AQSA Publications at ISNA Convention 2005

A couple of weeks ago, I received a few hundred copies of books recently published by AQSA Publications in the United Kingdom. In addition to Albani & his Friends, which I have already publicized, I now have copies of Sunna Notes: Studies in Hadith Literature & Doctrine - Volume 1, by Shaykh Gibril F. Haddad, and Jesus Christ the Son of Mary, by Sidi Habib Ali al-Jafri and translated by Shaykh Gibril F. Haddad, in stock. Insha'llah, within a few days I'll have my on-line store and order form updated so that I can start accepting orders for these new titles.

Both of these new books are unique to Islamic literature in the English language and are extremely relevant and valuable. This first volume of the Sunnah Notes series contains information about the hadith sciences previously unavailable in English, including a translation of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani's Nukhbat al-Fikar, which should be of great interest to any students of hadith. The subtitle to this first volume of Sunnah Notes series is Hadith History & Principles, and the second volume in this series, which is soon to be released, insha'llah, is entitled The Excellent Innovation -- and we're really looking forward to it.

The other new book that I now have in stock, entitled Jesus Christ, presents the classical Islamic view of Jesus, peace be upon, and his mission. Needless to say, a quality translation of a concise (83 pages) work by a well-respected scholar on such a relevant topic makes this book a valuable outreach (da'wah) tool. Thus I highly recommend it to all Muslims living in the West who want to promote an accurate and positive understanding of Islam.

Yesterday, I shipped several dozen copies of these books to the owner of Firdous Books, so he could sell them at the upcoming ISNA Convention 2005. So if any of you are planning to attend this big event in Chicago, please take the time to stop at the Firdous Books booth and check out these new titles, insha'llah.
