ISLAMIC PUBLISHING

Our aim throughout this book, which is a compilation of various articles supplemented by some further examples, has been to ensure a better understanding of the nature of that celebrated, sacred age. To further serve this purpose and to provide a better idea of the breathtaking improvement human character has undergone since, we have tried to render our subject matter more tangible by including some examples of the innumerable scenes of virtue belonging to that age.
The Asr-u Saadah therefore is the Age of Bliss, the most ideal of times. So the Age of Bliss refers to an age of peace and happiness, in which human beings enjoyed the greatest joy thinkable.

The Almighty, in His wisdom, created the universe and appointed mankind as His vicegerents on earth, endowing them with the predisposition for faith and worship. To facilitate humanity’s return to Paradise, He bestowed upon them numerous blessings such as intellect, heart, perception, conscience, and discernment. The compilation of commands and prohibitions revealed by Allah for the eternal happiness of humanity is termed “religion.”
In the content of this short book, you will encounter a variety of interpretations of Judaism and Christianity, which, due to modification, have deviated from the essence of Islam, our sublime religion which has provided to the humanity, with the most perfect guidelines through the miraculous Quran, which has remained unchanged since its revelation.

This book delves into the Ottoman past and explores a slice of history where powerful rulers from a mighty state once held sway over the world. It highlights their acts of mercy, compassion, and love as they sought divine approval in the territories they governed. You will read about the instructive aspects of their life stories, filled with service and heroism, and the advice and actions that shaped society, ultimately showcasing their exemplary personalities and inner lives.
Imagine the illustrious state they established with four hundred horsemen, a grand tree casting its shade over three continents for more than six centuries. Eventually, it left behind numerous forsaken statelets and transformed into an illustrious shrine in the historical landscape. Now, our responsibility is to be worthy caretakers of their enduring legacy.

Our Prophet Muhammad - Peace be upon him - was educated directly by the Almighty Allah. 
He was - Peace be upon him - entrusted with the education of humanity, and our Rabb appointed him as the Mercy to the Worlds. He was sent as the most exceptional educator of mankind, the perfect teacher, and guide.
Therefore the only method we need to cultivate ourselves and our generations in the character of the perfect human model desired by our Creator, and in the stature of a servant that pleases Him is His educational method, His system of upbringing...
So with this small volume, based on examples from Hadiths, we humbly made an effort to summarize the upbringing system of our beloved Prophet Muhammad - Peace be upon him -.

We do not know how Paradise spoke with all its beauty and grandeur or the nature of that speech. 
However, the first truth that Paradise expressed in response to the divine command was to reiterate the condition for salvation emphasized in the Quranic verse.
In this book you will find the way that, regarding the Holy Quran, the Sun of guidance, the prophet’s Muhammed – peace be upon him and the explanation from Muslims scholars as Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, as to be followed to reach the paradise in few words the felicity of salvation.
We wish you to have a good understanding of the way that will bring, all of us, to the eternal success, the Paradise:
“They are the inheritors who will inherit Paradise, and they will abide therein forever.” (Al-Muʼminun, 10-11).

Allah Almighty wants us to adopt the language of the Holy Qur’an. The language of Prophet Muhammed (saw), which is the most exquisite and unambiguous example of this language.
The language of the last Prophet (saw), as found in his Hadith is the best instructions on life. Hadiths are the most elegant, sublime and beautiful language that provides comfort to hearts.
This booklet, which you hold in your hand, is a brief overview of the educational and nurturing aspects of this magnificent language.
It is essential to remember that each one of us has a duty to learn and apply the language of instruction and the methods of how to reach out to convey the Message of God in the footsteps of our Prophet (saw).

The heart of a Muslim is one that is shaped by Islam. It is a heart that is pure, untainted and transparent, as if to say, “Look mankind! There is nothing in here that can harm you!” This kind of a heart is the most beautiful gift one can possibly take to Allah the Almighty, simply because it is “…a polished mirror which reflects the beautiful names of Allah.”
The book, distilled from the heart of the honourable Osman Nuri Topbas and which draws from observations based on contemplation and the Islamic tradition of wisdom that can be referred to as “the Muslims’ treasure chest”, comprises measures pertaining to the desired state of a Muslim’s heart. Much like a digital archive that opens up to hundreds of sub-folders, each of these measures contain meanings that could well become books in their own right.

It is the only worldview, contemplative horizon, and order of life that will suffice for the needs of all humanity until the end of time, without the need for any other ideology, religion, or worldview.
Magnificent Islamic principles are necessary for the peace and happiness of all humanity. Seeking happiness in this world and the afterlife according to other worldviews is analogous to the situation of a poor beggar unaware that he is sitting on a treasure who is hungry and helpless and extends his hand to others.

…Recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones. (Al-Muzzammil : 4).
Al-Bara Ibn Azib told from God's messenger said: “Beautify the Qur’an with your voices, for the beautiful voice increases the beauty of the Qur’an.” (Abu Dawood, 8, Hadith 1468; Ibn Majah, 5, Hadith 1342).
Regarding those instructions extracted from the Holy Qur’an and our beloved Prophet words we have prepared this booklet with the main aim to be helpful for our dear readers on the way of learning Tadjwid which in the context of the recitation of the Quran, tajwīd (Arabic: تجويد tajwīd,) is a set of rules for the correct pronunciation of the letters with all their qualities and applying the various traditional methods of recitation (Qira'at). Technically, tajwīd means giving every letter its right in reciting the Qur'an.

Ilm al-Hal is a handbook of every Muslim individual and family. It consists of issues common to all believers without exception and information about their responsibilities that begin as soon as they reach puberty. These can be summarized as the lawful and the prohibited that are encountered in Islamic creed, acts of worship and daily life. We can call all these “priority information”. Because a person whose standards of faith are wrong and does not know how to serve Allah cannot be expected to observe Islamic standards in other areas of life. The "Basic Islamic Principles (ʿIlmi Ḥāl) According to Four Sunni Schools" aims to provide the criteria by highlighting their basis in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Its purpose is to confront the Muslims with the Owner of Ruling, thus reminding the divine dimension of their responsibility. The process of acquiring Islamic knowledge, which starts with learning the principles of creed, acts of worship and daily life found in this book and then and living in accordance with that knowledge, will lead the person to adopt Islam as a whole life system. Because Islam, in fact, encompasses the whole life.
