The project of Imam Yassine [may God Have Mercy on him] has begun with the first two books entitled respectively: “Islam between the Appeal and the State” (1972) and “Tomorrow Islam!” (1973) which laid down the fundamentals and bases of “the School of The Prophetic Method [Madrasat as-Sulūk al-Minhāji]”, then the book of “The Prophetic Method [al-Minhāj an-Nabawi]” (1982) which comprises the great marks of the school presenting an integrated and complete educational, spiritual and political conception of the Islamic dynamism (that is why this book is considered the ideological framework of the Justice and Spirituality Movement). Other books have come to expound the details of this conception in various disciplines. For instance:
“Islam and the Challenge of Secular Nationalism” (1989) deals with the position from Nationalism and the harm it has caused the umma and from the secular thesis.
“Reflections on Islamic Jurisprudence and History” 1990 sets forth the view to Muslims’ history and its relationship with the developments of Islamic jurisprudence.
“Guide to Believing Women” (in two Volumes) 1996 in which Imam Yassine propounds the position of Muslim women in the battle of change and construction in a complete freedom from the strict traditional view and the liberal western view.
Al-Ihsān [Spirituality] (in two Volumes) 1998-1999 which is the mainstay of “the Project of the Prophetic Method” due to of its deep analysis to Sufism and its affirmation as to the centrality of the educational basis in the Islamic Action. The book elucidates perfectly the contents of “Spirituality” the second part of the slogan of the school of the Prophetic Method, that is “Justice and Spirituality”.
“Justice: Islamists and Power” 2000 represents a complete theorization of the Islamic rule, the obstacles awaiting the Islamists and the ways to encounter them. It therefore clarifies the contents of “Justice” the first part of the aforementioned slogan.
In “A Dialog with Honorable Democrats” 1994, “On the Economy” 1995, “Shūra and Democracy” 1996, “Dialog of the Past and the Future” 1997, and “Dialog with an Amazighit Friend” 1997 Imam Yassine sets forth the view of the school of the Prophetic Method as for a number of contemporary values and principles such as democracy, capitalist and socialist economy, Amazighism and other topics.
“Winning the Modern World for Islam” 2000, the English translation of Imam Yassine’s “Islamiser la Modernité” 1998. The primary concern of the book is “to make known the message of the Qur’ān: a message of peace for a violent world, a message of sanity for a directionless world, a spiritual message for an ailing modern humanity (Foreword).” The Imam seeks to “clarify the ideas and the ideals that Muslims can share among themselves and with people of good will and sketch the framework within which harmony can be attained, and the causes of discord between Islam and modernity can be undone (Introduction).”
The following is a list of Imam Yassine’s bestselling books, the bulk of which can be found in the Encyclopedia “Siraj”:
