Islam and western World

Dear Islamic brothers!  In this age and time of materialism where everyone is running behind money, name, fame and worldly success, almost every individual finds himself forced to adopt western way of life. It is generally believed that western culture and following its values guarantees “success” to its followers in this world. That is why we see People blindly following it without knowing the harms and dangers it is bringing along with it.

Everyone knows that it is the western world and its culture which have made parents unmindful of their children. Neighbors are indifferent to the neighbors.  Spouses are always in the fear of losing one and other and youth is in the state of confusion and bewilderment. Piety is no more admired but it is abhorred. Modesty has become a stigma and gentle manliness a sign of boring personality. One needs to be open, bold and shameless in order to keep himself going along the pace and current of this modern mode of life.

We also know that Western culture and values are very rapidly overpowering every other culture and values. But we have also to admit that they are bringing in their wake depression, frustration, moral corruption and ever growing greed of attaining what one does not have. In short the general dissatisfaction with life is a byproduct of this so called modern way of life.

After reading the above state of the affairs, there are some questions which naturally arise in a curious mind “is there any solution for this decayed state of affairs? How can one save humanity from the clutches of this perpetual degeneration? Is there any code of life which not only ensures the moral and spiritual well being of humanity but also fulfills the requirements of this world as well? ”

Dear brothers! Yes there is an answer to all these questions. There is a curing remedy for all these ailments. There is an ointment for healing all the scars and wounds on the soul of humanity. The name of this remedy and ointment is Islam.

Islam-a religion, not only ensures the success in both the worlds but also promises the eternal bliss from the creator.

Islamic beliefs and values make a man a complete man. If one needs peace of heart and mind Islam has it in its store and announces “Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest” (Qur’an, 13:28)

The gripping anxiety a modern man is suffering is direct consequences of being unmindful of Almighty Allah. Anyone who turns away from the remembrance of Almighty Allah will have a life of hardship in this world. Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) has said: { And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.} (Qur’an, 20:124)

Another major problem mankind is facing today is racism. In spite of its glory and success west is unable to eradicate the racism. Islam has a practical solution to this curse in form of salah and pilgrimage. In salah anyone can become leader of prayer without any discrimination of cast, color or race as long he fulfills the requirements of leading a salah. In pilgrimage everyone is allowed to come and visit the house of Allah and stand shoulder to shoulder without any discrimination of cast, color and race.

Another characteristic of Islam is its promotion of positive outlook on life which discourages every kind of pessimism and negative attitude. The followers of Islam are always told to remain content with the divine decisions and submit to His will. The adversities whatsoever instead of creating suicidal tendencies in a Muslim remind him of paradise and its bounties which are waiting for him if he exercises patience at the time of these adversities.

We are well aware of the fact that family is the basic unit of society and it is this basic unit which ensures a peaceful society. Islam recognizes this fact and gives clear guidelines in this regard as well. In Islam husband is the head of family and it is his responsibility to keep his wife on the straight path. Other than that a father is also responsible for the proper upbringing of his children. And upbringing does not mean only physical grooming of them but it also includes necessary religious education and building of their moral character on the guidelines of sharia. Quran says {O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones}(Quran 66:6)   

Islam is indeed the only solution for the problem humanity facing at this point in time. May Almighty Allah enable us to understand the value of this great gift. Ameen.

What are the Basic Beliefs of Muslims?

Religion has always been a source of guidance for humanity. And a perfect religion is only that which guides and instructs its followers not only in their day to day dealings but also in their creed to set a right direction for them in this temporary life. Moreover when both these things are combined together and are observed with full spirit only then we find a human being living a life full of internal bliss and peace.

Islam as a religion is exactly like that. Without any exaggeration it is able to guide us in every sphere and phase of life. The comprehensiveness of Islam is enough as an evidence to prove that it is the only real Divine-ordained religion. Here in this blog we shall have a very brief look upon the basic beliefs of the Islam as a faith.

The following are the most basic articles in Islam to have faith in:

• Faith in Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
• Faith in Angels
• Faith in Divine Scriptures
• Faith in Messengers
• Faith in the Day of Judgment
• Faith in Destiny

Let’s discuss them very briefly:

1. Faith in Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: Muslims believe in one God. And they call Him with the name Allah. He is alone. There is no partner to Him neither in His being nor in His attributes. Only He is worthy of worship.

2. Faith in Angels: Angels are the creation of Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ and they are created by light (nur). They are humble servants of Almighty Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ who carry out His commandments.

3. Faith in Prophets of God: Muslims also believe in the institution of Prophet hood. Almighty Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ chooses whomsoever he wills as his Prophet and that Prophet communicates the Divine message to His bondman. Adam عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام is the first of all the Prophets while Muhammad صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم is the last and final Prophet. There can never be any Prophet after him. Some other Prophets are also mentioned in the Holy Quran. All of them came with the same message of oneness of Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ and that only He is the worthy of worship.

4. Faith in Revealed Books of God: Muslims also believe in the divine word which is only revealed to the chosen Prophets. The Holy Quran is last of all the book of God. It is free from any distortion and is protected from every forgery and distortion. Many books were revealed to the Prophets before the Prophet Muhammad صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم but all those books were, unfortunately, distorted and manipulated by the people.

5. Faith in Day of Judgment: Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment as well. The whole creation will be resurrected on this day. It is the day of accountability wherein every human being will have to stand for the accountability of his actions done in this life.

6. Faith in Destiny and Divine Decree: Muslims believe that the knowledge of Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ is perfect. Everything happens with His will and knowledge.

Dear Islamic brothers! These are the most basics of the Islamic beliefs. And in order to learn more detail please visit our website http://www.dawateislami.net. And download the book “Welcome to Islam”. Insha Allah this book will illuminate our hearts with true teachings of Islam.

May Almighty Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ enable us to choose the real Divine path and keep us on it for rest of our lives! Amen.

