“What books should every Muslim have in their home?”Īs Ramadan approaches we know that to seek beneficial knowledge is important and to spend our time well is crucial so a book refresh can contribute to us reaching for that which is beneficial Insha Allah. I took my question to social media and asked: There are also books on the seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and a range of reference books that are good to have in the home so we can use them to research and verify Islamic information we may come across about prophets, fiqh, history and so forth.

There are a plethora of books about Islam alhamdulillah from books featuring models of Muslim living, history re-called, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, women in Islam, the companions and books that every Muslim soul just needs during times of ease and hardship. I’m steadily building a small collection of books written by Muslim Women where I often find myself in their words or am enlightened about the myriad of experiences we all have in this world.

Looking through my collection prompted me to think about which other Islamic books I need in my home. So, I spent yet another weekend re-arranging my books for the umpteenth time, during the London lockdown*.
