Salam brother Paul. Whenever I am informing my fellow westerners about Islam, I direct them to your channel. Thank you for your knowledge and insight. Jazakallah Khair

AoA Brothers & Sisters!

My mother has passed away today in Pakistan while I am in Czech Republic.

I request everyone reading this comment to please read Fatiha and Darood Sharif 3 times and pray for the forgiveness of my mother.

I would be very thankful to everyone. JazakAllah!

“Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.”

Guys think about it, out of 4500 religions Allah chose you to be muslim. الحمد لله. AlhamduLillah ❤

Haven't watched it yet uncle Paul but I'm the rare breed that intends to buy all of them insha'Allah.

With Paul Williams monologues, the delivery is the product! His elocution impeccable, cadence precise, expressions civil, emotions restrained...

Frantz Fanon,"the wretched of thr earth" is of course a must read. As an Algerian, it is made clear what 130 offl french colonisation means. It is a very hard read, as a text but as he lays the truth about thr consequences and results on people under such brutal occupation.

Fan of "War and Peace". ‎جَزَاك اللهُ خَيْرًا 🤲🏽

you are one of the ummah's  tresauer Paul mashaa Allah

"Wind, Sand and Stars" (1939 memoir by A. de Saint-Exupéry)

We need to have a book tour of your library 😉

Can’t wait for Yasir Qadhi on blogging theology. I have been waiting since you started the channel.

‘Stealing from the Saracens’ by Diana Darke is a book that tells of how all gothic cathedrals, churches and university buildings like Oxford, St Paul’s cathedral, Big Ben (Neo gothic) throughout Europe, UK and the West all originated from Islamic architecture from centuries before! Without Islamic architecture there is no Gothic, Georgian or Victorian architecture style!

Tharik Hussain’s ‘ Minarets in the Mountains’ is wonderful. I read it before visiting Bosnia

Thank you brother Paul. I'm on a journey, finding forgotten Arab literature ( ignored by the west and left to sleep by the Arabs) . I am not a native Arab speaker, I hope all the works of the old Arab/ Muslim libraries get translated. It is a treasure.

"Crucible of Light" by Elizabeth Drayson is on my list.

This is an excellent collection of books, and it shows you're a dedicated reader. Thank you, Paul, for your very informative channel.

I always read several books at the same times :). The saddest part about Fanon is that he died a year before the liberation of Algeria.

The Screen, You, Books and Script all r complimenting....❤

Beautifully curated list, Brother Paul. These aren’t just “books to read” they feel like books to grow with. Each recommendation sounds like a meaningful companion for 2026. Thank you for consistently sharing thoughtful, sincere content that encourages deeper reflection.
