Since the ascendancy of the Taliban the lives of Mosheen and his beautiful wife, Zunaira, have been gradually destroyed. Mosheen’s dream of becoming a diplomat has been shattered and Zunaira can no longer even appear on the streets of Kabul unveiled. Atiq is a jailer who guards those who have been condemned to death; the darkness of prison and the wretchedness of his job have seeped into his soul.

Yet, the lives of these four people are about to become inexplicably intertwined, through death and imprisonment to passion and extraordinary self-sacrifice.

Footsteps by Umm Zakiyyah
₦7,500The journey began in If I Should Speak with Tamika Douglass’s path of spiritual growth and direction, treaded at the hands of her college roommates, Aminah and Dee, two Muslims on opposite ends of their strength in Islam. Footsteps, the third in a trilogy to follow Umm Zakiyyah’s A Voice, is a story that stands on its own in both impact and inspiration. At the heart of the novel is the story of Ismael, a forty-seven-year-old biracial son of a White mother and Black father, and Sarah, a forty-nine-year-old White daughter of the racist South.
Married for twenty-six years and having accepted Islam on a journey they took together, the Ali pair has what every partnership hopes to achieve. Stability, dedication, and a comfortable life. As the story unfolds, the hairline fractures in their marriage become visible, and the fractures become splintering cracks as Sarah discovers a detrimental secret her husband has kept from her for four months.
In the face of his wife’s discovery, Ismael is torn between the love and security of his marriage, and the natural inclinations any man must temper in a world full of choices, and devastating consequences. Forming the thread that weaves the characters’ lives together is Alika Mitchell, a strikingly beautiful daughter of a mulatto mother and half-Nigerian father, who is conducting a multicultural research for her master’s, and who inspires in the reader questions that one is left to ponder long after the book is closed.

Muhammad: The Hero As Prophet
₦1,000This book form an extract from Thomas Carlyle’s famous work ‘On Heroes, Hero Worship and the Heroic in History.’ Having no knowledge in Arabic, he formed his judgment on the Quran from the translations available to him assuming them to be fair and sufficient. Carlyle’s presentation of the life of Prophet Muhammad in a very positive way stands as a very clear, concise, knowledgeable and fair account. For him the Prophet was a genuine man of insight, a great leader, a devout and humble man, yet the truth of his religion was ‘embedded in a portentous error and falsehood.’ But Carlyle gave Islam the highest accolade when he went so far as to state that Islam was ‘properly the soul of Christianity.

The Book of Ibns – The Amazing Sons of Islam
₦1,500By: Luqman Nagy
Pages: 80
Binding: Hardback
Size: 7x10x0.3″ (17×24 cm)
Format: Full Color
SKU/ISBN: 9789960996905
Publisher: Dar-us-SalamHistory, for many young people, is a boring list of names, dates and events. Our history, the history of Din al-Haqq al-Islam (Islam, the religion of the Truth) and the peoples of Dar al-Islam (The homeland of Islam), is anything but boring! This is a book full of the astonishing triumphs of Muslims from the Islamic Empire stretching from the Atlantic shores of Morocco, to the distant beaches of the South China Sea. What united these far-flung regions was Islam: the belief in one deity, Allah, and in the Prophet-hood of Muhammad (S). In the Arab world, a father or a mother can be informally identified as Abu ‘Ali (“the father of `Ali”) or `Umm Marvam (“the mother of Maryam”), after the birth of their first son or daughter. Each child, in turn, can be given a nickname of sorts identifying him or her as “son of” (ibn) or “daughter of” (bint) so-and-so.
Therefore, Abdul Haqq bin Luqman and Marvain bint Luqman would mean “Abdul Haqq, son of Luqman” and “Maryam, daughter of Luqman” respectively. This book is an introduction to the amazing lives of a number of Muslims. Each of the twelve Muslims honored here is an ibn (son), and is, therefore, remembered by the name of his father; each was an achiever whose patience, intelligence, motivation and Islamic faith resulted in contributions that have benefited not only Muslims, but all of mankind. Insha’Allah, the stories of these Abna ‘Al-Islam, or “sons of Islam”, will inspire all young Muslims who read them. May each reader of this book, like the twelve Islamic superstars it introduces, always be, a son ofsiratal-mustageem, a son of the True Path.
