Book 10: The Book of Wisdoms (Al-Hikam al-‘Ata’iyyah) by Ibn Ata’illah al-Iskandari رحمه الله

A man should not confuse control with strength.

This book teaches surrender, sincerity, humility, reliance on Allah ﷻ, and freedom from ego, anxiety, and obsession with outcomes.

Before marriage, a man should learn that not everything will move according to his plan, mood, or desire.

He must know how to strive without arrogance, wait without bitterness, and accept without losing faith.

Because a peaceful home needs more than ambition.

It needs a man whose heart is not constantly fighting Allah’s ﷻ decree.

Has anybody read sapiens? Is it worth the hype?

how to stop from doomscrolling? 😩 i used to read books for hours but now i can only focus for like 5 minutes 🙂

You can tell when somebody reads books, watches films, travels, and really lives. they speak with texture.

Read
The first command was not, "Become."
It was, "Read."
Perhaps because a heart that learns to read will never stop discovering.
Some of us read pages, yet never pause to read ourselves.
Some of us search the horizon, yet overlook the signs Allah has placed within our own hearts.
Every sunrise asks a question. Every passing season tells a story. Every trial leaves behind a lesson. Every blessing invites gratitude.
The world has never stopped pointing.
The question is: have we learned to see?
Maybe reading was never meant to end with words on a page.
Maybe it was always meant to teach us to recognize the signs of Allah wherever they appear, until every moment reminds us of the One who created it.
And perhaps the most beautiful reader is not the one who finishes the most pages, but the one whose heart is transformed by what it has read.

This section seems like it can be useful.

Book 9: The Book of Assistance (Risalat al-Mu‘awanah) by Imam Abdullah ibn Alawi al-Haddad رحمه الله

A man should not live randomly and then complain that his life has no barakah.

This book is about intention, discipline, prayer, remembrance, sincerity, time, brotherhood, character, and preparing the heart for Allah ﷻ.

Before marriage, a man should learn how to build his inner life, not just his career, image, or income.

Because a home does not only need provision.

It needs a man whose heart has direction, whose habits have discipline, and whose life has remembrance of Allah ﷻ.

salam guys,

i need some book recommendations. my favorite genre is historical fiction but a problem i’ve ran into is a lot of them have blatant propaganda laced throughout (l’attentat by “yasmina khadra” for example) so now i’m open to any genre.

Can anyone please suggest me a good introductory freshman level university textbook for Islamic economics? ( Preferably with calculus)
