Question
Could you please provide me with details or refer me to an appropriate site or book which describes the significant days of worship such as Shab-e-barat and laylatul Qadr and any other days and nights of importance. And also is there any special form of worship for each day such as praying something specific or fasting. Also, I would like to reeducate myself with the basics of islam and gain more in depth knowledge as well could you please recommend me some books (including the authors names)
Answer
Besides the 5 times fardh salaat there are other nawaafil on a daily basis which should be read such as ishraaq, chaast and awwabeen.
Also it is Mustahab (preferable) to fast on Mondays and Thursdays also on the 13th, 14th and 15th of each Islamic month.
Some recommended books:
1. Ta’aleemul Islaam- Mufti Kifayatullah Dehlawi Saheb
2. Ta’aleemul Haq- Shabbir Ahmad E. Desai
3. Basic of Islamic Worship
