Based on the S¿ra and Fiqh of 'Umar bin Khä¿¿b, 'Abdullah ibn Mas'¿d, ¿li ibn Ab¿ ¿¿lib and 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (R.A.).The manner the Muslims are observing the daily obligatory and Friday prayers is contrary to the Sunnah. There is no gain saying the fact that it exposes the illiteracy ignorance and arrogance of the world Muslim Umma. There are proofs and evidences in this book. This edition is therefore an embodiment of the ¿ad¿th, "Seeking knowledge is obligatory and compulsory on a Muslim and believer." The Sunnah on ä-¿al¿t is the most important duty and function of the office of Müammad Ras¿lullah and his representatives - the Caliphs. There was never a caliph but included in his instructions to his workers: "¿al¿t is the most important Pillar of Isl¿m in my mind. I beseech you to uphold it as taught and practiced by the Holy Apostle." It is the greatest simple comprehensive act explaining the meaning of 'Democracy' enshrining qualities and obedience to a leader, and when it is imperative to disobey him. In it lies peace, prosperity, security, growth and development of mankind. The book in addition will prove that there is no opinion difference or disagreement on the Sunnah, and that all the practices of the Holy Apostle have been reported. This book is therefore undoubtedly a must to all Muslims.This fourth edition aptly sub-titled "Gateway to Firdaws" and released in Müarram 1438, is a response to the deficiencies by Western Muslim scholars and writers on this most important Pillar of Isl¿m in their attempt and sincere desire to explain it to that Muslim yet to learn 'Arabic language and prepare for his final abode. It is because of my quest to know the truth and be sure that I will enter Paradise, for which I made research on the actual Sunnah of the Holy Apostle on this sole Sunnah, the stepping stone to paradise.

A few weeks after I made an attempt to rocket power a Dinky Toy, nearly blowing up the Toolroom in the process, I left the Meccano factory to present myself at Cardington Air Force Base to do my National Service in the R A F.Three days later I was back, having been pronounced unfit to serve Queen and Country because I had suffered two severe bouts of pneumonia as a child. At a previous medical I had been graded A1.My family were happy to see the return of the 'prodigal', not so my current girlfriend, she had wasted no time in finding a replacement.After my explosive exit I was also less than welcome when I arrived back at Meccano on the following Monday but, because I had left to do my duty in the armed forces, by law they had to give me my job back. I was immediately moved into the Tool Repair, next door where, presumably, they thought I would be out of harm's way, and the main Toolroom staff would be safer without a budding bomb maker in their midst. Life moved on, then one Sunday afternoon I happened to be near Binns Road and decided to pay a nostalgic visit to the old Meccano factory, now closed. Outwardly the building looked much as I remembered but when I peered in through a small window set in one of the massive doors I looked upon total devastation, demolition was well under way. For a long time I gazed as the memories flooded back so real and fresh, that I realised such unique experiences should not be allowed to simply fade away as the place in which they were created was fading away, they must be preserved. And so . . . .All the incidents in this narrative actually happened although, obviously, not precisely as depicted.This book has not been written to extol the wonderful products which poured from the Binns Road production lines for over fifty years, that has been done many times, but rather it is to bring to the reader the experiences, good and bad, happy and sometimes traumatic of a young apprentice growing up in the legendary factory that was Meccano. Except for the author most of the names have been changed to protect the innocent (and the not so innocent).

This is a very personal story about a relatively ordinary British couple working in Uganda East Africa. Idi Amin had fled the country after losing a war against Tanzania. This is an eye witness account about the Ugandan citizens who had survived the killing fields of Idi Amin's regime, only to be brutalized by the people they thought had come to liberate them. This story reflects a fascinating insight into the turmoil and horror of a country and its people suffering under political and social breakdown. It would be difficult to read this book without feeling the frustration, anxiety, compassion and fear. Author Cass Cassidy earned an MBE for his work in Uganda.

ROY 'CHOPPER' HARTLE'The backbone of the club' - Gordon Taylor'Bolton Wanderers through and through and a legend' - Andrew Dean, BWFC Promotions Manager'A gentleman off the pitch but so committed on it' - Syd FarrimondRead the story of a man, the youngest of ten children, who became the toughest player in the Football League's most fearsome defence and was reckoned by many to be the best right-back never to play for England.A man who was part of the team which lifted Bolton's last major domestic trophy - the FA Cup - after a 2-0 triumph over Manchester United.A man who coached the manager who would later steer his team to World Cup Final victory.And a man who was proud to represent Bolton Wanderers at the opening of the new Wembley and one of only three BWFC legends to have part of the Reebok Stadium named after him.* Cover illustration by Walt Howarth. who wittily captures Roy's distinctive playing style in this cartoon from 2000. Walt, a big Bolton fan, first became involved with the Wanderers by drawing players for the match-day programme from the mid-1940s onwards. He also provided the art work for many children's books in the 1950s and 1960s and is best remembered for the illustrations he did for the Doctor Who annuals. Walt, pictured with Eddie Hopkinson, Roy and Nat Lofthouse, died in 2008 aged eighty. His ashes are scattered on the Reebok pitch.

Born in Liverpool in 1945, Roy Starkey grew up fascinated with the natural world. As a schoolboy he joined the local botanical society and made a number of trips to isolated bird observatories around the British coast. At the age of twenty-five he became disillusioned by the politics of university research and decided to leave and do his own thing.With very little money, no boatbuilding skills and no experience of the sea he built Sea Loone, a thirty-three foot sloop, and sailed away. The boat and crew were soon tested on the ocean, first losing the mast over the side and then sailing into one of the worst gales ever - the 1979 'Fastnet Gale' - which claimed eighteen lives on the 306 yachts participating in that year's biannual 'Fastnet Race'.Over the next nearly forty years Sea Loone sailed throughout the tropics finally completing three very convoluted circumnavigations of the world. Having experienced hardships, tragedies and many happy adventures, Roy at last decided to put pen to paper and record his remarkable story.
