'The Sunna is the first subsidiary source (masdar farʿi) after the Qur'an among the sources of Islamic law. We describe it as a subsidiary source because it is the Qur'an that actually indicated that it is a source, and the basis of everything is the Qur'an. The Qur'an commanded us to follow the messenger of Allah: therefore we follow the messenger of Allah.'

~Shaykh Muhammad Saʿid Ibn Mulla Ramadan al-Buti

The book also contains the translation of Imam Ibn Hajar al-ʿAsqalani's explanation of the Hadith on Islam, Iman and Ihsan also known as Gibril's hadith from the Fathul-Bari.

VOL 2: THE EXCELLENT INNOVATION IN THE QURAN AND HADITH

ISBN: 9781938058790 | 276 pages

Sayyidina ‘Umar (r) during his caliphate gathered the multifarious groups praying tarawih into a single congregation. Ubay ibn Ka‘b (r) said: ‘This was not done before!” Sayyidina ‘Umar (r) said “I am fully aware of this, but it is excellent!”
Nowhere in the field of Islamic jurisprudence is a blatant tampering with the truth felt more than in the redefinition of “Sunna” and “bid‘a”. 
The intent of this book is to do away with these perilous misconceptions and to present over 160 proofs for the Sunni understanding of Sunna and bid‘a as set forth in classical, moderate, mainstream Islam according to the Sunni Salaf and Khalaf, including the four Schools of Fiqh. Additionally, the book provides case studies on topics such as collective supplication, partitions for women in mosques, and proofs for visitation of graves by women.

VOL 3: THE BINDING PROOF OF THE SUNNA
