Poster: 7 Tips for understanding the Quran !

It is logical that one wanting to learn about a faith  would start by reading its most holy text.  For some, however, the Quran can be difficult to sit down  and read from cover to cover.  The revelation was given over a period of decades, and each  verse has a particular scriptural and  historical context. The themes of the Quran are interwoven  among the chapters,...

Poster:Wasting time is worse than death

 wasting time cuts you off from Allah and the Hereafter, while death only cuts you off from this world and its inhabitants. If the human being dies while he is a God-fearing believer, he is only cut off from this dunya and its inhabitants, and resides with those of the highest levels, leaving these people behind, and this is in no way considered a loss. Rather, it is the supreme success, and every person will die and depart. However,...

The Challenge of the Quran

The Quran is not only unique in the way in which it presents its subject matter, but it is also unique in that it is a miracle itself.  By the term “miracle,” we mean the performance of a supernatural or extraordinary event which cannot be duplicated by humans.  It has been documented that Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, challenged the Arabs to produce a literary work of a similar caliber as the Quran,...

The miracle is here

One thing which surprises non-Muslims who are examining the book very closely is that the Quran does not appear to them to be what they expected.  What they assume is that they have an old book which came fourteen centuries ago from the Arabian desert;  and they expect that the book should look something like that - an old book from the desert.  And then they find out that it does not resemble what they expected at all. ...

3- Human Nature

Throughout the history of the world, the majority of people have believed in God.  There seems to be something built in the human mind that makes us want to believe. Over the last decade some really startling facts have been found that show that children have an innate belief in God.  Dr Justin Barrett, a senior researcher at the University of Oxford Centre for Anthropology and Mind, states “The preponderance of scientific evidence...

"2- Beginning of the Universe"

If something has always existed it doesn’t need a creator.  In the first part of the 20th century some physicists held the view that the universe had always existed.  If the universe had always existed it wouldn’t need a creator. However, according to Cosmology the universe had a beginning some 14 billion years ago with a cosmic event commonly known as the ‘Big Bang’[2]. Imagine you heard a loud bang, and you asked ‘where...

Reasons for one God "1- The Universe"

  When we reflect upon the nature of our world, we see order everywhere from the water cycle to the movement of the earth around the sun.  Commenting on the order found in the universe, the physicist Stephen Hawking explains that the overwhelming impression ‘‘is one of order, the more we discover about the universe, the more we find that it is governed by rational laws.’’[1]  This observation is shared by the vast majority of scientists. Since...

Can there be more than one such creator?

The Quran tells us that this is impossible: “God never had a child, nor have there been any gods beside him.  [Had there been any], each of them would have appropriated to himself what he created, and some would have overcome others…” (Quran 23:91) This Quranic argument was paraphrased by some Muslims theologians in a way somewhat like the following: The assumption that there are gods beside the one true God leads to false consequences...

The nature of matter

 This conclusion can be further confirmed by what modern science tells us about the nature of matter. Why should He be the God of Islam? Some might say, ‘Granted that this god is a personal and living God, and that He has the attributes which you mentioned, why should He be the God of Islam and not, say the Christian or Jewish God?’  The God of Islam is the God of all true prophets of God from Adam down to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. ...

The Creator?

At first:Can It Be Matter? A very popular question among atheists is, ‘Granted that the existence of temporal things necessitates the existence of an eternal cause, why should that cause be the God of religion?  Why can’t matter be eternal and be therefore in no need of an eternal creator?’   I shall argue, on an Islamic basis but at the same time also on a rational basis, that the attribute of eternity entails other attributes,...

What is a Miracle in islam?

God sent the Prophets and Messengers primarily to guide humankind.  They were humans, of outstanding character, pious and trustworthy, that the people could emulate and look to for direction.  They were not gods, demi-gods or saints with divine qualities, rather they were mere mortals charged with a difficult task.  They possessed exceptional characteristics because they were obligated to face extraordinary trials and tribulations...
