Fatḥ al-Bārī sharh al-Bukhārī (‘Victory of the Creator: Commentary on Bukhārī)’ by Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalānī is widely considered to be the finest commentary on the greatest book of hadith.

https://www.meccabooks.com/1374-fath-al-bari-victory-of-the-creator-commentary-on-sahih-al-bukhari-volume-1-9781909460119.html

Sahih Al-Bukhari Al-Shareef – The Sultan Edition The Sultan edition was commissioned by Sultan Abdul Hamid II and printed in 1313 AH / 1895 CE in Egypt in nine volumes. A group of sixteen erudite scholars from Egypt, led by the Grand Shaykh of al-Azhar, Hassunah al-Nawawi reviewed it; and later Shaykh al-Islam, the Ottoman highest religious authority in the Muslim World, approved it, alongside another committee of the most learned scholars in Istanbul. What made this edition unique was the fact that it was printed according to the famous Yunini manuscript – the most authoritative copy of Sahih al-Bukhari. This, made the Sultan’s edition the most reliable copy of Sahih al-Bukhari. Since the Sultan printed only 1000 copies His edition became a piece of antiquity, with several generations of scholars growing up hearing about it, but never seeing it. This new edition is a reproduction by facsimile of the Sultan’s edition with its beauty and authenticity based on a rare and flawless copy housed in the library of Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi – to which the Shaykh generously granted access during the reproduction of this facsimile. Sahih al-Bukhari is soundest book in Islam after the Quran, therefore, it must be given due respect and reverence, and produced with luxury and augustness. In This facsimile edition, Signatora presents the 10 volumes of Sahih Bukhari full of endless beauty and unmatched elegance. Wait… there is more. The collection includes a new book that has never been published before; it is introduction to Sahih Al-Bukhari, by Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi. This book helps you read the Sahih and understand how Imam Bukhari compiled it, what he included in it. It reveals the life of the author and matchless features of his book. Every reader of Sahih al-Bukhari must have this Introduction. A precious copy that you will treasure for ever. Have a look at this edition, and feel it in your hand at one of our announced events, and we guarantee that you are go

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad - Paradigm of Leadership - Sukayna bint al-Hussein Radhi'Allahu Anha

The life of Sayyida Sukayna bint al-Hussain shows us that the people in the time of the Prophet’s ﷺ successors were diverse; and it was a time of hope, a time of happiness in the face of very considerable, sometimes excruciating adversity, and a time essentially of the embrace of life and of its brighter aspects.

Sayyida Sukayna bint al-Husayn (117 AH, Madinah)

Full Paper :http://maktabah.org/blog/?p=2599

"Sayyida Sukayna was a blessed daughter of our master Imām Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī-Ṭālib and Lady Rabāb, may Allāh be pleased with them all, and a princess of the family of the Prophet ṣall-Allāhu ʿalaihi wa-sallam.
She was granddaughter of our master Imām ʿAlī and our mistress Lady Fāṭima Zuhrā, and a great-granddaughter of the Lord of the Prophets ṣall-Allāhu ʿalaihi wa-sallam.
Her birth name was Amīna, but her mother gave her the title Sukayna and that became her name afterwards. Later, the pronunciation of the name changed to Sakīna which is more popular today than the original Sukayna.
She was the best of the noble ladies of her time, the most beautiful among them, the most elegant, and the nicest in mannerism.
Her beauty was unparalleled in the women of Arabia, to the extent that people would often exemplify a beautiful woman by saying that she had “the forehead of Sukayna.”
She was the best poet of her age. The great poets of Quraysh used to learn from her.
In her childhood, she was engaged with her cousin ʿAbdu’llāh ibn Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī. However, he received martyrdom before marrying her.
She accompanied her father and family to Karbalā in 61 AH, where most of her male family members were martyred by the Yazīdian tyrants. She witnessed this calamity at a young age and lost her brothers, cousins, uncles and her blessed father Imām Ḥusayn."
"She had inherited all the virtues and qualities of her ancestors. She faced extreme hardships throughout her life but faced them with patience and forbearance. Her generosity was a manifestation of her noble grandparents. One day, many poets had gathered at the door of her house, including the well known Jarīr and Farazdaq. She ordered her maid to give away one million dirhams to them.
She lived most of her life in Madīnah. The journey of her life ended in the month of Rabīʿ al-Awwal 117 AH in Madīnah according to the strongest opinion of historians. Her body was scented with thirty dīnārs worth of perfume. Her funeral prayer was led by Shaybah ibn Naṣṣāḥ, and she was buried in the Baqīʿ cemetery."

