This book has been widely lauded by academicians, lawyers, legists, jurists, politicians, students of political science, Muslim and non-Muslim scholars of Islam, and many others interested in knowing the political system of Islam. It also provides information about the historic struggle of the Muslims in the early years of the newborn state of Pakistan, to achieve the objectives for which this country came into being. It gives an account of the combined endeavors of the politico-religious leadership of that time to put the country in the right direction, the obstacles they faced during their struggle to achieve the objectives, and the popular ‘Movement for Islamic Constitution’, which earned the country its first “Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan”, in 1956.

The fundamental conception, on which this book is based upon is to, primarily dispel the false accusation and concept of Islam being a violent religion which preaches the spilling of blood to its followers in light of explaining the concept of fair war in various theologies apart from Islam such as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism. The author Syed Abul Ala Maudoodi himself refrains from presenting their own opinion rather the notion is supported by referring to the teachings of Islam and its laws without any alterations and presented exactly as inscribed in the Holy Quran, the Hadith and books of Islamic jurisprudence. To present our own belief system, commandments, teachings and codes and put forth arguments in support of them following which it is left to the reader’s intellect.

A presentation of the Prophet's character: his love for family and follower, leadership before persecution, and spiritual devotion to God.

Muslims all over the world see Muhammad as God's last messenger to mankind. Through his actions, he showed the way to live a life that provides for all the needs of body, mind, and soul, and elevates man's aspirations towards a sublime ideal in a very simple, direct, and truthful manner. He built a state that was dedicated to truth and justice and to the liberation of man throughout the world. He wrote to emperors, kings, and rulers, calling on them to believe in God and to follow His message, yet, at the same time, he lived a life of poverty, leaving aside the riches that were offered to him.

At a time when the Prophet is much maligned by writers, cartoonists, and various other detractors, this book aims to show Muhammad's true character in detail, both in its most everyday and most extraordinary moments.

Muhammad Iqbal (d. 1938), thinker and philosopher – poet of Indo-Pakistan sub-continent, was one of the key architects of contemporary Islam. Through the medium of his thoughtful writing and soul-transforming poetry, both Urdu and Persian, he infused a new spirit in the Muslims, not only of India and Pakistan but also Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East. He challenged the western concept of nationalism and expounded the concept of Islamic nations, on which the idea of Pakistan is based. A Treasury of Iqbal is a glimpse of his thought and contribution.

Abdur Rashid Siddiqui (d. 2019) gained an honours degree in Economics and Politics as well as a Law degree from the University of Bombay. He completed his postgraduate study in Librarianship in London. He worked as an Information Librarian at the University of Leicester from 1966 until his retirement in 1997.

LET US BE MUSLIMS is an English version of Syed Abul Ala Maudoodi's Urdu Khutubat. It is no ordinary book, says Khurram Murad in his introduction, for it has stirred more hearts and impelled more lives to change their course than any of his more erudite works. In these Friday congregational addresses, Syed Maudoodi expounds such familiar themes as Iman, Islam, the Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving, Pilgrimage and Jihad. But, in an unusually beautiful, powerfully reasoned, eloquent and passionate, and yet simple and lucid style, he imparts to these very teachings a life and revolutionary ardour that recalls their original proclamation and institution. This he does mainly by restoring the vital links between life and Iman, Iman and actions, Jihad and Iman, Iman and history. Having been made whole again and placed at the centre of life, Iman, in Syed Maudoodi’s discourse, regains its power to change man and his world.

Originally delivered more than seven decades ago, in 1938-39, before ordinary, almost illiterate, farmers and servicemen, it meets the real and great spiritual and cultural needs of Muslims and, despite the passage of time, retains its original freshness. This translation now attempts to bring Syed Maudoodi’s message with some of its original charm and vigour to millions of English-speaking Muslims. It is a book that should inspire every Muslim to think and renew his commitment of Iman to Allah.

“As Muslims we are commanded by Allah to constantly be reading and reflecting from the verses of the Quran. However, at times when we aren’t native to the Arabic language, we can feel discouraged from not understanding the themes presented. This has now been made a lot easier and thought provoking with this beautiful effort in front of you. Br. Hasan has done all the legwork of categorizing the verses in the Quran into underlying themes of truth and falsehood. This gives us a strong understanding of what the verse is communicating without the reader needing to be well versed in Arabic. This book will suffice in familiarizing a reader with the main concepts of Islam and what Allah is actually saying. With chapter summaries at the beginning of each theme and the references for all the verses, this is a must have in every Muslim’s life. It will be useful to use as an encyclopedic work to look up all the verses under different concepts easily and will lead you to conclusions maybe otherwise devoid of. There have been many blessed and amazing efforts of trying to make the meanings of the Quran more accessible to everyone, and this by far is one of the best and most useful works I have come across”.

Through four beautiful narratives (the People of the Cave; the Man with Two Gardens; Mūsā and Khiḍr; and Dhū al-Qarnayn), this Surah not only summarizes the whole religion of Islam, but also teaches a number of important lessons. Beginning with the role and function of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, it goes on to highlight the need for Muslims to show genuine concern for humanity at large.

The importance of genuine knowledge, and the necessity to take it only from qualified teachers who have taqwā, is also highlighted – showing that the highest form of knowledge is that which is acquired through God-consciousness and utter submission to the will of Allah.

The Surah also indicates that believers must always strive against their egos and attribute nothing of the blessings and bounties they possess to their egos or knowhow. One must always remember that Allah is the Master of the whole universe and everything that happens in it is under His control, no matter how good, bad or difficult it might appear.

The author sets this against a fascinating historical backdrop.

Genuine understanding of Islam, the religion, will reveal that Islam is a later moment of that very consciousness which produced Judaism and Christianity, that Islam, the culture, is as much a source of the Western civilization of the present millennium as classical Greece and Rome, that Islam’s anti-clericalism made it the first “Protestant” revolution, that its rationalism made it the first “Enlightenment”, that its pragmatism made it the first “technocracy”, and that its law of war and peace made it the first “United Nations”.

About the Author 

Professor Ismail Raji al Faruqi, Palestinian-American philosopher, visionary, and an authority in comparative religion, was one of the foremost Muslim scholars of the 20th century. In this study he presents the meaning and message of Islam to the wider world community. Key elements of the faith are summarized and explained in an overall theme of seven parts consisting of 21 chapters. Yet the chapters represent far more than a simple description of Muslim peoples and orthodox practice. Al Faruqi was a great thinker, formidable in logic, and relished intellectual engagement on every level, particularly when it came to Islam and other faiths. And it is this unique reasoning process that is reflected in this work, al Faruqi signature contribution, which not only expounds on Islam as spiritual faith and action, but also on Islam the great experience.
