Taleemul Haq (Teachings of Islam)

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah Subhanu Ta'aala this 2008 edition Taleemul Haq, originally compiled by Shabbir Ahmed E. Desai has been totally revised by the staff of The Islamic Bulletin.

The book is now concise, informative, and perhaps most important of all, enlightening. The text is more fluid and readily understood, such as the use of numbers, titles and subtitles, and minor textual rearrangements, including helpful weblinks. Finally we have provided the reader with transliteration of the Duuas (supplications) and Quranic verses in Arabic, thereby accommodating those unable to read Arabic text. We can only hope that what we have done will prove to be useful to the reader in his or her study of this book.

You can also download a free PDF version book from the The Islamic Bulletin website at www.islamicbulletin.com under free e-books

May Allah, accept this effort and lead us by means of it to the Way of His Pleasure. Ameen.
