Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What are the beneficial books that you recommend acquiring and reading? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
There are many books, and many are beneficial and useful. The greatest of them is the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), followed by the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the authentic hadiths, then the books of creed, the creed of the Salaf, the books of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), the creed of the righteous Salaf, and what the imams and the renewers among the scholars are upon.
Then the books of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) that contain knowledge of the rulings of the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law) based on evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. Then the study of books of language and grammar in which the Qur'an was revealed, so that the tongue is correct and safe from error and mispronunciation.
All of these are among the beneficial books, and they are numerous, praise be to Allah, and easily accessible. But the issue is not with the books; the issue is with the teachers. The issue is with the competent teachers from whom you benefit, on whom you read these books, and who explain them to you with a correct explanation. This is the issue. The issue is with the teacher first, then the book. Yes.
