I was just trying to find a specific hadith and came across this book called Riyadus Saliheen. It looks pretty good, has anyone read it?

You just came across it? It is probably the most recognised book which is a compilation of ahadith from various hadith books.

edit: for a moment i thought "ah must be a salafi book hated by all others" then i saw MB's comment, something we might be able to agree on?

why did this threat end on such a negative note...

the aunthentic creed and the invalidators of Islam by Shaykh AbudulAziz bin Adbullah bin Baz

i started reading the sealed nectar and its AAMZZZZZZIIINNNG. the only glitch is that instead of saying umar ibn alkhattab for xample, it says umar son of alkhattab which throws me off everytime because im so used to "bin"

anyway..did you know...the main hyprocrite's name was "Abdullah". crazy...

edit: here a little summary of the last part of the book

Nuh Min Keller's rendition of Reliance of the Traveller is a good primer for beginners on Fiqh, covering most topics, including his own notes on controversial areas like sufism.

Is he for or against sufism? His name sounds familiar.

I bought Imam Ghazali's Inner dimensions of Islamic worship, as recommended by Ya'qub and I like it 🙂

I bought this book a little while back called 'The war within out hearts' by Habeeb Quadri and Sa'ad Quadri and I think it's pretty good.

It's aimed at teenagers and covers problems such as intentions, dating, pornography, drugs, suicide, depression, abuse friends, internet, parents and more and then gives you the solutions to them; Qur'an, prayer, good company, hope etc.

They write in a very down to earth manner and aren't scholars or anything 'lecturing' you and normally I don't find these kind of books (kinda like 'self help'?) useful (ok I haven't really given them a chance) but I think this book does help. So yeah, defo recommend it.

Obviously not all those problems affect me but it's good to know and it may help you to respond to others. If you remember what it said. :oops:

Imam Ghazali’s Bidayat al-Hidaya is a highly motivational manual detailing the fundamentals of acquiring guidance through God-consciousness (taqwa). Imam Ghazali argues that just as there is an end to this noble objective there is also a beginning to it, which must be made firm for one to achieve success. He then goes on to expound the fundamentals of this “beginning.” While being concise and to-the-point the manual is laid out in the form of a detailed daily timetable providing the reader strong inspiration and much heart-rending counsel. The three sections of this book are on obedience, refraining from disobedience, and the etiquette of companionship with the Creator and with creation. One of Imām Ghazālī’s final works, it embodies a lifetime of learning, experience, and spirituality and can be taken as an introduction to his larger works.

Sounds like a good book.
