[Henry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Admittedly this comes from a rather controversial author, and I was familiar with most of the concepts and ideas presented, but I still found the book highly instructive and engaging anyway.

[International Islamic Publishing House (IIPH) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Experienced educator and scholar Dr. Bilal Philips has written this excellent four-year high school Islamic Studies curriculum that may be used for students at the level of Grades 7-12. Each of the four books in this set covers basic Islamic knowledge including details of the concept of tawheed (Islamic monotheism), Qur’anic studies that include the science of tafseer (explanation and commentary), and lessons on Hadith and the sources and teachings of Islamic law (fiqh). Study questions at the end of every unit help the students to make use of their new knowledge and assess progress.

A Spanish translation of this series is also available.

They can be purchased directly from the publisher, International Islamic Publishing House, at www.iiph.com.sa as well as wherever IIPH books are sold.

Fab book series for children and reverts alike. Nothing like this existed back in the day so this was a great step forward for English books regarding Islam.
