Stuff I bought
Someone might be interested to know what actually I bought for myself while I was in KSA.Well,few bottles of Itar of Khuss and Mushk and four books about Islamic History.
These days I am spending much money on books rather anything else.BTW,I dont have habbit to go out for shopping.Anyways,I am just not limited to books on particular field or topic. In past I bought urdu books of Qudratullah shahab and Mumtaz Mufti,but intentialy or un intentialy I am inclined towards Islamic literature. I am a very ignorant muslim and I don’t know much about my own religion's history beside that I read in Islamiat books during schools. Having knowledge about 5 times prayers,fasting,reciting quran doesn't make you a muslim anyway. How could you be a good mathematics student unless you are not aware of basic rules? Or if you are a programmer, how could you write complex routines while you don’t have any idea about constants and variables?
The other reason that these days non-muslims are interested more in Islam and Islamic teachings than we ignorant muslims who actually get and believe teachings of Islam
By them. It’s shameful but a fact. But I wouldn’t give this reason much marks than my own interest to know religion which is being followed by me and my ancestors since ages.
Khair again I lost the track. I bought four books from a bookshop which was opposite to Gate No 23/24 of Masjid Nabvi(SAW).Sorry I forgot the names. I bought the following books.
The book currently I am reading is Men Around Messenger ,till now I have read about Musab Bin Umair(RA) and Salman Farisi(RA). How many of us actually heard Musab bin Umair in life? We the poor souls who are victims of Pakistani Islamic syllabus of schools which starts from Namaz(Salat) and ends at the fourth caliph ,Ali(RA). Our muslim youth know much about love affair between Abhishek Bachan and Aishwarya but not about what Ijtihad means.Damn we ignorant Muslims, we deserve to be burnt in fire of insult here and in next world. I am cursing myself but we get what we are taught to. I know about this love affair because I read in my local news paper while I don’t read about Prophet’s companions.
Okay as usual I lost the track and went beyond the topic. My blog readers know it very well and they have learnt that this kuttay ki d um seedhi nahi hosakti

- Miracles of Messenger (SAW)-compiled by Darussalam Research Division.
- Gems and Jewels: Wise sayings, intresting events and moral lessons from Islamic History-Compiled by Abdul Malik Majid of Darussalam.
- Men around the Messenger (SAW):Its about 60 companions of the Prophet(SAW) who can be declared the first generation of Muslims-by Khalid Muhammad Khalid.
- Sunharay Auraq(Golden Papers):Its in Urdu and compiled by Abdul Malik Majid.I have finished this book and it really opened a new door of knowledge about people who practiced Islam literally in their lives and got rewarded.
