A book called "Shirk" written by Mohmmad Khan. very interesting to see what the ummah gets up to these days
also very distressing 
The revival magazine is pretty good (excluding the shirk) keep up the good work Ed
(but exlude the shirk mate 
)
What you put in the hearts of others; is what goes back into your own heart…

hae you eveer read The Revival Magazine?
Shirk? where? and that is if you use your bastardised version of shirk aswell!
and, may I ask again, that you learn what shirk is. Here is a hint: associating another to god.
The enemy of my enemy is my... enemy.

I reading Chris Eubank Bio at the Mo. It brillant, proper funny bloke, even though he a bit full of himself. I see that he credit himself with all his success, which is funny for a boxer. But it a cool book I love to meet him.

I remeber muslimsis mentioning buying the biography of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (ra), let me know how u find it in terms of the writing style, is it hard to understand or pretty easy...after readin a glimpse of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (ra) life in "secrets of secrets" it got me interested. I always wanted to buy the full biography but never got round to it. So it would be good to hear if the book is easy to read.

There's this small book with Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani's teachings (or was it Imam Ghizali?)
it starts with, 'My son...' and then 1 or 2 small pages of Very wise words he would pass onto others
Razor recommended it

I only brought the “Necklace of Gems” a few days ago, and have only read the first few chapters.
It’s a very thick book and I wouldn’t say its any more or less complicated to read then “The secrets of secrets”.
If you can read “the secrets of secrets” then you can def read his biography as well….
I believe it’s the most comprehensive biography available in English. And it’s a must have for those who look up to Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jillani (ra).
...Your a Uni student I'm sure you can hack it...But its not a book that can be finished over night.

I think thats Luqman's advice to his son?
Or it must be the book by Imam Ghazali titled "My beloved son"-thats a great book.

Can you give me a review when you finish the book, i always found Khalid bin Waleed (ra) and Hazrat Umar (ra) very interesting characters. Especially after reading Yashmati signature.

I thought abdul-qadir gillani's al fath ar rabbani (the sublime revelation), was pretty good.
Some of it, (there are 63 discourses in total) is online here:

I think some of "necklace of gems" is there as well.

Read a book called "The Breadwinner" by Deborah Ellis.
It's about this 11 year old girl named Parvana who is living in Afghanistan during the taliban rule. Her father is arrested and as she has no older brothers, her family decides to pass her off a s aboy so she can go out to work.
This book was excellent, finished it in the same day (It isnt as long as most books). It made me think how lucky I am to have shelter, food and clothes. There's a sequel aswell to this book (currently reading it) called "Parvanas journey" which basically follows up the 1st one.
A recommended read.
