Politicians and journalists just love to write about the oppression of women in Islam … without even talking to the females beneath the veil.

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. “By the sky containing great stars. And by the Promised Day. And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire)! Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: When they were sitting near it. And they witnessed (all) that they were […]
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful “Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just. Allah only forbids you, […]
For me, he is the emblem of heroism, of wisdom, of passion, of love of Allah. He accepted Islam as ten year old child, when very few were willing to risk their lives. He grew up, literally, in the house of Allah’s beloved (Salallaho Alaihi Wasalam -SAW). He resembled Rasool Ullah (SAW) in mannerism and […]

Our Lord! give them double torment and curse them with a mighty curse!” (33:66-67) The verse illustrates the perils of blindly and unquestioningly following […]

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful “And verily! This your religion (of Islamic Monotheism) is one religion, and I am your Lord, so keep your duty to Me.
