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.

Religions - Man Made or Divine?

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم One often hears these remarks about religions, that they are all products of human imagination or fear. Quite contrary to this, is the fact that, most people do not like to be "tied down" by religious rules. If one were to look closely into these religions, especially their scriptures, one would notice underlying similarities in them. Most noticeable is the existence of a Creator and that people will be held accountable, in life after death, for their actions and will be rewarded or punished accordingly. The concept of praying to God is so central to all religions, that it is implausible that people around the world - geographically and linguistically separated - came up with ideas so similar. It is not uncommon to find phrases and concepts which are strikingly similar between different religions. Also very common is presence of key figures, who are central to these religions and are role models for their followers. An interesting ritual, which ha...

Marvelous Cells, Arrogant Evolutionists

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Drowned in evolution stories, questions around most fundamental building blocks of life - namely Cells - are forgotten or conveniently ignored . How did the first single-celled organism originate on earth, still remains a mystery. When single-celled organisms were first discovered, it was proposed, that they were very simple collection of carbon, fluids and membrane, which could have formed by chance. It is only after immense advancement in technology, which allowed us to look deeper, that we have begun to appreciate the complexity of single celled organisms. It is now established, that the key components of a cell like DNA, RNA and Proteins, cannot form by chance or random events and that the probability of that happening is zero. DNA is made of specific proteins, intertwined and ordered in certain format to contain encoded information about various functions to be performed in the cell. RNA decodes information in DNA and provides instructions to other p...

At least don't lie to your kids!

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Ever heard a kid argue that 'Tooth Fairy' or 'Santa Claus' are real - because their parents said so? This is the pure nature on which Allah has created the humanity- they don't know of lying and deception. They trust their parents and are certain that they will not lie to them. Contrast that to the behavior of parents who assume that it's acceptable to lie to kids because they are kids ! Some even play tricks with them - like replacing tooth with a coin under the pillow while they are asleep  - enforcing false belief in them. How wrong would it be, if someone (other than your kid) trusted you with the same level of trust and you deceived them? Your kids have more right that you be truthful to them. It is important for a Muslim to be truthful, as it is the essence of all goodness. If we are not truthful with even our own kids then how can we be truthful to others? If we deceive when there is little or no gain from it, then how will we...
