Publishers Note
The Graces of Allah upon the humankind are numerous. But the greatest one is the Faith of Islam bestowed to humanity. Those who have been blessed with it are actually the most fortunate persons. If one is awarded with Faith and guided to the Straight way, it matters little for him whether he has been provided with worldly blessings like wealth, power, dignity etc. or not.
Islam is highly beneficial to humanity both in this life and in the life hereafter. It is a source of goodness and virtues in this world as it guides a man to lead a righteous life, elevates the mind and moral standards, and takes him out from darkness to light. And as regards in the life hereafter, it insures for him the Paradise adorned with the articles of pleasure and delight.
The book under study ‘Why Women are accepting Islam’ comprises the personal remarks and observations by those lucky women who were blessed with Islam. It has a detailed description as to how they were so impressed with Islam that obliged them to take such a major but uphill decision to abandon the religion of their forefathers. It is evident enough that Islam is the only religion which is so widely accepted by the large number of people each day.
Their opinions about veiling and other moral issues concerning mingling of both sexes freely are worth reading. They are appreciating the place of women and their importance in the Islamic society.The Compiler of this book, Mr. Muhammad Haneef Shahid is a beloved son of Pakistan, a renowned scholar, author of a number of books. He has a deep love for Islam. He has spent most of his life in the field of Learning and knowledge. He has dedicated his life to impart knowledge, especially of Islam to a wide range of people. I was introduced to him in 1993 and was greatly impressed with his virtues and qualities.

Ecstatic Memory: A Glimpse of Rumi
₦5,000Although there is now a plethora of books by and about Rumi (I noticed an almost exponential increase of Rumi related texts from the 1980s onwards), I thought it might be instructive to republish a small portion of Edward Henry Whinfield’s English translation of Rumi’s Persian masterpiece. I think it is vitally important in today’s social climate to focus on those aspects of Islam which elevate humankind and I can think of no better place to start than with the Sufi mystics of Islam, of which Rumi is the most famous (and perhaps finest) example. Rumi has such a rich understanding of the human condition, and what it yearns for, that he becomes at various turns a sort of “doctor” of the heart. His unbreakable bond with “Shams of Tabriz” exemplifies one of the greatest love stories ever told and though written centuries ago it still resonates today. The following is but a small glimpse of Rumi’s prodigious outpourings. My hope is that readers will want to delve deeper into his writings, since a close analysis of Rumi will undoubtedly benefit the reader in unforeseen ways.
