Assalamu Alaikum

I'm glad you brothers like it, I don't know what to say Omrow; it's no disco you know. The bibliography is merely a selection of writings available on the internet with some additions of books that aren't yet available or translated. There's more I'm sure, and certainly there is an enormous ammount of additional literature available in Arabic. I hope the scholars and students will translate some of those works, especially the ones mentioned by Shuyukh al-Buti, al-Kawthari, Ibn Rajab and al-Subki. Such works are much needed nowadays.

Ma`salam

Probably are boring! (I have not read any.)

But when you need the info, at that point the writing style can be ignored... Unless they make you snooze.
