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.

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...

Division, Its Trial and The Quest for Truth

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين الرحمن الرحيم، ملك يوم الدين. إياك نعبد و إياك نستعين. اهدنا الصراط المستقيم، صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Âlamîn (all that exists). The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray.   (Al-Qur'an 1:1-7) We have many differences, most of which we ignore, but there are few which are deep enough to cause division. These are things significant to at least one of the differing groups. What color one wears, for example, may not cause division, however if one were to differ over what traffic light colors mean, then sure it will cause division as it ...

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...
