The original work in Arabic was a unique milestone with a fresh approach in presenting the topic - and we are proud to present before the reader, the new abridged English version of it. The intent behind the compilation of the book was clearly noted by the author, and he stated, \"I did not come across a book (on prayer) that covered the topic comprehensively, so I felt obliged to produce a book that collected together as many features of the Prophet's prayer (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as possible, from the takbeer (opening of the prayer) to the tasleem (concluding of the prayer)...\"   He further asserted his preferred methodology employed in the book, by adopting strict principles of adhering to the authentic Sunnah, and the difficult task he was faced in ensuring that. It has thus developed into a study text, and a valuable primer setting a standard in reviving the method of our prayer - and becoming a means in perfecting our servitude towards Allah in the Prophetic manner.   It is our hope that this new English rendering will ensure an earnest continuation in helping Muslims who wish to follow the guidance of their Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) in their daily worship. And that the utilization of this work becomes a catalyst for those who truly love the Prophet (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him) in fulfilling his command to, \"Pray as you have seen me praying.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darus Sunnah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19999676465265,"sku":"9781904336457","price":22.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3290\/4561\/products\/description-of-the-prophets-prayer-darussalam-islamic-bookstore-australia-dsbooks_2.jpg?v=1660621739"},{"product_id":"seeds-of-admonishment-and-reform","title":"Seeds Of Admonishment And Reform","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe author penned this rare and deeply thought-provoking work with remarkable prose, accompanied with intense imagery designed to impart profound points of benefit harvested from the Quran and Suunah\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the fifth instalment in the book series, of the illustrious and inimitable scholar of the sixth century Hijri, Imam Ibn al-jawzi, May Allah mercy upon him. The author penned this rare and deeply thought-provoking work with remarkable prose, accompanied with intense imagery designed to impart profound points of benefit harvested from the Quran and Suunah. His lessons are uniquely arranged and gleam with exquisite expressions- deigned to council the intellect to reflect, and heart to reform.  Being a timely translation, its message reflects the challenge of the human condition that continues to divert mankind with the blinding effect of this transient and material world – and bring back the real focus on mankind’s purpose and responsibility on earth.  In Fadail al-Dhikr, Ibn Jawzi wrote that one of the Salaf said \"O son of Adam! You need your share in this life, but need your share in the Hereafter even more. If you (only) took care of your share in this life, then you will lose your share in the Hereafter and are soon bound to lose your share in this life too. However if you took care of your share in the Hereafter, you will also win your full share in this life with ease\".  The Author has extracted from an array of topics what will jolt the hearts and moisten the eyes, while strengthening the resolve to return to Allah and aspire for loftier goals to succeed in this life and the next. And there is no might or power, except with Allah.  224 Pages P\/B\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darus Sunnah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19999679021169,"sku":"9781904336396","price":22.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3290\/4561\/products\/seeds-of-admonishment-and-reform-darussalam-islamic-bookstore-australia-dsbooks_2.jpg?v=1660182986"},{"product_id":"ranks-of-the-fearful","title":"Ranks of the Fearful","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this short book, he brings disquieting realities of fearing Allah in a unique perspective; elucidating some profound insight into the topic, its reality and merits, types and levels and cures that bring about fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllah, the Most High, has praised those who possess the attribute of a heightened sense of fear Saying,  \"And such (are the believers) who are humbled by the fear of their Lord...\" [Al Muminun, 57]    And He also Said: \"... fear Me alone, if you are believers.\" [Ali' Imran, 175]    The element of fear exists within mankind in varying degrees. When the fear of Allah is  established in the hearts, it eliminates wrongdoing and attachment to worldly desires. It is a  light that navigates a person through sin and temptation, and when this fear is removed, it  easily leads them astray - for surely true and praiseworthy fear is being vigilant from  transgressing the limits of Allah. Yet when fear exceeds its proper boundary, it gives rise to  hopelessness and despair, which is equally blameworthy. The attribute of fear therefore, is  not the end goal itself, but a means towards a successful end.    'Al-Khawf ' is from the smaller works of Imam Ibn Qudamah, who is better known for  authoring major authoritative treatises of Hanbali jurisprudence and doctrine. In this short  book, he brings disquieting realities of fearing Allah in a unique perspective; elucidating  some profound insight into the topic, its reality and merits, types and levels and cures that  bring about fear.

