Islam should study these books, for they are the
authentic source of God’s religion. Here is a
comprehensive course for those who do not have
time to study them all:
1. The Holy Qur’an
2.
Sirat ibn Kathir
(Biography of the Prophet) by
Ibn Kathir
3. Hadith,
Mishkat al-Masabih
4.
Hayat as-Sahabah
(Life of the Companions) by
Muhammad Yusuf Kandhalvi
These are well-known and easily—obtainable
books. Though originally written in Arabic, they
have been translated and published in several
languages. They can be acquired and read in the
language of one’s choice.
This essay has been prepared with a general and
fundamental understanding of the divine way in
mind. If it imbues the reader with a desire to study
religion in more detail and delve deeper into reality,
then it will have been worthwhile.
