Gifts for the Seeker answers many of the questions often asked by seekers of inward illumination. Read more

Based on the Qu’ran and Hadith, in the fascinating book The Lives of Man, Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through several “lives:” before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the Resurrection, and finally, the Garden or the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life. Read more

“Counsels of Religion is a compelling testimony to the spiritual power and influence of the sanctified soul on the world. It is perhaps more importantly for us a step toward re-introducing the desperately needed path of sanctification.” – Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Read more

The Sublime Treasures contains Imam Al-Haddad’s answers to letters he received posing questions on easily confusing and subtle Sufi matters, presented in Imam al-Haddad’s inimitable style of succinct clarity. Read more

Sufi Sage of Arabia, a unique biography of the saint Imam Abdallah al-Haddad, takes readers into the fascinating world and spiritual life of 17th-and early 18th-century Yemen. The life of this great spiritual master is examined, from his early attraction to Sufi poetry and visit to the tomb of the prophet Hud – to his rise as a Sufi master and his Hajj journey to Mecca. Read more

The Complete Summons and General Reminder is unique in that Imam al-Haddad is the first scholar to have divided mankind into eight main categories according to the kind of summons to God or da’wa they need, and then detailed the rights and duties of each category, which scholars ought to enjoin upon them for the good pleasure of their Lord.

Reviews

Imam 'Abdallah al-Haddad was the renewer, or Mujaddid, of the twelfth Islamic century. He was renowned, and deservedly so, for the breadth of his knowledge and his manifest sanctity. The profundity of his influence on Muslims is reflected by the fact his books are still in print throughout the Islamic world. ... Imam al-Haddad's writings, if we except a few short treatises, and his volume of poetry, are mostly concerned with establishing within his readers the firmest possible foundations for faith and certainty. He recognised the signs of his times and of the times to come, and observed how people were drawing away from religion, exhibiting a reluctance to study and a diminishing inclination to seek spiritual growth.
Dr. Mostafa al-Badawi

"At a time when the Muslim world is suffering from false teachings being spread by extremists, the message of al-Haddad offers a precious means of return to the high ethical and spiritual standards of classical Islam. The publication of Counsels of Religion should prove a milestone on the way of furthering that blessed effort."
