<span id="goog_1434161030"></span><span id="goog_1434161031"></span>The Divine book revealed to the final messenger of ALLAH is Quran. The confirmation provided by the Quran itself, as well as chronological research, proves that the original Quranic text has not been altered or is expected to be tainted in the future. This is an exclusive characteristic of the Quran and is not shared by the previous Divine books now extant. The Quran exemplifies the <strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">deen</span></strong><b> </b>(The System of life) revealed to the previous Messengers of God in its true and perfect form. The form of expression of the Quran is neither poetry nor prose, but has its own approach and style. It has an extraordinary attractiveness and magnificence, and is inspiring.<br />

Quran is revealed for the whole of mankind so that they may know the purpose of creation. There are many common questions that arise in a person’s mind like why are we created? What will happen after death? How to lead our life in this world? How to deal with others? What are our duties that we should perform? How to be successful in the afterlife? And many other such questions that comes in mind. All the answers lie in Islam. </div>

Today Islam is the fastest growing religion in the western society. There are many scientists, engineers and from many other professional fields that end up converting to Islam because of the intellectual reasoning that humans are possessed with. </div>Quranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13734463989650586674noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239909932845138476.post-43780086634976226592011-02-24T03:30:00.000-08:002012-05-29T14:29:47.428-07:00Islamic World Revolution- No Acceptance Of AutocratsThe Quran recitation is a great way of getting the closeness of Allah (SWT), we all need to understand that Allah (SWT) has put our success in His orders and the Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam).<br />
Islam is the religion that is strictly against the dictatorship because it’s a style of leadership which can ruin the policy matters of a state. Islam believes that the people and the state should consider Allah Almighty the supreme authority and of course a human can’t be a supreme authority. <br />
<br />
An autocrat or dictator may have this feeling of supreme authority that’s why it’s not appreciated in Islam. Allah (SWT) tells us about the rudeness of Pharaoh, Allah (SWT) says in the Quran: “I am your lord most high”. This was the statement of Pharaoh and Allah (SWT) dint like it at all.<br />

The world has seen a great revolution in Egypt and the revolution was led by the youth. Here it is very important to mention that there are two categories which have supported every Prophet, one is youth and the other one is poor people. The youth played a vital role in the Egypt revolution; their stance was to have a country free of autocrats and dictators. The revolution would be fruitful if the people of Egypt start following the Quran and Hadith in real manner.<br />

We all must do Quran recitation to find the closeness and nearness of Allah SWT.

Therefore, today Islam is the only fastest growing religion is in the world. This is because whoever search for a reason and purpose of life ends up reverting to Islam.

He is mentioned in bible, torah and the Holy Quran. The most authentic accounts of pharaoh and Egypt is mentioned in Quran which are exact when compared with tangible historical data. Pharaoh regarded himself as deity and responded with slanders and threats to Prophet Musa’s (AS) </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">calls for him to believe in Allah.

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The holy Quran is a not an anti Jewish or anti Christian book, rather it came from ALLAH to correct the corruption done to previous Divine revelations. Islam is not a new religion, in fact all the Prophet’s of Allah came to give the same teachings of Islam. Muslims don’t despise any non Muslim and cannot misbehave with them from no reason. Allah says in Quran:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is very clearly mentioned here that Allah doesn’t forbid us to be kind and just with non-Muslims. It is also mentioned in Quran that there is no compulsion in religion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>“Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand- hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things.”</b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Muslims believe Quran to be the word of Allah. the most important reason to read and understand Quran with meaning is that it’s the word and guidance from Allah to mankind. When we work in a office we have to follow the rules and regulations of the company, same is the case with Quran. We are the creation and we must follow the rules and regulations laid down by the Creator.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> In order to do that we need to follow Quran since it is the only divine book in its original form. After realizing this extremely crucial fact in our heart, we may not need to remind ourselves the importance to hold on to Allah’s book and to seek the ultimate guidance from it. Allah states that anyone who truly believes that there is a life after this life (al-aakhira) also believes in this book. Allah mentions in Quran:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Muslims believe Quran to be the final word of ALLAH. Whoever studies Quran with intellect and logical reasoning will come to the conclusion that Quran is a divine revelation. there comes a time in life of every human when he/she thinks the reason for the purpose of the creation. why are we born on planet earth and Who is controlling everything? On this quest to search for truth and purpose almost everyone ends up reverting to Islam. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Quran</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> has answers to every question that a human mind is unable to answer.

