£5.00Shaikh Abdul-Razzaaq Ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Badr | Dar as-Sunnah Publishers
Beseeching Allāh for forgiveness is amongst the greatest means in getting close to Him and attaining His Pleasure in this world and the Hereafter. In the noble Prophetic guidance, the Messenger of Allāh said the best du’a (invocation) by which forgiveness should be sought is called ‘Sayyid Al-Istighfār’. It is composed of a few words with profound meanings, which the Prophet keenly taught his ‘Ummah. He said, ‘Whoever reads it during the day with firm faith in it and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise. And whoever reads it at night with firm faith in it and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise.” [Al-Bukhari, 6306]
Before you dear reader is a small contemporary work explaining the immense benefits of
‘Sayyid Al-Istighfār’. It should be memorised by every Muslim and its meanings understood and internalised for heightened impact and benefit. The author (may Allāh bless him) discusses the du’a, elucidating its beautiful composition correctly, and explaining the meaning of repentance, its importance and Allāh’s Love for those who turn to Him in true repentance.
Our Obligations Concerning the Companions – Shaykh Abdur-Razzaq al-Badr
£7.50A small excerpt from the book: The topic of this discussion is entitled “Our obligation concerning the noble companions” (May Allāh be pleased with them); which is an enormous duty and a great demand (by Islām) that is fitting for us all to peek our interest and devote the utmost concern for. The honored reader should also know that our obligation to the companions is a part of our obligation to our religion is a part of our obligation to our religion; the religion of Islām which Allāh has approved for His servants. No other religion besides it will not be accepted from them as Allāh says, “Truly, the religion with Allah is Islām.” [Sūrah ʿAli ʿImrān 3:19] Likewise, Allāh says, “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter, he will be one of the losers.” [Sūrah ʿAli ʿImrān 3:85] This true religion and straight path is the religion of Allāh. Allāh selected a trustworthy Messenger; one who is a sincere advisor and wise; an honored Messenger who is Muḥammad (Peace be upon him). He conveyed this religion in a complete manner, explained it fully; and established what His Lord ordered in the most perfect aspect and circumstance as Allāh ordered him, “O Messenger (Muhammad)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allah guides not the people who disbelieve.” [Sūrah al-Mā’idah 5:67]
