Insights Of Islam By Sajid

A husband’s love for his wife, and a wife’s sincere devotion to her husband—this is, in truth, one of the most profound secrets to a child’s mental and physical health. At a family seminar, a speaker shared a deeply touching anecdote that left everyone reflecting. He began:@I recently attended a training course with over five hundred participants. During the session, the speaker posed a question: What is the greatest thing a mother can do for her children? The answers varied— Love, faith, sincerity, piety, friendship, open-mindedness, peace, kindness, and other noble virtues. The speaker paused, then replied softly yet powerfully: Your answers are all valuable, but according to my research, the greatest thing a mother can do for her children is to love and respect their father." At first glance, these words may seem simple, but they carry a profound truth. Marital conflicts and tension between parents cast a dark shadow over a child’s heart and mind. These scars are not fleeting—t...

    Let us speak of a life that began on the 4th of May, 1968, in a rural, middle-class household. For months, this life crawled within the courtyard of its home. When the time came to walk, the only school available was one with mats and sacks for desks. Yet, there was one positive aspect: the family in which this life opened its eyes was deeply religious. My grandfather served as an imam and preacher at a local mosque. Every night before bed, he would narrate a story of one of the prophets (peace be upon them). Later, when I grew old enough to read small books, I came across a tale of a Dutch boy’s bravery that left a profound mark on me.   The Dutch boy was walking along a seaside dyke on a winter evening when he noticed a small hole. He reasoned that if he went to the village to alert others, the relentless water would widen the gap, flooding the fields and homes below sea level. So, he pressed his tiny hand against the hole and sat there. Night fell, and he fell...

  A son was returning home after leaving his old father at the old home, on the way his wife called him to make sure that he insisted that the father stay there even during festival holidays and not come home. . The son went back to the old home and saw that his father was talking with the head of the orphanage as if there was a very old and close relationship. After a while, his father went to his room and did not look at his son. Forced by Tejas, the son finally asked the head of the orphanage. "How long have you known my father?" The head of the orphanage replied with a smile. For the past thirty years... When he came to adopt an orphan child from one of our orphanages.

A merchant ship, laden with riches, battled furious winds that threatened to capsize it. As the vessel teetered on the brink of sinking, the traders aboard resolved to lighten its load. They agreed to discard the largest share of cargo, which belonged to a single merchant. Protesting, he cried, “Why only my goods? Let each sacrifice a portion!” But the others, driven by desperation, cast him and his cargo into the raging sea. Miraculously, the waves cradled him like a playful child, sparing his life. When consciousness returned, he found himself washed ashore on a deserted island. Grateful to be alive, he praised the Almighty and gathered driftwood to build a humble shelter. Days passed as he hunted rabbits and survived. One evening, while cooking, a spark leapt onto his hut, engulfing it in flames. He fought the fire in vain, collapsing in despair. “First the sea took my wealth, now flames claim my refuge!” he wept, falling asleep hungry and broken. At dawn, a wondrous sight greeted h...

 Yes, In Islam, it is permissible for women to pray in a mosque that has a separate prayer area designated for them, provided certain conditions are met. Here’s a breakdown of the ruling and its reasoning: 1. Basis in Islamic Tradition ● The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged women to attend congregational prayers in mosques. For example, he said: “Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from attending the mosques of Allah” (Sahih Muslim). ● Historically, women prayed in the mosque behind men or in separate rows, but there was no physical barrier in the early mosques. Over time, practical arrangements (e.g., screens or separate sections) evolved to ensure modesty and minimize distractions while maintaining the integrity of congregational prayer. 2. Scholarly Consensus ● All major schools of Islamic jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali) permit women to pray in mosques with designated areas, as long as: ● The separation does not prevent women from hearing ...

  In Islam, relationships outside of marriage are generally considered haram (forbidden) unless certain conditions are met. Here's a nuanced explanation: Islamic Perspective 1. Zina (fornication/adultery): Islam strictly prohibits intimate relationships outside marriage, considering them a grave sin. الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ ۖ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۖ وَلْيَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَائِفَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ The adulteress and the adulterer—whip each one of them a hundred lashes, and let no pity towards them overcome you regarding Allah’s Law, if you believe in God and the Last Day. And let a group of believers witness their punishment. (Quran 24:2) وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنَا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَاءَ سَبِيلًا And do not come near adultery. It is immoral, and an evil way.(Quran17:32) 2. Taharah (purity): Islam emphasizes maintaining physi...

