Samahat al-Islam fi al-Ta‘amul ma‘ Ghayr al-Muslimin (The Tolerance of Islam in Dealing with Non-Muslims) is a contemporary treatise addressing the principles and historical precedents of Islamic tolerance toward non-Muslims and in legal practice. Drawing upon texts from the Quran, the prophetic Sunnah, and Islamic history, the work defines tolerance as leniency and facilitation, presenting it as a foundation for affection, coexistence, and commercial ethics while refuting claims alleging that Islam promotes violence and extremism.
al-Sahih al-Masbur min al-Tafsir bil-Mathur (The Examined Authentic Compilation of Tradition-Based Exegesis) is a multi-volume Quranic commentary devoted to collecting exclusively authentic tradition-based interpretations of the Quran. Arranged according to the standard order of Quranic chapters, it pairs verses with clarifying texts and gathers sound narrations from the Prophet, the Companions, and the Successors while strictly excluding weak and fabricated reports.
