Taleemul Haq (Teachings of Islam)

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah Subhanu Ta'aala this 2008 edition Taleemul Haq,
originally compiled by Shabbir Ahmed E. Desai has been totally revised by the staff of
The Islamic Bulletin.
The book is now concise, informative, and perhaps most important of all, enlightening.
The text is more fluid and readily understood, such as the use of numbers, titles and
subtitles, and minor textual rearrangements, including helpful weblinks. Finally we have
provided the reader with transliteration of the Duuas (supplications) and Quranic verses
in Arabic, thereby accommodating those unable to read Arabic text. We can only hope
that what we have done will prove to be useful to the reader in his or her study of this
book.
You can also download a free PDF version book from the The Islamic Bulletin website at
www.islamicbulletin.com under free e-books
May Allah, accept this effort and lead us by means of it to the Way of His Pleasure.
Ameen.
