important Surah in the life of a practicing Muslim. These seven lofty verses appear in the beginning of the Noble Qur'an, weighty in meaning and magnificent in beauty, and are recited at least seventeen times in our daily prayers.

In Unlocking Surah al-Fatihah: The Great Beginning, Dr. Ahmad al-Tijani Thani Saꜥd al-Azhari expounds on the meanings of Surah al-Fatihah to help us gain a deeper understanding of this great surah. This is an original tafsir work comissioned by Imam Ghazali Publishing in partnership with Haykal Publishing. 

Shaykh Ahmad describes his approach:

"My methodology in this work is that I first introduce the surah by discussing its main themes, whereafter…I begin with the meanings of each word individually...before moving on to outlining the verse's grammatical structure. Thereafter, I explain the verse's overall meaning, also mentioning any points of rhetoric (balaghah)...I relied upon the major works of exegesis (tafsir).

"My objective in all of this is to present the commentaries of classical imams to people of our time in a manner that is as close as possible to contemporary language style."

Unlocking Surah al-Fatihah provides a window into the true depth of classical scholarship on the Qur'an, through the verses with which we are most familiar. This is a book meant to help renew your sense of wonder at this greatest Surah, to help you marvel at it once more, almost as though you are reading it for the first time.

This edition includes Arabic text and English translation on facing pages.

“I intend.”

With those two words, our lens of perspective, and our entire approach to everything we do, can change.

The Book of Intentions a new translation of Kitab al-Niyyat by Habib Muhammad ibn ʿAlawi al-ʿAydarus, better known as Ḥabīb Sa'd. In this text, Habib Sa'd explores the transformative power of intention (niyyah) in Islamic practice. Rooted in the profound and widely-known hadith that "actions are by intentions," this book guides readers through the process of aligning one's daily actions with one's intention and purpose, such that every deed is transformed into an act of worship. 

Throughout the text, Habib Saʿd emphasizes that the heart's intentions are more significant than physical actions alone; and that even small acts, when performed with the right intention, can yield immense spiritual rewards.

The Book of Intentions is structured around various themes, such as:

• Visiting the mosque
• Gathering for prayer
• Cultivating relationships with fellow believers
• Ordinary actions of everyday life

And more.

For each act, the author provides a detailed set of recommended intentions, highlighting the unique rewards associated with each one. Habib Saʿd also cites numerous hadith, along with many insights from the scholars and the tradition, to illustrate the deep-seated importance of intentions in the life of a Muslim.

As a whole, this text is a powerful exhortation for the believers to make every permissible action purposeful, including even routine tasks like eating and drinking, waking and sleeping, buying and selling, and being in the company of our family and friends. Through these practical examples, Habib Saʿd illustrates how proper intentions can imbue our daily lives with sanctity and purpose, and help us to live in a continuous state of worship in every moment.

This year's Rabi' al-Awwal Readings course will be a journey through The Maghāzī of Sayyidunā Muhammad ﷺ by the eminent Tabi'i scholar Musa ibn 'Uqbah, the earliest biography of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ currently known to exist.

While widely known and universally respected by the scholars of the Tabi'in and the early generations, until a short time ago The Maghāzī of Sayyidunā Muhammad ﷺ had not been seen for centuries, and was thought to be lost forever. Its rediscovery literally rewrites the narrative of history, and the true magnitude of its significance is yet to be fully known.

Over the past year, the IGP manuscripts team has produced the first-ever English translation of this work. Over the next 4 weeks, Shaykh Hamzah Maqbul will guide us on a journey through this text, exploring how the earliest generations of Muslims approached the life of the Prophet ﷺ. To our knowledge, this will be the first time The Maghāzī of Sayyidunā Muhammad ﷺ has been taught publicly in many centuries, and almost certainly the first time it has ever been taught to an English-speaking audience.

The course will include:

• Five intensive live sessions held via Zoom
• Access to recordings of all class sessions
• Ebook of the text delivered to all students
• Time for Q&A in all class sessions
  
• Invitation to a private Telegram chat with the instructor to facilitate additional discussion and Q&A

Course schedule: Wednesdays Sept 11-October 2, 2024 – 1 pm ET; 6 pm London; 10 am PST; 8pm Mecca; 1am Malaysia (1 hour long) – 5 sessions total (4 scheduled sessions + 1 session date/time TBD) – All sessions will be recorded if you cannot attend live.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Shaykh Hamzah Maqbul was born in California, and lived in Southern California until the age of ten when he moved to Washington state. He attended the University of Washington and completed a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry and a Bachelors of Arts in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and was active in the Muslim community on campus, serving as the president of the UW Muslim Students Association.

