Abū Zakariyyā Muḥyi'd-dīn Yaḥyā ibn Sharaf an-Nawawī (631 AH/1233 CE - 676 AH/1277 CE) was an exemplary scholar of the hadith, Ash'arī kalām and the Shāfi'ī madhhab, noted for his commentary on Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, his collection of Forty Hadith, the Riyāḍ aṣ-Ṣāliḥīn, the Adhkār, which is a collection of dhikr and du'ā from the Qur'ān and the hadith, and a number of other significant works.

The Garden of the Gnostics (Bustān al-'Ārifīn) is Imam an-Nawawī's work on taṣawwuf, drawing as is his wont on the Qur'ān, with careful choice of hadith, and the sayings of the first generations (salaf) and eminent later people.

Aisha Bewley is the translator of a large number of classical works of Islam and Sufism, often in collaboration with Abdalhaqq Bewley, notably The Noble Qur'an - a New Rendering of Its Meanings in English; Muhammad, Messenger of Allah - the translation of Qāḍī 'Iyāḍ's ash-Shifā'; the Muwaṭṭa' of Imam Mālik ibn Anas; and Imam an-Nawawī's Riyāḍ aṣ-Ṣāliḥīn.

The Gardens of Sabais a beautifully illustrated and creatively written story of the rise and fall of the people of Saba, in ancient Yemen. It reminds us that we should always be thankful to Allah for His blessings and never become arrogant and proud over our success.

St. Paul hijacked some of the preaching of Jesus, distorted it with pagan doctrine and hijacked by Constantine and Romanize with the Roman sun-god of the cult of Sollvinctus to form the basic doctrine of modern Christianity. This is the cause of the differences between the conception of God in Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

The question of whether hogs should be used for food involves a mix of nutritional, safety, and, in some cases, religious or dietary, considerations. While pork is the second most commonly consumed meat worldwide, with domesticated hogs being a major source of bacon and ham, there are arguments against it. For instance, the book "The Hog: Should It Be Used for Food?" by C. Leonard Vories discusses arguments against eating pork based on biblical and medical reasons.

The Quran, a book which brings glad tidings to mankind along with divine admonition, stresses the importance of man's discovery of truth on both spiritual and intellectual planes. Every book has its objective and the objective of the Quran is to make man aware of the Creation plan of God. That is, to tell man why God created this world; what the purpose is of settling man on earth; what is required from man in his pre-death life span, and what he is going to confront after death. The purpose of the Quran is to make man aware of this reality, thus serving to guide man on his entire journey through life into the after-life. The main themes of the Quran are enlightenment, closeness to God, peace and spirituality. The Quran uses several terms, tawassum, tadabbur, and tafakkur, which indicate the learning of lessons through reflection, thinking and contemplation on the signs of God scattered across the world. The present translation of the Quran and its explanatory notes are written keeping in mind these very themes.

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.
