Deeds of the Heart
The issue of the deeds of the hearts is an immensely important subject, and this is why many scholars have written countless books on the subject – in order to remind and encourage people to perform them. These deeds require sacrifice and exertion because one’s salvation is dependant on them; moreover, the deeds of the limbs will not be performed if these of the heart are absent. Reliance upon Allaah is something that has an immense impact on a person; it is an implication of belief and is one of the finest deeds and acts of worship by which the slave can draw close to Allaah, the All-Merciful; It is one of the highest ranks of Islaamic monotheism because nothing can occur except through one relying and depending upon Allaah for it to do so.

Contemplation
Contemplation is one of the greatest deeds performed by the heart; it is the key that opens the door which allows the light of guidance to enter; it is the initial step in the direction of correct understanding and comprehension; many people know its virtue but are unaware of its reality, essence and its fruits. Allaah Has commanded us to contemplate, but few do so. This book is an adaption of a friday khutbah given by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid which explains the ways in which contemplation can beefit the believer.

Shaykh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 13 | Size: 1 MB
This short book explains the necessity for the proper collection and distribution of Zakat. Zakaat al-Fitr is a kind of charity (sadaqah) that is obligatory at the time of breaking the fast of Ramadaan. The word zakaat is connected by idaafah (genitive structure in Arabic grammar) to fitr because the occasion of breaking the fast is the reason why this zakaat becomes obligatory.

Marriage and What “People Say”
Beloved Muslims! Do you not think that the spreading of impermissible acts necessitates that we re-evaluate the issue of marriage and facilitate it? corruption is approaching us from all directions, for it seems that what we had on the ground was not enough, that they (the disbelievers) have attacked us even from the skies (i.e., by means of satellites). They have disseminated evil everywhere, to the extent that teenagers are surely exposed to prohibitions through satellite channels and they may even watch pornography; they see naked or virtually nude women on television – what, then, is the solution?

Dangers in the Home
Putting things right in the home is a great trust and huge responsibility which every Muslim man and woman should undertake as Allaah commands; they should run the affairs of their homes in accordance with the rules set out by Allaah. One of the ways of achieving this is by ridding the home of evil things. The following aims to highlight some evil things that actually happen in some homes and that have become tools of destruction for the nests in which the future generations of the Muslim ummah are being raised.

The Rights Of Children In Islam
Shaykh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 06 | Size: 1 MB
Islamic Legislation takes great interest in, and attaches great importance to children, and many rulings, etiquettes and instructions were laid down concerning them. Unfortunately, we live in a time were the radiant sun of Islamic rulings has set; knowledge has disappeared; and blind imitation of the west and ignorance in general is widespread. Many Muslims who fell in love with the western way of life became interested in how the westerners take care of their children, as well as what they do to bring joy and happiness to their children; at the same time, these Muslims neglected everything that Islam has to offer in this regard. This book is an adaption of a friday khutbah given by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid explaining how the Muslim should raise his children.
