کسی قوم، معاشرے یا فرد کی کامیابی اور ناکامی کا دارومدار اس کے عقائد و نظریات پر ہوتا ہےقطع نظر اس کے وہ عقائد و نظریات صحیح ہیں یا غلط، جو قوم اپنے نظریات و افکار میں پختہ ہو وہی کامیاب ہوتی ہے۔ اگر عقائد و نظریات مستحکم اور صحیح ہوں تو دین و دنیا دونوں کی کامیابی مقدر ٹھہرتی ہے۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ تمام انبیائے کرام نے سب سے پہلے لوگوں کے عقائد و نظریات کی اصلاح کی اور اسلام نے بھی عقائد پر بہت زور دیا ہے اور پختہ عقائد کے بغیر اسلام کو نفاق کے درجے میں رکھاہے۔ عصرِ حاضر کے تقاضوں کو سامنے رکھتے ہوئے علمائے ربانی نے اسلام کے بنیادی عقائد و نظریات کے حوالے سے بے شمار کتابیں تحریر کی ہیں۔ زیر نظر کتاب، عالم عرب کے معروف قلم کار فضیلۃ الشیخ عبداللہ بن عبدلحمید اثری کی تالیف `الوجیز فی عقیدۃ السلف الصالح` کا اردو ترجمہ ہے۔ اس کتاب میں عقیدے کی تعریف و توضیح کے علاوہ 11 بنیادی اصول ذکر کیے گئے ہیں جن کا جاننا اہل اسلام کے لیے نہایت ضروری ہے۔ عقیدہ توحید اور ایمانیات کے مسائل کو صحابہ کرام ، تابعین اور محدثین کے فہم کی روشنی میں واضح کیا گیا ہے۔ کتاب کا اسلوب سادہ اور عام فہم ہے جو علماء، طلبہ اور عوام الناس کے لیے یکساں مفید ہے۔

`شکر` صفات حسنہ میں بہت اہمیت کا حامل ہے اور `توبہ` مغفرت کے وسائل میں ایک مؤثر ذریعہ ہے۔ شکر اور توبہ کی یہ دونوں کیفیات کسی بندہ مومن کو میسر آجائیں تو یہ ایک خوش نصیبی اور سعادت کی بات ہے۔ ہمیں اور بہت سی تعلیمات کی طرح ان دوبنیادی اوامر کی طرف کتاب و سنت میں جابجا توجہ دلائی گئی ہے۔ محترم بشیر احمد لودھی ایک نووارد مصنف ہیں، مگر ان کے قلم میں ایسی پختگی ہے جس کا تقاضا کتاب و سنت میں موجود ہے۔ انھوں نے اس مختصر مگر جامع کتاب کے ہر باب میں صرف اور صرف کتاب و سنت ہی کے چشمہ صافی سے رجوع کیا ہے، جس کے باعث ان کی یہ کتاب ایک طالب ہدایت کے لیے نسخہ شفا ہے۔ دارالسلام کے شعبئہ تحقیق نے اس کتاب کے حوالوں کی تخریج کر کے اسے چار چاند لگا دیے ہیں۔ اب یہ کتاب اپنے موضوع پر ایک سادہ اسلوب اور پختہ فکر کی نمائندگی کرتی ہے۔ عامتہ المسلمین انشا ءاللہ اس کے مطالعے کو اپنے لیے نافع اور مفید محسوس کریں گے۔ -
شرک ایک ایسی لعنت ہے جو انسان کوجہنم کے گڑھے میں پھینک دیتی ہے قرآن کریم میں شرک کوبہت بڑا ظلم قرار دیا گیا ہے اور شرک ایسا گناہ کہ اللہ تعالی انسان کے تمام گناہوں کو معاف کردیں گے لیکن شرک جیسے عظیم گناہ کو معاف نہیں کریں گے ۔شرک اس طرح انسانی عقل کوماؤف کردیتا ہےکہ انسان کوہدایت گمراہی اور گمراہی ہدایت نظر آتی ہے ۔نیز شرک اعمال کو ضائع وبرباد کرنے والا اور ثواب سے محروم کرنے والا ہے ۔ پہلی قوموں کی تباہی وبربادی کاسبب شرک ہی تھا۔ چنانچہ جس کسی نے بھی محبت یا تعظیم میں اللہ کے علاوہ کسی کواللہ کے برابر قرار دیا یا ملت ابراہیمی کے مخالف نقوش کی پیروی کی وہ مشرک ہے۔تردید شرک اور اثبات کےسلسلے میں اہل علم نے تحریر اور تقریری صورت میں بےشمار خدمات انجام دیں۔ ماضی میں شیخ الاسلام محمد بن الوہاب کی اشاعت توحید کےسلسلے میں خدمات بڑی اہمیت کی حامل ہیں ۔شیخ الاسلام ،مجدد العصر محمد بن عبد الوہاب کی شخصیت کسی تعارف کی محتاج نہیں ہے۔آپ ایک متبحر عالم دین،قرآن وحدیث اور متعدد علوم وفنون میں یگانہ روز گار تھے۔آپ نے اپنی ذہانت وفطانت اور دینی علوم پر استدراک کے باعث اپنے زمانے کے بڑے بڑے علماء دین کو متاثر کیا اور انہیں اپنا ہم خیال بنایا۔آپ نے قرآن وسنت کی توضیحات کے ساتھ ساتھ شرک وبدعات کے خلاف علمی وعملی دونوں میدانوں میں زبر دست جہاد کیا۔آپ متعدد کتب کے مصنف ہیں۔جن میں سے ایک کتاب (کتاب التوحید) ہے۔مسائل توحید پر یہ آپ کی بہترین کتابوں میں سے ایک ہے،اور سند وقبولیت کے اعتبار سے اس کا درجہ بہت بلند ہے۔علماء کا اس بات پر اتفاق ہ کہ اسلام میں توحید کے موضوع پرکتاب التوحید جیسی کوئی کتاب نہیں لکھی گئی۔یہ کتاب توحید کی طرف دعوت دینے والی ہے ۔ایک طویل مدت سے دنیائے علم میں اس کی اشاعت جاری ہے اور اب تک عرب وعجم میں کروڑوں بے راہروں کو ہدایت کا راستہ دکھانے اور انہیں کفر وضلالت کے اندھیروں سے نکال کر توحید کی روشنی میں لانے کا فریضہ ادا کر چکی ہے۔ اس کتاب کی اہمیت کے افادیت کے پیشِ نظر متعد د اہل علم نےاس کی شروحات بھی لکھی ہیں اور کئی علماء نے اس کتاب کےمتعد د زبانوں میں ترجمہ بھی کیا ہے۔اردو زبان میں بھی اس کےمتعدد علماء نےترجمے کیے جسے سعودی حکومت اور اشاعتی اداروں نے لاکھوں کی تعداد میں شائع کر کے فری تقسیم کیا ہے۔ زیر تبصرہ کتاب ’’غایۃ المرید فی شرح کتاب التوحید‘‘ بھی کتاب التوحید کی ایک عربی شرح کا ترجمہ ہے۔ یہ شرح سعودی عرب کی اہم شخصیت شیخ صالح بن عبد العزیز بن محمد ابراہیم اٰل الشیخ کی تحریر کردہ ہے -

`اسلام کی نظر میں وضع کی درستی اصلاح قلب کا لازمی جزو ہے۔ یہ تو ہو سکتا ہے کہ وضع درست ہو اور دل درست نہ ہو لیکن یہ ممکن نہیں ہے کہ دل درست ہو اور وضع پر اس کا کچھ اثر نہ پڑے۔ اصلاحِ وضع میں داڑھی کو خاص اہمیت حاصل ہے۔ داڑھی کا رکھنا دل کی ایمانی قوت کا اظہار ہے اور داڑھی منڈوانا دل کی کراہت و نیت کی خرابی کی علامت ہے۔ جس کا دل پاک صاف ہو، وہ تو اللہ اور اس کے رسول ﷺ کا فرماں بردار ہوتا ہے۔ یہ کیسے ممکن ہے کہ گنا ہ پر اصرار کرتے رہیں اور دل بھی صاف ہو؟ رسول اللہ ﷺ کی صورت مبارکہ یعنی داڑھی سے نفرت ہو اور روح بھی پاک ہو، یہ کیسے ممکن ہے؟ داڑھی بڑھانے اور مونچھیں کٹانے کے متعلق رسول اللہ ﷺ نے سخت تاکید فرمائی ہے اور اس کا حکم دیا ہے۔ پس کوئی مسلمان رسول اللہ ﷺ کی حکم عدولی اور نا فرمانی نہیں کر سکتا۔ اگر ہمیں اپنے آقا ﷺ سے محبت ہے تو ضروری ہے کہ ہم بھی اپنا چہرہ اس جیسا بنا لیں۔ -