  The concept of the multiverse — multiple universes existing parallel to one another — is a fascinating idea explored in modern science. While this specific concept is not explicitly mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, several verses allude to the vastness and complexity of Allah’s creation in ways that allow for deep contemplation. Let’s explore some key verses that hint at realms beyond our own. The Qur'anic Mention of "Seven Heavens" One recurring term in the Qur’an is "السماوات" (the heavens), often appearing in the plural form and paired with "الأرض" (the earth). This pairing occurs in several verses, and some scholars interpret it as referring to multiple layers or dimensions of creation. 1. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:29) هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَسَوَّاهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ “He is the One Who created for you everything in the earth, then turned to the heaven, an...

  Allah (God) tests those whom He loves and wants to elevate in rank. In Islam, repeated tests and trials are often seen as a sign of closeness to Allah, not as punishment. Allah’s testing is often directed at those He calls to significant roles (prophets, leaders), His covenant people (like Israel), and believers generally. The purpose is not punishment but spiritual growth, purification, and alignment with divine will. As James 1:12 states, those who endure testing are blessed, having stood the trial of faith. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The most severely tested people are the Prophets, then the next best, then the next best. A person is tested according to his level of religious commitment..." — (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 2398) So, the people Allah tests again and again are usually: The Prophets – because of their great status and responsibilities. The Pious and Righteous – to purify them and raise their ranks. Those with Strong Iman (Fa...

  In Islam, the issue of women cutting their hair is addressed with consideration of modesty, cultural context, and religious principles. Here's a structured summary of the key points: 1. Quran and Hadith: ● The Quran does not explicitly prohibit women from cutting their hair. Modesty (hijab) is emphasized, focusing on covering the hair rather than its length. ● Hadiths highlight avoiding imitation of the opposite gender (e.g., Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) discouraged women from imitating men and vice versa). Thus, hairstyles that mimic men's cuts may be discouraged. 2. Scholarly Views: ● Most scholars permit hair-cutting for practical reasons (e.g., maintenance, health) as long as it aligns with modesty and does not involve imitating non-Muslim or immodest practices. ● Cultural norms may influence opinions, but religious rulings prioritize intention and adherence to Islamic ethics over mere aesthetics. 3. Modesty and 'Awrah: ● A woman's hair is part of her 'awrah (to be...

Yes, I and many people have read the entire Quran, which consists of 114 surahs (chapters). For Muslims, engaging with the Quran is a core spiritual practice, and completing its recitation—especially in Arabic—is often a deeply meaningful experience. Here are some common reflections and insights shared by those who have read it: 1. Spiritual and Emotional Impact ● Strengthened Faith: Many describe a deepened connection to their faith, finding the Quran’s messages about God’s mercy, justice, and guidance profoundly moving. ● Emotional Resonance: Passages on compassion, accountability, and the hereafter often evoke introspection, gratitude, or humility. ● Comfort and Solace: Verses emphasizing patience, trust in God, and the transient nature of worldly struggles provide comfort during difficult times. 2. Thematic Insights ● Unity of Message: Despite varying topics (stories of prophets, laws, ethics), readers note a consistent emphasis on monotheism (tawhid), moral responsibility, and soc...

  Both the Bible and the Quran are regarded by their respective faiths as revelations from God, but their adherents hold distinct views about the nature, preservation, and finality of these texts, which explain the significant differences between them: 1. Concept of Revelation ● Christian Perspective: The Bible is seen as divinely inspired, written by human authors guided by God. It includes the Old Testament (shared with Judaism) and the New Testament, which centers on Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s covenant. Christians view revelation as progressive, culminating in Jesus’ life and teachings. ● Islamic Perspective: The Quran is believed to be the literal, unaltered word of God (Allah), revealed verbatim to Muhammad via the Angel Gabriel. Islam teaches that previous scriptures (e.g., Torah, Psalms, Gospel) were originally divine but were later corrupted or misinterpreted. The Quran is thus the final, perfect revelation, rectifying earlier distortions. 2. Theological Differences ...
