Caption above: Books taught at the Salafi Masjid, Small Heath, Birmingham each week in 2021-2022. These Arabic books are taught in English for the benefit of the listeners in the Mosque and those who tune-in live online (on radiosalafi.com). Then these lessons are archived as sound files on salafisounds.com for people to refer back to at any time.
