Prophethood: The Perception of Realities

2024-07-14T06:20:11

Just as the Qur’an is believed to be the revealed Word of Allah without any reservations, similarly, the Prophethood of Muhammad is also beyond any doubt. These two facts have to be taken as granted, otherwise, there cannot be a rational and sound interpretation of the concepts of Halal and Haram (lawful and unlawful), Wajibat and Manhiyyat (obligations and prohibitions), Athab and Thawab (penalty and reward).

Death Is Not the End

2024-07-13T18:00:16

Thinking about death strengthens one’s spirit and will. It prevents one’s lower soul from leading him astray, by being lured through the false temptations of this world. It instils him with the resolve and determination to avoid all forms of behavior unpleasing to God. It is for this reason that a believer must often think

Are We Grateful To God?

2024-07-13T18:00:15

No sensible person can imagine that these universal, all-embracing relationships could be a mere accident. This same subtle arrangement points to the fact that this cannot be the work of many gods. This is, and can only be, the work of One God, Who is the Creator and Lord of the earth, water, air, sun, vegetation, animals and mankind.

Little White Lambs

2024-07-13T18:00:14

By the time the ewe gives birth to her lamb, she never forgets its smell and the taste she senses while she cleans it with her tongue. That is why, she never accepts another lamb having a different taste and smell. This is really astonishing! While a mother in a hospital may well accept somebody else’s baby given to her, an ewe can readily distinguish her own lamb from all others in a crowded flock.

The Miracle of Honey in the Qur’an

2024-07-13T18:00:13

Honey, which is produced in amounts much higher than the requirements of the bees, is made for the benefit of man. And it is also obvious that bees cannot perform such an unbelievable task “on their own.”

The Arabian Peninsula’s Climate

2024-07-13T18:00:12

From the miracles of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, is that the Arabian Peninsula was once a lush green land full of trees and rivers. Prophet Muhammad said, “The Last Hour will not come… till the land of Arabia once again becomes meadows and rivers.”

When a Society Is Blighted by Ignorance

2024-07-13T18:00:11

Due to this so-called superiority, people in a state of ignorance feel an inconceivable admiration for the elite of the society. No matter how morally corrupted, their lifestyle is appreciated, moreover imitated. According to this philosophy, a person, albeit a totally morally corrupted, might easily occupy a high and respectable status in society.

The Arabic word translated as “confines” in the above verse is “aqtar.” This is the plural form of the word “qutr,” meaning diameter and refers to the skies and the earth having many diameters.

The Secret World: The Microscopic Life

2024-07-13T18:00:08

There are 20 times more members of this secret world, which is spread all over the planet, micro-organisms in other words, than there are animals on Earth. These micro-organisms, invisible to the naked eye, comprise bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae and Acarina (mites and ticks). They also constitute an important element in the balance of life on Earth. For example, the nitrogen cycle, one of the fundamental components

Rumors and the Media: Any Correlation?

2024-07-13T18:00:07

Fears and anxieties, both real and imagined, ancient and modern, form part of the social relationships between people everywhere. The mind is then set to believe anything. Rumors may be deliberately started or arise when people feed upon a diet of fantasy and horror as they do from television.

Belief in the Hereafter

2024-07-13T18:00:06

Either reward or punishment awaits man at the end of the trial that is the life of this world. Those who engage in good deeds, and have faith in God, earn the good pleasure of God, and are rewarded with an eternal Paradise. The wicked, those who deny God and transgress His limits, however, deserve Hell, where they will encounter eternal punishment.

Attaining the Good Pleasure of God

2024-07-13T18:00:05

Since it is God Who created man, provided him his sustenance and all other such blessings, and Who promised him eternal life in the hereafter, it would be an act of ingratitude for man to seek the pleasure of others, or the gratification of his own self, as his primary aim. The punishment for such ungratefulness is eternal hellfire.

Ignorant Societies Lead a Troubled Life

2024-07-13T18:00:04

In the ignorant societies, people lead troubled lives. This is surely a direct consequence of not putting one’s trust in Allah. Not believing in Allah, they assume they can avoid their responsibilities towards Allah and still enjoy all the worldly pleasures of life. Nevertheless, to their disappointment, one thing bothers them greatly: stress.

The Secret of the Night of Power

2024-07-13T18:00:03

As for the word “faith,” it implies that a person is correctly oriented to the future or, in other words, that he has the right goal, which is none other than Allah Himself, the Most Holy and Most High. So it is clear that the qiblat (the direction in which the worshiper prays)

The Hypocrites and the Fitnah They Cause

2024-07-13T18:00:02

The basic characteristic of hypocrites is their indulgence in fitnah. The Arabic version of the word “hypocrite” is “munafiq”, which means “the one who makes a division.” Dividing believers is a fitnah as well as a great sin. There are verses in the Qur’an stating that hypocrites try to practice fitnah among believers

Is God Near to Man?

2024-07-13T18:00:01

God’s Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) also reminded Muslims when they prayed that God is very close to them by saying, “You are calling a Hearer, One very close by; The One Who you are calling is closer to each one of you.”(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Wasn’t Prophet Adam the First Man?

2024-07-13T17:59:59

The verses’ statements are perfectly clear. Allah created Prophet Adam, peace be upon him, from dust. Prophet Adam is a special creation that emerged first from his existence in heaven and then from his removal from it. Yet evolutionist Muslims ignore this evident truth and maintain that “heaven” here refers not to the Heaven in the hereafter but to a beautiful area on Earth, despite the fact that the Qur’an specifies many features of the heaven in which Prophet Adam was created.

Spirit of Generosity

2024-07-13T17:59:58

Real generosity is not dependent so much on income as it is on the capacity of the heart. There are many who have the means to give, but not the heart to give. And there are many, who, the more they have the less they give. Henry Ward Beecher warned; “watch, lest prosperity destroy generosity”.
