I agree, some of the books by Khurram Murad are quite good. I believe he is from the Ikhwaan camp, but many of his books are on Tazkiyya-e-Naffs.

Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah was from the Ikhwaan camp.... as were other scholars of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah.

As a rule of thumb, it is best to avoid most books specifically published by "Salafi" websites/publishers like:
******************
TROID (from Canada)
al-Hidaaya Bookshop (Birmingham, UK)
Darus Salam (known for tampering works)
Message of Islam
Books of Abul A'la al-Mawdudi
Al-Manhaj publishing
Jamiat Ihyaa Mihaj al-Sunna (from Ipswich)
It is quite easy to spot a "Salafi" book once you know who has published it! What also gives it away is their spelling of words. Examples: Allah is spelt: Allaah, Salafi = Salafee, Sufi = Soofee - so they double the letter E or A in general!
Be warned O true Sunni's!
Wassalam
Khurram Murad rahmatullahi `alyh was a jamaati, he was the editor of the jamaat's magazine Tarjuman ul Quran, Maududi's ideas about hadeeth, "sectarianism" and the fuqhaa have crept into his works {though I can't recall specific instances too clearly}
"Islahis" are graduates from "Madrasat ul Islaah" founded by an Aligarhi, Hameed ud Deen Farahi whose methodology was to deny anything in Islam that he found to be non-PC or strange. So he denied the punishment of Rajm for the married Zaani, the killing of the murtadd, the decent of Maseeh `alyhissalaam etcetera. Along with being "Islahi" Amin Ahsan was also a student of Abd ur Rahman Mubarakpuri {sahib Tuhfat al Ahwadhi}. Javed Ghamdi is Amin Ahsan's student.
Also albalagh.net is run by brother Khaid Baig in Canada and he sells on it whatever he considers to be beneficial in his personal opinion, that's why you'll find Waheed ud Deen khan's books there, who is another writer to avoid.

Assalam
Shaykh'Saleh ibn Utaymeen was not a (anthropomorphist), please read his book called
Exemplary Foundations Concerning the Beautiful Names and Attributes of Allaah, read this inshallaah, it will clear any doubts.
Don't read works of Jeeli, I think he was deviated, if not correct me??
How about the works of Babaharee, Saybonee, and foundations of Sunnah of Imam Hanbal Raheemullaah!!
Allah Knows Best
None has the right to be worshipped but Allaah

Where is the proof from Qur'an and Sunna to believe that istiwa means - settling literally on the Arsh? We affirm Allah's Istiwa - bila kayf wala ma'na - as Imam Ahmad believed.
Barbahari was the one who believed (as did al-Marwazi, al-Khallal, ibn Batta, ibn Abi Ya'la, ibn Taymiyya, ibn Qayyim and others) that Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) will be seated on the arsh next to Allah (see Tabaqat al hanabila under his biography and Siyar A'lam of Dhahabi)! Is this your aqeeda? The English edition of Sharh al-Sunna ascribed to Barbahari - conveniently left this fact out! Why?
Sabuni was a Shafi'i Imam and a Sufi according to al-Dhahabi in his Kitab al-Uluw.
If the Isnad back to Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal is Sahih - then the aqeeda is likely to be sound.
Al-Jeeli - do you mean - Abdal Qadir al-Jilani? If so - then he is praised by many (like ibn Taymiyya) though his Ghunya seems to be tampered.
^the Ghunya is tampered? Is the one published by al-Baz tampered(translated by Muhtar Holland), should I stop reading it?

i have also heard that we should avoid Muhsin Khan as his translation of the Qur'an and his Sahih Bukhari commentary is said to very flawed. Maybe Brother Abul Hasan could elaborate on this.
