26 Aug 2013

Question

As you are already aware, a lot of people especially the youth are slowly moving away from the traditional Islam practised in their homes to becoming ‘Salafi’. I have experienced this myself, with friends and cousins. Are there any good books you can recommend for me to recommend to them and also for myself. Although I am steadfast on the right path in sha Allah, I have difficulty trying to help guide them. Books that can answer their questions on all they claim to be ‘biddah’ i.e khatams and asking for help from the pious that have left this world.

Answer

Maybe you should study a book called Jaa al Haqq by Mufti Ahmed Yaar Khan Naeemi (رحمة الله عليه). It deals with a lot of the disputed issues in a single volume and has been translated into English. May Allah azzawajal give you tawfeeq.

Allah knows best.
