Laughing All the Way to the Mosque By Zarqa Nawaz
Being a practicing Muslim in the West is sometimes challenging, sometimes rewarding and sometimes downright absurd. How do you explain why Eid never falls on the same date each year; why it is that Halal butchers also sell teapots and alarm clocks; how do you make clear to the plumber that it’s essential the toilet is installed within sitting-arm’s reach of the tap?
Little Mosque on the Prairie brought Zarqa’s own laugh-out-loud take on her everyday culture clash to viewers around the world. And now, in Laughing All the Way to the Mosque, she tells the sometimes absurd, sometimes challenging, always funny stories of being Zarqa in a western society. From explaining to the plumber why the toilet must be within sitting arm’s reach of the water tap (hint: it involves a watering can and a Muslim obsession with cleanliness “down there”) to urging the electrician to place an eye-height electrical socket for her father-in-law’s epilepsy-inducing light-up picture of the Kaaba, Zarqa paints a hilarious portrait of growing up in a household where, according to her father, the Quran says it’s okay to eat at McDonald’s-but only if you order the McFish.

Khalid Ibn Al-Walid (The Age of Bliss)
Khalid ibn al-Walid was born to be a leader of men. Growing up as one of three brothers in a military family, he always played commander to his brothers’ soldiers. After honing his skills as a soldier, his natural leadership qualities and courage on the battlefield made him a natural choice as commander of the cavalry. This book charts his career as an illustrious and successful warrior, Khalid ibn al Walid, first against the Muslim army, and later as leader of the Muslim army. This change of heart was something even the mighty warrior couldn’t resist. For, however great Khalid’s struggles on the battlefield, his greatest struggle took place within his own heart. Influenced first by his brother Walid’s conversion to Islam, and secondly by his personal encounter with the noble Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, Khalid could not resist the call of Islam and became a Muslim. The story goes on to tell how, thanks to his victories in battle, Islam spread rapidly through Arabia and Syria. Khalid won a fearsome reputation as “the Sword of Allah” and, under the blessed Prophet’s guidance, fought his greatest battles to win wars, but also to win people’s hearts and bring the beautiful religion of Islam to all humanity. Throughout his life, Khalid was the personification of the advice he gave to his soldiers: “Patience is the highest virtue; defeat is feebleness; victory is only won with patience.”

This book Fortress of the Muslim – Invocations from the Quran and Sunnah by Dawah Corner is an abridgment of my earlier work entitled, Adh-Dhikr wad-Du’a wal-‘llaj bir-Ruqyah mina’-Kitab was-Sunnah.
