Watching Silently

What is happening to the Palestinian people represents the worst type of oppression, transgression, and tyranny. The shocking thing, though, is that the oppressor is succeeding in covering up his crimes behind the veil of "self-defense" and "the protection of culture." His tyranny manifests itself in the form of seizing people's properties and attacking the sacred places: Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa - the first qiblah, the second masjid ever built, and the third in rank of virtue after the two Sacred Mosques of Makkah and Madinah.

Why the Arabs?

The Arabs possessed something that was not possessed by any of the other civilizations back then. That thing was quite unique to them. Maybe this can be understood from Allah’s saying in the Ever-Glorious Qur’an that means, “Allah is most knowing of where He places His message.” (Al-An`am 6: 124).

The Emergence of Gog and Magog

When Allah Wills them to be released, then at the end of the day they will say, "If Allah Wills, tomorrow we will break through." The following day they will find the wall as they had left it the previous day (i.e. it will not have returned to its original state) and after breaking the remaining part of it they will emerge.

A Brief Look at Islam’s Contribution to Mathematics

The new numeric system did not only affect science. Its value was manifest in many aspects of daily life, from the calculation of customs dues, taxes, almsgiving (zakat) and transport charges, to the complexity of divisions of inheritance. A further useful innovation was the mine of separation in fractions, which eliminated many frustrating confusions.

A Tale of Two Pencils

In business administration, it is well known that if one does not have his or her own plan, he or she will be part of others' plans. A real human being who has sound reasoning never accepts to be a marionette in the hands of others.

The Preservation of Private Sanctities in Islam

Moreover, the care of our upright Shari`ah about the sanctity of houses and preserving them reached to such an extent, that it stipulated among the etiquettes of seeking permission, that the one who is doing so should not stand directly in front of the door of the house, but that he should rather stand on its side in order to avoid seeing

How Can We Recharge Our Faith?

Ever felt like you are having an Iman dip? That after being a very active, productive Muslim – praying on time, reading Qur’an frequently, always looking forward to doing good deeds – you are becoming lazy and that your enthusiasm to perform the same way is fading? I have felt like that so many times. Life is full of ups and downs, and the downs are sometimes powerful enough to distract us and lower our enthusiasm. Yet, there are easy solutions that can help us get over an Iman low.

Duality in Creation

There are antimatter equivalents of all the basic particles in the universe. Antimatters possess the same mass but carry opposite charges. For that reason, when matter and antimatter make contact they disappear by turning into energy.

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi

Of great importance also was al-Khwarizmi’s contribution to medieval geography. He systematized and corrected Ptolemy’s research in geography, using his own original findings that are entitled as Surat al-Ard (The Shape of the Earth). The text exists in a manuscript; the maps have unfortunately not been preserved, although modern scholars have been able to reconstruct them from al-Khwarizmi’s descriptions.
