Book published: The Da'wah to Islam & The Method to Re-establish The Islamic State

The English translation of the excellent Arabic book ‘Da’wah ilal Islam’ (Da’wah to Islam) by Sheikh Ahmad Mahmoud has finally been published. I had serialised parts of it earlier on this site.

How to Purchase the book

Please send an email to revivalpublications@yahoo.com with your name, full address, quantity required and a contact number. They will then send you a payment request form from Paypal which you need to complete and send. Payments can be made by paypal to paypal, credit or debit cards.

Price of Book: £12 GBP, postage/courier rates will apply.

The book will be delivered within 3-5 days of receiving the payment.

The 377 page hard back quality english version is a quality translation including the Arabic ayat and ahadith, the original Arabic book was published in Lebanon by Al-Waie Publications.

Anyone who wants to purchase the book in bulk or wants to be a distributor for it please contact Revival Publications, New Delhi - India on revivalpublications@yahoo.com

In discussing da’wah to Islam the book concentrates more on the methodology of da’wah than its obligations and mandubaat (recommended actions). This is because the need today to have knowledge of this methodology has become most pressing and important, superseding all other aspects. The book concentrates on the ‘method of da’wah to re-establish the Islamic state’ because this aspect represents the backbone of the da’wah to Islam today. Today, under these circumstances where the Islamic state does not exist, every call that does not make the establishment of the Islamic state its pivot and the centre of its attention, is incomplete. The book covers subjects such as:

· Enjoining the Ma’roof (goodness) and forbidding the Munkar (evil).
· The obligation of the presence of groups that carry da’wah.
· How to establish Dar al-Islam (abode of Islam).
· Refuting methods contrary to the Shar’ee method.
· The method of Islam in understanding the ahkaam (rules).
· Is it allowed to have more than one movement calling to Islam?
· The halaal (permitted) is not reached through haraam (prohibited).
· Moderation and extremism.

Can the seller change the purchase option on e-Bay to "buy now" with fixed price rather than "bidding".
Islamic Revival said…
Unfortunately ebay doesn't allow this option to be enabled from the beginning. Only after a certain amount of purchases and ratings does it become enabled. However you can purchase the book directly from Revival Publications and pay through paypal by emailing them on revivalpublications@yahoo.com - please enclose the delivery address, they will send you the paypal payment request by email which you need to complete to receive the book.

Assalaamu alaikum. Is it possible to pay by debit card? It's an easier and safer option for some of us who do not want to set up a paypal account. jzk.

From what I know it is possible to pay via debit card through paypal. An alternative that they accept is also through a bank transfer or deposit into an account, please contact them on revivalpublications@yahoo.com

A book to be taken very seriously,because such a book has not been written in the history of Islam.It carries a comprehensive refutation of all the deviant thoughts put forward by various islamic movements esp. of the 20th century regarding politics.The purity of Islamic thought can be felt in this wonderful book.I do have a suggestion:
1)Why dont you give references at the end of the book?
2) suggestions for further reading should be specified seperately,so that the reader can get a comprehensive view of the issue.
3)when describing the various flaws in certain scholars and movements arguments,i think it would be better if you would give the examples of what had happened and what was the reality of the issue.of course,i do not say that you should name people or movts and blame them-instead the incidents should be mentioned so that the reader can be clear of the issue.hope so these suggestions would be taken care of in the second edition.Salaam.
This book is very monumental,In indonesia has been translated since 2001,it has @ volume.I think it might be equal as A fiqh book for da'wah.I think this book never ever written in our history.That's the honour of this ummah,Rasullullah s.a.w,will be proud of his ummah who can create many books in the day after.Ameen

By the way, is bidding allowed on eBay (as in are you allowed to sell on eBay and are you to buy on it as well)?
Islamic Revival said…
Yes bidding and purchasing through ebay is halal. The type of bidding with is haram in Islam is once a price has been agreed between 2 parties and they have agreed upon it then it is not allowed to come and bid more, this is what used to happen at the time of the Quraysh and Islam prohibitted it.

This is not the reality of what happens on ebay and such sites.

This is one the best books I have ever read in my life. It talks about various different topics including some strong arguments for those who believe in gradual change, working within the system, isolation. It also explains in further details the types of obligations, Aqida and thoughts regarding the Aqida, the Rules in Islam and others. Highly recommended.

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Q&A: Shari' rule on songs, music, singing & instruments?

The following is a draft translation from the book مسائل فقهية مختارة (Selected fiqhi [jurprudential] issues) by the Mujtahid, Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud Abdul Latif al-Uweida (May Allah protect him) . Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