Islamic Ethics vs Liberal Ethics

Honestly offspring’s of Adam & Eve, Muslims develop their Islamic-ethics from the sacred book Al-Quran-e-Kareem and Hadith shareef (sayings of the Noble Prophet), while Quran-e-Kareem encloses more than a few commands and Muhammad’s (Ummatee) followers must act upon. The Hadith shareef presents Muhammad صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ as the perfect human, whom Muslim-Ummah must imitate in all esteems. Muhammad صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ was revealed upon the Ummah as a mortal-being, appointed by Gracious Almighty Allah (God) to teach the word of Allah (God) and lead a model life, as the best “Model” for mankind in virtues and perfection. The beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ is living evidence, of what man can be and of what he can achieve in the realm of excellence and virtues.

And those who struggled in Our path – We shall surely show them Our paths; and indeed Allah is with the righteous ones. (1)

Muslim believers look at the whole thing in a different way and morality comes from the beloved Prophet’s actions and good is whatever He exercised. Morality does not decide the Prophet’s actions; however His actions decide and outline morality. The acts of the beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ are not conventional acts but are Gracious Almighty Allah’s own acts endowed, guided and permitted by Gracious Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Whoever desires harvest of the Hereafter, We increase the harvest for him; and whoever desires the harvest of this world – We shall give him part of it, and he has no share in the Hereafter.(2)

It was for this approach and by this reason that beloved Prophet Muhammad’s sentiments became the beliefs of Islam while his personal lifestyles and habits became moral essentials; Gracious Almighty Allah’s directives for all disciples in all ages and places to follow.

You are the best amongst all the nations that were raised among the people – you command what is good and prohibit what is evil and you believe in Allah.(3)

Islam is a complete way of life, and ethics is one of the keystones of Islam.  Ethics is one of the essential sources of a nation’s power, just as immorality is one of the leading causes of a nation’s failure.  Islam has established some all-purpose essential rights for humankind as a whole, which are to be perceived in all situations.  To endorse these rights, Islam has delivered not only legal safety measure, but also a very operational moral system.  Therefore, whatever leads to the prosperity of the individual or the society and does not face any sayings of the religion is ethically good in Islam, and whatever is harmful is ethically bad.

And let there be a group amongst you who invites towards goodness, and commands what is good and forbids what is evil; it is they who are the successful ones.(4)

Well-known of its significance in a vigorous society, Islam supports ethics and substances that lead to it, and positions in the way of dishonesty and substances that lead to it.  The administrative principle for the conduct of a Muslim is (Virtuous Deeds) and this term covers all deeds, not only deeds of worship.  The Protector and Evaluate of all deeds is Gracious Almighty Allah (God) Himself.

The most essential characteristics of a Muslim are virtues and modesty and a Muslims should be modest with the Creator Gracious Almighty Allah (God) and also with all His Creations.

And turn not your face away from people (with pride), nor walk in insolence through the earth.  Verily, God likes not each arrogant boaster.  And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice.  Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the ass. (5)

A Muslim should not be unproductive or devoted to the temporary desires of this world. While record people let the material world to fill their hearts, Muslims should keep Allah (God) in their hearts and the substantial world in their influence.  Instead of being devoted to the Pullman and the work and the credential and the bank figures, all these possessions become tools to mark us better societies.

It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness (the quality of ) the one who believes in God and the Last Day and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; who spends of his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, to the needy, to the wayfarer, to those who ask and for the freeing of slaves; and who is steadfast in prayers, and gives Zakah (Alms); and those who fulfill their covenants which they made; and who are patient and perseverance in poverty and ailment and throughout all periods of fighting.  Such are the people of truth, the pious. (6)

Definition of the verse demonstrates that morality and piety is centered before all others on a correct and truthful faith.  The significant to virtues and good behavior has a strong bonding with Gracious Almighty Allah (God), who perceives all, at all times and universally.  He discerns the secrets of the hearts and the plans behind all acts.  And so, a Muslim must be ethical in all situations; Almighty Allah (God), is very well aware of every one, when no one else is therefore, we can deceive the whole world, except for Him.  We can escape from the world, but not from Him, so when there is no escape why disobey Him.  The affection and endless awareness of Gracious Almighty Allah (God) and the Day of compensation enable’s man, to be ethical in behavior and honest in intentions, with dedication and devotion:

Do not ever think of those who rejoice for their deeds and wish to be praised without doing (good deeds) – do not ever think that they are safe from the punishment; and for them is a painful punishment.(7)

Aj banta hun mu’azziz Jo khulay Ḥashr mayn ‘ayb

Haye ruswayi ki afat mayn phansun ga Ya Rab

Translation: Ya Rab! Today, I act as if I am a respected person. Alas, I will be disgraced if my faults are exposed on the Day of Judgement. (8)

Ethics in Islam lectures every feature of a Muslim’s life, from greetings to comprehensive relations.  It is collective in its scope and in its applicability’s, whereas morality rules in selfish needs, arrogance and evil behaviors.  Muslim-Ummah must not only be ethical, they should also command virtues and not only abstain from immoral but must also outlaw them.  Furthermore, must not only be ethically strong, but they must also contribute to the ethical condition of the society as a whole.

You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefit of) men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in God; and if the followers of the Book had believed it would have been better for them; of them (some) are believers and most of them are transgressors.(9)

Islamic Ethics <> Conclusion;

When observing Islamic-ethics, Muslims appreciate Muhammad صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ as model human-being, the one all mankind should strive to imitate. Along with extra universal virtues, the 5 Pillars of Islam form a core of Islamic-ethics and supports incentives for ethical deeds along with keenness of final judgment is the strongest.

Is holy Quran significant for the human race?

Are the Stances of the holy Quran just for Muslims? If Gracious Almighty (God) is the creator of the worlds and the noble Prophet is pronounced as the messenger for the worlds and the holy Quran is stated as a notice to the worlds, then what is the significance of the Quranic meaning to the world? How can the Muslims and non-Muslims, benefit from the collective message of a collective and compassionate Creator?

…Read with the name of your Lord Who created. Created man from a clot. Read and your Lord only is the Most Beneficent, The One Who taught to write with the pen. The One Who taught man all what he did not know… (1)

The holy book of Gracious Almighty (Al-Quran), Muslims believe is the ultimate statement, Gracious Almighty revealed for human-beings through noble Prophet, in the 7th century. Muslims also believe that the holy Quran confirms all that was revealed to all the former messengers of Gracious Almighty.

…Indeed following the Noble Prophet of Allah is better for you… (2)

The Muslims believe the guidance of the Quran is for all time, and all people and none shall touch but those who are clean (purified), however more serious among them believe that the verse refers to the pureness and sanctity of the heavenly message highlighting, the fact that it is revealed by the One who is absolutely authentic, Gracious Almighty and delivered by the one who is sacred and pure Guardian, Angel Gabriel and delivered to the one and only dearest Prophet Muhammad, who is acquitted from committing any mistakes in delivering the divine message.

…And O dear Prophet, We have not sent you except with a Prophet Hood that covers the entire mankind, heralding glad tidings and warnings, but most people do not know… (3)

Dignity of Human Beings:

The Laws of Quran do not deprive mankind of their human rights, for their gender, color or even secular view. The holy Quran debates in a wider term and states; no one has a right to disagree mankind’s dignity, which is Gracious Almighty’s given right.

…Whoever wants a long life, increase in his sustenance and protection from bad death, should continue to fear Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and treat his relatives with kindness… (4)

In the past, world had trouble in appreciating the legitimacy of this Quranic memorandum. Societies were victimized on the basis of their culture, status, gender, religious activities and political authorities were in case justifying these perceptions. A model case of rejection of such dignity can be discovered in India where conferring to religious scripture a group of people were written off as low classes or castaways because of their natal in a specific communal group.

Universalization of Natural Resources:

Another Quranic message related to humanity at large is its importance on the universality of nature’s resources. Soil, waters, the skies and wind are equally beneficial for all. None can control them only for their personal use and none can deny others the rights given to them. Therefore the holy Quran states, …Gracious Almighty has created for you all that are on earth; furthermore His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He has perfect knowledge… (5)

The sharing of these human resources, in a way that would guarantee the self-worth and unity of humankind is a key challenge for human-beings. Battles have been fought for land-dwellings and access to nature’s wealth such as water, land-dwellings or gas without understanding that, none of these nature’s resources were created by human being, yet human-beings have always battled over their greediness to control them.

… And we made every living thing from water… (6)

The holy Quran clarifies the determination to provide these wealth are to make sure that human-beings are not run-down of their basic needs for existence. Today about 1.7 billion people slumber with hunger and over 60% of the population earns less than a dollar a day. Hunger is common and so is penury and people deprived of clean water, even though there is plenty of a fresh water reserve. Today people are forced to slumber on boulevards, underneath the open blues, yet there is quite a land to make available housings for everyone.

… Then ponder that, We created you from soil… (7)

Justice for all:

Holy Quran not only highlights justice, but also endorses a pace exceeding justice and reminds that people who are expected to attain success are those who transform their characters and no longer push others away to greedily fulfill their own desires. Realizing that the other person’s need is more severe, they happily allow them to fulfill it first.

…And do not let the enmity of anyone tempt you not to do justice… (8)

Every society demands justice as its core value, however we find that every society violates its own values and supports injustice on the center of divisions that individuals have fashioned amid themselves. So much unfairness, dishonor and rejection of basic human-rights take place in our world, because people incline to view justice for others as not compulsory. On the other hand, without resulting to justice, it is not possible to consider self-respect, harmony or universality of civilization.

…And let not the enmity of the people who had stopped you from going to the Sacred Mosque tempt you to do injustice… (9)

Peace is the goal:

Quran’s ultimate goal is to secure a peaceful human-society so that a peaceable family can safeguard the well being, of an individual for getting true prospective of life and organizing a life that is perpetual in every sense. The harmony of people, the self-esteem, the integrity and the universality of human-wealth surface the route for harmony.

…Whoever kills a human being except in lieu of killing or causing turmoil in the earth, so it shall be as if he had killed all mankind…? (10)

Conclusions:

Therefore, the message of the holy Quran is collective and perpetual, while the Divine sets the principles through messages sent to human-beings. It is upon us to strive for the path of harmony, self-respect, universality, integrity and ceasefire, not the path to claim with each, who is superior to the other or who would succeed for the Grace of Almighty Allah (God) and who would not.

Authorities of the beloved Prophet to See the Unseen

Quran is a star house of knowledge and wisdom containing references, related to knowledge and its results. This obviously indicates the great importance on knowledge and its acquirement at all stages of life.

This (Quran) is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who are certain (in faith). (2)

In its intellectual wisdom, there are 2 types of Knowledge or education, one which is educated in Madrasa, schools, academies and institution of higher education called (the knowledge of the books), in the advanced order. For an untrained-man as well as for the majority of the population this is what institutes the knowledge and it is believed to be enough to fulfill our physical seek and desire in this behalf.

These are the tidings of Unseen that We reveal to you in secret. (7)

However, there is yet another branch of knowledge, which is skilled and achieved directly or straight through the divine support, requiring neither the educational institutes, nor skilled teachers and degree holders. This is the mystical or heavenly region of knowledge, which in Quranic terms is known as the “Knowledge of the Hidden” or (Eilmay-Ghayeeb), constituting one of the essential principles of Islamic faith. In detail, the faith and unfaith in the Hidden “Ghayeeb” is the differentiating spot of an individual being a Muslim or a Pagan.

Conviction of the Ahle-Sunnah about Eilmay-Ghayeeb

Mufti Ahmad Yaar Khan (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه) say’s;

Gracious Almighty Allah has informed His Prophets about certain things from the Unseen. The knowledge of the Prophet is more than anyone else’s. Nobody can be equal to the knowledge of the Prophet’s knowledge in the world. The 5 special things of the Unseen, Allah has informed some of these parts to the Prophet. (4)

This is the office of knowledge, Super-human in nature beating the human intelligence and dominant over all other knowledge, in any other field of human activity, challenging all methods of conveying and getting education and knowledge. This is basically an emblem of Heavenly Grace presented upon the chosen servants of Gracious Almighty Allah, alike tender blissful rain showered upon the hearts and souls of the esteemed inheritors on earth.

I know well that Allah is Capable to do all things. (1)

However, this does not mean that Gracious Almighty Allah restricts and retains the Knowledge of Hidden exclusively to Himself and does not disclose any part of it to any other person. These marvels have been verified at different places in the Holy Quran.

