A Glimpse at Humor in the Prophetic Sunnah (2nd Edition) – Compilation & English Translation By Abul Hasan Malik Adam Al-Akhdar
Many believe that Islam prohibits humor, but this is a misconception. In fact, the noble Prophet of Islam used humor wisely: to comfort the grieving, extend warmth and affection to his loved ones, and bring joy to children.
This collection of authentic traditions on the Prophet’s humor is a valuable addition to the Islamic heritage. We pray it helps illuminate the illustrious example of Allah’s Messenger.

Legal Affairs of the Khul’u
This precious work shines a bright light on the rights of women in Islam, which are so broadly misunderstood, misrepresented, and outright undermined by people who speak in ignorance about the Shari’ah. The author quotes a key Qur’anic verse in the book: “Women have rights over men similar to the rights which men have over them, all in accordance with the known standards of goodness.” This book comprehensively addresses the topic of a woman’s right to end her marriage by way of a Khul’a,
Concerning this book, the author stated, “I, therefore, see it incumbent upon myself to write a work small in size yet full of knowledge which will bring justice for those who have been oppressed, to uncover [and bring to light] the rights of those who have had them wrongfully taken; so that each spouse knows what Allah has made mandatory upon him or her and so that harsh character is replaced by manners of the highest standard.”