Every creation in this world and universe has needs . In islam each and every action of a person can become worship if it is done in accordance with the commands laid doing by ALLAH in Quran or authentic Sunnah. In chapter al-An'aam, ALLAH says:</span></div>

Quran came not only to change couple of habits but it came as a complete code of life.</span></span></div>Quranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13734463989650586674noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239909932845138476.post-34679053933956907242011-02-07T02:40:00.000-08:002011-03-05T04:18:19.460-08:00Has Paris Hilton Converted to Islam: truth or hoax?<div class="MsoNormal">There are so many rumors spreading that Paris Hilton has converted to Islam and has left her previous obscene and vulgar lifestyle full of materialism.

Quran is a Divine revelation and there is not a single error or flaw in it, the authority of this book can easily be judged by reading it. If Quran gives references of history then they are authentic, accurate and even proved by the modern archeologists. When Quran refers to science they have been established facts in this technological era. Predictions mentioned in Quran 1400 years ago have been fulfilled in different times for example, the prophecy of Pharaohs dead body to be made sign for others.</div><a name='more'></a><br />

The world we live is going to end one day, only ALLAH knows when that day is. On that day the decision will be made on the basis of what have we been doing in the present life, those who lead their life according to the decree of ALLAH then there will be Paradise for them and those who opposed the way of life other then Islam will be punished as mentioned in Quran:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

People always make decisions or conclude what is realistically possible. History is evident that there have been various cases where events turned in a way which was impossible to even imagine or seeing it practical. The corrupt and oppressive leaders of the Muslim world never imagine that time will change. The authority, power and wealth they hold can go away in days. The overconfidence in their personalities for their authorities and power have made them so blind that such thought may have never even occurred in their minds. Same was the case with Tunisian tyrant ex-President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali. He held the office from 7th November, 1987, until he was forced to step down and flee the country on 14 January, 2011. He oppressed the Tunisians for a period of 23 years. He could have never imagined that he will have to run away from the very country he ruled for 23 years.<br />

Hosni Mubarek made desperate move by dismissing everyone in the government except himself. This made more people come on the roads. Now Hosni Mubarek is using brutal tactics to save his regime. America has fully supported Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarek. Bidens recent remarks for the oppressor Hosni Mubarek is</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

As much as the difference between rich and poor widens, as much the people gets frustrated by the rulers and governments.

The enemies of Islam were fully active during the time of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). When Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) started preaching the truth and ALLAH’s message, there were many enemies of Islam who opposed it and went to every means to stop the truth from spreading. They had no valid reason other than worldly desires and they didn’t wanted their temporary leadership and power to decrease. But they failed to stop the truth from spreading and those who stand support falsehood will always fail to stop truth, falsehood is bound to perish. ALLAH says in Quran:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>“And say, “The truth is here and falsehood has ceased to be! Indeed, falsehood is ever bound to vanish!” [Holy Quran 17:81] </b><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muslims shouldn’t worry about the hatred, lies, deceptions, plotting, misconceptions, Islamophobia, betrayals and oppression from the enemies of Islam. They were trying in the time of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) and they will continue trying till the Day of Judgment. We Muslims must have patience and tolerance in order to deal all this in a way our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) dealt and that is the way ALLAH want us to deal. We must use wisdom and intellect in order to respond to all the negative propaganda and planning. Neither should be have a apologetic behavior to respond to the misconceptions created by the enemies, nor should be so staunch that we reply them in their ways. Rather we must need to understand Islam by Quran recitation, learning the meaning of Quran and authentic Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet (Peace be upon Him). We must devise ways so that our families may get close to the teachings of Islam. We must not respond in a violent tone to their baseless accusations, they want us to get furious and be violent, so that they can give a different picture to the world that “see how violent muslims and Islam is”. They will never be able to extinguish the light of Islam because ALLAH is taking care of that. As ALLAH says in Quran:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>“They seek to extinguish the light of ALLAH with their mouths; but ALLAH refuses but to perfect HIS light, though the disbelievers may resent it.” [Holy Quran 9:32] </b></div>

