Al-Quran

Al Quran

Those who consume interest cannot stand ( on the day of resurrection) except as one stands who is being beaten by satan into insanity. That is because they say, “ trade is (just) like interest.” But Allah has permitted trade and forbidden interest. So whoever has recieved an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair resist with Allah. But whoever returns to (dealing in interest or usury) those are the companions of the fire; they will abide eternally therein.  [Surah Al-Baqarah, 275]

Al-Hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah R.A narrated that Prophet P.B.U.H said: “Learn the Quran and recite it, because the example of one who learns the Quran, reads it and recites it in Tahajjud is like an open bag full of musk, the fragrance where of spreads over the entire place, and a person who has learnt the Quran but sleeps while the Quran is in his heart, is like a bag full of musk but with its mouth closed.”  [Tirmizi, Nasai]

Do you know what the colorful buds say when they blossom? What the birds sing while taking flight in early morning? Have you pondered upon the panorama dwelling in the seas?

Why Should Sahabah Be Our Role Models

Editorial

Why should the Sahabah (radi Allahu anhum) of Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alahi wa sallam) be our role models? They had different personalities and different professions and none was a great scientist or movie star or athlete, so why look up to them or learn about them? The answer is that they were the followers of Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alahi wa sallam) just as we are.

Mothers: Symbol of Love

Editorial

Whenever I see the pigeons feeding the small beaks opened in front of them, whenever I see the hen spreading her wings around the chicks, whenever I see the ducklings being trained by the duck how to swim, I feel myself mesmerized under the influence of these scenes. I look at the lioness licking the future king of the jungle.

I notice the cats milking their children. I observe the elephants walking with their kids. I see the bear in wrath taking revenge of her teddy bear with the tiger. I become astonished on this phenomenon.

Aerosols and the ozone layer

Editorial

The steady concentration of ozone in the stratosphere depends on the balancing processes of the formation and destruction of ozone.When ultraviolet light strikes a molecule,ozone is formed. In nature,this is a slow process with a regeneration half-time of three to four years. In the lower atmosphere,ozone is formed when oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons emitted from motor vehicles,power plants and other sources come together in presence of sunlight and water vapour. Ozone(O3) readily absorbs ultraviolet light and dissociates into O2 and o. The stratosphere is one of the middle layers of the atmosphere that starts some ten miles above the Earth’s surface and extends to a height of about 30 miles.

Father O father

Why do you do this

Why you carve those statues of wood

And fashion those idols out of clay

Father O father

Why do you do this

Why do you bow down and pray

To all of those empty gods you’ve made

I know such a far better way

There is only one God

Secret to forever beauty

Editorial

I asked: "what do you do for enhancing your inner beauty, related to purification of your soul?"

The reply was:

"I offer prayer five times daily and recite Holy Quran with translation"

I wanted to say:

"These are not the enhancing materials. These are the "pillars" of beauty. If you dont follow them your heart and soul will become smudged with blackness. Once you start observing prayers regularly and reciting Quran, your innerself will begin the process of purification.

Good Manners Conquer Hearts

Editorial

Islam through its instructions and legislations was keen to organise people’s relation with their Lord the Almighty, in order for them to attain happiness in both this life and the Hereafter. At the same time, Islam legislates what governs people’s relations amongst each other, in order for love and harmony to prevail in the Muslim community. This can be achieved only when each individual is keen to protect and guard the welfare of others just as he would his own, and only then will the Muslim community become strongly bonded and well-established.

Editorial

Allah says: “lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east ( i.e. neither it gets sun rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e.  Nor it gets sun rays only on the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil will almost grow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it.” (24:35)

Tirmizi and ibn Majah narrated that Abu Hurairah (R.A) related from the prophet that he said: “ eat the olive and use it as an ointment, because it is produced by a blessed tree.”
