O Devotee of The Christ!

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم O devotee of The Christ! We have question, (1) seeking answer from one with comprehension. ** أَعُبَّادَ المَسِيحِ لَنَا سُؤَالٌ...نُرِيدُ جَوَابَهُ مِمَّنْ وَعَاهُ When God died, by deeds of a nation... they put him to death! What God is this, then? إذا ماتَ الإِلهُ بِصُنْع قومٍ...أمَاتُوهُ فَما هذَا الإِلهُ؟ Did it please him, with him, what they had done? If they did please him, for them is good news, then! وَهَلْ أرضاه ما نَالُوهُ مِنْهُ؟...فبُشْرَاهمْ إذا نالُوا رِضَاهُ And if they displeased him, with what they had done... their might prevailed over his, then?! وَإِنْ سَخِطَ الذِي فَعَلُوهُ فيه...فَقُوَّتُهُمْ إِذًا أوْهَتْ قُوَاهُ The Listener, The Answer-er of invocation... Without God, did continue the creation? وَهَلْ بَقِيَ الوُجُودُ بِلَا إِلهٍ...سَمِيعٍ يَسْتَجِيبُ لِمَنْ دَعَاهُ؟ Did cease...

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...
