Employees of the darul-kutub.com electronic library project have digitized a number of pre-revolutionary publications on Islam. We would like to dwell on some of them in more detail.
Kiraat arabia. This comparative little work belongs to the pen of the prominent Tatar journalist, teacher and publicist Habibrahman Abdulvalievich Zabirov (Habibrahman Zabiri). The textbook “Kyraat Arabia” was compiled according to the “from simple to complex” methodology. At first, the reader becomes acquainted with the Arabic alphabet, and by the end, with due diligence, he will be able to read the Arabic text. Short Surahs of the Qur’an are given as reading exercises. Thus, the textbook “Kiraat Arabia” repeats the meaning and idea of another popular to this day textbook “Mugallim Sani”.
Ilm al-ahlyak. This work belongs to the Muslim theologian, philosopher and systematizer of the science of Ilm al-Qalam Adududdin Abdurrahman ibn Ahmad al-Iji. Adududdin al-Iji served as supreme Sharia judge (Qadi) in Ij, Persia. Among his students is an outstanding theologian, philosopher, fakih Saduddin at-Taftazani. The book “Ilm al-ahlyak”, as the name implies, covers issues of Islamic morality and ethics.
Maglumat. This book belongs to the category of reference books on the main issues of Islam. The information in this book is given in a question-and-answer format. It should be noted that this format was very popular among the Tatars.
We remind you that you too can contribute to the development of the darul-kutub library. If you or your relatives have old Muslim books at home, you can transfer them to the Khuzur Publishing House. Books will be carefully digitized and will benefit a huge number of Muslims around the world.
In 2019, the book fund of the Darul-Kutub.com electronic library was significantly enriched – 166 “new” scanned works published in Kazan before 1913 were posted on the site. Thus, today the Darul-Kutub.com electronic library contains more than 1,500 rare and old, as well as new religious books, among which there are classic pre-revolutionary works by Tatar scholars and theologians. The Darul-Kutub.com project is actively developing by the Khuzur Publishing House DUM RT in order to preserve the Tatar theological heritage and its further study, translation into modern Tatar and Russian languages. The site allows not only to find valuable works, but also to read these books online or download for free. The site design is adapted for all screens of PCs, smartphones and tablets. You can search by authors, book titles, and categories.
