Remember that they have to be published before 1923 before you can begin. We'll also need an independent proof-listener who can understand the language, unless the works are in English.
I'm doing a collection of faith-based works in five major religions, could use something uplifting and in English from Islam.
Mystics and Saints of Islam by Claud Field
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/24314
is one of the few source books I've found.
You might find more (like the kids' books) in Archive.org 's Text section.

You could try this book:I'm new here, and I was thinking of reading some Arabic books (children books or other texts). What do you guys think? Any "how to" suggestions?
Al-Rawdah al-zakiyah (1905) by Azoo, Rizq Allah

There's also an English translation entitled:
Gems of Arabic literature; being the English translation of Ar-Rauzat-ua-Zakiah ... translated for the first time from the original Arabic into English by Syed Hamood Hason (1916)

This looks like an inactive thread so I'll see if anyone is following. I am reading Claude Field's translation of 7 sermons by Meister Eckhart, and am thinking about reading Mystics and Saints of Islam - by the same writer - next. Any links to a pronounciation guide for the many Arabic and Farsi, and perhaps Urdu, names? Or any proof-listeners out there that could help? It's a fairly long work (422 pages on my iPad) - so I might be amenable to launching a collaborative work.