Imam Tabari writes under this verse:

Gracious Almighty Allah  has told the Prophet, you must thank Gracious Almighty Allah Who has informed you of what has already happened and what will happen in the future and this is a great grace of Gracious Almighty Allah upon you.(5)

In the verses of the Holy Quran it is clear that Gracious Almighty Allah bestowed the Knowledge of the Hidden upon His chosen Ones, but unfortunately, most people do not know this and contrarily, refuse to believe it, without realizing the consequences. These religious souls at times disclosed this Marvelous bestowment in order to influence the people and clear their suspicions and diverting them on the right track of religious belief and Faith.

KOI GAIB KYA TUMSE NEEHAN HO BHALA

JAB KHUDA

HI NA CHUPA TUMPE KARODON DAROOD

The Hidden Knowledge was also bestowed upon the noble Prophet, the most revealing and surpassing miracle given to the dearest Prophet of Gracious Almighty. More or less, one lack and twenty four thousand Apostles were elevated, at different ages of time with specific knowledge of the Hidden realm. However the Knowledge of Hidden bestowed upon the noble Prophet was boundless in space and scale with, Hidden secrets the Holy Prophet learned thru the knowledge bestowed upon him by the Grace of Gracious Almighty Allah.

Sayyiduna Sahl Bin Sa’d رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated:

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said on the day of Khyber, ‘Tomorrow I will give this flag to that person, by virtue of whom, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will bestow victory. He loves Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasul (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasul (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) loves him as well. (6)

The undisputed point remains that Gracious Almighty Allah granted the Hidden Knowledge to the noble Prophet and thru Him to “Auliya Allah” Friends of Allah. If someone denies and suspects the genuineness of this Divine Truth, he is certainly guilty of falsehood and declining the prominence of Divine Favor. An individual if convicted as a (Foul mouth), is worthy of being disqualified from the position and rank of Muslim-hood. The eminence of a true Muslim is that he admits and believes each and every command of Gracious Almighty Allah and deeds upon it ungrudgingly and completely and encourages others to do so.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ud رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated, ‘Amir-ul-Mu`minin Sayyidunā ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم is such a scholarly person of great eminence who possesses both the knowledge of the seen and unseen.’(3)

Respecting the throne of the beloved Prophet is an essential part of a Muslim’s faith!

Darbaar “Throne of Pre-eminences” of the holy Prophet is a (Grand Darbaar), surpassing the dignity of worldly Rajahs and crowned heads. It is an action of misbehavior and misdemeanor to even utter loud words in His Grand presence; such an act reasons the loss of all other virtuous deeds of a Believer, deprived of the Heavenly Grace.

But if anyone opposes the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows a path other than that of the believers, We will hand him over to whatever he has turned to, and We will roast him in Hell. What an evil destination! (8)

The companions of the holy Prophet used to sit in his company in due respect holding their breaths and not making any movements to disturb the self-esteem of the gathering. They would only utter courteous phrases like: Dear Prophet of Gracious Almighty Allah! May well, my parents be sacrificed at the feet of your self-respect. Every question positioned to them, their answer used to be, (Gracious Almighty Allah and his Dearest Prophet knows better).

Conclusion;

Progenies of Adam and Eve, countless Praises be upon Gracious Almighty Allah for, He has gifted us one of his dearest amongst (approximately) 1, 24000, Forecasters rejoiced upon earth. It is clearly understood there is a Prophet amongst us that knows about tomorrow and everyone knows that our Prophet did know about the future events up to the Day of Judgment and even after. If considered that he knew nothing of the Unseen, how else could he have told us about Hazrat Mehdi (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام), the Dajjal, the return of Hazrat Essa (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) Jesus, the examination (Question & Answers) of the grave, (pull-e-serath) bridge over hell, which every soul will have to cross, the weighing scale (meezaan), where everyone’s deeds will be weighed up.

A Healthy Ramadan with Precautions is better than Cure

Ramadan-ul-Mubarak is a heavenly month, queued at the 9^thspot, in the order of the Islamic calendar. It is an Islamic month in which, Muslim Ummah is encouraged to practice and exercise self-control. Fasting in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, we can recover health, only if attended in an appropriate way. Monitor our fasting tips and make life-style reforms to get the best out of this Ramadan-ul-Mubarak. Let this time of year, be a time of revival in spirit, soul and body.

Zakāĥ of body

Sayyidunā Abū Ĥuraīraĥ رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has narrated that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: “There is Zakāĥ (charity) for everything, and the Zakāĥ of your body is fasting, and fasting is half of patience.” (1)

Guidelines for a healthy fast in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak

Fasting in Ramadan carries a high-risk of dehydration, as nutrients are limited from early sunrise till sunset. In addition for fasting, Muslims are encouraged to wake-up very early to have their pre-dawn meal Sahari, but please remember to consume the right type of food and in the right quantity is the key.

Eat Saḥarī because it is a blessed (food). (2)

Don’t skip “Sahari” [pre-dawn meal]

According to a popular saying, “breakfast is a very important meal of the day” and in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, it turns out to be even more significant!

Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His angels send mercy upon the people who eat Saḥarī. (3)

Avoiding Sahari prolongs the abstaining period, as our body relies on the earlier meal to provide all the nutrients and liveliness till Iftar. Due to lengthier hours of fasting, we are expected to feel dehydrated and exhausted throughout the day. Furthermore, missing Sahari also encourages overeating in Iftar, which can reason an unhealthy digestive system.

Sayyidunā ‘Irbāḍ Bin Sāriyaĥ رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has narrated that once the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم called him to eat Saḥarī with him during the month of Ramadan and said: “Come for a blessed breakfast”. (4)

Important Note:

Fajar Azaan is just for Salah (prayers), not for fasting; therefore Sahari must not be delayed to such a point that the time of dawn Subh-e-Sadiq appears to start. A number of Muslims keep eating even after dawn, in progress of Azaan sayings: Pay attention! This act does not close the fast; in fact it leaves the fast absolutely open and makes it null and void. As a result you will gain nothing, but will have to bear thirst and hunger the entire day.

Don’t overeat during Iftar (dinner)

Evenhanded, as it is not suitable to escape Sahari, over-eating can also harm your body, while opening the fast. Iftar must be a well-balanced healthy diet, and not an extensive meal! Over-eating and too much intake of large calories food, can affect the digestive system. People usually eat to their full in both Sahari and Iftar times and come across constipation and high-blood pressure.

