Haj – Hanafiy & Shafi’iy R99.99
Every Muslim is enjoined to perform Haj at least once in a lifetime when he/she is by the means to undertake such a journey. Today the cost of completing this journey is quite substantial, and it is, therefore, sensible to perform the rites of Haj correctly as intended by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
This comprehensive and in-depth publication expounds the manner and method of performing the rites of both Haj and ‘Umrah by both the Shafi’i and Hanafi schools of thought. It discusses in detail the history of Haj and its directive, virtues, compulsion, when it became far, the excellence of Makkah and its grade above Madinah. It further discusses each and every principle and action of Haj from the niyah, the donning of the ihram and its ramifications, the rules for the correctness of Haj, the rules of tawaf, the sa-‘im, the sunnan of wuqoof, its wajibaat and its significance. The rites to perform during the five actual days of Haj and the pelting of the Jamaraat as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed it are discussed in detail. Added benefits are the detailing of subjects such as the origin of zam-zam, qasr (shortening the salah) Salah, the joining of two prayers, the hadee and the Qurban, visiting the grave of the Prophet and the graves of his Companions.
The du’ahs for all the rites are provided both in Arabic and in English. The discussion of celebrating Eid-ul-Adha with Makkah has been added, detailing the dispute, the sighting of the new moon, the fatwa (judgement) from the Shaykhul-Azhar (Head of the Al-Azhar University in Cairo), the universal Islamic calendar and the conclusion.
Numerous Qur-’anic texts and Ahadith are cited to prove to the reader that there exists only one way of performing Haj and that is the correct way.
Excerpt
“Righteousness can only be attained if we follow and observe the principles which lead to righteousness. To perform a righteous Haj we must first know the meaning of the word Haj, its purpose, significance and the rules and regulations of these rites rather than being obsessed about performing the rites. Haj in effect is man’s evolution to Allah…It is a time of self-discovery.”

Sale!Living Where We Don’t Make The Rules R300.00
This work operates from the premise that today, 90 percent of countries worldwide have significant minorities that constitute at least ten percent of their populations. One in four Muslims lives in minority situations in almost every part of the world. Some have assimilated and forfeited their practices and identities in order to ‘belong’ while others have isolated themselves with others who share their language, national origin, culture or religion. But there are also Muslims who have been able to manage both their Islamic identity and other elements of identity that come with their new places of residence.
Living Where We Don’t Make the Rules is a guide that in pursuing the third option — balances theoretical rigour with practical direction. It includes the lived experience of those on the forefront of living as minorities, but also the scholarship of those who apply the synthesis of Islam’s timeless values, norms and principles, with the exigencies of the frontiers where Muslims find themselves in. It provides leadership that can guide everyday life, manage our faith, direct partnerships with fellow citizens and campaigns for inclusivity.

The Laws pertaining to Mosques in Islam R99.99
Every Muslim is a congregant of some mosque and as a result, becomes involved in its affairs either directly or indirectly. Since most mosques are governed by or have a Western-orientated constitution, this book examines its constitutionality from an Islamic perspective and, assesses its validity as a guide to administering the affairs of a mosque.
Abdurraghiem Hasan Sallie explains the Shariah’s (Islamic Law) guide to good mosque governance, its laws and how to implement them. The principle of consultation (Shura) is impressed upon, without fail, in all discussions, agreements and disagreements. The author uses practical examples from the Sunnah (practices of the Prophet Muhammad) as historical background to the laws about mosques in Islam. In particular, Sallie outlines how the four great mosques in Islam were established and expels myths about the Ka’bah.
Keeping simple but functional structures is encouraged, and not over-beautifying is clarified under discussion on the construction and utilisation of mosques. The book, from the viewpoint of the Four Major Schools of Thought in Islam (Madha-hib), offers guidance on appointing an Imam (religious leader) and its criteria, the purpose and sanctity of a mosque, the mosque as a community centre, the financial administration of a mosque, and the mosque as waqf (communal property).
Excerpt
The mosque is the forum where Muslims are kept informed about local, foreign, environmental, socio-economic, political and world affairs. Here matters of policy are discussed, resolved and disseminated. A veritable host of statements relates that the Prophet’s The mosque served variously as the seat of government, a prison, a court of law, the Treasury, a school, a welfare centre, war office, and for every other matter affecting the socio-economic or religious affairs of its citizens.
Every mosque, constructed the world over, becomes the living heart of its Muslim community. It is a very important symbol of Islam and of pivotal importance to the Islamic system to perform congregational prayers and to propagate the religion. Facing the Qiblah in the mosque provides a Muslim not only with a spiritual direction but also with a social and moral direction. This place of worship is where the concept of equality and fraternity is propagated and practised as preached by Islam.

A Journey Through the World of Belief R129.99
Monotheism (Tauhid)—the Oneness of God (Allah)—is the very essence of Islam, encompassing the Muslim’s core belief system.
This 377-page book explores, investigates and details the concept of Islamic monotheism: What God can and cannot be, that which is impossible and permissible on Him, His undisputed attributes and Inner-Self, how to know God, and the Universe’s genesis.
The book further investigates why Allah’s existence is wajib, the concept of iman (faith) and what it means, how man’s actions affect his reward and retribution in this world and the after-life. Deeper universal subjects that still perplex mankind such as Qada and Qadr (fate and destiny) are also explored – from an Islamic perspective. This extensive study, which also details the historical background to the rise of certain sects in Islam and their belief systems, such as the Shia, Khawarij, Asha-‘irah and Mu’tazilites is certified and endorsed by the al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, for its clarity of content.
An easy to follow glossary makes this, yet another publication by Shaikh Abdurraghiem Hasan Sallie, appealing to readers across denominations.
Excerpt
“This science is wajib (necessary) for every male and female to study. It is also the duty of every parent, teacher and spiritual guide, to ensure that children are taught this science so that they would be able to base their principles of life on the tenets of tauhid. Tauhid should be taught at the level of comprehension and perception of the child and student. Naturally, the degree of difficulty of the subject matter will be taught at the level of the individual’s mental development. This must be the most important issue in every Muslim’s life and in every Muslim home. It is more important than salah, hajj, fasting and all other forms of worship because no act of worship is accepted by Allah if we have false beliefs that result due to lack of tauhid.” -
