Dear " 'Uthmaan, "

There is quite an impressive selection of both books and tapes available at  Islamicbookstore.com. I do not think that the website will give you all the titles available. I hit it just recently and it seemed to me that there were a great number of items left out, (or items which you could only access if you knew the item number!!!) Your best bet, I think, is to let them know that you want a catalog, and have them send you one. It is pretty comprehensive -  Books, cd's, videotapes of lectures, cassette recordings of lectures and so on. This catalog will have you going for your credit card on the spot!

Hang on, let me find their e-mail address......
O.K.
Their e-mail address is: cs@islamicbookstore.com

You can also call 1-888-28-ISLAM

I did see some of the names which you mentioned within the pages of the catalog. I hope that I was of SOME help to you!!

Take care,
Best ragards,
Addison

[url=http://store.yahoo.com/islamicbookstore-com/b3027.html]Saviours of the Islamic Spirit[/url] by Abu Hasan Ali Nadawi (rahimahullah).

I haven't read the book, but the author is a well-known and well-respected scholar.

Wassalamu alaikum

Assalamu 'Alaikum

I have been looking for Al-Awza'ee's biography for a while now, I was told I should look for it in a book called MOuntains of KNowledge, the authors name escapes me!  I'm sure you'll find Sufyan Ath-thawree's in there as well. I don't know if the book is available on the net but if you do find Al-Awza'ees biography please post it up for me! thanks!

Yes I'm aware of that, I know it's not a biography book. But there are some biographies in there. I was told that by a friend. But since you have the book I guess you know better.
