Written by the renowned jurist of the fourteenth century, Taqi al-Din Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya, The Goodly Word is one of the most referred to works on prayer and the merits of prayer. Exclusively based on what the Prophet Muhammad himself said and did, this work includes prayers for every moment of the Muslims life. The Goodly Word is here presented in a bi-lingual edition so that the exact prayers of the Prophet can be read in the original Arabic.

Al-Ubudiyyah: Being a True Slave of Allah

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

In this book, Ibn Taymiyyah, discusses the Islamic answers to basic human questions in depth. He explains the purpose of our existence which is to be true slaves of Allah.

Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah defines the concept of worship in Islam and explains that to be a true "slave of Allah" is a status of both virtue and nobility. The title "slave of Allaah" is one of great honor which Allah bestowed upon the best of creation, Muhammad (SAW). Ibn Taymiyyah  highlights the prevalent traps which people fall into, when becoming enslaved by, or allowing their hearts to become attached to worldly objects. The emphasis is on servitude to Allah which is adorned with the true love we hold for Him in our hearts -- a matter of central importance for every Muslim.
Highly Recommended for the young blooded  who  Want to Run before they can Walk and even  the Old timers  'Who sometimes are  so comfortable Walking that  they have forgotten that there is sometimes a need to run' in the Path Towards Allah.