The world has become a global village. What is happening in some street in America can be heard in Australia or other parts of the world. If a bomb explodes in Pakistan the whole world knows about it. People living thousand miles away can interact through internet or telecommunication or can travel thousand miles in some hours. All of this has made life easier and luxurious for mankind. Every positive thing can be made negative or can be seen as negative with a different mindset.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muslim youth are living or studying in western countries, even those who live and study in Muslim countries get all the secular education and they are very bright and talented in every field. It feels good when we see Muslim youth excelling but unfortunately they surpass only in secular education. There is no Islamic education provided to them in the whole period of education. Even in Muslim counties the curriculum focuses only on secular education.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So when they hear misconceptions and lies against Islam, they get confused as they themselves have no direct knowledge to Quran and the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Non-Muslims deliberately choose and pick verses out of context from Quran and intentionally create misconception to confuse non-Muslim masses and Muslim masses. There are millions of books written against Islam especially after the false flag operation of 9/11. All the misconceptions are refuted with logical and authentic proofs but those who are deliberately attacking Islam don’t want to understand.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In order to handle these problems faced by Muslims and especially Muslim youth, we must educate our children, brothers and sisters with proper knowledge of Islam. Quran recitation alone is not enough; we also need to understand what we read in Quran. We need a proper balance between Islamic study along with secular education both are important in order to understand this world and to get close to one and only ALLAH Almighty.</div>Quranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13734463989650586674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239909932845138476.post-53376218803601329442011-01-25T02:46:00.000-08:002012-04-21T17:11:58.482-07:00Why Islamophobia and Misconceptions against Islam<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Islam is the second largest religion in the world with almost 1.8 billion followers. Islam is the only religion in the world that is rapidly growing. A huge number of people are converting from other faiths to Islam. In America alone Islam is the fastest growing religion, however the enormous growth of Muslim reverts has led to a new line of propaganda that tries to give false and fake figures to show that Islam is not the fastest growing religion. In the past non-Muslim sources use to publish reports that suggests that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and especially America. Here is a link to News that was published before the false operation 9/11.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Nowadays, fingers are being raised at Muslims for so many things that are negatively stereotyped heavily on all media outlets in the world. Non-Muslims have categorized Muslims based on their own analysis; they refer some as Fundamentalists, Extremists, radicals, traditionalists, Islamists, moderates and ultra moderates. They consider fundamentalists their enemy and do as much as possible to make people of the world hate them. However, they define themselves who are fundamentalists and who are extremists and who needs to be stopped. For example, those who follow complete </span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Quran</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and Sunnah, want to implement the teachings of Islam on themselves and want to live under an Islamic rule are the most extremist and fundamentalists according to them because west doesn’t want an Islamic system of justice and moral values. The new ugly morals defined by the secular west are in direct conflict with the true morals and Islamic values. E.g. many in western societies don’t mind going to beach dressed in bikinis along with their male members of the families. Now this is extremely immoral and considered taboo in a Muslim society. This was even considered taboo in western society some decades back but they have redefined their morals. Now they want Muslim societies also to get indulge in their ugly immoral society values, where there are gay marriages, illicit sexual relationship and so much more. The hatred they hold for fundamentalists (True Muslims who stick to the fundamentals of Islam) is quiet clear from their mouth and plotting. </span>The New York Police Department was using an anti-Muslim video in training for officers. They are training their officers, who are supposed to be the law enforcement officers to hate Muslims and to deal them in a different way. There is good and bad everywhere, it’s not that all Americans or westerns are against Muslims and Islam. There are very good people who speak and stand for truth and Muslims. But I am referring to those who utterly hate Islam and Muslims.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Especially after the 9/11 twin tower incident, there has been so much bashing, negative stereotyping, propaganda and Islamophobia. Muslims are looked as terrorists. Thousands and thousands of books are written and published against ISLAM and Muslims. In doing so they are crossing every limit, from creating misconceptions against Quran, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Islamic laws and whatever they can find they try hard to give a wrong picture or create confusion. <br />
<a name='more'></a>The effort to give a bad name to Islam started from the days of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the hypocrites and the Jews tried their level best to stop the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from spreading but their efforts went in vain. ALLAH says in Quran:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>They desire to snuff out the light of Allah huffing and puffing at it with their mouths (by uttering banalities) but Allah insists upon bringing His light to perfection, much to the chagrin of the unbelievers. [Holy Quran, Surah Tauba 9:32] </b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Much as the unbelievers hate it, Islam is the fastest growing religion especially after the false flag operation of September the 11<sup>th</sup>. Without any proof and evidence the Americans invaded a Muslim Land in 2001 and killed millions of innocent men, women and children. Still the Americans are killing civilians and have oppressed them. Reports of American soldiers killing civilians for fun, raping Muslim women is common. In 2003, again the Americans lied and bombed and killed millions and millions of Muslims in Iraq. The whole corrupt and hypocrite Muslim nations are silent and support America directly or indirectly. We can very well imagine why is there so much Islamophobia against the faith of those who America is killing, murdering and brutally destroying their lands. Americans and the stake holders want a major portion to have no sympathy with Muslims by giving them a barbaric picture of them. But the harder they try to defame Muslims and Islam, more people wake up and realize the truth.</div>Quranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13734463989650586674noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239909932845138476.post-38725068263231346562011-01-13T22:04:00.000-08:002012-04-21T17:11:15.367-07:00The Books of ALLAH and the World (part 2)<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
The reason of these divine signs, whether they are to be found in the Quran or in the "book" of nature, is the same: it is to educate human beings about the natural world of the Divine truth. To be an individual of knowledge, one must learn two registers of divine communication: the Arabic text of the Quran and the "text" of the natural world. The world is a book to be considered and educated by the person of knowledge, just as the word of God is a book to be studied and learned by the religious scholar. In Quran ALLAH has called the people of intellect to ponder on the world and to find ALLAH. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Verily, in the alternation of night and day, and in all that ALLAH has created in the heavens and the earth there are signs for a God fearing people.” [Quran 10:6] </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, from the Quranic point of view, Muslims are People of the Book, but they do not study the Book in an ordinary way. Considerably, the Quran most repeatedly uses the Arabic verb "to study" which is referred as darasa in Arabic; this word is used when directing the speech towards Jews or Christians. These earlier "Peoples of the Book" are clearly told by ALLAH that they are gone astray from the spiritual point of Islam. An example of such a depiction can be found in the following verse: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Then, the unworthy and evil generation succeeded them and inherited the scriptures. They chose the benefits of this lowly temporal world and said, “We would be forgiven all our sins.” Yet, whenever the (chance to attain the) worldly gains of a similar kind came by, they grabbed it again. Hadn’t they made a covenant by the scriptures that they would not say anything about Allah except the truth? And they have studied the scriptures! The abode of the life-to-come is better for those who are righteous.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In the Quran, ALLAH summons people to ponder and inspect the signs of creation in their surroundings. The final Messenger of ALLAH, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), also encouraged people to obtain knowledge. He insisted that it is our duty to seek out knowledge. In the authentic Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) we read: <br />
<br />
<b>“Seeking of knowledge is incumbent upon every Muslim”</b></span></div>
<div class="metin">
<b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“Acquire the knowledge and impart it to the people.” </span></b></div>

