Contemporary Issues-The Islamic Garden

Islam stands strong and firm amidst the misinformation, malpractice and ignorance about it. Success is promised to those who adhere to the Qur'aan and Sunnah, following the guidance and keeping away from prohibitions. All the issues we face in today's complex world are put into their proper context as we keep ourselves under the shade of Allah, the Most Merciful. Issues like cloning, pollution, birth control, women's rights, political issues, terrorism and so on will be explored, Inshaa Allah.

Something to celebrate

Despite all the varieties of oppression that the Muslims have and still do witness, Islam will never die! Why? Because it is the promise of Allah (ta'ala). Here are some examples of the despotic tyranny of the unbelievers and the herioc nature of Muslims.

Throwing Culture to the Wind

The sorry state of Muslims today.

Holocaust - We must never forget!

The human struggle continues generation after generation. Yet, each generation seems to make similar mistakes. Will we ever learn?

The nation of Islam - fact or fraud??

One of the biggest frauds of our time, is being undertaken by a group who call themselves the 'Nation of Islam!' They and their teachings have nothing to do with Islam and it remains a mystery why they insist on being called thus. Their association with Islam can be likened to a person going into a department store and buying a dish washer. Then the salesperson returns with a washing machine. When questioned about this strange response, the salesperson replies, 'But it looks the same! The body is square and it washes, doesn't it!?' The reality is that the inner workings of the machine are different and cannot be used for the same purposes.

Goodness is beauty

What does man actually give back to the world? Do we only take, take, take? Can we find it in ourselves to at least thank the Creator and acknowledge His Mercy and Greatness, or are we too busy enjoying the world and what it contains, to stop and think for a minute where it all came from?

The scum rises to the top-Who deceides who gets cloned?

If cloning is to take place, who, from all the people in the world, will have the opportunity to do so??

Will the real Al Aqsa please stand up!

Al Aqsa mosque is one of the sacred places in Islam. The reward for prayer in this mosque is surpassed only by prayer in Makkah or Madinah. So the very least that we as Muslims should do, is to be able to recognize it. There has been some confusion in recent times about the identity of two mosques in Jerusalem. Which one is Al Aqsa???

Byte your tounge

The words we speak are neither meaningless nor without affect. As we exercise our freedom, by speaking as we please, we consequently affect others and therefore ourselves. This affect can be positive or negative, depending on the intention and the words sent forth.

Truth in a box of matches

Mankind has philosophized human existence to a point, where some are no longer sure that we really exist!? However, there are so many truths surrounding us, that if we just dare, we can insist on reality.
