Free books at Scribd.com






Assalamu'alaykum wrtb to all my respected brothers and sisters and Islam. I've been wanted to share with you a website which i have found a few years ago which is www.scribd.com. Basically this website is like a big universal library which stores electronic copy of books. Ranging from .doc, xls, ppt, pdf you name it all kinds of document data. Some even have scanned books which is converted to pdf files. And what i like about it is that it enables us to upload any of our document and quickly share it with others. It stores somewhere in the cloud and as far as i know they don't have any storage limitation .And you know what's great about this website? IT'S FREE TO DOWNLOAD! MASHA ALLAH!


It's funny how hard sometimes to get a particular book that you wanted to so bad  but can't find it in your local book stores. I had one book which is called The Ideal Muslim which i've been looking for a long time (recommended by a friend) and during Umrah early this year finally got it from Medinah. Few months after that, remembering back that i had an account with scribd, who would have thought that this book that i just bought was/is available on this website (was just trying out typing "The Ideal Muslim"). And it's FREE to download! to any format you of your preference!!!







Here's the link if you don't believe me:

You can also find a book called The Ideal Muslimah (which is for the female) under the same Author (Muhammad Ali- Al-Hashimi)

From my opinion The Ideal Muslim is one of the must-read book for any Muslim.


So please bookmark this website to your Safari or IE browser. You can play around with it if you want simply by typing in the book that you want to look for or simply a subject (e.g. Solat Sunat Tahajjud or What is sunnah). Oh btw it also contains malay books as well. Lots of them.


Happy browsing

Daily Hadith - Supplicating for Deceased

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "When An-Najashi died, the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Pray for forgiveness for him.'" [Jami At-Tirmidhi - sahih hadith]

We learn here that on being informed about someone's death with the utterance of "we belong to Allah/ inna lillah", one should also supplicate for his/her forgiveness, so that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) may forgive us as well.
