If
it be a question of complete and comprehensive knowledge of God, then, of
course, we must accept that man's ability to know does not extent that
far. God's characteristics cannot be placed within given limits, and
whatever comparison or simile we offer for them is bound to be false, for
whatever is observable to science and thought in the natural realm is the
work of God and the product of His will and command. Is man, then, too
abject and powerless to perceive anything of the essence and attributes of
so elevated a reality? Continue... |

It
cannot be gainsaid that the Ashura Day or the Tragedy of Karbala has no
parallel in the history of the world. Though its significance has been
realized by a large number of people, yet it requires to be brought home
to the ignorant masses and the educated persons, who are desirous of
learning the true concepts of Islam, but have been handicapped by hearing
or listening to only one-sided or biased accounts.

Reaffirming
our pledge to Imam Husayn [as]. . . The
Sun of Dhul Hijjah has set. It takes away with it the warm happiness and
joy. The darkness spreads as the moon of Muharram ascends, a thin crescent
cloaked with sorrow. It brings with it the cries of the household of the
Prophet [pbuh]. The month of Muharram has arrived and with it comes the
remembrance of the tragedy of Karbala.

A
tasbih (rosary) is a beautiful thing. One hundred beads strung together
with a single string each representing one of the beautiful names of the
almighty all the beads lined up shoulder to shoulder. One bead by itself
is alone, insignificant and hollow. But when all the beads are joined
together it is complete, strong and becomes an instrument for the
remembrance of God (dhikrAllah).

Every
country and every form of government has a common method and style of
replacing its leaders. From the very simple tribal systems of rule to
the more complex and elaborate forms of world government, you would be
hard-pressed to find a single example in which a country does not have a
system and a setup for replacing its leaders. It’s vital for a country
that when the current leader dies, is killed, or steps down that another
individual is there ready and able to take his place and keep the
country stable and in order.

Philosophers,
past rulers of the world, and even Miriam Webster himself, have all given
us their insights on the term ‘revolution’. Mahatmas Gandhi put the
idea in a few simple words; “You must be the change you wish to see in
the world”. ‘Revolution’ in essence is the drastic change in ways of
thinking and behaviour, on a personal, as well as on a societal basis.
Every desire is revolutionary, because it aims at changing something out
of its norm. The only thing that stops that ‘change’ is you. |

A
box, made of bricks, covered simply by a black piece of cloth: With no
previous knowledge, and only this incredibly inaccurate definition, one
would be shocked to know that it is talking of one of the three houses of
Allah [SWT] on this earth. Something so simple, yet grand and majestic at
the exact same time, is what we know to be the house of Allah [SWT] in
Mecca, that millions of Muslims make pilgrimage to, every single year.

After
picking up the Qur’an for the first time I was immediately struck with a
memory of an on-going recurring dream I had my whole life. In the dream I
am reaching forward towards an old book that sits open on a wooden table,
the room is dimly lit by candle. I feel compelled to get to the book, I
must reach it but a force holds me back. I occasionally reach the book but
the words are unclear and I suddenly wake up, feeling lost and frustrated
by the dream.

Secrets
of Success: Discipline Not
only that discipline is a secret of the success of great men, our universe
also stands on the same foundation. If the solar system is working
regularly, if the stars are revolving around the sun systematically and if
there is no flaw in this function for millenniums it is only due to the
fact that the solar system is based on order. Continue...
