I was recently bit by the Kitabi tag bug so here is my bookshelf:
The university text books, also known as unwanted but necessary tenants, occupy this floor. In their ranks are several calculus books dispersed with chemical engineering design editions and a few Business English Communication books.
Two rows are filled with Islamic books. More famous ones are Sahih al-Bukhair, commentary on the Imam Nawawi’s Forty Hadith compilation by Sh. Zarabozo, Sealed Nectar by Imam Mubarakpuri, Jurisprudence of the Seerah by Sh. Buti, Stories of the Prophets by Imam Kathir, some Sheikh Qaradawi books, In the Shade of the Quran by Syed Qutb, Road to Makkah by Muhammad Asad, etc.
Upcoming additions insha Allah: Sahih Muslim, Gardens of the Righteous by Imam Nawawi, and Tafsir ibn Kathir (though I have this on my laptop).
And finally my collection of National Geographic magazines and some history books. There would have been a massive collection of English novels too if not for the public library.




wow… four volumes of forty hadiths?! Subhan Allah.. you don’t want to see my collection on forty hadiths – it consists of one book!
Criminal law? what plans, faraz?
[chemical engineering and law make an excelllent combination
]
Oh, my purification book is still back ordered with amazon! (make dua I get it before Ramadan)
Islamic finance by Mufti Taqi looks interesting… you read it?
and Jazak Allah for sharing…. the first to do so among my tajj-ed bloggers
I love calculus
I brought a bunch of these books from Pakistan recently so haven’t had time yet to read them. I brought the Islamic Finance book for a friend but plan to read it before or after giving it to him.
As for the criminal law books….engineer by day, lawyer by night and 24 hour dawah worker!!
Humairah, I think it’s obligatory upon every engineer to love calculus like its their first born
Yeps, the Islamic Finance book is great- The concepts are explained quite well, you don’t require much background. [Available online as well]
I was an engineering student who loved calculus and didn’t love physics… and graduated with so much confusion and nightmares of Fourier transforms and root locus *shudder*!
