What are the books a Muslim should read to benefit them and help them achieve what pleases Allah, the Almighty, the Majestic?
Allah the Almighty created jinn and mankind to worship Him alone, without any partner, as stated in His saying: "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." To achieve this worship, one must correct their belief and their acts of worship. A beginner is advised to read the book "Sharh Usul Al-Iman" (Explanation of the Principles of Faith) and the book "Fiqh Al-Ibadat" (Jurisprudence of Worship) by Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, due to their simplicity, clarity, and availability. After completing them, one can move on to more comprehensive books.
