Prescription of authentic books in Seerah, Tafseer and Tareekh

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Brother in Islam,

Your desire to research and read authentic books written by our Ulama is very encouraging and it is of paramount importance especially in today’s time. The reason for this is that the mind-set of the author has a psychological effect on the reader, and if the author’s aqeeda (faith) is incorrect so will be the effect on the reader.

1. Maariful Quraan by Hazrat Mufti Shafi Uthmani Rahmatullahi Alaihi