After graduation Shaykh Hamzah went on to pursue traditional Islāmic studies, which took him to a number of countries, including Syria and Egypt where he studied the Arabic language, Morocco, Mauritania, and UAE, where he studied the madhhab of Imām Mālik, grammar, usul al-hadith, and the two renditions of the qira’ah of Imam Nāfi’, Warsh and Qālūn, and finally Pakistān where he had the opportunity to study tafsīr, Usūl al-Hadīth, Hadīth, ‘Ilm al-Rijāl and Hanafī Fiqh. All of these studies culminated in him receiving an Ijāzat al-Tadrīs, literally meaning “a license to teach” which is the equivalent in Pakistānī Islāmic seminaries to a MA in Arabic and Islāmic studies, as well as an unbroken chain of transmission by which to narrate the Hadīth of such books as the Muwatta' of Imām Mālik, the Sihāh al-Sittah (Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, Tirmidhī, Nasā'ī and Ibn Mājah), and the Sharh Ma'ānī al-Athār of Imām al-Tahāwī.

Upon his return to the United States, Shaykh Hamzah spent a number of years in the Muslim community of Seattle, Washington, and also worked closely with Darul Qasim, CAIR, the Halal Food Standards Alliance of America (hfsaa.org) and a number of other non-profit organizations that serve the Muslim Community. He is now the resident scholar for Ribāt, a center for learning and remembrance in the Midwest United States. 

The illustrious Imam and erudite scholar of al-Azhar, Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari, authored an extraordinary amount of poetry on many subjects. The Shaykh's poems comprise twelve volumes, which grouped according to their subject matter, ranging from the remembrance and glorification of Allah, advice for the one traversing the spiritual path to Allah, exalting the excellence of the Beloved ﷺ and the Ahl al-Bayt, and the virtues of the Path’s litanies and salawat.

This book contains selected poems from the first of those twelve volumes. These selections focus on the relationship between the shaykh and murid, as well as the virtues of the spiritual path. These poems were specifically selected by Shaykh Muhammad Salih al-Ja'fari, the grandson of Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari. The core of these selected poems, just as in the shaykh’s poetry overall, are from the genre of what is known as madih (praise poetry), in praise of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Ahl al-Bayt.

Regarding the methodology of his father, Shaykh 'Abd-al-Ghani al-Ja'fari said the following:

"This door of spiritual openings, which our Shaykh traveled, is a clear opening, and whoever traverses it will arrive, and whoever arrives will be connected, and whoever is connected will see and witness, and whoever has witnessed, has intimate discourse, and becomes acquainted, and whoever becomes acquainted, is guided to the Muḥammadan Reality, thus he multiplies love by love. As he ﷺ has said: 'A man is with the one he loves.'"

These poems are truly transformative, both for the one who recites them and the one who listens, and represent acceptance and invitation to the presence of the Prophet and his household.

This bilingual edition contains the original fully-vowelized Arabic text with an easy-to-read English translation directly following each line, and has been designed for use in regular gatherings of remembrance.

This text is a concise discussion of matters affecting the relationship between a student and a spiritual teacher. Adapted from the teachings of Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz, it covers both conceptual and practical knowledge necessary to benefit from such a relationship, with extended discussion of both outward and inward etiquettes of the student towards the teacher. 

The author writes in his introduction:

"I hope [this text] would enable us to recognise the right of being in the company of those whose condition inspires us and whose words guide us towards Allah ﷻ so that we too could hold on to divine attributes, be imbued with prophetic characteristics, and imbibe the qualities of the true servants."

Excerpts from the Qur'an are interspersed throughout the text, with extended commentary on those verses most relevant to the relationship between teachers and students. The text also includes an overview of the history of spiritual teachers from the time of the Prophet ﷺ down to the present day, the role of such relationships in da'wah, the responsibilities and potential pitfalls of establishing such a connection, and other related issues.

About Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz

Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, tracing his lineage back through a well-known family in the Hadhramaut region of Yemen, where his ancestors have been influential scholars and spiritual guides for centuries. He was born in 1963 in Tarim, a historic center of Islamic learning, and faced persecution during the communist regime in South Yemen, but continued his religious studies in secret. After the regime fell, he founded Dar al-Mustafa in 1993, which has since become a major center for Islamic scholarship, attracting students from all over the world. Habib ‘Umar is recognized for his deep spiritual insight and dedication to spreading Islam’s message through teaching, outreach, and community service. His influence extends globally through his lectures, writings, and extensive travel, promoting the values of mercy, humility, and unity.

From the work, "Any person who has had any engagement with the topic at hand, or possesses the slightest degree of understanding, will be aware of the great esteem in which Allah Exalted holds our Prophet ﷺ. He singled him out for virtues and qualities too numerous to quantify, and any attempt to do so would exhaust tongues and pens.

