Abū Naṣr al-Mīkālī said: "We were discussing scenic resorts one day while Ibn Durayd was present. Some of them said: 'The most scenic of places is the Ghūṭah of Dimashq.' Others said: 'Rather, it is the River of al-Ubullah.' Others said: 'Rather, it is the Sughd of Samarqand.' Some of them said: 'The Nahrawān of Baghdād.' Some of them said: 'The ravine of …

لا يخلو كتاب من فائدة !
No book is devoid of benefit
The principle that "no book is devoid of benefit" was cited by Ibnul-Jawzī in Ṣaydul-Khāṭir (p. 411). While advising the student of knowledge, he wrote:
«"Let him strive to sit with the scholars... and acquire books, for no book is devoid of benefit."»
This principle is likewise reflected in the literary philosophy of 'Abbas al-'Aqqad.…

Recommendation & Advice 📚
If possible, make it a habit to read (Riyāḍuṣ-Ṣāliḥīn - The Garden of ther righteous) at the end of each day before going to bed. If that is difficult, then aim to read it every Sunday night.
By the permission of Allah, this book helps cultivate good character, strengthens one's worship, increases beneficial knowledge, and serves as a means of nurturing many aspects of a Muslim's life.

22 Jul 2026, 08:57 UTC223 viewsread 6 August 2026 Historically, libraries were known by several names, including:
The Library (Al-Maktabah) - المكتبة
The Treasury of Books (Khizānat al-Kutub) - خزانة الكتب
The House of Knowledge (Dārul-'Ilm) - دار العلم
22 Jul 2026, 08:56 UTC214 views2 reactionsread 6 August 2026 The virtue of the library stems from the virtue of sacred knowledge itself. Through libraries, the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the works of the scholars are preserved. They safeguard the creed of Ahlus-Sunnah, preserve the Sunnah, repel innovations, and connect each generation to the inheritance of the Prophets.