A person’s heart could be overflowing with it yet be oblivious of it due to its hidden and subtle nature; frequently does it lead a person to think they are acting rightly when in reality he is spreading corruption. It is of two types: major and minor; majority hypocrisy leads to eternal punishment in the lowest depths of Hell; it is to outwardly display faith in Allah, His Angles, His Books, His Messengers, and the last Day whereas inwardly one is devoid of such belief, indeed disbelieving in it. They do not believe that Allah spoke to a man amongst men who He appointed to be Messenger: guiding them by His permission and warning them of His punishments.  In the Qur’an, Allah has revealed the intrigues of the hypocrites, He has unveiled their belief, their qualities, and made their goals clear so that the believers can be aware of them. He divided mankind into three groups in the beginning of Surah al-Baqarah: the believer, the disbeliever, and hypocrite. He mentioned four verses concerning the believers, two concerning the disbelievers, and thirteen verses concerning the hypocrites, due to their plenitude and the great harm and tribulation they bring to Islam and the Muslims. The harm they cause to Islam is truly sever for they claim to be Muslims, they claim to aid and support Islam, whereas in reality they are its enemies seeking to destroy it from within, covertly spreading their corruption and ignorance such that the unwary thinks that what they are upon is knowledge and right action.

This treatise has been extracted from the opening words of Shaykh Nasir as-Sa`di, may Allah have mercy upon him, to his tafsir of the Qur'an, Taysir al-Karim alRahmdn, in which he succinctly and beautifully explains those Names of Allah that occur in the Qur'an. After each explanation the translator has added some verses of the Qur'an showing the usage of the particular Name in question. It should also be noted that the author, may Allah have mercy upon him, has only mentioned those Names that occur in the Qur'an and these come to a total of eighty-nine in his view.  Additional Names mentioned in the Qur'an have been added from the work of ibn `Uthayman, Qawd'idu-l-Muthla f Sjti A1Mhi wa Asma hi-l-Husnd, bringing the total to one hundred and three.  Before proceeding to the treatise some general principles with regards the Names of Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent are presented.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darus Sunnah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19999949095025,"sku":"9781904336242","price":19.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3290\/4561\/products\/explanation-to-the-beautiful-and-perfect-names-of-allah-darussalam-islamic-bookstore-australia-dsbooks_2.jpg?v=1660095308"},{"product_id":"friends-of-allah-the-friends-of-shaytan","title":"Friends Of Allah \u0026 The Friends Of Shaytan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Decisive Criterion between the Awliyaa of The Most Merciful and the Awliyaa of Shaytaan Indeed the enmity between man and Shaytaan is old, commencing from the time that Adam (alayhi as-salaam) was created � from the time he was ordered to prostrate to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Decisive Criterion between the Awliyaa of The Most Merciful and the Awliyaa of Shaytaan Indeed the enmity between man and Shaytaan is old, commencing from the time that Adam (alayhi as-salaam) was created � from the time he was ordered to prostrate to him.

The prudent one understands this great reality and prepares for its eventuality. Untold number of humanity has passed through the stages of death; and current generations will be replaced by future generations. 'The best of believers are those with best manners. And the smartest are those who remember death often; and the astute are those who readily prepare it. Those are the smartest.' [Silsilat as-Sahihah; 1384] Some of the scholars used to say; 'Those who often remember death; Allah honours them with three: Their repentance is expedited; Their heart is given satisfaction and; Their worship is energised. And those who forget remembering death are afflicted with three: Their repentance is postponed; Their contentment is stripped and; Their worship is neglected. Therefore one of the finest aids in remembering and preparing for death is seeking forgiveness for one's sins and shortcomings. Allah The Most High Said; 'Say; 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves; do not despair of the Mercy of Allah. Indeed; Allah forgives all sins. Indeed; it is He who is the Forgiving; the Merciful.'' [Al-Zumar (39): 53] In the noble Prophetic guidance; the Messenger of Allah (saw) said the leading du'a (invocation) by which forgiveness should be sought is called 'Sayyid Al-Istighfar'. It is composed of special words with profound meanings; which the Prophet keenly taught his 'Ummah. He (saw) said; 'Whoever reads it during the day with firm faith in it and dies on the same day before the evening; he will be from the people of Paradise. And whoever reads it at night with firm faith in it and dies before the morning; he will be from the people of Paradise.' [Al-Bukhari; 6306] Before you dear reader is a small contemporary work explaining the immense benefits of 'Sayyid Al-Istighfar'. It should be memorised by every Muslim and its meanings understood and internalised for heightened impact and gain. The author (may Allah bless him) breaks down the du'a; elucidating its beautiful composition correctly; and explaining the meaning of repentance; its importance and Allah's Love for those who turn to Him in true repentance. Beseeching Allah for forgiveness is amongst the greatest means in getting close to Him and attaining His Pleasure in this world and the Hereafter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Darus Sunnah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20000431636593,"sku":"9781904336235","price":17.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3290\/4561\/products\/the-greatest-invocation-for-forgiveness-darussalam-islamic-bookstore-australia-dsbooks_2.jpg?v=1660184080"},{"product_id":"the-purification-of-tawhid-from-the-filth-of-deviation","title":"The Purification of Tawhid from the Filth of Deviation","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent times, a deviation has appeared amongst some Muslim communities whereby they show veneration, to an extreme, of Muslims saints and righteous personages; they erect mausoleums on their graves, they go to them in times of need and adversity, they supplicate to them and they hold beliefs concerning them that border on the superstitious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent times, a deviation has appeared amongst some Muslim communities whereby they show veneration, to an extreme, of Muslims saints and righteous personages; they erect mausoleums on their graves, they go to them in times of need and adversity, they supplicate to them and they hold beliefs concerning them that border on the superstitious.

