Mu'aawiyah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam) said: And whomsoever Allaah wants good for, then He grants him understanding in the religion. - Narrated by Bukhaari and Muslim



English Title: The Legislation of Islaam
Book Type: Treatise
Author: Al-Imaam 'Abdul 'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullaah Ibn Baaz

I have selected this topic due to its great importance, as is well known. For verily, study of the Islaamic Legislation (Sharee’ah) and what relates to its virtues, its benefits, its concern for the servants (of Allaah), and its necessity, is a great matter. The need for it (the Islaamic Legislation) is very serious. Seeking to understand this and giving much attention to it is from the most important of matters. Therefore, due to the importance of this topic and the great need for increasing the understanding and insight concerning it, I decided that it should be the topic of this lecture. So with this, it should be clear to my brothers who are listening that this lecture is divided into two parts:

  • The first of them is, “The Islaamic Legislaton and its Virtuous Qualities.”

  • The second of them is, “The Necessity of the Islaamic Legislation for Humanity.”
I will address both issues in my speech, if Allaah wills.

Ibnul Qayyim Publications shutting down operations
All praise is due to Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted in every time and in every place and during any circumstance. It is with a heavy heart that we announce that as of January 29th, 2008, Ibnul Qayyim Publications is shutting down its operations. We have been operating at a loss for one whole fiscal year and it is no longer financially possible to continue running the business. We thank Allaah for giving us the opportunity and we also thank our customers for supporting us during the three brief years that we were in business.

The rights of the books that we have already published which are clear of any royalty requirements have been donated to Masjid Ibn 'Uthaymeen. We hope that the masjid will have the ability to republish these beneficial works of the Scholars in the future.

May Allaah accept our small efforts and may He place them on our scale of good deeds on the Day of Judgement.

"The Correct Creed" no longer being published.
Our sixth publication, "Al-Mu'taqid Us-Saheeh" (The Correct Creed) has been cancelled due to the company shutting down operations. The rights of the book have been returned back to the translator so we make du'a that this beneficial work will be published by another publisher.
