Books and References for CICFL Courses

Peace be upon you.

I received some questions regarding sources (books and references) for the courses taught at CICFL.

In response to these questions, I created a link on OneDrive where we can upload relevant sources under each course.

So far, I have uploaded some selected English sources for some subjects.

Here is the link where you can view these sources:

We may add more sources in the future insha-Allah.

Kind regards