Avoid eating fried foodstuffs

It is not rare, about fasting Muslims to compensate themselves with fried pakoraas, samosaas, rolls, kacchoriyaan, and other deep fried sticky dishes which are considered essential at Iftar meals. Even though these foodstuffs seem good to eat, but for a short ride, they can make abstaining the next day more challenging.

Instead, we should try foodstuffs from all light food groups, as well as fruits and vegetables. Eating fiber rich food, in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak is also acceptable, as they are digested easily than junk food. “Health is wealth” is a very popular saying in our lifecycle, which is time and again referred by our elders. Physical health is very essential for our natural life and to acquire that we need to eat in a measured style.

And eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread at dawn; then complete the fasts till the coming of night. (5)

Drink plenty of water

Use of liquid refreshment, as much as possible, amid Iftar meal and Sahari pre-dawn meal, can reduce the risk of dehydration in fasting.

Liquids include juices, milk, soft drinks and thirst-quenchers, but water is the best option, ideally, we have to also cut down on caffeinated drinks like tea, coffee and Colas as these drinks promote liquid loss.

Conclusion:

A well-secure intake is extremely vital for a healthy fast, in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak!

Blessed month of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak approached with the note of endurance, virtues and serving the deprived. Eating according to limit and abstaining from hefty-oiled diet is not the directive of Almighty Allah, but is the designed need of a human digestive system. Fasting not only safeguards us from misconducts but also protects us from diseases. By taking these precautionary measures we can stay healthy, so thank Almighty Allah for good health and celebrate Eid-ul-Fitar in a dazzling mode.

Virtues of Fasting in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak

Dear brothers and sisters of Muslim Ummah! Inshallah we are about to host very soon, a generous and an honorable guest; a visitor, who stopovers once in a year and brings all sorts of goodness and happiness, along with the widespread mercy and forgiveness of Gracious Almighty. Imagine a visitor passing the Aroma of Heavens, nearing us towards Gracious Almighty and His promised (Jannah) Paradise. Ramadan-ul-Mubarak certainly, trying to driving us away from Hell fire, well-known as the month of Quran, mercy, forgiveness, praying at nights, Charity giving month, solidarity, mutual help and the month of all blessings.

In Islam Muslims are advised to be kind and generous towards the guest and what if the visitor is the best guest, what are we supposed to do, think? Should we exert ourselves in generosity, which is a sign of good conduct and great worship or should we just ignore. Response! Be thankful for the immense mercy of Gracious Almighty upon us, that He made us Muslims and extended our lives to welcome the most honorable guest. Therefore, be thankful and grateful to Gracious Almighty, for allowing us to witness Ramadan-ul-Mubarak and also try to please Him as much as possible during this remarkable month.

Fast is a hidden form of worship; no one can come to know about your fast until you tell it to others. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ likes hidden worship more. A blessed Ḥadīš says, ‘Fasting is the door of worship.’ (1)

Muslims fast why? It is a human persona to enquire and to speculate why things happen. Muslims ensure things to please Gracious Almighty, and we can please Him only by submitting and practicing Islam. As a result, in response to the query, why do we fast?, we answer back, that it is a directive and a clear order from Gracious Almighty upon us and we have no other choice but to obey Gracious Almighty  and gratify Him with Love and Fear at the same time.

Karlay tawbaĥ Rab kī raḥmat ĥay bařī

Qabr mayn warnaĥ sazā hogī kařī (2)

The month of Ramadan in which was sent down the Quran – the guidance for mankind, the direction and the clear criteria (to judge between right and wrong). So whoever among you finds this month, must fast for the (whole) month; and whoever is sick or on a journey, may fast the same number in other days. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ desires ease for you and does not desire hardship for you so that you complete the count (of fasts), and glorify Allah’s greatness for having guided you, and so that you may be grateful. (3)

Islam means submission to Gracious Almighty, we have no other choice, but to surrender our-selves to Gracious Almighty and follow His orders. It is from the mercy of Gracious Almighty toward us, that though He recommended us to fast and presented us with the Virtuous of Fasting in Ramadan hereafter.

The reward for fasting is immense, as mentioned in the following Hadith:

‘On the first night of Ramadan, the portals of the skies and Paradise are opened which remain open until the last night (of the month). So if anyone offers Ṣalāĥ in any night of this month, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will reward him with 1,500 virtues for every Sajdaĥ (prostration) and make a palace of red rubies for him that will have 60,000 gates. The gates will have hinges of gold that will be embroidered with red rubies. Thus, the one who fasts on the first day of Ramadan will be forgiven for his sins until the last day of the month and 70,000 angels will ask for his forgiveness from morning till evening. Each time he prostrates during the day or at night, he will be granted a tree in Heaven and each tree is so huge that a horse rider can ride under its shadow for 500 years.’ (4)

After, we understand the Importance of the Blessed month of Ramadan and what success it can lead to, we need to put all our energies in carrying out fasting in the finest way possible. Since fasting is worship, we must do it solely for Gracious Almighty’s sake, and remember other intentions are not accepted, further than pleasing Gracious Almighty and seeking His forgiveness with sincerity. Deprived of a true intention, no deed is of any worth in the Hereafter.

Conclusions:

Welcome the, Glorious month of holy Ramadan by making the best use of time, as we all know time is very precious, because every minute that passes can never return. Ramadan-ul-Mubarak is a means of success or failure, recovery or devastation…

Empty your Stomach to feed your Soul in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak!

Many, many years ago, a man was chosen by Gracious Almighty, to title the crown of ultimate prophecy, of peace and became author of a novel religion. He was known as Muhammad, the beloved prophet of Gracious Almighty, who gave birth to Islam and was gifted with the blessed knowledge of Quran in the holy month, well-known today as Ramadan-ul-Mubarak.

Fragrant Ramadan-ul-Mubarak is the 9th blessed month of the Islamic lunar calendar, which is an important month in the diary and also culture. Fasting in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak is compulsory (Farad) upon every healthy, mature, strong Muslim not traveling. As far as Muslim females are concerned, to fast they must not be menstruating or having post-childbirth bleeding, for they are ordered to make up the days later which they have missed.

