Editorial Reviews

A very good blend of classical scholarship with modern information that is sure to educate.

Dr. Omer Hasem El-Hamdoon

President, Muslim Association of Britain

I hope this book becomes a means of reviving the Sunna and rejecting innovation, and that it inspires many to prepare for the ultimate meeting with their Lord.

Shaykh Zahir Mahmood

Principal, As-Suffa Institute

Indeed, an important reference point for all on this subject that concerns us all.

I ordered only a few days ago and it arrived promptly a few hours ago. I'm only a quater of the way through and Mashallah a much needed read for everyone. This is such an important topic, if only there was a way to endorse this book into local madrasahs and even muslim funeral directors!
