Book Description
A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

Book Description
Here is the story of my journey to Islam. It involves letters among three Muslim inmates indicted on charges of terrorism and I. The unexpected result was that I ended up reverting and becoming a Muslim. Also, I found three brothers who were not the extremists the media portrayed them as-they were three brothers who gave all to Allah. They were convicted and sentenced for crimes that we never talked about. The only words that came across in the letters were about Islam.

Book Description
This small book contains a collection of letters demonstrating a side of the personality of Shaykul-Islaam ibn Taymeeyah which is not commonly recognized. Usually, it is his tough and uncompromising stances and his truthful, sometimes harsh retorts that are remembered. However, as this work demonstrates he was also a concerned son, a devoted teacher and a passionate defender of the religion. These letters were selected and introduced by Shaykul Muhammad Sulaiman al-Abdah. Born in Syria in 1941, and now residing in London, he has taught in the religious institutes and the Islaamic University of Madeenah. He now devotes his time to work in Islamic Da'wah.

Nice to meet you and thank you for reading about my journey to Islam. I hope you find it as interesting as path as I did. But, remember that this whole conversion also has a good lesson behind it: We need to learn to never judge people based on the worst decision they made. We need to look at people as much more than just one terrible decision or action. Keep this thought in your mind as you read about my path of Islam.

Book Description
A Letter to My Father is an extraordinary autobiography of a young black man growing up in a loving and supportive close-knit family, who finds himself struggling through what he sees as the minefields established by the racial and oppressive nature of White America. As the title denotes, "A Letter To My Father" is a revealing conversation of a son to his father. However, the father is deceased and the letter conveys to him what happened to their family after his death. The author shares his personal memories, as well as those conveyed to him by his mother, brother, and extended family. He writes his father about a loving and caring mother and her struggle to raise their two sons alone; and about a big brother who protects him and tries to become the father they both were without. The book in its unique format, tells of a young man's experiences while growing up in the streets of Philadelphia, PA, surrounded by racial images and trying to find his place in a struggle for political and economic equality against the odds of being black, poor and uneducated in the 1960's. When his search leads him to the black nationalist ideology of the Nation of Islam, he becomes involved in both community activism and crime. Soon this results in his being arrested, charged, and convicted for one of the most heinous crimes ever committed. The case became known as the Washington, D.C. Hanafi Muslim Murders, and although he would eventually be acquitted, he still found himself trapped in, and swallowed up by a repressive, and counterproductive prison system. As the result of governmental manipulations, he is convicted in the jail-house murder of a government informant, and left to deal with the harsh and brutal realities of prison life. While desperately trying to maintain a positive relationship with his wife and children, he educates himself, helps to establish literacy programs for other prisoners, becomes a teacher, and involves himself in the fight for prison reform. In writing "A Letter To My Father," the author acknowledges personal responsibility for how his life turns out. He also reveals society's role in arresting the economic, social, and political development of black people in America. Through the eyes of a young black fatherless male, he expresses the frustrations he felt as a member of an outcast minority, who after realizing history's lie, sets out to deal with it in a world full of confused and misguided concepts. The book ends with the deaths of his beloved mother and brother. After being incarcerated for over 26 years, and always having their love and support, he has to deal with and accept the loss of both of them in a six-week span. While he reaffirms his fight for freedom, he realizes that not only has his mother and brother taught him how to stand firm and face the harsh realities of life, but also how to stand firm and face the inevitable reality of death.
