Question: What are
the books you recommend for the youth who is just growing up in his Islamic
knowledge and which knowledge should he start with? Do you recommend the
reading of tafseer al-Jalaalayn?
Response: We do
not recommend the reading of tafseer Jalaalayn. If the youth is a beginner, we
recommend that he should read Fiqhus-Sunnah of Sayyid Saabiq, while seeking
assistance from some of its references, like Subulus-Salaam Sharh ahaadeeth
al-Ahkaam of Ibn Hajar. And if he looks into some of the parts we have
published of Tamaamul-Minnah fee Ta’leeq alaa Fiqh as-Sunnah then that will be
stronger for him. I also recommend Ar-Rawdatun-Nadiyyah by Siddiq Hasan
Khaan.
With regard to tafseer,
he should always read tafseer Ibn Katheer because it is the most
authentic book of tafseer today, though some issues are lengthy therein. Further,
with respect to books of admonitions and heart-softening narrations, he should
read Riyaadus-Saaliheen of Imaam An-Nawawee. Then in general, as it relates to ‘aqeedah,
he should read al-‘Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah and he should seek assistance from my
comment and explanation to it.
Furthermore, in
general, he should habitually study the books of Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah
and his student Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah because I believe that they are from
the rare scholars of the Muslims who followed the methodology of the righteous
predecessors in their understanding, with fear of Allaah and righteousness. And we do not purify anyone over Allaah.
