history of islam

read reza aslan's no god but god. i would like to read life stories of prophets and books on islamic jurisprudence.

Well, about history I did bring this 3-Vol set called History of Islam from Lahore last year but haven't read it Yet. It is written by Akbar Shah Najeebabadi and is revised by Safi-ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri.

As for your second one, I have read this books called Stories of the Prophet. It is written by Ibn Kathir and translated into english by Rashad Ahmad Azami. This book was real good. I got it from my friend and finished it in like a day. Then I bought my own when I went to Pak last year.

As for islamic jurisprudence, I need to buy books in this category so can't help you there. :)

Re: any good books to read - please recommend

I'd say, read nasim Hijazi's novels about Islamic History. I havea compete set in my closet. Simply beautiful books, a must read for anyone who knows Urdu. He writs history and explains the situation on the level of common people which makes it very easy to understand the actual contexts of the situation at that time. I have learned many aspects of Muslim History from his novels.

The most influential and immaculate novel which literally made me cry was "Qaafla-e-Hijaaz"...... No match at all

Aakhri Chattaan, Yousuf Bin Tashfeen, Shaheen, Kaleesa aur aag, you name it, every novel is a gem of its own......
