Our Precious Sprouts by Muhammad bin Mustafa al-Jibaly

By Muhammad bin Mustafa al-Jibaly, Al-Kitaab & As-Sunnah Publishing, Hardback, 245 pages

This book covers the Islamic regulations relating to a newborn. This includes welcoming the baby, naming it, shaving its hair, circumcising it, and slaughtering the sacrificial 'aqiqah.

This is one of a 4-book series covering various aspects of marriage according to the authentic Sunnah. Marriage plays a most central role in human life and has been largely discussed by the scholars of Islam through the ages, resulting in numerous writings and treatises. Some of those writings, mostly by contemporary scholars, have been translated into English.

However, we find them restricted in scope, addressing Muslims who live in predominantly Islamic countries or overlooking important real issues that have developed under modern civilization. This leaves quite a large gap that needs to be filled for the benefit of the Muslims in English-speaking countries, and this is what we attempt to fulfil over the span of four books.
