Imagine a nation where every hospital is free of cost irrespective to your status, caste, gender, religion, nationality. A multi-speciality hospital providing you a clothes, well furnished wards, delicious food, specialized doctors, that too free of cost. Not just this even giving the patient money and food as a compensation for being out of work during his hospital stay. Isn't it mind-blowing?? This is what hospitals were in the Islamic Civilization. In early medieval where Europe belief that illness is supernatural, uncontrollable, incurable. Muslims took completely different approach because of the saying of prophet Muhammadﷺ, “God has sent down the disease and he has appointed cure for every disease, so treat yourself medically”(¹) Mobile Dispensaries The first known Islamic care center was set up in a tent by Rufaydah al-Aslamiyah r.a during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammadﷺ. Famously, during the Ghazwah Khandaq, she treated the wounded in a separ...

"Modesty, sometimes known as demureness, is a mode of dress and deportment that intends to avoid the encouragement of sexual attraction in others. The word modesty comes from the Latin word modestus, which means 'keeping within measure'." In simple words, modesty is the quality of not drawing attention to oneself and being humble. It often refers to how people dress and behave in ways that don't show off or bring excessive attention.   Modesty throughout the world There is a common consensus on human nature that stipulates covering the private parts of the body. This convention cuts across cultures, religions, and societies as it refers to something deeply embedded within man. The instincts are closely related to the concept of innate disposition (fitrah), which refers to the natural instincts guided towards dignity and self-respect by which man lives. In whichever civilization, at whatever time in history, people covered themselves using clothing or coverings, no...

Causality is the principle or relationship between causes and effects. It asserts that every event (effect) has a cause or set of causes that precede it and lead to its occurrence. In essence, causality explains how one event or action leads to the occurrence of another, forming a sequence where the cause directly influences the outcome. For long causality has been used to back various pseudosciences and corrupted ideology. From a secular world-view the existence of the universe itself is a product of cause and effect, while it denies the initial cause or have no answers for what caused the cause to cause. In this article we aim to discuss the only logical explanation of causality with respect to sound intellect and objective laws of reality. Dr. Israr Ahmad on Causality and Its Relationship with Divine Decree Dr. Israr Ahmad ( Rahimahullah ) offers a profound explanation of causality and its connection to Qadr, or Divine Decree, in Islamic theology. He emphasizes that nothing in the ...

Human nature, or fitrah, is inherently designed with two core elements: worship and imitation. These aspects are deeply ingrained in human psychology and significantly influence how we form our identities, make decisions, and ultimately live our lives. Understanding how these elements shape our behaviour is crucial, particularly from an Islamic perspective, which emphasises the role of divine guidance in shaping a morally sound existence. When we think of "idol worship," many might picture people bowing before statues or images of deities in traditional religious practices. However, in today’s modern world, idol worship takes on a much broader and more subtle form. Idol worship is not limited to literal statues or religious icons; it also manifests as the obsessive admiration and emulation of celebrities, athletes, politicians, and other public figures. This modern form of idol worship occurs when individuals elevate certain figures to an almost divine status, admiring their ...

A society which reduces itself to passing judgements on people's clothing & confines itself to a rigid dress code - a violation of which calls for labelling others as irreligious & even evil - is naturally stagnant and, to many, toxic. In a society where people are, almost, always judged and their piety is gauged almost exclusively by their adherence to a particular dress code, indicates that something has gone wrong with the thought process of such a society. The situation would sound even more alarming & strange when we consider that this community currently faces monumental challenges globally, yet chooses to obsess over clothing choices. Any divergence from the norm is condemned as "deviation”. You might wonder about the mental health of such a collective, and you’d be right to ask. What if I told you that this society is none other than the Muslim’s , unfortunately! A community that claims to follow the final revelation/wahi/shruti and sees itself as the custo...

As I was reading Al-Quran, Chapter 83; Surah Al Mutaffiffin. I came across verses where Allah SWT warns to people who cheat and fraud. How they will be treated in life after. In Chapter 83 verse 1-9, Allah SWT says, Woe to the defrauders! Those who take full measure ˹when they buy˺ from people, but give less when they measure or weigh for buyers. Do such people not think that they will be resurrected for a tremendous Day— the Day ˹all˺ people will stand before the Lord of all worlds? But no! The wicked are certainly bound for Sijjîn ˹in the depths of Hell˺— and what will make you realize what Sijjîn is?— a fate ˹already˺ sealed. As we read the above verses, we can clearly understand how Allah SWT doesn't like people who cheat or fraud people, though it be a small business or something more than that. But nowadays people have become very comfortable in cheating, defrauding or in today’s word SCAMMING. Maybe they can do it now and walk away without any consequences or punishment, But...

Why do people claim prophethood? The purpose will be to look at prophethood claimants and try to figure out their motives behind it. We will consider two approaches. In the first approach, we will not doubt their intentions while seeking the purpose behind it. Let's unveil what we are investigating in the first place. Before we go ahead, this paper is written with a firm perspective that prophethood is true and prophets do exist. The purpose of this paper is to not deny prophethood but rather fake claimants of the same. For now, we will assume prophets exist, (we will establish prophethood in another paper) yet people who claim to be prophets are lying. They are claiming to be something they are not. I would like to put more emphasis on this statement. Claiming to be something they are not. What does that do to a person? How common is it? Why would one do it? Psychologically this has existed for the longest time. One of the earliest documented cases was reported by French psychia...
