I wanted to read some books about Islam..i want to start with Quranic explaination type of books..then i want to move on to Hadith books..and then human related (i mean where someone’s opinion is counted)..in my case i have read human written books which confuses and puzzles me..so i want to straight the basics first..
So my question is: can you help me in this quest by giving a book name, some short description about it..(any english or urdu language book will do for me)..
thanks khan_sahib for the recommendations..i have read some bits and pieces from Tafseer abn Kathir (in english)..i just found it on an online store (the english version)..its about 6 volumes..(expensive)..i'll keep that in list and will get it from pakistan sometime..
I have read Abdullah Yusuf Ali's version of commentaries, Pickethall and Sayyid Abul Ala's Mawdudi's work..other than hard wordings..its very explanatory..
I read Qurani Ahkam in urdu..which was a simple and concise version..
