Dear Readers, kindly note that some of the links on this blog are affiliate links, which will not cost any extra money to you if you will buy using my links. These are universally renowned books, so here I am not going to create any hype or any statements to make you buy these products. My intention here is to help you enlighten your knowledge of Islam with the best that is available and relevant.
The books and other stuffs I recommend are my personal favourites. Besides myself owning and having read some of those, I also suggest buying those blockbuster books which I myself cannot afford to buy, but would love to own them as masterpieces worth learning and teaching from. These books are a treasure-trove in their respective categories, which were authored by classic and widely accepted legends like Sh. Ibn Katheer, Syed Abul A'la Maududi, Dr. Yusuf Ali etc. I hope to soon be able to buy them all for myself and find it among the precious collection of books in my home library....InshaAllah!

Copyright Issue By Sheikh Sulayman Ibn Nasir Al-‘Ulwan
Shaykh Sulaymaan was asked about this issue once, and his reply included the following:
1- This is a contemporary issue in which the Scholars have differed.
2- Some have unrestrictedly rejected the idea, some have unrestrictedly accepted the idea, and some have explained it according to details.
3- His conclusion was that things that aren’t your work cannot be copyrighted, such as works from the Scholars of the passed, like if someone takes it and claims rights to the work itself because the person happened to publish it.
4- If the person does the work himself, he has the right to copyright it in terms of buying and selling, in that it is not allowed for anyone to copy it and make money off of it except with his permission.
5- If someone wants to copy it in order to learn or teach, spread Da’wah, etc. he has the right to do so even if it is copyrighted, but cannot make money off of it. Also, if he can pay, he should, as it took time and money for the thing to be written and published to begin with.
Wa Allaahu A’lam! Allah knows best!