Beads of Dew from the Source of Life
(Rashahat 'Ain al-Hayat)
by Mawlana 'Ali Ibn Husain Safi.
http://www.al-baz.com/ourbooks_page4.shtml

'Ali ibn Husain Safi , the author of the Rashahat, lived in the beginning of the 10th Century AH. He was brother-in-law of the famous mystic and poet Jami who gave him the name 'Safi'. In the Rashahat 'Ain al-Hayat, Safi gives an account of the lives and teachings of a group of Sufi mystics known as the Khwajagan - the Masters of Wisdom. The Khwajagan lived in Central Asia between the 4th and the 9th centuries Hijri. The ranks of the Khwajagan include the great sufis 'Abd al-Khaliq al-Ghujdawani and Baha' al-Din Naqshband, who gave his name to the Naqshbandi order, though he did not found it. The many branches of the Naqshbandiyya survive to this day. This book is the first translation of the Rashahat into English and provides the present generation with clear and precise biographies of the great and genuine sufis who emerged in Turkestan at a most significant period.

by Jo-Ann Gross (Author), Asam Urunbaev (Author)

https://www.amazon.com/Letters-Khwajah-Associates-Library-English/dp/9004126031

This English edition of the correspondence of Khwāja 'Ubayd Allāh Aḥrār, the fifteenth-century Central Asian Naqshbandī Sufi shaykh, and his associates provides surprising new insights into the sociopolitical and economic history of premodern Central Asia and the influential roles of Sufi leaders of the time. It contains the extraordinary collection of autograph letters from the Majmū'a-yi murāsalāt, a unique manuscript housed at the Institute of Oriental Studies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, with petitions to the Timurid court at Herat.
The letters cover such topics as internecine conflict, peacemaking, taxation, property and endowments, trade, migration, Islamic piety and law, material support of shaykhs and students, and relief from oppression. Three introductory chapters discuss the Central Asian Naqshbandīya, Khwāja 'Ubayd Allāh Aḥrār, the social, historical, economic and political significance of the letters, and the manuscript and its authors. With the Persian transcription and a complete facsimile of the manuscript letters reproduced at the end of the work

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad- Paradigm of Leadership # 8 - Shaykh ul Islam Ebussuud Effendi (RA)

Shaykh ul Islam Ebussuud Effendi - Abdal Hakim Murad - Paradigm of Leadership

Ebussuud Effendi was the paradigmatic Ottoman ‘alim. Not just in terms of the legal and the spiritual culture which he occupied, but also because in many ways he understood the tension that existed between local, imperial pragmatism and the idealising discourse of the sharia. In this session, Shaykh Abdal Hakim evaluates the extent to which he tried to bring together customary law and the sultanic decree with the ideals of the Hanafi sharia, making him one of greatest scholars of the Ottoman Empire.

The Life and Times of Shaikh Nizam-u'd-Din Auliya - Khaliq Ahmad Nizami

https://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/life-and-times-of-shaikh-nizam-u-d-din-auliya-NAG644/?currency=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwppSEBhCGARIsANIs4p5kT9Jdjf61ueLLotThZKt-qtlpT8cMh0WHkxGRNo-ZIaIT033E0tsaAs1SEALw_wcB