We can glimpse the honouring of the Almighty for His Prophet ﷺ from that which is stated in His Book, that which He informs us of his elevated positions, and that which He praises of his character. He encourages His slaves to hold tight to the way of the Prophet ﷺ and to join him in obeying His Commands. Allah ﷻ is the One who favoured His Prophet ﷺ [above all creation], then purified him, then praised him on account of that, and finally rewarded him with the greatest reward. To Him belongs Grace in beginning and returning, and to Him belongs Praise and Gratitude in this world and the next.

He presented His Prophet ﷺ to His creation in the most complete and perfect form, and distinguished him with beautiful characteristics and a praiseworthy manner. He had a noble way and was blessed with innumerable virtues. Furthermore, Allah Exalted supported him with the ability to perform astounding miracles and deliver irrefutable signs. These were witnessed by his contemporaries and Companions and their knowledge was passed down to those who came after them, until the understanding of this reality reached us and we were overwhelmed with his light. May the abundant praise and salutations of Allah be upon our Prophet ﷺ."

Al-Shifā bi Taʿrīf Ḥuqūq al-Muṣṭafā, directly translated as, ‘The Remedy (or Cure) Through Recognizing the Rights of the Chosen One’, is one of the most celebrated works in the genre of Shamā’il. It stands uniquely amongst the works of Qāḍī ʿIyād as his most celebrated effort with many surviving manuscripts and commentaries found throughout the Islamic world. Shamā’il is a genre of works that deals with the life, characteristics, and descriptions of the Prophet ﷺ and his station.

Al-Shifā, as it is called for short, stands alone as perhaps the most thorough work in this genre, dealing with both the descriptions of the Prophet ﷺ, his station and his perfections, and with the rulings pertaining to one’s belief and treatment of him ﷺ. It is exhaustive in its treatment of the subject, expounding on topics that range from Allah’s praise of the Prophet ﷺ and his status and station before Him, to the obligation of loving him and what that entails. In short, the uniqueness of this work can be attributed to its holistic coverage of the Messenger ﷺ.

Studying the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is a time-honored means for those who have responded to his call and believed in his Prophethood to reinforce their love for him, to renew their efforts to perform righteous actions, and to increase in faith (īmān).

Actions performed by the Prophets described as miracles are termed as such because humans are otherwise incapable of doing them. There are two types of miracles: the first type is an action that humans are theoretically able to do, but Allah has made impossible for them as a means of confirming the truthfulness of His Prophet ﷺ. The second type of miracle are those actions outside of a human’s ability. These are miracles that no-one would be able to perform except for Allah.

Out of all the Prophets, the final Messenger ﷺ was sent with the greatest number of miracles, the most magnificent signs, and the clearest proofs. The miracles of the Prophet ﷺ were innumerable. In fact, if one chose just one of those miracles, namely the Qur’an, they would never be able to count the thousands of extraordinary signs contained within it.

In this collection - one of many collections of 40 hadith which he compiled - the great Palestinian scholar Imam Yusuf al-Nabahani strings together a majestic and awe-inspiring collection of hadith that leave the reader astonished by the miraculous nature and life of the Beloved of Allah ﷺ. Among their many benefits, these miracles both confirmed his Prophethood and also proved his honesty.

This edition includes Arabic text with full vowels and the English translation.

About the Author

Imam Yusuf al-Nabhani (1849-1932) was a Palestinian scholar. After his initial studies in his locality, he studied in al-Azhar, Egypt, between 1866 and 1872, where he studied the Islamic disciplines with numerous prominent scholars. He also spent a few years researching and publishing in Istanbul. He served as a chief judge in Jerusalem and then Beirut.

After living in Medina for some time, he returned to Beirut and later passed away there in the beginning of the month of Ramadan. He has left a vast collection of works, on a variety of subjects, but many are focused on the character and being of the Prophet ﷺ.

Studying the life and character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is a time-honored tradition maintained for centuries upon centuries by Muslims around the world.

The science of Taṣawwuf is the cornerstone of spirituality, and its practice guides the seeker toward sincerity, self-purification, and nearness to Allāh. This abridgment of Sheikh Aḥmad Zarrūq's The Principles of Taṣawwuf (Qawāʿid al-Taṣawwuf) presents the core principles of Tasawwuf in a systematic manner, with unparalleled clarity.

