Minhaj Al Muslim — meaning "The Way of the Muslim" — is one of the most comprehensive and widely respected Islamic reference books available in the English language. Authored by the distinguished Algerian scholar Sheikh Abu Bakr Jabir Al-Jaza'iry and published by Darussalam, this authoritative two-volume hardcover set serves as a complete manual for Muslim life — covering everything from core Islamic beliefs and acts of worship to personal ethics, family relations, and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh).
Unlike books that focus on a single aspect of the Deen, Minhaj Al Muslim is uniquely holistic. It is structured as a practical Islamic encyclopedia for daily life, making it an essential reference for new Muslims seeking foundational knowledge, practicing Muslims deepening their understanding, and Islamic educators looking for a reliable curriculum resource. Its clear English translation and logical organization make it one of the most accessible Islamic books for English-speaking Muslims worldwide.
Volume One lays the theological groundwork, opening with a thorough treatment of Islamic monotheism (Tawheed), the attributes of Allah, and the Five Pillars of Islam — Shahada, Salat, Zakat, Sawm, and Hajj — followed by an in-depth guide to Muslim morals, manners, and character. Volume Two expands into the practical dimensions of Islamic life: marriage and family, Islamic dietary laws (Halal and Haram), Islamic economics and the prohibition of usury (Riba), and the principles of Islamic judiciary and justice.
Whether you are building your Islamic library, searching for a reliable fiqh reference in English, or looking for a meaningful Eid or Ramadan gift for a fellow Muslim, Minhaj Al Muslim is an indispensable, lifetime companion to living according to the Sunnah.