"Few saints in the long and chequered history of medieval India had such impact on the life and thought of their contemporaries as Shaikh Nizarn-u’d-din Auliya (1244-1325). For more than half a century, his khanqah in Delhi was a rendezvous for people drawn from different backgrounds-villagers and townsfolk, men and women, scholars and illiterates, rich and poor. The Shaikh had taken upon himself the stupendous task, of showing people the way to God and inspiring them with that faith and confidence in Him which sustained them in their life struggles. Toynbee thought that ‘the practical test of a religion, always and everywhere, is its success or failure in helping human souls to respond to the challenges of suffering and sin.’ By that measure, Shaikh Nizam-u’d-din Auliya’srole in the religious history of South Asia was of immense significance. For him ‘bringing happiness to the human heart’ was the essence of religion. Amir Khusrau, one of his many famous students, and one who realized the measure of his achievement in reorienting religious attitudes in that period, called him ‘healer of the heart (tabib-i-dil), His life story, in fact, forms a fascinating chapter in the history of the philanthropic effort of man to reduce the woe and worry of his fellow human beings. Ibn Battuta has referred to a trust which was created in Damascus to bring solace to broken hearts.” Shaikh Nizarn-u’d-din Auliya’s own life became a trust of this type"

Nizam Ad-Din Awliya: Morals for the Heart - Bruce Lawrence

https://www.amazon.com/Nizam-Ad-Din-Awliya-Classics-Spirituality/dp/0809104512

The first and foremost representative of a literary genre that attained great popularity among South Asian Sufis, Fawa'id al-Fu'ad or Morals for the Heart, contains the conversations of a major Indian saint, Shaykh Nizam ad-din Awliya (d. 1325). Though recorded by a poet-disciple Amir Hasan, they were edited by the saint himself, and reflect his chaste, understated tone. In its style Morals for the Heart exemplifies the virtue of Persian prose as a didactic instrument. It communicates the numerous skills, the diverse moods, and the remarkable sensibilities of its austere subject. It captures the spirit of Shaykh Nizam ad-din's towering presence, his absolute loyalty to his spiritual master, his taste for poetry and music, and his empathy with the sufferings of others. We see him crying and laughing and praying. Passionate in his quest for God, he has left in Morals for the Heart a spiritual legacy that still animates and satisfies others who never knew him. Here Muslims discover one more treasure from their pre-modern past. Here non-Muslims encounter an Islam that brings peace and spiritual insight. Here all humanity is stilled by the saga of a Muslim exemplar who enshrined sacrifice and love as the highest goals of human existence when framed by faith in God.

"The Anglo-Muslim community has produced many stormy petrels over the centuries. Religious dissidents, adventurers, romancers, scholar-pilgrims – all have enriched the diverse and colourful story that is British Islam. Peter Lyall, the Scotsman who became an admiral in the Ottoman navy; Abdullah Quilliam, the Liverpool solicitor who founded a mosque and orphanage in which Christian waifs were raised as Muslims; Benjamin Bishop, His Majesty’s consul in Cairo who turned Muslim and mysteriously disappeared; Lord Headley the peer; Lady Evelyn Cobbold the explorer and pilgrim to Mecca; Mubarak Churchward, the stage-painter and friend of Lily Langtry; the anonymous Scotsman who became governor of Madina; and many more. Few, however, lived such adventurous lives as the celebrated Hajji Abdullah Fadhil al-Zubayr, born William Williamson, remembered even today in the Gulf and Iraq, where his many descendants still retell his exploits."
"For the next two years, Abdullah studied Arabic and Islam under the ulema of Kuweit. He also spent time travelling through the flat immensities of the northern Arabian deserts, where he learned to love the camel and the Arabian horse. Buying and selling these animals brought him a modest income, with which he was able to contemplate the next great turning-point of his life: joining the Hajj caravan of 1894."
"The Hajji left the oil business in 1937, and retired to a small house in the village of Kut al-Hajjaj near Basra. Here he raised children and grandchildren, amazing them with tales of his remarkable life. For fifteen years thereafter, until his health failed him, he was a regular sight at the Ashar Mosque in Basra, and seldom missed the opportunity of attending a well-delivered class on religion. Back at home, he would sit with his amber and black prayer beads, his collection of religious books, and – a lifetime indulgence – a set of penny-Westerns with titles like Two-Gun Pete and Mayhem in Dodge City. Nothng could be more remote from the quiet desk-bound career which his father had planned for him on a distant Victorian afternoon; but the Hajji, whose path through life demonstrated so colourfully the universal appeal of Islam and the resilience of his native temper, would not have had it any other way. Loved by his large and vigorous family, he passed into the mercy of his Lord with a heart as serene as it was full of years."

