  • The Traits of Successful Muslims
    With so many of the world events showing that some Muslims have lost the fundamentals Iwould like to provide some ayyats that describe the fundamentals of doing good deeds as one of the requirements of success in both worlds and that doing the opposite (evil deeds) results in the hellfire. But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with ...
  • Is it Haram/Not Allowed to read, understand follow Islam by the Holy Qur'an in a language other than Arabic?
    This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

  • Time Magazine Explains the Israel & Palestine Situation - "The End: How It Got That Way"
    Monday, Jul. 01, 2002 The End: How It Got That Way By DAVID VAN BIEMA Calamity is the mother of end-of-the-world prophecy. This is true as millions of Americans, many rattled into an End Times frame of mind by Sept. 11, line up to buy the latest installment in the Left Behind series, The Remnant. It was true when the first prophecies of the End appeared in the Hebrew Bible in response to a great national catastrophe in 586...
  • The power of the press: a double-edged sword
    If ever there was an instance where a small but hurtful act had worldwide implications, it was when a Danish newspaper hit the streets on Sept. 30, 2005. The paper featured caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, one of them depicting him wearing a turban in the form of a time bomb. The 12 cartoons were commissioned by the conservative paper Jyllands-Posten. Since then, the caricatures have caused an uproar in the Muslim world and sparked a new battle over freedom of speech, religiou...
  • Polygamy in Islam is an exception and not the rule based on the Qur'an
    This is such a confusing subject for both Muslims and non-Muslims but the Holy Qur'an makes it clear that Polygamy is permitted as an exception, not a rule under exceptional circumstances and the Qur'an declares it is not allowed except for the Prophet (PBUH) as it was for all prophets to ensure their lineage continued. As we can see below the Qu'an mentions the marriage of up to 4 orphans in the course of justice (in the Qur'an this was written during a time of war when many men were...
  • A reminder from the Qur'an that without Allah's permission we succeed or fail.
    This ayyat is very decisive and clear, that nothing can beat you if Allah is helping you. Conversely if you've incurred the wrath of Allah by not following his way and his messages, no one in the world can help you. It is a reminder that as much free will and control that we do have in this world, there are still many things we cannot control, predict or change regardless of the knowledge or power we think we have. If Allah helps you, no...
  • The root of modern day trouble in the Muslim World created by Wahhabism/Salafism from Saudi Arabia
    This article is meant to educate and inform the readers about history and facts about Saudi Arabia's history and current events that affect both non-Muslims and Muslims around the world. Saudi Arabia is home to the world's holiest cites in Mecca and Medinah and should above all be held to the highest standard of Islam and for mankind, but has failed completely on all levels to follow the Qur'an and to be a peaceful and positive force in both the non-Muslim and Muslim world that we are e...
  • Qur'an Surah Revelation - Location Which Surah was revealed in Madinah/Makkah(Mecca) ?
    I think this is very important when reading the Qur'an, it gives you an idea of the context and situation it was written other. Especially because anti-Islamists try and take a few select verses from the Qur'an out of context in order to convince others that Islam is violent and intolerant to non-Muslims. We must remember the conditions each verse was made under, and also take into consideration other supporting verses when reading and interpreting the Qur'an. If one verse...

    Key points from the Qur'an to consider: 2:79 Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.2:159 Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent down, and the Guidan...
  • More Debates about Violence In Islam
    Our response:I'd like to reply first of all by saying you cannot take random verses out of the Qu'ran and come to a conclusion. You have also just picked keywords and phrases out of the verses, some of which end by stating violence can only be used against those who fight you, and not those who offer you peace.We could find the same conclusion by analyzing the Bible or the Tor'ah (there are sites out there just like hate...
  • The Worst People.
    The Worst People. By Areeb Yasir. It was long ago, in the days of Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him), that everyday citizen’s of Islam cared for their fellow brothers and sisters. They took into their homes, fed, and clothed, gave money to the poor and loved one another. Doing what was right, was the main focus of that time, following Allah and doing right. That time has passed, dead with the ancient people, buried in the sand. We have long f...
  • Talk of the Town
    It’s easy to gossip. Occasionally it’s harmless and unintentional, other times it’s aimed. A pattern of gossiping for the deliberate reason to humiliate person(s) has become habit in the Muslim community. So much; that it’s developed into reflex. This effortless chat is strictly forbidden because it arises suspicion of perhaps innocent individual(s) or distort truths with intentional (and unintentional) add on’s. As stated in (24:19 Yusif Ali) Those who love (to see) scandal published broa...