The key objective of not drinking and eating is to attain beneficial virtues and to become conscious of our Originator, growing awareness towards His Majesty, praising and worshiping His titles and features, evoking His sacred signs as the Gracious Almighty praises in the holy Quran.

“And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me – indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.” (1)

Throughout Ramadan while Muslims abstain from nutrients during day hours, they get together over foodstuff with friends and families in the evenings at (Aftar) timings. Refraining from nutrients has great value on the Muslims, fasting physically as well as spiritually. It is an exercise for self-restraint and control of the immoral self. Through fasting one absorbs how to detain one’s desires and releases person from the burden of wants and wishes. Refraining from nutrients also prompts us of the less privileged ones, the deprived and the penniless. It also lifts the spirits of the deprived by knowing that even Crowned heads have to starve for a while and on the other hand abstaining makes the rich understand and realize what the deprived go through time to time. Fasting moreover cleanses one’s soul and heart and is counseled to control and learn how to withhold from useless dialog, double-dealing and cheating. Even though fasting is supportive to health, it is primarily a way of self-ablution and self-control. By disconnecting oneself from knowing comforts, a fasting individual’s heart on the purpose of life becomes aware of the presence of Gracious Almighty (God).

When the blessed month of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak knocks at our doors, cheers and delight yields among the Muslim Ummah because fragrant Ramadan-ul-Mubarak carries two of the most paramount gifts of Gracious Almighty, firstly the month of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak itself and secondly the celebration of the revelation of the Holy Quran. Ramadan-ul-Mubarak is not simply the month of abstaining but also the month in which the Holy Quran was revealed, as a guideline for mankind with clear “Signs” for guidance and the distinction amid right and wrong.

Many wonders occurred in this wondrous month, the complete Quran was reveled down from Lawhay- Mahfooz in approximately 23 years; there is also that marvelous night “Layla-tul-Qadar” which is proclaimed superior than 1000 months. In this glorious month, the virtues of good deed are equivalent to the obligatory (fard) of a different month and with patience the reward of this tolerance is “Heaven” Jannah. Ramadan-ul-Mubarak teaches the message of compassion towards others and the daily bread of Muslims is improved. The month of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak is divided in phases, the 1st ten days reveal mercy of Gracious Almighty, 2nd ten days reveal forgiveness of Gracious Almighty and the 3rd and last ten days reveal safety from hell fire.

Ramadan-ul-Mubarak helps in renewing our promise and reforming our relationship with our Almighty Creator. The holy month is a spring-tide season for decedents and virtues when righteousness flourishes thru the Muslim societies. This month stretches every Muslim an opportunity to brace his faith “Iman”, refine his soul and get rid of the sinful effects of the evil committed by him.

Dear Islamic brothers and sisters practicing Muslims assemble at mosques offering the nightly prayers consisting of 20 Rakaats called “Taraweeh” these prayers begin about 1 ½ hour after sunsets “Esha” prayers. Each night the Imam “leader in prayer” narrates an equal percentage of the Quran so that by the 27th night of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak the complete Quran can be narrated by the Imam “leader in prayer” from his remembrance.

As the departure of our noble guest Ramadan-ul-Mubarak approaches, Muslim Ummah prepare for Eid ul-fitar, which brings Ramadan-ul-Mubarak on your doorstep. Eid day is a time of celebration, giving gifts, sharing foodstuff, gatherings with family members and winning a holiday.

THE WISDOM BEHIND FASTING

There are many reasons and wisdoms behind every single action in Islam, prayer “Salah” for example, is an everyday drill for cleansing the devotee and retelling them that they are associated in a community of Muslim believers. Whereas abstaining, is an annual drill inclosing all possible features for human excellence? It is an exercise for the body and soul, a rebirth of life, cheering the spirit of sacrificing and sharing.

The following are some of the general benefits:

Self-Restraint (Taqwaah): Fasting inspires taqwaah or awareness of Gracious Almighty, by controlling two parts of the body, which are the basis reasons of human disgrace, the stomach and the private parts of the body.

Heath Benefits: Abstaining also supports to right the problem of fatness and diabetes and other illnesses originated from upset stomach.

Patience: Fasting helps in taming the heart, the soul, and the body on the qualities of patience, firmness and control in harsh conditions.

Social Benefits: Generally, fasting is an expression of unity with deprived families and the entire Muslim community. This is the time when rich face the experience of starving and feel the pain, which deprived feel in normal living conditions.

Family Ties: Ramadan-ul-Mubarak helps Muslim families to gather and eat together at Iftaar and Sahree two times a day for the whole month. Fasting improves and strengthens relationship, as Ramadan is celebrated as the month of invitations, as family members and neighbors extend visits to have Iftaar together.

Besides Fasting, the Muslims Ummah should emphasis on offering maximum prayers, so that more and more reward can be attained in this Blessed month. Hence, prayers need to be offered along with abstaining during Ramadan-ul-Mubarak as this is the only mean to seek forgiveness from Gracious Almighty and attain your desired objectives.

Nawafill: Nawafill is the 3rd type of prayer Muslims can specially perform in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak; these are called additional prayers which Muslims can offer separately at any time of the day. Performing Nawafill prayers in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak are equivalent in virtuous to Obligatory prayers.

Supplication in Ramadan: A unique act of worship legislated upon us by Gracious Allah is supplication (Du’a), which should be made on consistent basis through the year but supplications made in the blessed month of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, hold a greater importance than the rest of the year. Muslims appeal Gracious Almighty for His mercy and forgiveness and supplicate excessively. A direct link between du’a and fasting in Ramadan according to Hadith;

“The supplications of three persons are never turned away: a just ruler, a fasting person until he breaks his fast, and the supplication of an oppressed person which is raised by Allah to the clouds on the Day of Resurrection, and the gates of heaven are opened for it and Allah says: By my might, I will help you even if it is after a while” (2)

Conclusion:

Muslim Ummah in Ramadan can gain maximum sacred signs and forgiveness from Gracious Almighty Allah and seek compassion for whatever sins they have committed. Hence, prayers and supplications need to be safeguarded throughout the month, as these are the two aspects that can help a Muslim achieve the desired goals.

