About us

Asalamualaikum,

I'm Munawar Ali, and I'm someone who found much good in the many talks Sheikh Hamza has given over the past several years. I make it a point to take notes, and the book recommendations he makes.

I'm a big Amazon.com user, and used to track Sheikh Hamza's Book recommendations on Amazon (You can still find the ListMania! list). Once the recommendations reached 5 pages, I decided to move everything to a website. That website has been upgraded several times to what you find here today.

So that's what this is. A Website documenting some of the important information Sheikh Hamza has passed on to us. The list of books Sheikh Hamza has recommended is the start. His Semi-Biography is something new. Jazakullah.

A Message to the Seekers

It should be noted that before Sheikh Hamza began to read into some of these specialized fields, his first priority was to establish a basic Islamic Education.

Many readers have contacted me in the past, and it seems like they wish to read what Sheikh Hamza reads, without putting in the proper work beforehand. AllahuAlim

Munawar's Link to Sheikh Hamza/Zaytuna/Alhambra

I have no relation to Sheikh Hamza or his organizations. I don't know him personally, have only met him a handful of times at lectures or book signings. This is simply created from the love a student has for his (albeit distant) teacher.
