Our satellite channels in Ramadan

Our satellite channels in Ramadan

The month of Ramadan has approached. It the month of blessings, during which the entire universe is adorned to receive it and hearts beat out of joy and yearning to witness the month. During which the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell-Fire are closed, and devils and demons are chained. During which a caller is saying: O you who intend good, approach and O seekers of evil, desist. And freedom from fire is (allowed) by Allah and that is every night. However these blessings, a Muslim is afflicted by things which corrupt the days and nights of Ramadan. [...]

The Goal in Life

The Goal in Life

Success and happiness in this world and the Hereafter depend on tazkiya, the purification and nurturing of our personality. The Quran states that true success is only reserved for those who seek to purify themselves: “Successful indeed is the one who purifies his whole self. Our personality comprises not only the physical body but also the mind and the heart, feelings and attitudes, character and behaviour. Proper nurturing and development of these elements of the personality will achieve desirable goals. When goals are desirable, the process of aspiring to, working towards and achieving them also become desirable. This is part of [...]

Beauty is part of the retribution of righteous deeds

Beauty is part of the retribution of righteous deeds

The one who laid down the divine doctrine is the creator of man, therefore there was a full consistence between the doctrine and the natural disposition which was created in man. As long as beauty has a great impact on one's soul, Allah made it part of the reward of righteous deeds and a result for straightness in this life. Thereby beauty is the prominent element in the retribution which Allah prepared for His Righteous Servants. The Glorious Qur'an drew attentions in many Ayahs to this meaning where the focus came intensive on sight more than others where it is the [...]

Medical Aspects of Islamic Fasting

Medical Aspects of Islamic Fasting

Muslims worldwide observe total fasting (no food or water) between dawn to sunset in the month of Ramadan. They do so not for losing weight or any medical benefit, but as it is ordained in Qur’an which says. "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you, as it was prescribed for those before you (i.e. Jews, & Christians) so that you may (learn) self-restraint."(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:183) According to Islamic Laws, children below the age of 12, sick patients, travelers, and women who are menstruating or nursing a baby are exempt from fasting.

High Hopes for the Dunya

High Hopes for the Dunya

Praise be to Allah and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone with no partner with Him. I also bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. Allah dispraised some people who had high hopes that busied them from doing good deeds for the Hereafter, then they were attacked by death while they were heedless. They wished to have long lives to achieve what they could not achieve, but how far was what they wished. Allah (Exalted be He) says: “How much would those who disbelieved [...]

Knowledge and Implementation

Knowledge and Implementation

Beauty within a person or an object is usually described as something which is rare, eye- catching, attractive and alluring to the eyes of the beholder. One such rare attribute within the believers is the beauty of beneficial knowledge intertwined with implementation. For sure, the implementation of knowledge is one of the most beautiful and intriguing characteristics Mu'aadhah, the great muhaddithah and teacher had. She wasn’t from those unfortunate women who possessed knowledge, yet never saw the fruits of it within their lives, because such knowledge is then just a burden for the one who acquires it, rather than a means [...]

Abortion and Fear of Poverty

Abortion and Fear of Poverty

The Qur’an says: “And when the good news is given to any of them of a daughter, His face turns dark and he is filled with grief.” (Qur’an, Surah An-Nahl, 16:58) In Pre-Islamic 7th century Arabia, the custom of killing female children was very common.

The Sensation of Skin Pain

The Sensation of Skin Pain

It was commonly believed, for several centuries, that the body is all sensitive to pain. It was not clear then that there were specialized nerves in the body responsible for transporting all kinds of pain and other sensations, until recently when anatomy has discovered the role of specialized nerve endings in transporting all different kinds of pain. The most significant nerve sensations in the human body are: The sensation of touch: the corpuscles responsible for such sensation are called Meissners and Merkels corpuscles.
