Societal Progress Is Nurtured upon Islamic Devotion

The established fundamental principles of Islām clarify, both intellectually and legislatively, the inherent falsehood in the claim made by certain Christian fanatics and those employed by them, that the religion of Islām represents an obstruction to progress and societal prosperity. This horrid, contemptible claim represents unadulterated arrogance. For the foundations of true societal progress is an impossibility, and shall remain unattainable, except if that progress is built upon the rules and principles of this religion (i.e. Islām). As it is undeniable that the rules and fundamentals …

The Greatest of all Testifications and the Elevated Standing of the Scholars

Allāh the Most High said: شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ ۚ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ “Allāh bears witness that Lā ilāha illā Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always) maintaining His creation in Justice.

By grasping it, we mean the joint itself. This is the manner of praying that has been narrated in the Sunnah.1 It was also narrated in the Sunnah tha…

Answering Christian Doubts: Muslims and Christians Can Agree on the Glorification of Jesus

The Christians say: The noble Qurʾān has glorified ʿĪsá (عليه السلام) and his mother Maryam (عليها السلام). This represents our view and creed as well. Therefore, our religions are in agreement. So, the Muslims should not object to our beliefs. This is answered with the following points: Veneration of both of them is not the subject of debate between us, and Christians are not disbelievers merely because of it. Rather, the disbelief of the Christians is related to their ascribing matters to them that are unbefitting of the exaltation and majesty of lordship and unrepresentative of the …
