Refuting ISIS
This second edition of the book comes after the heinous attacks that ISIS perpetrated in Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey, France, the USA and Indonesia. These attacks, which must be condemned by Muslim scholars and preachers around the world, are another testimony that, by killing women, children, and civilians, ISIS betrayed Islam, betrayed the Holy Quran, and betrayed the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
After the overwhelming response to the first edition, the author felt the need for a second edition that quenches the thirst of the readers with more details. He penned this second edition to further elaborate on many important topics, such as the prohibition of burning human beings, the abolition of slavery, and Islam’s position towards minorities. New subjects are also tackled, such as the invalidity of excommunicating Muslim rulers for not applying certain aspects of Shari’ah, Islam’s position towards democracy, and the prohibition of destroying pre-Islamic monuments and sacred sites. Several other topics benefitted from more rigorous proofs, especially the section confirming that ISIS criminals have left the fold of Islam and are no longer Muslims.

"Islam disavows ISIS, the teachings of the Messenger of God (PBUH) disavow ISIS, and the scholars of mainstream Sunni Islam disavow ISIS.
May Allah protect Sh. Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi and reward him for writing such a succinct refutation of ISIS' un-Islamic practices while also being one of the first major scholars to speak out against the brutality of the Assad regime.
May we see a free Syria in our lifetime, which can only be achieved if we remember that "Islamic law is full of mercy, justice, and wisdom[...]" and "[...] replacing ISIS’ ideology by secularism breeds more extremism."
Another quote that touched my heart: "It is narrated that our Holy Prophet (PBUH) said to ˓Alī, “For God to guide a single man through you is better for you than having all over which the sun rises”

An easy to read book which covers an understanding of true Islamic jurisprudence regarding terrorist groups. It clears up multiple confusions regarding this issue. Highly recommended.
