Assalamu Alaikum everyone. I am new to this forum and have been reading the posts for a while and I realized what great personalities are coming together in this site giving their priceless opinions. As so, I thought that I would also seek the advice of all of you I wanted to know that from all the books that you've read in Arabic or Urdu, which books do you think would be most beneficial for the average English speaking muslim who only knows English, and should be translated as soon as possible. In my opinion, these books are very important, they are in Arabic and Urdu so far, 1) Hujjatullah al baligha by Shah Waliullah Dehlvi Rahmatullah Alaih 2) Tareekh ibn Khaldun with muqaddamah by Ibn Khaldun Rahmatullah Alaih 3) Al bidayah wan nihaya by Ibn Kathir Rahmatullah Alaih 4) Qasasul Awliya - translated in urdu by Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi Rahmatullah Alaih And lastly 5) Any books on biographies of great female personalities in Islam - this is very important because the muslim women are lacking in confidence in their roles as muslims Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
