Divine Promise
09 Oct 2010 []
In the sixteenth century, the Christians under the banner of Martin Luther and others rose up in protest against the hegemony, excesses & grievances of the Church and clergy. Although with sincerity, and perhaps for a few right reasons, their retaliatory ‘coup’ to the Christian orthodoxy did not bring the fruition anticipated and craved for. It was more of an impetuous and erratic mega revolutionary cataclysm rather than a concrete strategy for reformation. As a result, the religious, moral, social, ethical & spiritual droop of Christianity is palpable, and is worth lamenting for. CLICK HERE

The Hidden Truth About AIDS
09 Oct 2010 []
AIDS is a blood-borne disease, and as such its transmission is by no means limited to sexual intercourse. In fact, an infection with the HIV-virus is much more likely to occur through an abrasion or through a mosquito bite. Scientists have also pointed out that given the minute size of the virus, it can easily penetrate the molecular structure of a condom which, therefore, provides very little protection. CLICK HERE
Tolerance In Islam
09 Oct 2010 []
One of the most important themes of Islam is tolerance. There is no forced compulsion on people to change their religion. Throughout Islamic History tolerance was not only shown to Muslims who had different points of view, but also to non-muslims. Today, unfortunately, many Muslims have forgotten the true spirit of Islam. CLICK HERE

Dawah, Our Purpose Our Goal
09 Oct 2010 []
My talk today is on an important topic that touches every Muslim, regardless of their age, their background or their gender. The topic of Dawah is not new, as in the past great personalities such as Prophet Nuh, Ibrahim, Dawood, Musa, Isa and Mohammed (May the peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon all of them) have undertaken this responsibility. Their and their followers’ commitment to take the Divine Message to guide the people is beyond compare. However, this mountain of responsibility is now on our shoulders, as members of the Ummah and we now need to take the Divine Message to take the people on this earth. CLICK HERE
The Sword of Islam
09 Oct 2010 []
Among the ones who later joined this faith in Makkah were the honest merchant, Abu Bakr, the iron man of Arabia, Omar the Great, the shy buisnessman, Othman, the Prophet’s brave uncle Hamza and the family of a pagan’s slave, Bilal. They simply couldn’t resist the magic sword of a humble and lonely Prophet! The negligible minority of the Believers in this new Faith was soon driven away from Makkah ( with their ‘SWORD’).

Towards Understanding Islam
09 Oct 2010 []
Every religion of the world has been named either after its founder or after the community or nation in which it was born. For instance, Christianity takes its name from its prophet Jesus Christ; Buddhism from its founder, Gautama Buddha; Zoroastrianism from its founder Zoroaster-, and Judaism, the religion of the Jews, from the name of the tribe Judah (of the country of Judea) where it originated. The same is true of all other religions except Islam, which enjoys the unique distinction of having no such association with any particular person or people or country. Nor is it the product of any human mind. It is a universal religion and its objective is to create and cultivate in man the quality and attitude of Islam. CLICK HERE

True Words
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth, The parable of His Light is as if there were a niche, And within it a Lamp: The Lamp enclosed in Glass; The glass as it were a brilliant star; Lit from a blessed Tree, An Olive, neither of the East nor of the West, Whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it; Light upon Light! Allah does set forth parables for men: and Allah does know all things." (Quran 24:35)
Hadith
"Messenger of Allah, who is most deserving of friendly care from me?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your mother." He asked who came next, and He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your mother." He asked who came next and He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your mother." He asked who came next and He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your father." (Bukhari, Muslim).