In my previous post I gave a very brief account of the reasons and the present state of Pakistan. Now there are two extreme sides existing in Pakistan. On one side we have extreme Mullahs who interpret a version of Islam that they think is right, and on the other side there are seculars who have no value of Islam and they also interpret and mould Islamic values according to their new modernized mindset. Both want Islam to be the way they want it to be rather then accepting it the way ALLAH has revealed it for humanity.<br />

The strange thing is that these seculars call themselves Muslims and claim to understand Islam better than the rest and give an entirely new picture to the teachings and morals of Islam. They paint Islam in a way that is accepted by the modern western secular society. Where coeducation, singing, dancing, movies, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Christmas and other westernized activates becomes a part of Islam or at least not against Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand there are Religious extremists, who have no modern education and have only religious education and therefore have a very limited understanding of the world. Parents put their children in Madrasas, for Quran learning and religious education. Mostly it is because of financial reasons or because their kids are mentally weak. In most cases, they don’t have wisdom to improvise according to the modern times and needs. By improvising doesn’t mean changing the values of Islam like seculars do but rather adopting and devising ways according to Islam in the present times.<br />
<br />
The Scholar Dr. Abdullah Hakim Quick gives a nice description of the problem with such types of Muslim Scholars<br />

<i><span style="font-style: normal;">Pakistan was founded on the basis that there should be a separate Muslim state, where Muslims are able to practice their religion and culture freely. </span></i>Muslim independence has its derivation in the provinces where the minority Muslims resided as they faced social and political marginalization. This ultimately resulted in the creation of Pakistan which led to history’s greatest migration of refugees. A huge number of Muslim men, women and children were massacred in the process. The name <i><span style="font-style: normal;">Pakistan is a combination of two verbs ‘Pak’ and ‘Stan’, “Pak” in Urdu means “Pure”, “Stan” means place. Pakistan means “land of the Pure”. Land of the Pure believers of ALLAH.</span></i><br />

Pakistani TV channels are increasingly becoming vulgar and obscene. The moralities are changing gradually and almost everything on Pakistani dramas and programmes is unislamic. There are religious programmes as well, but the contrast is so odd. In short, selective Islam is implemented on some parts and there are many actions that are against the commands of ALLAH.</div>
