A Poem for Reflection

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 
 

Climb atop highest mountains,

Pierce your sight into the heavens,

Expand your vision to the horizons,

Dive deep into the darkest oceans,

 

Tell me now, do you find the Creator in creation?

Or can you grasp His grandeur with imagination?

 

Will you then worship your hand’s creation?

Or other beings lower in station?

Or pious dead awaiting resurrection?

 

What is wrong that you don’t reason!

Ditch gods created by humans!

To your Creator - alone - show devotion!

 

Follow His messenger sent to all nations,

You will be rewarded with eternal dominion,

In paradise, reclining high in station,

With words of recognition and congratulations,

Rivers, fruits, shades - delights beyond imagination,

In seats of honor near Lord of creation.

Early Muslims between Allah's Ordinance and Societal Pressure

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر قم فأنذر و ربك فكبر O you enveloped (in garments)! Arise and warn! And pronounce the greatness of your Lord. (Al-Qur'an 74:1-3) In the city of Makkah surrounded by inhospitable deserts and dry mountains, unappealing to empires, with water and resources in scarcity and ignorance in abundance, rose a Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) calling to worship of the Creator alone and shunning worship of His creation, warning of a severe punishment prepared for the those who reject Allah and His messengers, and giving glad tidings of immense reward to those who worship Allah alone and submit to Him in obedience. Entrusted with the burden of delivering the message to humanity, wherein lied their success and redemption, Muhammad (ﷺ) exerted with all his wealth, energy and self in conveying the message and desired sincerely for people to accept and follow it. ( 1 ) فلعلك باخع نفسك على آثارهم إن لم يؤمنو بهذا الحديث أسفا Perhaps, you, would kill yourse...

I know how it all happened... it Evolved!

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم How did the first single celled organisms appeared on earth? It evolved somehow. How did multi cellular organisms came to be? It evolved from single celled organisms. How did various plants, trees, animals of sea and land originate? They evolved of course. How did birds originate? They evolved from dinosaurs. How did humans originate? They evolved from apes. So what does evolution mean? It means slow change in organism(s) based on environmental conditions it is subjected to, such that the organism is able to better adapt to the conditions. How does evolution work? What drives it? What is the mechanism behind it? It is unknown and studies surrounding it are not able to come to decisive conclusion. Has evolution been observed in reality? Of course not! The process takes place in very small incremental changes which accumulate over millions of years; thus there is no direct observation of evolution actually taking place. But if this is true then we ...

What are these statues that you worship?

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم " What are these statues to which you are devoted? " Ibraheem asked his people. They replied, " We found our fathers worshiping them ". He said, “ Indeed, you and your forefathers have been clearly astray .” He asked his father, who crafted idols  - " why do you worship that which does not hear, nor sees, nor does benefit in anything?! " He continued, " Do you desire made-up gods instead of Allah? What then is your thought about Lord of all worlds? In fact, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them both. And to that I bear witnes s". In the temple, Ibraheem saw the idols that his people worshiped, with foods in front of them as offerings. He addressed them saying " Will you not eat?! Why is it that you don't speak?! " Then he smashed all the idols except biggest of them and left. Horrified to see their idols lying in ruins, people guessed that Ibraheem was behind this and...
