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.

A brief history of gods

By Fahad Iqbal

These were names of noble men who had lived before them, known for piety, loved by people and had following among them. When they died, Satan advised people to make their images and statues to remind themselves of their goodness and to motivate themselves to be like them. As generations passed, purpose of these images and statues was forgotten and the knowledge of what these noble men had preached faded away. At this point, Satan inspired people saying that ...

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 ...