YouTube Lecture # 1 Imam Shamil : https://youtu.be/e1EG4MEMEl8

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad tells the story of Imam Shamil, political, military, and spiritual leader of Caucasian resistance to Imperial Russia in the 1800s. He is the first of many exemplary figures in Islamic history in this series. Muslim history brims with detailed accounts of incredible leaders. Some are better known than others but they all demonstrated a range of beautiful leadership qualities that we can learn from today.
In Paradigms of Leadership – an ongoing Lecture Series – Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad chooses exemplary figures in Islamic history of every generation, geography and gender, drawing out particular lessons for us: both in the way they carried themselves through society and in the principles they employed in handling the urgent challenges of their day. Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad (Dr Timothy Winter) was educated at Cambridge, Al-Azhar and London universities. He is currently the Shaykh Zayed Lecturer of Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University and Director of Studies in Theology at Wolfson College. He has published and contributed to numerous academic works on Islam, including as Director of the Sunna Project, and is a leading figure in inter-faith activity, notably as one of the signatories to the Common Word statement. He is well-known as a contributor to BBC Radio 4’s ‘Thought for the Day’. Cambridge Muslim College is the original vision of Abdal Hakim Murad.

Imam Shamil Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_Shamil

BOOK : Imam Shamil: The First Muslim Guerrilla Leader - Muhammad Hamid - The tragedy that overtook and continues to befall on Muslims in the shape of the destruction of their independence and power would have been sufficient to kill their will to live, were it not for a group of fighters who refuse to concede that slavery can be the destiny of Muslims. Muslims have continuously nurtured the sentiment of Jihad in their hearts. Imam Shamil's story of jihad against the Russians is a part of the same story. Little is known of the Muslims of Chechnya and the occupation of their lands by the Tsarist Russian invaders. The Sufi movement in the Caucasus in the eighteenth century was not a Muslim cult occupied merely in chanting God's praise: their jihad movement led by Imam Shamil is an epic story of faith in God and a legacy that Muslims cherish, to be retold from generation to generation. https://www.amazon.com/Imam-Shamil-Muslim-Guerrilla-Leader/dp/9839541544

This course will deal in depth with Book 37 of Imam al-Ghazali’s Revival of the Religious Sciences, entitled ‘Studies of Imam al-Ghazali"-Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad - Alqueria de Rosales Campus, Spain- July 13,14,15,16, 2017

Watch all of Shaikh Abdal Hakim's Ghazali conferences of 2017 here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...The Book of Intention, Sincerity and Truthfulness’. Students will cover issues related to human consciousness, will and motivation, definitions of sincerity (ikhlas), and practical methods of avoiding hypocrisy and confused intentions. The objective is to gain clearer knowledge of the reasons for the turbulence of our inner lives and to gain some practical awareness of how Islamic spirituality cleanses the thoughts and transforms us into more centred and conscious human beings.

Al-Ghazali on Intention, Sincerity and Truthfulness: Book 37 of the Revival of the Religious Sciences

Al-Ghazali on Intention, Sincerity & Truthfulness is the thirty-seventh chapter of the Revival of the Religious Sciences. It falls in the section dealing with the virtues. Here Ghazali deals with the very important subject of intention, which is of crucial importance in Islam. He asks: 'How can someone ignorant of the meaning of intention verify his own intention; or how can someone ignorant of the meaning of sincerity verify his own sincerity; or how can someone sincerely claim truthfulness if he has not verified its meaning?'
In the Book of Intention, Sincerity & Truthfulness, Ghazali gives a response to each of these questions by expounding the reality and levels of intention, sincerity and truthfulness, those acts which affirm them and those acts which mar them. As in all his writings, Ghazali bases his arguments on the Qur'an, the example of the Prophet and the sayings of numerous scholars and Sufis.

On Intention, Truthfulness and Sincerity- DVD - Shaykh Yahya Rhodus

No matter how outwardly correct we may seem, without inward purity and sincerity our spiritual practice and our moral life are meaningless. Here we learn the importance of sincerity and right intention, and how to rectify our inward consciousness to ensure that everything we do is uplifted by a clear and good purpose. Sheikh Yahya Rhodus explains at Alqueria De Rosales, Granada.
