  Q 4: What are the useful books that Muslims should read to learn about their religion?

A: You should read the Noble Qur'an; the books of Sunnah such as: Sahih Al-Bukhary, Sahih Muslim and the four Sunan (Hadith compilations classified by jurisprudential themes){Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Sunan An-Nasaee, Sunan Ibn Majah}; and books of 'Aqidah (creed) such as "Kitab Al-Tawhid" (Book of Monotheism), "Fath Al-Majid" and "Zad Al-Mi'ad" by Ibn Al-Qayyim, in addition to "Al-'Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah", "Sharh Al-Tahawiyyah" and such books written by the Sunni scholars.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