Most Important Facts about Islam you need to know

Respectively a soul is born in a situation having no powers to change the future. The faith of his family or the creed of his nation is forced upon him from the very first day of his life in this particular realm. By the time he touches his young adulthood, he is largely brain-washed into considering that the views of his certain tribe about religion are true and that the entire world should follow the same religion. On the other hand, when societies are exposed to new religions which they have not come across, they begin to demand the authority of their own. The explorers of true belief again and again touch a point of misperception upon recognizing that each and every faith, division, and creed titles to be the one and individual right way for men and women. Actually, they inspire people to do well. Hence, which one amongst them is true? That is an important question and they all can’t be true at a time, as each of them title others to be wide of the mark.  Then how is it possible for the explorer of truth to pick the correct path? Dear friends I will try to answer that and many other questions as we explore the facts and how important role it can play in our life.

Generally in this realm, we devote many years to obtain a credential that entitles us for a decent job.  So doesn’t our perpetual life ask for that we devote a small number of weeks or days of analysis and bone up to pick the right religion which is okay adjacent to God and which will top us to everlasting PLEASURE?

At this moment arises the big (?) Name the true religious conviction? God passed us brains and understandings, which enables us to sort this vital assessment. If considered this is the most vital assessment of life-spam upon which relies her/his future. As a result, we must scrutinize calmly the signs exposed and pick what seems to be true waiting for additional signs to arise. Let’s do this in a systematic mode and go through each and every aspect individually:

 

1-Primarily to save time, ignore all those religions that don’t entitle to be from God and also religions not common because normally the fact of a true religion is so obvious that scores of people would follow it.

 

2-If the steps mentioned above are followed we have very few religions left to follow.Now strides in the purpose to do the investigation through various books about the evidences, influences, theories, and rehearses of those faiths.

 

3-Throughout this retro, plead desperately and honestly to God to guide and enlighten your heart with the true religious conviction and to monitor you in following and treasuring it. At times we discern the right path but don’t have enough courage and backbone to move forward with it.

 

4-Once this homework is completed, typically one of these religious convictions will step out and you will discover one of them to be more logical, true and in harmony with your heart, mind and soul.

So my friends I have detailed the values that should be considered and also tried to highlight the ways which can be applicable in grasping the appropriate chance helpful in following a specific and true religion. Now let’s move forward to look into the practices and the benefits that can be obtained while practicing Islam.

 

• Prayers (Salah)

 

In Islam Muslims perform Salah (prayers) five times a day and each prayer overwhelms hardly more than a few minutes to execute. Salah (prayer) practiced in Islam is an uninterrupted link created amid the believer and the creator (God). There are no couriers or obstacles amid the creator (God) and the creation (disciple), therefore we feel the innermost pleasure and harmony by the grace of God and so He is pleased because we effort to fulfill the only reason mankind is created for.

 

• Benefits of Salah (Prayers)

 

Salah (prayers) affects our minds’, helping us relax and so reduces the effects of constant worry on different parts of the body. We have identified that it not only helps in reducing mental stress but it also supports in beating physical strain and balances our emotional response to it. Adjoining is a great link amid Yoga and Salah (prayers).Yoga exercise restores the system of the body and mind. It helps to stable harmony between different aspects of lifestyle such as social, physical, spiritual, emotional and mental. Basic theory of Yoga is to treasure and esteem the natural life with immense pleasure. The same status quo is with Salah (prayers) and it is very efficiently replacing Yoga for a tension and disease free persona.

 

• Fasting in Ramadan

 

Each year in the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims abstain themselves from eating, drinking and sexual contact from dawn until sunset. Even though fasting is beneficial for health; it is heavenly considered above all as a way of spiritual self-purification. If we cut off ourselves from worldly relaxations, even for a short spell we will surely gain true sympathy mainly for those who starve and along with that grow higher in spiritual life.

 

• Benefits of Fasting:

 

A research directed in the late 1997’s in Accounts of Food Digestion proved that fasting decreases bad (LDL) fat intensities by 8% and triglyceride by 30%.It also provide that good (HDL) intensities can be increased by 14 ½ % guarding your heart from cardiac diseases.

Dear friends there are many other benefits such as;

1-Abstaining (fasting) Benefits in beautifying the skin and prevents from bad skin.

2-Abstaining (fasting) Advances your Immune system.

3-Abstaining (fasting) expands your Acumens system.

4-Abstaining (fasting) Rewards in losing weight & supports for prolonged existence.

 

• Zakat (helping the needy):

 

Finally possessions rightfully belong to our creator (God) and we are its custodians, so treasures of the world are hence kept by humans in trust. Meaning of the term Zakat is mutually ablution and development. Donating Zakat means “contributing a defined ratio according to the laws of sharia on sure possessions to sure classes of deprived individuals. Zakat mainly helps those people who are needy and lack from the basic requirements to prosper a balanced life. Our assets are sanctified by donating a minor share to individuals in need and an individual may donate as much as he/she gratifies as charitable alms or donations.

 

• Terrorism:

 

In dainty of these and many other Islamic transcripts, the action of provoking fear in the souls of vulnerable private citizen, the indiscriminate damage to structures and belongings, the bombarding and injuring of acquitted women, men and kids are completely outlawed and hateful actions rendering to Islam and the Muslim-Ummah. Muslims shadow a religious conviction of harmony, compassion and tolerance with the huge mainstream have zero to do with the passionate events which have been linked with Muslims. An individual act of terrorism committed by a person does not high spot the teachings of his religion he would be considered guilty of breaking the worldly laws and the law of the shadowed religion.

In the holy Quran, God has stated: Islam is a religion of mercy and does not permit terrorism. My dear friends what else is left to be said, when the creator of the world is not accepting violence then people disobeying him are un-doubtfully sinners and this statement which cannot be denied by people following any religion.

God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes.  God loves just dealers.  (Quran, 60:8)

 

• Human Rights and Justice in Islam:

 

Solitary of the key problems faced by mankind nowadays is intolerance. The technologically advanced realm can propel a guy to the moon but cannot stop a guy from disliking and fighting with his companions. Eternally in the holy days of the noble Prophet (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ) Islam delivered a brilliant pattern of how intolerance can be terminated.  The yearly tour to Makkah spectacles the real coming together of all races and populations, in which about 2.5 million people from across the world visit Makkah to carry out the pilgrimage.

