Answered by Shaykh Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf Mangera
Are there any books in English that you would recommend reading on anything to do with jihad — history, fiqh, etc.? Anyone I may refer to?
Assalamu alaykum
In the name of Allah,, the Beneficent the Most Merciful
For a good work on fiqh we could recommend the “Talim al-Haq” or the “Heavenly Ornaments.” For history we can recommend “The History of Islam” in three volumes by Maulana Akbar Shah Khan Najeebabadi.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalam
