For the first time ever in English, after years of painstaking efforts at Dar-us-Salam, Sunan An-Nasa'i & Jami' At-Tirmidhi are now available,
both complete in 6 volumes!
Like the other translations of the six books of hadith, Dar-us-Salam, has taken great care in correct translation, simple and clear modern
English language and high quality publishing.
These translations by Dar-us-Salam Publications have several advantages including:
- A final verdict about the authenticity of every hadith (in parentheses at end of every hadith) by the committee of scholars at Dar-us-Salam
- Comments in English after many ahadith to explain unclear points and to further explain the hadith
- Translation from old manuscripts of hadith to get the most authentic version
- Revision by three different levels of scholars to get as close to the original meaning
- Arabic and English side by side for easy access
- As always on all Dar-us-Salam books, the paper quality, binding, design and the print are unmatched. Alhamdulillah

Sunan An-Nasai has the fewest weak ahadith after the two Sahih collections. This Sunan is one of the six in al-Mujtaba or as-Sunan as-Sughara,
which is a synopsis of a large collection of ahadith which he considered to be fairly reliable. In the smaller collection, only those ahadith which he considered to be reliable have been included.
It was compiled by the great scholar of hadith, Abu Abdur-Rahman Ahmad bin Shu’aib bin Bahr An-Nasai (Nasa’ of Khurasan) (214-303AH).
Imam An-Nasai, like other great scholars of hadith traveled to Baghdad, Ash-Sham, Egypt, Mecca, and many other cities to seek knowledge.
He received the praises of many scholars including Ad-Daraqutni who said about him: “He is given preference over all others who are mentioned with this knowledge from the people of his time”.
Some scholars consider his compilation to have the least number of defective or weak narrations among the four Sunan. This great book of his contains 5761 ahadith, making it as an invaluable addition to anyone’s library. |

Jami At-Tirmidhi is one of the classical books of hadith that was compiled by 279AH when it's compiler and the great Muhadith, Muhammad ibn Isa ibn Surah At-Tirmidhi (209-279AH),
passed away.
He was a special student of the great scholar of hadith, Imam Bukhari. He, like other great muhaditheen of our salaf, traveled a lot and quoted from many shuyukh. With 3956 ahadith,
Jami' At-Tirmidi is an invaluable addition to any person's library of hadith collection.
Imam Abu Ismail `Abdullah bin Muhammad Al-Ansari in Harrah said about this book: `To me, his book is better than the book of Al-Bukhari and that of Muslim. Because only one
who is an expert in knowledge can arrive at the benefit of the books of Al-Bukhari and Muslim, whereas in the case of the book of Abu `Eisa,
every one of the people can reach its benefit." |

The ARABIC COURSE for English-Speaking students is a comprehensive and popular course for the
teaching of the Qura'anic and Traditional Arabic, originally devised and taught at the renowned Madinah Islamic University
catering for the non-Arabic speaking students from all over the world. Over the years, this course has enabled students to become
competent in their use of the Arabic language and to participate and benefit from scholarly pursuits such as Qur'anic exegesis,
hadith, fiqh, serah, history, and classical and modern Arabic literature.
This 3 volume revised edition by Dar-us-Salam has been produced in the best quality possible with
full color pages. Apart from having full color images, the color variation in the text help distinguish & highlight specific details
for emphasis. All three volumes now contain the English lessons which previously consisted only in the first volume before. The right
side of the book starts with the Arabic while the left starts with the English lesson. |

This book carries the biography of the master of the Muhaddithin, the foremost of the righteous
scholars, the lofty Imam, Abu Al-Husayn Muslim bin Al-Hajjaj. He has firmly taken his place in the hearts of men and a position of
prominence amongst the scholars. His book Sahih Muslim reached such a level of authenticity and precision that it is surpassed only
by the Book of Allah Himself. The author sheds light in detail on his life and works which he carried out for the guidance of the
Muslim Ummah. |

Science has never been separate from Islam. Objective study of this subject will reveal that Islamic texts - Qur'an and the
Sunnah, provided a tremendous boost for study of the physical world and the laws that govern it. As a result, discoveries and
inventions became the hallmarks of the Islamic civilization.
Recently there has been a surge in the number of publications dealing with science and its relationship with Islam. These books
have focused on the various verses on the Qur'an that point to the physical world to prove that science is compatible with Islam.
However, areas that are not covered enough for the English reader are the historical development of science and technology in the
Muslim world, and the factors that led to its rise and decline. The decline has been so severe, that today's Muslims are not even
aware that their ancestors were the founding fathers of modern sciences. Just consider the common Arabic words used in the English
language today like cotton, algebra, aorta, alcohol, chemistry, earth and alkaline. They are a living testimony to the pioneering
work of the Muslims. |

This reference tool, which is a humble attempt to place before the English-speaking Muslim children a number of basic Islamic
teachings and concepts, is primarily aimed at children of age ten years and over and presents topics in an easy-to-use alphabetical
format. It also covers a wide range of topics and features cross-references which draw attention to related subjects.
The definitions cover a wide range of concepts as well as some of the well-known Prophets and Messengers of Allah, may Allah's
peace be upon them all, the significance of certain important Islamic occasions, the benefits of the observance of certain practices
and a short biography of the four rightly-guided caliphs who helped shape the destiny of the new faith. |

This series covers all areas of Islamic studies: tafseer, hadeeth, tawheed, fiqh, seerah, and general etiquette relating to
different areas and situations. Given the importance of authentic Islamic knowledge, every effort has been made to ensure that the
material presented in the series is authentic. Also, given the importance of Arabic Islamic terms, most of the terms are presented in
their original Arabic script, along with the transliteration and the translation of their meanings. This also applies to
supplications which have to be memorized in their Arabic version. The aim here is to help the reader read the original text and
understand its meaning. Each lesson is followed by exercises covering questions about the lesson.
One striking feature in the series is the colorful artwork used in it will certainly appeal to children. This is certainly bound
to attract the young readers' attention, stimulate them, amuse them as well as educate them.
This series aims to acquaint the student with the teachings of Islam in every aspect: beliefs, practices and moral conduct. This
series, with its unique features, certainly fills a gap in this area which has long been partially neglected. |

History, for many young people, is a boring list of names, dates and events. Our history, the history of Din al-Haqq al-Islam
(Islam, the religion of the Truth) and the peoples of Dar al-Islam (The homeland of Islam), is anything but boring! This is a book
full of the astonishing triumphs of Muslims from the Islamic Empire stretching from the Atlantic shores of Morocco, to the distant
beaches of the South China Sea. What united these far-flung regions was Islam: the belief in one deity, Allah, and in the
Prophet-hood of Muhammad (S). This book is an introduction to the amazing lives of a number of Muslims. Each of the twelve Muslims honored here is an ibn (son),
and is, therefore, remembered by the name of his father; each was an achiever whose patience, intelligence, motivation and Islamic
faith resulted in contributions that have benefited not only Muslims, but all of mankind. |
