Assalamo Alaikom, Brother Mateen
I would like to contribute some of my books to your program, but I do not know the process or the restrictions, if any, such as on the format (Word versus PDF, etc.), the maximum number of pages, the method for uploading large size books…, etc. You know that most of my books are large in size and contain photographs. Should photographs be kept in the manuscripts or removed from them? Please clarify.
My most recent book which should see the light in just few days, Insha-Allah, will deal with Allah’s 99 Attributes, and it contains tales of the Prophets (as). Attached are 2 PDF files giving you an idea about most of the books which Allah has enabled me to write, edit or translate. The smaller file contains only books published in the U.S. The other file contains books that have been (or have not been yet, some of them I do not know for sure if they have been published) published in the U.S., U.K., Iran and Lebanon.
As you may have come to know, our dear and most respectful Brother, Dr. Abdul-Sahib Hashim, lost his closest friend and confidant, his wife Sr. Nancy, so he is grieving, and I hope his involvement in your program will get some of this tragedy’s loss off his shoulders.
May Allah bless you and reward you for serving His Deen, Allahomma Aameen, Wassalamo Alaikom.
Yasin
