In a time where literature about Islam is relatively easy to locate, one
finds the range is typically limited to material that promotes an
orientalist version of Islam, or does not reflect the true diversity of
the Muslim Ummah. As part of TMA's commitment to providing the Muslim
Ummah with access to a wide collection of education resources that
illuminate the truth and beauty of Islam, TMA has made the following
books and booklets available to the general public.

God -- An Islamic
Perspective
by Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi
Suggested Donation: $2
This simple and easy-to-read
book provides an explanation, including detailed proofs, for the
existence of God, including an exposition into His various fundamental
and ancillary characteristics. This is an excellent introductory text
for non-Muslims and those who believe God cannot exist, or that if He
does, that He has become irrelevant.
Nahjul Balagha (the Peak of
Eloquence)
by Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as)
Suggested Donation: $9
Compiled by Sharif ar-Radi
during the 4th Islamic Century, this book is a collection of the
sermons, sayings, letters, and aphorisms of the fourth caliph of Islam,
and the first Imam of the Muslims, Hazrat 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (as). The
book provides a deep insight into the Imam's personality, character, and
love for Allah. Perhaps the best feature of the book is its
applicability to the modern age, where prince and pauper alike can
benefit from the wisdom of the greatest sage to walk the earth.
Inquiries About Islam
by Muhammad Jawad Chirri
Chronicled as an interview
between Chirri and a western journalist, Chirri clarifies the Islamic
belief system to those who may be unfamiliar with it, including in-depth
arguments for the existence of God, the purpose of creation, where Islam
and Christianity differ concerning Jesus Christ, the Islamic concept of
Human Rights, and the need for and the finality of the Prophethood of
Muhammad (saw). The author concludes with a call for Muslim unity.
The Bible, the Qur'an, and
Science
by Maurice Bucaille
Suggested Donation: $5
This book, written decades ago,
instantly became a classic. Maurice Bucaille, a biology professor at Le
Sorbonne, analytically compared the Qur'an and the Bible on various
scientific issues, and published the results of his study in the form of
this book. This title is a must read for anyone who thinks science and
religion are incompatible, or that the Qur'an is not a true miracle of
Allah (swt).
Towards Understanding Islam
by Abu'l 'Ala Mawdudi

of the world's greatest and most perfect human being (saw).
The Qur'an in Islam

by perhaps the greatest Muslim scholar of the 20th century, is a basic
summary of the role of the Qur'an in Islam and its impact upon the life
of billions of Muslims throughout history. Allamah Tabataba'i (ra)'s
approach is that of the Ahlul Bayt (ams) -- to use the Qur'an to
elucidate itself. He also discusses some important aspects of the
Qur'an, including its stylistic nuances, its historical and scientific
accuracy, and its relation vis-a-vis other religious texts. Included is
also a survey of fundamental tafseer (commentative) techniques used to
derive at the deeper meanings of the text.
