The common perception of Islam in the media is one of austerity and
rigidity, and in extreme cases, severe cruelty. The situation is
not helped by the strict and narrow-minded interpretation of the
religion by a number its adherents. However, those who are willing
to scratch below the surface and look further will see that nothing
is further from the truth; that Islam does not teach anything
except universal love, mercy, compassion, peace & benevolence.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri is an eminent and internationally
renowned Islamic scholar, orator and author. In this book, he
presents numerous quotations from the Qur'an and authentic hadith
to help the reader discover the prime position of the qualities of
mercy and compassion in the Islamic faith. Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has
meticulously referenced all quotations to ensure accuracy and
clarity in order to dispel any doubts about the matter. Through his
distinctive solid scholarship and methodology, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri
demonstrates how Islam promotes spiritual endeavour, moderation,
ease and tolerance, and is not merely concerned with ritualism and
outward forms of piety. For Muslims, this book is essential reading
to help reclaim Islam back from those who portray it as merely a
socio-political enterprise devoid of compassion for humanity and
the rest of creation. Non-Muslims, on the other hand, will be able
to appreciate these lesser known aspects of Islam, which in fact
form its core philosophy.
The world is facing a great dilemma due to despicable, inhumane and
barbaric acts of terrorism, indiscriminate killings, warfare,
anarchy, disorder and suicide bombings over the past two decades.
It is not only destroying the peace of any specific region, group
or country but has become a major threat to world peace. Young
People and Students living in various western countries who do not
have conceptual clarity regarding Islam are wronglyconsidering
terrorism and indiscriminate killing to be Jihad and are being
drawn towards it.A further disturbing issue with regards to this is
that the terrorists declare their evil goals to be part of the
Islamic concept of Jihad. Furthermore they speak of enforcing the
Islamic Shariah according to their extremist and terrorist
ideology. They call for the re-establishment of the Caliphate as
part of their ideology; and they use the Islamic terminologies and
concepts of Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) to legally justify their
claims. By quoting the Qur'an, hadith and texts from the books of
Islamic Law out of context, they influence common Muslims who are
not acquainted with the true teachings of Islam, especially
youngsters.There is a need to provide authentic, comprehensive
material against extremism to all people, from every walk of life,
according to their needs, so that the conceptual and ideological
confusions which may lead to terrorismcan be eliminated. The

The Holy Quran presents an irrefutable basis and belief system for
the establishment of a stable and harmonious life in this world,
and a triumphant return to Paradise in the Next. There are
misunderstandings about the very source-springs of human well-being
the belief in the spiritual realities of existence, the infinite
love for the Holy Messenger, and the unity regarding the
implementation of the divinely revealed programme for human
society.Young people all over the world, Muslim as well as
non-Muslim, are brought up and educated in an environment permeated
by scientific materialism. It is modern learning which programmes
their minds and causes them to reject anything they find
incompatible with what they have been taught about man and life on
the earth. This book will clarify the misunderstandings and
confusions about Islamic spirituality on scientific
grounds.Scientific orthodoxy refers to magnetic sensitivity in
human beings, electromagnetic energies that permeate our
atmosphere, the flow of positive and negative ions in the
atmosphere affecting human brain activity, the function of the
pineal gland and many other empirical sources of transcendent
experience that are yet to be investigated. This magnetic energy
basis of spiritual experience, which the scientific camp has been
forced into revealing, has proved to be a welcome development of
modern science from the point of view of Islamic spirituality.The
younger generation of modern times will have their belief
reconfirmed by the study of the scientific facts cited in this
book. The scientific reality of Islamic spirituality is
demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the focus of love and
devotion for one fifth of humanity. Even outsiders cannot deny his
political genius and great statesmanship as the founder of a new
world order and the stimulus for a succession of brilliant and
progressive civilisations. But a study of his life in these terms
overlooks arguably his most essential qualities - his mercy and
benevolence. Internationally renowned Islamic scholar, Dr Muhammad
Tahir-ul-Qadri has produced a work unrivalled in its comprehensive
treatment of the subject matter, illustrating the merciful
character of the Prophet in all its aspects, towards humans and
more generally towards all beings. Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has reproduced
a solid corpus of references from the Qur'an, along with reliable
Hadith, specially selected for authenticity and relevance. All
sources are meticulously referenced in Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri's
characteristic style. This book shows how in spite of immense
hardships and painful ordeals, the mercy and compassion of the
Prophet remained to the fore, even towards those who opposed and
persecuted him. For Muslims, this book will be a means to celebrate
the magnanimous personality of the Prophet and an incentive to
instil the great qualities of the Prophet in their own lives, while
non-Muslims and academics will discover how these qualities as
described in the Islamic literature have caused the Prophet to
occupy his preeminent position in the religious consciousness of
Muslims.

This book by renowned scholar and recognised authority on Islam,
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, is a discourse on the
legal position of celebrating the Mawlid al-Nabi (birthday of the
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)) within Islam. Most notably, the author has
comprehensively compiled evidences from the authentic source texts
and classical authorities to prove not only the permissibility of
celebrating the Mawlid al-Nabi within the bounds of the Shari'a
(Islamic Law) but also that it is divinely ordained and was a Sunna
(practice) of the Prophet himself. The author presents unique and
compelling arguments showing why celebrating Mawlid al-Nabi is not
only an act of righteousness, but a need of our time. Tackling the
various criticisms of this act head on, he specifically addresses
the issue of why the first generation of Muslims did not celebrate
the Mawlid, and clarifies that labelling the Mawlid as an bid'ah
(innovation) betrays a fundamental and serious flaw in the
understand of the Islamic concept of bid'ah.

The labor market in Islam is governed by the Islamic laws of
fairness, justice, and reward that is equivalent to the job done.
Most of the literature in the field discusses the normative aspect
of the labor market, whereas few attempts can be seen to address
more positive aspects. There is a need for new theoretical and
empirical models for the Islamic labor market, which should differ
from established approaches. This book provides a comprehensive
overview of the nature, scope, and dimensions of the labor market
in an Islamic context, from both theoretical and practical
perspectives. It presents and discusses labor economics and then
compares the similarities and differences between conventional and
Islamic views of the labor market, explaining where they meet, and
critically justifying why they differ, under the umbrella of
Shari'ah. The book raises pertinent issues, which it analyzes from
both standpoints and widens the discourse to include norms,
morality, and related institutions such as social security and
welfare. A unique feature of the book is that it examines labor
economics practices among a specific group of countries, and
studies the labor conditions within these countries, where the
majority of the population follow the teachings of Islam in their
daily lives. The book proposes practical strategies for the
development of new models for the Islamic labor market which are
compatible with the modern world. The book will enable academics
and practitioners of Islamic economics to make economic sense of
Shari'ah compliance and human resource development.

erudite insight into the life and teaching of Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) and fourteen centuries of Islamic scholarship,
Dr Qadri's 512-page, detailed fatwa demolishes the theological
arguements advanced by terrorists in prisons, on websites, videos
and their literature which are root causes of today's home grown
terrorists which the west is trying to tackle. For the first time

Washington D.C. based expert on Islam, Prof John Esposito of
Georgetown University and Introduction by Dr. Joel Hayward (Royal
Air Force College, UK) and a validation by Al-Azhar University,
