Handbook on Islam

Handbook on Islam is a manual on how to establish Islam, with understanding, by the famous West African Shaykh who led the jihad (struggle in the way of Allah) which established the Muslim Khalifate in Northern Nigeria in the 18th century. This is the three-dimensional way of Islam, Iman, and Ihsan that emerged from Madinah and was the light for the whole of the West, from the Bilad as-Sudan, including Nigeria, right up to Andalus, modern-day Spain, an Islam that holds law, spirituality, and a clear intellectual tradition in balance. This book is a manual, a handbook on the practice of Islam, on the parameters of what needs to be known about Allah and His Messengers, and on the Sufic path of purification of the heart and self from qualities that obscure their luminous reality and veil them from Allah. It includes biography of Shaykh Uthman Dan Fodio, discussions on the fundamentals of the religion such as fiqh, tawhid, and tasawwuf, and excerpts like the Song of Shaykh Malam an-Nasr al-Kibari.
