What books reconcile the verses and the hadiths? And what da'wah books present the merits of Islam in a style that appeals to Muslims and non-Muslims?
Among the easiest books for reconciling what appears to be contradictions in the verses of the Quran are: "Daf' Iyham al-Idtirab 'an Ayat al-Kitab" (Dispelling the Illusion of Contradiction from the Verses of the Book) by Al-Shinqiti, and the doctoral thesis "Da'awa al-Ta'ineen fi al-Quran al-Kareem" (Claims of Those Who Slander the Noble Quran) by Abd al-Muhsin al-Mutairi. From the classical heritage books: "Ta'wil Mushkil al-Quran" (Interpretation of the Difficulties in the Quran) by Ibn Qutaybah, and "Bahir al-Burhan fi Ma'ani Mushkilat al-Quran" (The Dazzling Proof in the Meanings of the Difficulties in the Quran) by Al-Naysaburi.
As for , among the older books are: "Sharh Mushkil al-Athar" (Explanation of Difficult Hadiths) by Al-Tahawi, "Ta'wil Mukhtalif al-Hadith" (Interpretation of Conflicting Hadiths) by Ibn Qutaybah, and "Al-Tanbihat al-Mujmalah 'ala al-Mawadi' al-Mushkilah" (Concise Admonitions on Difficult Passages) by Al-Ala'i. What is beneficial in both aspects is the doctoral thesis "Al-Ahadith al-Mushkilah al-Waridah fi al-Quran al-Kareem" (Difficult Hadiths Mentioned in the Interpretation of the Noble Quran) by Ahmad al-Qasir.
