This short article is not meant to say that the featured covers are wrong but to emphasise that with a little more effort, we can improve the look of our books - making them more attractive that commensurate with the books' good content.
Book 1 - Islamic Law Volume 2 - Zakaat
Before: Clipart is being used for the image. I always believe that cliparts are for powerpoint presentation for a primary school project. Text layout and font choice is conservative.
After: An appropriate image is selected. You can get these images from royalty-free image database. The book's title is made prominent. Fonts chosen compliments each other.
Book 2 - Islamic Law Volume 4: The Hajj
Before: I presumed that the above is for a series. The title is a dead give away but the books' design did not give the impression that they are from the same series.
After: If books belong to the same series, it is best that designs complement each other.
