Islamic Books - Reviews of Recent Bestsellers:
As there are
a number of Islamic books being published every year, it becomes hard to select
ones that are fact based and good to read from the scores available in stores.
For a book lover like me, the most important part of reading is the selection
of books that I read in order to get something informative, well written and
not repetitive. For this very reason, I always end up doing more research about
recent books before I go to buy one. Here is little compilation of the most
popular Islamic books in the recent times that were interesting to read!
"No god
but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam" by Reza Aslan
This was one
of the well researched Islamic books that I read recently. Written by Aslan, it
described a little bit of the pre Islam Arab world, leading to the life and
teaching of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It also gives an insight of the spread of
Islam to the eastern world and the Sufi methods of teachings. Even though this
book was factual, it was written in a fun to read and easy to understand manner
that proved to be an interesting read.
"The
Name of the Named" by Sheikh Tosun Bayrak
Another one
of the great Islamic books; it gives an insight about the 99 names of Allah swt
and their meanings and significance. For Muslim readers this book is a great
inspiration to view the numerous attributes of Allah, whereas the non Muslim
reader can also gain a lot from reading this book in terms of learning about
the magnanimous and divine qualities of Allah. Another great aspect of this book
is the author's explanation of how to utilize these different names to have an
impact on the souls of the people.
"What
is Sufism?" by Martin Lings
Amongst the
various Islamic books of Sufism, this Martin Lings work tends to stand out and
shine. As Martin Lings is a specialist of Islamic Culture, his work is
thoroughly well researched and introduces the world of mysticism to the reader
from the beginner's level. It answers questions that the reader might have
about what the Sufi's believed in and what they preached. It is one of the
truly well written Islamic books about the topic that leaves the readers
intrigued and satisfied about Sufism at the same time!
After
reading Islamic books for over a decade, it has become clear to me that not all
writers can do justice to the subject matter, and it is best to read these
books with an open mind in order to get understand the basic point of view of
the authors. The Islamic books that reach the bestselling lists of the popular
book reviews are most frequently the ones that are worth reading, but sometimes
you also find a treasure buried in the heaps of books lying around unnoticed!
