2012-02-03T14:34:00.002+04:00

It may be easy to say that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the greatest personality humanity has ever known in its extended history.

What Statehood means to Palestinians

2011-09-19T19:26:00.000+04:00

In the wake of Palestinian determination to seek statehood at the UN General Assembly in a few days, some readers may wonder what it's all about. Through a series of questions and answers, perhaps one can be more enlightened on this decades-long struggle. •Why are they insisting to go to the UN in this month? Palestinians want to go to the UN in order to get international recognition for their

Ten Ways That Nullify one's Islam: AVOID them at any cost!

2011-01-20T20:51:00.002+04:00

(Prepared by Dr. Saleh as-Saleh, this essay is based on Shaykh Muhammad At-Tameemi’s Classification) Know that Allaah has made it very clear that mankind must follow Islaam, hold fast to it and dissociate from whatever contradicts it. The declaration that "There is no God but Allaah" not only negates all false deities and confirms worship only to Allaah, it also requires the complete

Things that Endure

2010-12-10T09:26:00.000+04:00

By Sheik Salman al Oadah Allah says: "The things that endure, good deeds, are the best in the sight of your Lord for blessings…"This phrase is repeated verbatim in two places in the Qur'ân, in slightly different contexts. We first find it where Allah says: "Wealth and children are allurements of the life of this world: But the things that endure, good deeds, are best in the sight of your

The Story of Magicians and Moses

2010-09-29T21:04:00.001+04:00

By Ibrahim N. Abu Sharif Almost universally, the confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh is branded on human culture and memory. That epic face-off evokes familiar empathy for things like justice, struggle against apparent odds, and spectacular escape and triumph. If you're a reader of the Quran, you can't help but notice how the confrontation is told in several places and that the treatments

The month of Rajab

2010-07-08T16:54:00.001+04:00

By Mufti Taqi Usmani Rajab is the seventh month in the Islamic lunar calendar. This month was regarded as one of the sacred months (Al-Ashhur-al-hurum) in which battles were prohibited in the days of the Holy Prophet . It is also a prelude to the month of Ramadan, because Ramadan follows it after the intervening month of Sha'ban. Therefore, when the Holy Prophet sighted the moon of Rajab, he

2010-06-01T22:32:00.001+04:00

This is a story of a seeker of Truth, the story of Salman the Persian, gleaned, to begin with, from his own words: “I grew up in the town of Isfahan in Persia in the village of Jayyan. My father was the Dihqan or chief of the village. He was the richest person there and had the biggest house. Since I was a child my father loved me, more than he loved any other. As time went by his love for me
