The first edition of the Basic & Advanced English Grammar booklet is designed with the aim to enlighten language learners about the basic and advanced grammar of the English language. The simple and straightforward structure of the booklet and the sequential presentation of its content starting with the basics help them frame a vivid understanding of English grammar which will simultaneously constitute a primary key when they come to learn advanced and complicated grammatical structures and rules in their continuous learning phases. I would be greatly delighted to see the value of the booklet reflected on the performance level of the learners upon whose hands it may befall, and who may deem it a useful source of knowledge for understanding English grammar.

بقي الشيخ علي بن سالم بن ناصر الحباسي الحجري رمزا في عين الأجيال اللاحقة لذلك الجيل الأخير من المثقفين والعلماء التقليديين الذين نهلوا من يد مشايخهم ومن مظان الكتب مباشرة، وكان من قوة شغفه بالمعرفة واخلاصه الصادق لها أن جعل الكتب جزءا لا يتجزأ من حياته.

Since her conversion to Islam in 2002 Mathilde Loujayne has crossed paths with women from all walks of life on a common spiritual journey to discover Islam from a feminine perspective. Fuelled by a desire to find the right words to explain to her mother her choice to embrace Islam, this guide was born. Through Mathilde Loujayne's personal experiences - grief, high school, moving abroad, work, marriage, and motherhood - she addressses women's common concerns as they take the big, little steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam.

وما هي إلا دقائق حتى اخترق آذان الجميع ألذ صوت تمنوه، فهللوا وكبروا وحمدوا، فقد بدأ القارب في الإنسياب على صفحة بساط داكن من مياه البحر الهادئة، وقد تبسم الجميع ثم ضحكوا بملء ثغورهم، فقد رأوا الصغيرة "مريم" وهي تلّوح بيدها نحو الشاطئ مودّعة لا أحد، فما كان منهم إلا المشاركة في التلويح، وفجأة جاشت مشاعرهم وبدوا في غاية التأثر وهم يودّعون زنجبار الوداع الأخير.

Twenty-two-year-old Summer is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny, she’s stubborn, she’s clever, and she’s very opinionated on life as a Millennial Muslim woman. The only problem is that she is dead. When her younger sister, Sara, finds Summer’s lifeless body on their bathroom floor, Summer can only watch as a devastated Sara calls the rest of her family to announce her death. With no way back to her body and no idea how she died, Summer remains a helpless observer as members of her devoted, dysfunctional family come back home to bury her – and her secrets. As Summer pieces together the events of the night before, she starts unravelling her whole life: the fabric of her British-Omani-Zanzibari family, the culture clashes, the depression that dogged her for years, and the childhood trauma that changed her forever… Riveting and heart-breaking, Summer’s haunting story is one you will never forget.
