An ideal handbook/guidebook for every muslim/muslimah

Salaams everyone...

Since i started reading and learning more about islam...over 3 years ago..i've come across many books that have helped me in one way or another...however two books i came across stand out clearly...mainly because they focus on the practical aspects of implementing Islam and its teachings in our everyday lives.

They look at all aspects of our lives and how to use Islam as an influence in everything we do in order to be the "Ideal Muslim/Muslimah" not only to muslims but to the world at large. These books are also good reference and serve as good guidebooks in our everyday lives

Here are the links to download these books...and i pray inshallah that they help you as much as they helped me...

1) The Ideal Muslim (for guys)

The ideal Muslim is a man of the highest moral character. In his relation with his rabb' (lord), himself, family, parents, relatives, friends, and the community at large, he has a most excellent example in the Prophet of Islam (pbuh). His idealism is further strengthened by the characters of the first generations of Muslims who excelled in all the various fields of human endeavour. He is reassured by the teachings of Islam that he also can reach these noble heights by working to improve his character daily.
In this title, the author gives a clear overview of the practical aspects of the Islamic lifestyle, as exemplified by the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions (pbuh). Moving from the innermost aspect of the individual's spiritual life to his dealings with all those around him, one can see how the Muslim is expected to interact with all others in his life.

2) The Ideal Muslimah (for girls)

"The ideal Muslimah is proud of the great position that Islam has given her among humanity. She performs her duties knowing that her role is clearly defined and that her rights are still, even today, greater than any other ideology has provided. She is a woman of moral excellence, true to her nature, not confused by alien and morally bankrupt ideas. She preserves her self-respect and dignity through her piety in obedience to Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (PBUH). She is the role model that every true believer hopes to emulate. This comprehensive work by Dr. Al-Hashimi is a valuable contribution for our English readers who will find the knowledge contained therein truly beneficial and inspiring."
