JohnsonAl Clark by Jonathan G. Meyer grabs the readers attention from the first page. One of my favorite genres is science fiction, above all, space opera. I found Al Clark to be space opera and more. I call it space adventure. The author has created a strong, believable set of characters, particularly the First Six. The story plot is strong and steady with several well designed twists, leaving a true space opera and space adventure fan expectantly waiting to turn the next page. I strongly recommend this book for those that enjoy good sci-fi.

Children are taught academic subjects through simple, lucid and attractive books. However, for teaching Islamic Studies, we are still struggling to give them the best. Firstly, the content matter has to be simplified based on their age and then presented in a way that children love to read. Al-Mu'minah's Islamic Studies Series is an attempt to address this challenge. The series contains Islamic knowledge based on the Qur'an and authentic Ahadeeth. The books have been graded so that the text is class appropriate. The textbook of each grade has been divided into units for better understanding of the subject matter. The language of the lessons and the explanation of the topics are made from the children's perspective. The series aims to acquaint students with the teachings of Islam including belief, practices, moral conduct, biography of the Prophet & and stories of the Prophets. Some topics are presented, using a spiral approach, where students revisit the same topic and study it in greater depths in subsequent years. Please note that the essentials of Islam that need to be memorised by every Muslim have been compiled in another graded series titled Misbahul-Ilm.' Alhamdulillah, the Misbahul-Ilm Series contains a compilation of essentials of Islam which should be memorised by every Muslim - soorahs of the 30th Juz, Daily Duas, some Ahadeeth, Asma-ul-Husna, various Adhkars, Qur'anic supplications, all with the English translation. The explanation of the memorised soorahs is given in subsequent grades in the Islamic Studies Series so that in one grade the student focuses on the memorisation of the soorah from the Misbahul-Ilm Series and in the subsequent grade the focus is on the explanation of the soorah using the Islamic Studies Series. Thus the two series complement each other to provide comprehensive Islamic education Alhamdulillah.

The Quran kor AHN Arabic al-Quran, literally meaning "the recitation" also romanized Quran or Koran is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be a revelation from God. It is widely regarded as the finest work in classical Arabic literature. The Quran is divided into chapters, which are then divided into verses. Muslims believe that the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel Jibril, gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death. Muslims regard the Quran as the most important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of his prophethood, and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam and ended with Muhammad. The word "Quran" occurs some 70 times in the text of the Quran, although different names and words are also said to be references to the Quran. According to the traditional narrative, several companions of Muhammad served as scribes and were responsible for writing down the revelations. Shortly after Muhammad's death, the Quran was compiled by his companions who wrote down and memorized parts of it. These codices had differences that motivated the Caliph Uthman to establish a standard version now known as Uthman's codex, which is generally considered the archetype of the Quran known today. There are, however, variant readings, with mostly minor differences in meaning. The Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in the Biblical scriptures. It summarizes some, dwells at length on others and, in some cases, presents alternative accounts and interpretations of events. The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance for mankind 2:185. It sometimes offers detailed accounts of specific historical events, and it often emphasizes the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence. Hadith are additional oral and written traditions supplementing the Quran; from careful authentication they are believed to describe words and actions of Muhammad, and in some traditions also those closest to him. In most denominations of Islam, the Quran is used together with hadith to interpret sharia (Islamic) law; in a small number of denominations, only the Quran is used as a source. During prayers, the Quran is recited only in Arabic. Someone who has memorized the entire Quran is called a hafiz. Quranic verse (ayah) is sometimes recited with a special kind of elocution reserved for this purpose, called tajwid. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims typically complete the recitation of the whole Quran during tarawih prayers. In order to extrapolate the meaning of a particular Quranic verse, most Muslims rely on exegesis, or tafsir.
