The questioner : What are the religious books that you guide me to acquire and benefit from?
The Shaykh : Among the best books I have seen is the book: "Zad al-Ma'ad fi Hady Khayr al-'Ibad" by Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), for it is a book of jurisprudence, biography, and medicine. Also, among the beneficial books is the book: "Riyad al-Salihin" by al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him). And among the beneficial books is: "Tafsir al-Qur'an" by Ibn Kathir, meaning the complete tafsir, not the abridged one. There are many books on this subject; you can also seek guidance from the scholars among you to direct you to what we have not mentioned here.
