Some Recent (Arabic) Publications of Exceptional Quality: Review by Mawlana Abu Asim Badrul Islam

By the grace of Allah Most Magnificent, the world has witnessed in recent times an unprecedented Islamic awakening. Just as Muslims are rediscovering their iman, non- Muslims have been intrigued by the Deen of Allah and ever growing numbers have been embracing Islam.

Consequently, works of the great ‘ulama of Islam are being discovered, researched and brought out into the light of day through advanced modern publishing like never before. The list of such works would be very exhaustive indeed, as almost every other week brings news of yet another great publication. Below is a list of some recent publications that I had made for a friend who had gone book shopping after his Hajj in Madinah Munawwarah and had asked for recommendations. These are by no means all the books that have been published in such high quality in recent years; they are ones that I have purchased or am familiar with.
