3 books every Muslim must read daily at home

Allah the Most High is more merciful to man than man himself. It is from this infinite mercy that Allah didn’t leave the slaves to themselves, rather He the Most High sent his chosen slaves I.e. messengers and sent down books in which there is light and guidance. Through the books and messengers, man comes to know his purpose of existence and existence of universe and recognises his true God, one who is worthy of worship; Allaah.

Allah the Most High has given his believing slaves a special command, as it is mentioned in Surah Tahrim 66:6

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُونَ اللَّـهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ 

O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.

In the tafsir of this verse, Hafiz Ibn Kathir mentions statement of Ali ibn Abi Talib(may Allah be pleased with him) in his famous tafsir Ibn Kathir.

“علمو انفسكم وأهلكم الخير”

Teach your self and your children The Good.

A Muslim who cares for himself and his family, must strive his best to learn the khair.

As paradise and hell are recompense from Allah, a person who does good for him is good and one who does evil then his recompense is as such.

Khair lies in learning the deen , implementing it and teaching it to others.

Apart from attending gatherings of Ahle ilm or listening to lectures online(true Ahle ilm who do not speak from ones desire nor twist Quran and Sunnah to justify oneself) one should make a habit of having a gathering of ilm at his home with his wife and kids.    

As we are living in a time about which Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said :

A time will come upon people, the example of one who is patient upon his deen is that of a person holding burning coal in his/her hand.

And in another Hadith,

A person would sell his deen for dunya.

It becomes more important for a person learn his deen and make his family learn the deen, so they remain firm upon Islam, especially in times of trial.

1. Short tafsir of Quran

Every day make a routine either after fajr or whenever comfortable read 1 page of tafseer (just plain reading in case something is not clear you can always ask your local scholar)

Better to start with the last juz of Quran, whose surahs are mostly memorised and often recited.

Eg Ahsanul Bayan in Urdu/ Hindi

Noble Quran by Dar us salaam in English

2. Riyadh us Saliheen

This is a beautiful book well recognised amongst the scholars all over the world, covers a variety of topic especially related to softening of heart

Dar us salaam has published a very good copy with a brief commentary.

3. Sealed Nectar.

Many muslims claim to love the prophet and would even die for defending his honour, but very few know about his life and conduct.

This book is one of the best books regarding Prophets biography concise and to the mark.