This book shares with its reader the humbling incidents of Muslims around the world that repented in front of their Lord and decided not to live a life of disobedience anymore. This book will provide the insight into the limitless mercy of Allah (S.W.T) and inspire the reader to live his/her life according to the fitra’h created by the most beautiful Creator, Allah. ہم میں سے کون ہے جس نے گناہ نہ کیا ہو؟ ہم میں سے کون ہے جس نے تمام احکام با کمال پورے کیے ہوں؟ ہم سب ہی بحیثیتِ انسان گناہ گار اور خطا کار ہیں اور ہمیشہ اپنے رب کی رحمت اور مغفرت کے طلبگار ہیں۔ ہم میں سے بہتر وہی ہیں جو اپنی خامیوں، کمیوں اور غلطیوں کو پہچانتے ہوں اور اپنے رب کے آگے توبہ کر کے اُسکی رحمت کے طلبگار ہوں۔ یہ کتاب ایسی ہی لوگوں کی سچی کہانیوں کا مجموعہ ہے جو اپنے رب سے مایوس نہیں ہوئے اور اُسکے آگے اپنی غلطی کا اعتراف کر کے معافی کے طلبگار ہوئے۔ آیئے، ہم بھی ان سچے واقعات سے اپنی مغفرت کا سامان کریں۔ -
Every Prophet had a miracle which he showed to his people and challenged them with. Some of Prophets even had more than one sign as a definite proof that they were sent by Allah; challenging their nations to bring anything similar to it if they denied it. Every sign given to any of the prophets was exclusively meant for his people and when he died, his signs ceased to exist. However, one such miraculous sign shall remain, complete and preserved with the command of Allah, until the day of Resurrection. This miracle is the inimitable Qur’an, the everlasting Book of Allah given to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him). Anyone who lives after the death of this Prophet of Mercy will be able to see it, read it, and realize for themselves the truth that it contains. -
چونکہ بہت سے مسلمان عربی زبان نہیں جانتے اور نہ ہی اُنہیں زندگی میں باقاعدہ عربی سیکھنے کا موقعہ ملتا ہے، اسی لیے وہ مختلف تراجم کی طرف رخ کرتے ہیں۔ لیکن ترجموں میں بھی بہت سی مشکلات کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ اسی لیے یہ ڈکشنری ترتیب دی گئی ہے کہ قاری کسی بھی مشکل لفظ کا با آسانی معنی جان سکے اور اپنے علم کی پیاس بجھی۔ Since the majority of the followers of Islam are not native speakers of Arabic, and many of them may not have the chance to learn it properly, translation has been resorted to, and however incomplete it may be. But even good translator always finds it difficult to translate the special terms from Arabic. A cursory look at the translation of various Islamic works would reveal the discrepancies between the Arabic text and its translation, on one hand, and the different renderings of the same Arabic terms by different translators or even by the same translator at different times. This dictionary is the solution to these problems.a

Shaikh Abdur-Rahman Ibn Nasir bin As-Saadi Translated by Sidheeque M.A Veliankode Islam is the religion that ALLAH has chosen for mankind to follow.