In this work, the illustrious author distills forty essential principles, or qawāʿid, from his larger work. Taken together, these forty principles allow the reader to gain a proper understanding of Taṣawwuf, and thus to navigate the intricate interplay of īmān, practice (ʿamal), and self-awareness. Although Taṣawwuf has often been misrepresented and misunderstood - in the author's time as well as our own - Sheikh Aḥmad Zarrūq helps us to situate this science in its proper context, in seamless connection with Islamic jurisprudence and theology. The text affirms unequivocally that true spiritual realization is only attainable through sound understanding of the Sharīʿah and ʿAqidah, and vice versa. Thus, true Islam is found in the holistic unity of outward adherence and inward sincerity.

Some key themes of this text include:

• The relationship between faith, jurisprudence, and spirituality
• The perils of extremism in worship and the necessity of balance in religious practice
• The conditions for sincerity in remembrance (dhikr), and the transformative power of seeking Allah through His remembrance
• The role of mentorship and the necessity of a guide on the spiritual path
• Humility, ethical conduct, and adherence to the prophetic way in dealing with oneself and others

In an era of spiritual confusion and material distraction, this text provides a framework to attain clarity, and to attain sincerity in faith while fully engaged with the practical realities of everyday life. Qawāʿid al-Taṣawwuf is as relevant today as it was centuries ago, and this abridgement makes it more accessible accessible to modern readers.

This new bilingual abridgment, with commentary based on the author's writings, renders the wisdom of Sheikh Aḥmad Zarrūq more accessible to a modern audience, preserving the essential framework of his thought while elegantly outlining and clarifying its nuances for contemporary readers.

Sidi Aḥmad Zarrūq

Shaykh Aḥmad Zarrūq (d. 899 AH / 1493 CE) was a renowned Moroccan scholar, jurist, and Sufi master from the city of Fez. Known as “Muṣliḥ al-Ṣūfiyyah” (The Reformer of the Sufis), his works combine Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), theology (ʿaqīdah), and spirituality (taṣawwuf), emphasizing the harmony between outward practice and inward sincerity. A follower of the Mālikī school of jurisprudence, he authored over 40 works, with his Qawāʿid al-Taṣawwuf (Principles of Sufism) being among the most celebrated. He was a staunch advocate of adhering to the Qurʾān, Sunnah, and early Islamic tradition, while warning against innovations and excesses in spirituality.

All students will receive a PDF ebook of Shaykh Hamzah's translation of the Tahawiyyah. 

"The Eternal Creed" is a concise, engaging, and eminently practical discussion of the 'Aqidah Tahawiyyah, perhaps the most widely accepted 'aqidah text in the history of the Ummah. This course is designed to help modern believers to gain a firm grounding, comfort, and certainty in the core beliefs of Islam in the most condensed and focused manner possible.

"The Eternal Creed" has been Imam Ghazali Institute's flagship course for nearly a decade. Starting in mid-2010, Shaykh Hamzah has taught the 'Aqidah Tahawiyyah in dozens of communities in over ten different countries across five continents, transforming the lives of thousands of students.

Ultimately, knowledge of the "The Eternal Creed" allows students to draw on the Sunni 'Aqidah as a source of guidance and strength, as well as intellectual and spiritual order. A firm grounding in the Sunni creed allows us to practice our religion with certainty, and this certainty of belief, in turn, allows us to emulate Prophetic practices in all areas of life. This course is suitable for any mature Muslim.

This course will include the following:

• Ten live sessions held via Zoom
• A complete khatm of the text 
• Time for Q&A in each class session 
• Course ebook based on Shaykh Hamzah's new translation of the 'Aqidah Tahawiyyah
• Access to recordings of all class sessions
• Invitation to a private Telegram chat with the instructor to facilitate discussion and Q&A

Muslims speak of Islam in egalitarian terms: the religion of peace, the religion that seeks to elevate man over his base desires, the religion that does not discriminate based on race and ethnicity. Despite the egalitarian spirit of Islam, the lived reality of many Muslims is very different, and this is most apparent when we observe how Muslims deal with race and ethnicity.

Muslims who are Black in the West in particular, have found that while Islam may not discriminate based on race, many Muslims do. To make matters worse, some of those Muslims will delve in to the Islamic tradition to justify their biases and bigotries, seeing no contradiction between their racism and the Islamic ideals.

This work seeks to clarify and debunk some traditions which support their racist positions, and presents biographies of early Muslims who were Black. The biographies of these great Muslim personalities shows us how Blackness was a normal part of life for early Muslims, in sharp contradistinction to modern prejudices against Black folks found in some Muslim communities.

“Imam Dawud Walid’s life’s work – in his previous publications, in the present volume and over the decade that I have known him – commends him as a soldier against satanic racism and especially its most perfect historical expression: white supremacy. This volume, by framing a religious response to what must be understood as a satanic spiritual attack, should be widely read and taught.”
