Alternatively, there is meaning of such magnitude.. More -

Every nation was sent a messenger
It is an Islamic beliefthat every nation was sent a Messenger for their guidance. The important matter was the concept of Tawheed, or belief in the Oneness of Allah). The secondary matter was Sharee'ah, or religious Law, which kept changing from tribe to tribe and nation to another. Allah the Most High alone knows what is good for His creation. As.. More -
The purpose of creation – II
The meaning of worship To understand why human beings need to worship God, one must first understand what is meant by the term 'worship.'

Prophethood: the root of the west-Islam contention
An economist had once said: "Today, the only and the biggest threat to Western civilization is the faith and commitment of the Muslims to their Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam which is the source of unlimited strength for them." Let us now briefly examine how. 1. The theoretical basis of Western civilization and the so-called.. More -

It is the same unifying Message revealed to all the Prophets and Messengers by Allah, and which they spread amongst their respective nations. It was revealed in its final form to Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,.. More -
Islam's concept of monotheism
To an English-speaking audience, Islam is often advertised as a 'monotheistic religion in the tradition of Judaism and Christianity,' and we often, with the best of intentions, add: "The difference is, we only believe in One God." I am afraid, however, that this fails to capture the essence of Tawheed, Islam's concept of monotheism. It.. More -
Slavery and freedom
The only option for man is to choose between two slaveries: slavery of his Creator, or slavery of all else. The prevalent Western thought today is essentially atheistic in nature, for it traces its origins to a reaction against the Church authority in medieval Europe, which subsequently became a reaction against religion in general. The.. More -