Islam armors the existence and possessions of all residents with honor, whether he is a Muslim or not.  Dear friend’s terrorism is much too far because in Islam, abusing people or ill-treating them is not permitted. Within the Islamic realm, one would hardly find senior citizen house. The anxiety of loving parent’s in the utmost testing spell of their lifespan and it is measured an integrity and a blessing for an unusual spiritual development. It is not sufficient that we pray for our parents but in profit remember when we were kids they preferred us upon themselves and we should act with unlimited sympathy.  In Muslim societies mothers are in specific privileged the most and when parent’s touch old-age they are handled with merci & kindness. Serving parents is a duty 2^nd to Salah (prayers) and it is considered awful expressing irritation towards them although it is their fault. So this is Islam my friends and never well the five figures be the same as much as we attempt.

SERVICES OF ISLAM AND ISLAMIC SCHOLARS FOR THE EVOLUTION OF MANKIND

The major optimistic influence of Islam in the world can be witnessed in the praise of Muslims in the quest of facts, as the noble Prophet Muhammad (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ) has stated; “The finest type of worship is to search of knowledge”.

The past expresses that, the upsurge of Muslims far ahead transformed the growth of the world to the peak of progress in a time of four decades and was established on Islam’s importance on knowledge. This rendering to scholars is clear when one takes a glimpse at the holy Quran (Koran) and the Sunnah of the noble Prophet Muhammad (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ) which is definitely full with references to knowledge, education, reflection and the use of goal line.

Are those who have knowledge and those who have no knowledge alike? Only the men of understanding are aware (Qur’an 39:9).

A majority of Muslims shadow the holy Quran (Koran) and the role model of the noble Prophet Muhammad (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ). The Sunnis specially offer more respect & tribute to the holy Quran (Koran) and the sacred books enclosing the hadith, specimens of the noble & kind Prophet Muhammad (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ) but all the premature scholars and the 4 caliphs operated together, the Sunnis accepted all the first 4 caliphs, as they were chosen by the Muslim society. They also accepted all the premature imams (scholars) for their knowledge.
Muslim Scholars are heirs of the noble Prophet (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ) and the guardians of Islam. They are known to be those who do not stray from the path of truth, correcting unaware analyses and lairs.
In a Hadith from Abu Da’ud al-Tarmidi it is stated that:
The noble Prophet (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ) stated “Prophets did not inherit money, but knowledge, so he is lucky who shadows the similar path”.
Islamic scholars played a vital role in the development of modern world, focusing on social, political, cultural, artistic and financial attainments between 1300 -1900 and the improvement of Islamic community. Islamic scholars shaded public awareness and established sermons for Western societies.
Modern Islamic scholars presented intellectual work in order to reject Western societies, innovation and actual reorganizers. Islam emphasized a structure of law centered on the holy Quran (Koran). This very structure was built to support people in relating the holy Quran (Koran) to daily life and circumstances. The order of laws, entitled the Sharia, controlled all features of life containing, good conduct, domestic life, commercial dealings, and administration. Islamic scholars also played a very spirited role in the restoration of Muslim Ummah and exposed the factual colors of Islam. Today Islamic scholars are trying to develop the image of Muslims-Ummah globally by writing books and contents in order to support moderate appearance of Islam. It is compulsory for every Muslim to respect Islamic scholars as they are now the only way to transfer the education of Islam, after the holy Prophet (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ). It is not permitted to speak harsh or bad about them.
Some essential accomplishments that derived from Islam were medications, the paper mill, and an integrated language. The noble Prophet (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ) stimulated medicine and science developments and stated: “For each and every disease, Almighty Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) has specified a treatment”. Throughout the Golden-Age era, the launch of a paper mill was made in Baghdad. Paper was first conceived in China. Soon paper substituted for skin of animals and some for plants usually obtained from ancient Egypt. This made developments in education and specially for making books:
Islamic Scholars could connect with each other and ideas were transformed. Text could be recited and debated by specialists from all over the Islamic world which was significant to Muslim-Ummah because of their faith. They desired to identify the start of the holy months, the time of (Salah) prayer and the course of (Kiblah) Kabba in Mecca. They would perceive the location of the moon and sun, so that they would distinguish the course of (Kiblah) Kabba in Mecca. Farming developments are also fragment of the accomplishments of Islam. Various new plants were familiarized into all measures of Islam from India, Africa, and China. Muslim-Ummah progressed in implanting, which is slicing off a division from a plant and joining it onto a different plant. Also enrichers that are recycled to make grounds extra fertile and support to propagate came from Muslims.
Many other significant accomplishments like technology, algebra, sociology, astronomy, sciences, agriculture, philosophy, arts, navigation, economics, literature, industry and law. By education, Muslims developed into founders of the greatest major accomplishments in the whole world, which far ahead principled the western and specially the world civilization in poetry, medicine, geometry, technology, mathematics, chemistry, urbanization, physics, art and ethical values.

It also is recognized that, the Islamic kingdom ruled the hearts for more than 1000 years and endured with the title of the utmost progressive civilization ever to exist in the world. The key detail for this conferring to history was that, Islam highlighted the significance and esteem for education, prohibited damage and cultured respect for specialist, restraint and lenience for those following other religions. The education of Islam encouraged Muslim-Ummah to their activities in science and other countless accomplishments which have today transformed into the vital cause of world civilization. The civil rights of woman and children in the community, responsibility of parents towards their children, duties of husband and wife, and the character of government towards citizens are all highlighted and sheltered by Islam when there was nothing on the planet.

In assessment to this, I am very proud and obliged to state that the accomplishments, effects and involvement of Islam in global civilization are the supreme in the world. What is anticipated of us as Muslims is that, we endure to oblige as encouraging representatives to the world, by donating to make the world healthier for all and conquer harmony. It is safe to determine this opinion that, the vehicles we ride, the aircrafts we fly, the medicines we consume, the PCs we use, the timepieces, art and tools were all made promising by the only support of Islam. So please readers of the new era don’t assume Islam as an extremist religion, there are many services Islam has offered without any compensation and it is due time to compensate it, by following the laws it has introduced which are in the interest of the whole mankind not just Muslim-Ummah. Mark the verses beneficial not just for Muslim-Ummah!
