New Material at Masud Khan's...Finally

After surviving an article famine of quite a few weeks, I was relieved to discover that Masud Khan's website was updated today with quite a few new articles—covering everything from Islamic fiqh issues and worship to controversies over Christian theology. Primary amongst this new material is The Invocation of Blessings and Peace upon the Prophet of Allah, salla Allahu 'alayhi wa salam, which is a translation of Abwab al-Faraj by the late Sheikh Muhammad bin Alawi al-Maliki al-Hassani, may Allah forgive and be pleased with him, who passed away last Ramadan. Insha'llah, many Muslims will derive great benefit from the wisdom in this article.

Likewise, there's a very detailed article, entitled Hisab & Ru'yah or Matla' al-Budur, which addresses various moon sighting controversies and carries "Definitive Reply to the Moonsighting Controversy" as its subtitle—so make sure you read this one before next Ramadan.

Even though I don't plan to mention every one of the new articles that have been posted, I think Crying out on the Cross is worthy of a read, especially by non-Muslims. I also recommend the article by Abdal-Hakim Murad, which is the only one of these new articles that I'd previously seen, which intelligently discusses (which is one of the Shaykh's habits) some of the dilemmas, choices and problems facing Muslims in America these days: Tradition or Extradition? The Threat to Muslim-Americans.

Enjoy...
