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.

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 ...

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...

A brief history of gods

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم و قالوا لا تذرون آلهتكم و لا تذرون ودا و لا سواء لا يغوث و يعوق و نسرا... And they said 'Never leave your gods, and never leave Wadd , nor Suwa' nor Yaghooth or Ya'ooq or Nasr '... (Al-Qur'an 71: 23) Shortly after the dawn of humanity, people were already affirming their love and allegiance to their gods, when Nooh (1) عليه السلام came to them asking to shun these gods. They enumerated their gods as an act of defiance - Wadd, Suwa', Yaghooth, Ya'ooq and Nasr . 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 ...
