The Light of Sight (Tr. of Nur al-Uyun)
Translation of Nur al-Uyun – A Concise Biography of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wasallam)
Author’s Introduction:
Thus said the meticulous research scholar, the imÄm, shaykh Fat’ĥuddÄ«n Abu’l Fat’ĥ MuÄ¥ammad ibn MuÄ¥ammad ibn MuÄ¥ammad ibn Sayyidi’n NÄs
al-YámurÄ«y ar-Rabýiy – may AllÄh táÄlÄ sanctify his secret:
Praise be to AllÄh táÄlÄ who opens the doors [of Grace] when He is called upon; and He, who bestows means for guidance; Salutations and blessings
upon His Prophet MuÄ¥ammad , whom AllÄh táÄlÄ sent as a guide to those who accepted guidance; and a proof 3 upon those who turned away;
and [salutations be] upon his descendants and his companions who loved and cherished his tradition all their lives.
ÚyÅ«n al-Athar fÄ« FunÅ«n al-MaghÄzÄ« wa’sh ShamÄyil wa’s Siyar,  is a comprehensive biography that I have compiled, which is a copious and
sufficient resource for seekers of this knowledge. After completing it, I felt that it should be abridged to facilitate quick reference, easy to read and to
carry; that which imparts knowledge to the beginner and serves as a review for the master. Hence, I have summarised in these pages, and
named it, The Light of the Sight – A Concise Biography of the Trustworthy, the Vouchsafed.
Thus we begin, with a prayer for aid and guidance from AllÄh táÄlÄ and beseech Him to steer our essay and ease the path to goodness.

Book: The Culture of Islam
The Islamic Educational and Cultural Research Center (IECRC) participated in the Annual Sacramento World Festival in Old Sacramento (California) on October 2, 2011. The IECRC booth represented artifacts, books, clothing, music, Islamic poetry and many other Islamic cultural items from the various cultures in the Muslim world including that of Pakistan, Morroco, Saudi Arabia (Mecca and Medina), Egypt, Syria, India, Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey among other countries. Among the highlights at booth included free henna cultural designs on the hands of women, Arabic writing of the audience’s names, and an interactive poster of the text of the Holy Qur’an on one page viewed only by microscope.
A publication by IECRC named “The Culture of Islam” was published and handed out to the audience. Below is a downloadable PDF of the book:
