The first book to pick up for study is the constitution of Islam: The Quran. Read the Quran from Mushaf (The Arabic Quran). If you cannot read, listen to the recitation and try to grasp the message of the Quran by reading the translation of the Quran. The most popular and the most exact translation of the Quran in English is the Quran by MAS Abdul Halem. It is loved by the people who read it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another one in this list is the Meaning of the Holy Quran<\/em> by Yahya Emerick. Emerick\u2019s Quran is not the exact translation of the Quran, but it helps you grasp the subject as his explanation is in simple English written for school children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/connect.muslimpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-meaning-of-the-holy-quran.jpg” title_text=”the meaning of the holy quran” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_cta button_url=”#TOP” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”|700|||||||” header_font_size=”44px” header_line_height=”1.5em” body_font=”Noto Sans||||||||” body_font_size=”17px” use_background_color=”off” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”17px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#ff6b5a” button_border_width=”5px” button_border_color=”#ff6b5a” button_border_radius=”100px” button_font=”Noto Sans|700||on|||||” button_use_icon=”off” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|-18px||||” custom_padding=”|0px||||” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”34px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” button_text_color_hover=”#ffffff” button_border_color_hover=”#ff9e59″ button_bg_color_hover=”#ff9e59″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_color__hover=”#ff9e59″ button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#ff9e59″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This book helps me learn about topics in a particular Surah and the story of the background verses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Biography of Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa, When you read about the role model Allah sent to guide us, you realize that there was a Prophet like us (human) who lived to all the commands of Allah.

I have read it several times. It is one of those books you must have on your bookshelf for a quality reading.<\/p>\n
It covers all aspects of life. I have read it and have found it very useful. The author of Minhaj Al-Muslim (The Way of a Muslim) was the great scholar, Abu Bakr Jabir Al-Jaza\u2019ri. He held the prestige of being a regular lecturer at the Prophet\u2019s Mosque in Al-Madinah. His way of teaching was very simple and his lectures find a place in the minds and hearts of people.<\/p>\n
It covers every aspect of Islamic belief and moral conduct. It selects approximately 2000 hadith from the six major collections: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, An-Nisai, and Ibn Majah. It serves as an excellent hadith primer and daily reader. Wide range of topics: sincerity of purpose, spending in the way of Allah, rules of fasting, seeking knowledge, attending funerals, and safeguarding the Quran. It has Arabic text as well as the English translation.<\/p>\n
