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...

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...

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 ...
