Recommend a book to be given as a gift to Mother.

Its my mother’s b’day and i want to give some book as a present… I need a book which is a little serious, knowledgeable, inline with the islam and on a positive tone… I myself was looking for

Muqadma-ibn-e-khaldoon or
Zavia 1 + 2 + 3 by Ishfaq Ahmad

but didn;t find it at ferozeSons… Anyway if u some other book to suggest, i will greatly appreciate it.. do give a brief overview of the suggested book too

Thanks in advance

Cheetay: How about a Summarized version of Hadith book (bukhari etc.) or a summarized version of Some good tafsir. Those are always helpful because you can take them anywhere you want as compare to the complete set which are like 8-10 vol.

We have quite a few Hadith Books.. if u can specify some name that will be appreciated...
We have Modudi's Tafseer if u can recommend some other than do lemme know.

Abt Mushi autobiuography, i m not sure he can be ideal for any person.. so why waste time reading on him ...