In this book, the author has widely described the main principle of Taqleed. He says that Allah and Prophet Mohammed (SAW) have not ordered us to follow any opinions and interpretations. So there`s a possibility of being correct or incorrect in the opinions because there are many issues on which the Imams had different views and they explain them according to their own reasons and speculations, but the real and true Islam is based on the book (Quran) and Prophet`s Sunnah. Allah says: `But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith until they make you judge in all disputed matters between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decision, and accept them with full submission.` And the prophet said: `I leave you with two things as long as you hold them tightly, you never go astray: they are the book of Allah and my Sunnah.` In this sense, the author has described the difference between different Madhahib (madhabs/mazhabs), and their views and urged to follow only the Quran and Sunnah. -

Young Man! 10. Be Steadfast! Book 1 - The Concise Legacy The Concise Legacy, the first in the Golden Advice Series, is an advice given by Ahmad ibn Taymiyah on matters which will set right one`s affairs of the deen (religion) and dunyaa (world). The framework for this advice is provided by the advice of the Prophet (S) to Mu`aadh ibn Jabal (R): `O Mu`aadh, fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good one and it will wipe it out and behave well towards people.` (Tirimidhee) The advice contained in this book covers what would make one attain the good of this world and the hereafter Insha Allaah. Other than being a discourse of how a servant can remain attached to his Lord, the advice contained in this book also focuses on the interpersonal relationship between human beings (i.e. being good to others by giving them their rights, being just to them etc). Book 2 - O My Son! (The Advice of Luqmaan) One of the duties parents owes their children is to guide them aright by educating them. They are obligated to correct their children`s errors and most importantly guide them to live a life that is pleasing to Allaah (Azawajal) by teaching them the means of achieving that. To assist the parents in discharging these responsibilities, Allaah (A) gave clear guidance in the Qur`an. He gave us the example of a dutiful father-Luqman and the advice he gave to his son: `And (remember) when Luqman said to his son when he was advising him: `0 my son! Join not in worship others with Allaah. Verily! Joining others in worship with Allaah is a great Zulm (injustice) indeed.` (Luqmaan [311: 13) Our success as parents is determined largely by how well we are able to discharge those responsibilities Allaah O has placed on us regarding our children. This book explains different aspects of the advice of Luqmaan to his son and its significance for a successful life. Book 3 - Do not Become Angry Much of the flaws that afflict the individual and the community stem from the singular defect of Anger. Allaah (j) and His Messenger (S) have given us instructions regarding the malady and advised us to keep it in check. This work is an extensive discussion of these instructions. We hope that this concise work will aid the one who is afflicted with this flaw to find a cure in, insha Allaah; while the one who is free of it will find enough incentives to keep his emotions under control. Book 4 - Guard the Tongue How many people have earned the wrath of Allaah as a result of misuse of their tongues? How many injuries that may never heal have been inflicted through the careless slips of the tongue? The Messenger of Allaah (S) said: `Indeed, the servant will speak words that are pleasing to Allaah, due to which he will be given a condition in which Allaah will raise him many levels. And indeed, the servant will speak words that are displeasing to Allaah, due to which he will not be given a good condition, but (instead) be thrown into the Hellfire.` (Bukhaaree) This book highlights those sins that seem so light on the tongue yet so grave on the scale and offers practical advice on how to keep the tongue in check. Book 5 - Be patient and Paradise will be Yours After eemaan (faith), the most honorable trait with which man could be endowed is patience. It is the best course of action in all situations. It is a cause for Allaah`s mercy and helps. It is a source of spiritual joy. The final victory in both matters of the world and Hereafter is only earned by patients and the good end beings only to the patient ones. Our trials in this world are numerous and varied. Sometimes, they come as difficulties and some other times in forms of ease. Situations that life turns on us sometimes could stretch our will and faith to the extreme. In all situations, patience and eemaan remain our most valued companions for the Prophet (S) said: `Whoever remains patient, Allaah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience.` (Bukhaaree) This book is a discussion of patience and how to develop that trait so that we might be a recipient of one of Allaah`s greatest blessings. Book 6 - Rizq and Lawful Earning Narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (R), the Prophet (S) said: `If you put your faith completely in Allaah, He will arrange for your sustenance in the same way as he provides for the bird. They go out in the morning with their stomachs empty and return filled in the evening.` (Tirmidhee) This book discusses the place of pride Islaam gives to making lawful earnings and rizq through hard work and striving. It also looks at the contempt Islaam places on begging and indolence. Then it looks at which earnings are lawful, which are not and the many ways by which wealth can increase while seeking the pleasure of Allaah (A). Book 7 - Do not Be Envious Ever heard of the cause of the first disobedience in the heavens? ENVY! That was it! I bless (Shaytaan) disobeyed Allah, his Lord, out of envy, arrogance, and pride. (See Al-Araaf [7]: 12). Envy is also one of the commonest sins on earth! It is the deadly disease of the heart that destroys personal as well as communal relationships! ENVY: its causes, its effects and how to deal with it, is the subject of this small but beneficial book. May the one Who is afflicted with this disease fine cure in the prescription contained in this book. (Ameen) Book 8 - The Muslim home A home is an important means towards building the Muslim community. The society is made up of homes and it is the origin. The home is life and the life is society. If the home is strong and morally sound, it will reflect in the larger society. Whatever the home is made up of that is the reflection that will be seen in the society. When the society is morally bankrupt it should be traced to the home. To rescue our society from destruction the home needs to be rebuilt on sound footings. The Messenger of Allaah (S) said: `Happiness has four elements; a good wife, a spacious house, a good neighbor and a good riding beast.` (Ibn Hibbaan) From this hadeeth, it can be seen that three out of the four elements of happiness concern the home. This book highlights the means and processes of building a Muslim home which guarantees sakeenah (tranquility). [an-Nahl (16):80] Book 9 - O Young Man! When do we teach our children? What do we teach them? How do we teach them? The Messenger of Allaah (N) showed the way of tarbiyah for Muslims in his life-forming advice to Abdullah ibn Abbas? This book is an insight into the basic Islamic teaching that children should be taught significant things early in life, so that they may live a meaningful life. It is must for every home. Is it not time to call our children and advise them with the words of the Prophet (S)? `O young man, I shall teach you some words (of advice): Be mindful of Allaah, and Allaah will protect you. Be mindful of Allaah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allaah; if you seek help, seek the help of Allaah...` (Tirmidhee) Book 10 - Be Steadfast! Every day we faced threats that shake us just a bit or rock us from the foundation of our being at other times. Such sections make us wonder whether we can remain steadfast and much on! Narrated Sufyaan Ibn Abdullah (R): `I said to the Messenger of Allah (S): `Messenger of Allah, tell me something to which I should hold fast. He said: `Affirm, `My Lord is Allah` and then be steadfast.` Then I said: `Messenger of Allah, what is that you are most afraid of in my case?` He took hold of his tongue and said: `Of this.`` (Tirmidhee) This book, Insha Allah, gives a concise insight into what it means to be steadfast, the kind of sections that necessitate being steadfast and the various ways and means of keeping steadfast in our faith. -
Cartography, a word from Greek origin, is the science and art of mapmaking and is an endeavor paramount in the intellectual development of human being. When the Muslims of 9th century Baghdad decided to preserve the totality of classical Greek science in Arabic, the new language of civilization, they discovered Ptolemy. His Geographia was a guide to mapmaking and enormously important for all Muslim mapmaking. Over the next five hundred years, Muslims increased their knowledge of geography and perfected their mapmaking skills, eventually producing maps of great complexity and beauty. Modern cartography has its origin in the many breakthroughs made by Muslim scientist, centuries ago. This book is not meant to be a history of maps, but a celebration of some of the achievement of Muslim master mapmaker. Insha’ Allah, readers of this book will be encouraged to view maps of all kinds with greater appreciation, knowing the great amount of labor and learning that have facilitated their production. -

And recite to them the story of him whom We gave Our Ayat, but he threw them away; so Satan followed him up, and he became of those who went astray. And had We willed, We would surely, have elevated him there with, but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his parable is the parable of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the parable of the people who reject Our Ayat. So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect. Evil is the parable of the people who rejected Our Ayat. and used to wrong their own selves. -
