| THE HEIRS OF THE PROPHETS Ibn Rajab Al-Hanabali Translated by Imam Zaid Shakir www.starlatch.com ~This book achieves two major triumphs that speak to the modern Muslim intellectual condition. First, it deeply inspires in the serious reader---like very few books of human origim--the love and desire to gain true knowledge. It enlightens people as to what realm of knowledge holds firm sovereignty over all the rest and is most vital for a true Islamic renaissance. In the haze of unbounded access to information, it is especially important these days for people to be clear about what is beneficial knowledge as praised by Allah ( swt) and His messenger ( peace and blessings be upon him). This knowledge refers mainly to that which leads men and women to the pleasure of Allah and salvation in the Hereafter... ~The great scholar Imam Ibn Rajab writes: "The uniformed person..cannot conceptualize the essence of knowledge nor its sublimity...one who fails to conceptualize something, its significance will never become rooted in the heart." |
