More pearls . . .

In reference to our last post on Reflections of Pearls, check out the other pearls we have!

And don’t forget one of our newest pearls:

Pearls of Purity

More pearls . . .

Rihla 2005 Text: Reflections of Pearls

We are now carrying Reflections of Pearls! This was the text that Shaykh Hamza taught in Madinah during the Rihla 2005. Here is a description of this wonderful book:

A consise and comprehensive collection of prophetic invocations and prayers.

Allah, Most High, says: “Remember me and I will remember you” (Qur’an 40:60)

We feel a sense of belonging, protection, and safety when we call out to Allah. When coupled with the powerful formulae of supplication (du’a) and remembrance (dhikr), this calling leads to a feeling of tranquility within our hearts and minds. With this goal in mind, Muslims scholars have compiled numerous books of supplications and remembrances from the Qur’an and Prophetic Sunna.

This is the third edition of Reflections of Pearls, a short compilation of Arabic supplications with their English translations and transliterations. Other sections include the etiquettes of supplicating, the 99 names of Allah, select blessings on the Messenger of Allah (saw), the virtues and excellences of certain chapters and verses of the Holy Qur’an, and the method of performing the Istikhara, Ishraq, and other optional prayers. Both adults and children will enjoy and benefit from reading this book.

* Carefully selected du’as for ease of learning
* Arabic text set out in clear Arabic script withlucid English translation
* Transliteration presented in an easy-to-read format