The Dua of Dhun-Nun (Yunus) by which he invoked Allah from within the belly of the whale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah sanctify his soul, was asked about the saying of the Prophet (pbuh), The invocation of my brother Yunus, “none has the right to be worshipped save You; glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers,” none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah would relieve him of his difficulty. What is the meaning of this du’a (prayer, supplication)? Are their any unstated conditions that have to be met when one articulates it? What is the connection between belief in the heart and the meaning of this supplication such that it leads to the removal of difficulty? Why did he explicitly confess, ‘I have been amongst the wrong-doers’ when it is known that tawhid in itself leads to the removal of difficulty? Is it sufficient to acknowledge ones’ sin alone, or must this be accompanied by repentance and the firm resolve not to repeat that sin in the future? Why is it that difficulty and harm is removed only when a person relinquishes any hope, reliance and dependency upon the creation? How can the heart relinquish the characteristic of putting hope in the creation and depending on them, and instead put its hope in Allah, Exalted is He, and turn to Him in its entirety? What are the methods that would aid the heart in doing this? The author replies to these questions in the form of this book. The Prophet Yunus (?alayhi as-Salam) spent many years calling his people to worship Allah alone, and to abandon their sinful ways. Only few people believed in his message; finally in despair, Yunus supplicated to Allah that His punishment descends upon his nation. He was commanded by Allah to preach to his people for a further forty days, when three days remained he proclaimed amongst his people that punishment would afflict them in three days and he fled. His people gathered together and agreed that Yunus was a person who was not known to lie, and when they saw that he had indeed fled, they became certain of the imminent punishment and repented, so Allah forgave them and showed them mercy. When Yunus came to know that Allah forgave his people, fearing disgrace and being called a liar, he embarked upon a ship, before long the ship was overcome with bad weather, as a result he was thrown into the sea, he was swallowed by a huge whale. In the stomach of the whale he called upon his Lord in pitch darkness, ?There is none worthy of worship save You! Glory be to You, far removed are You from my any imperfection; I have been among the wrongdoers.? Allah responded to him and rescued him from his grief, and the whale spews him out onto the beach. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, ?The dua of my brother Yunus, ?None has the right to be worshiped save You; glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers,? none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah would relieve him of his difficulty. The author explains this supplication in the form of this book in extensive detail and its significance. This is an extremely beneficial work explaining this very powerful dua and how it can remove harm, difficulties, worries, stress, anxiety and much more. This great work will benefit every reader and empower them to call upon their Lord in the best of forms, even at the most difficult of times. It is the most detailed work on this great supplication in English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darus Sunnah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20001062355057,"sku":"9781904336136","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3290\/4561\/products\/the-relief-from-distress-darussalam-islamic-bookstore-australia-dsbooks.jpg?v=1660623711"},{"product_id":"the-virtues-of-good-actions","title":"The Virtues of Good Actions","description":"\u003cp\u003e“So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord — let him do righteous actions and not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord.” – Surat al-Kahf 18:110\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord -- let him do righteous actions and not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord.\" - Surat al-Kahf 18:110\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darus Sunnah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20001073725553,"sku":"953647684","price":11.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3290\/4561\/products\/the_virtues_of_g_4d7450a3cae17.jpg?v=1544173112"},{"product_id":"the-heavenly-dispute","title":"The Heavenly Dispute","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is an important commentary on the noble hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) that was recorded in the collection of Sunan Tirmidhi relating the dispute among the chief angels of the Highest Heaven.
