MY MIND WONDER AT THIS

Why the universe with all its galaxies, the animal
and plant kingdoms are so very meticulous and wellordered?
It is because The Creator of this
universe is capable of such perfection and
wanted to make them signs for us to ponder
on.
Why the formation & the sequential development
of the human embryo into a normal fetus is an
amazing and mind boggling process?
It is because, The Creator found all that
too easy & wanted to show us our nothingness
and helplessness.
Why the human being has been endowed with
multitudes of faculties, hand in hand with
weaknesses?
It is because The Creator has planned
to put the human being to a test, through both
these - his faculties as well as weaknesses.
Why human life in this world is mixed with some
happiness and a lot of imperfections and sorrow in
the form of physical & mental agony, natural
disasters or crippling diseases?
It is because The Creator wanted us to
think about why we humans have been created
at all and that we strive and grow to our
potential in this world and achieve the fruits
of our deeds in the Hereafter.
Why there are so many different religions in today’s
world and what is Islam’s place among them?
It is because man kept tampering with
God’s revealed words, thereby perverting His
message from time to time, producing salient
differences in the religion. In fact God’s
revelation is a single continuation, from the
first Prophet to the last, with the revelation
finding its completion and perfection in the
Holy Qur’an.
Why the human conscience pricks when the
individual performs a sin?
It is because The Creator made the
human conscience a foreteller of the life
hereafter, wherein every soul will be put to
question for each of its deeds, words and
thoughts and aptly rewarded or punished.
Have you ever thought what could be the greatest
sin?
The greatest sin as mentioned in the last
revelation is
‘‘Join not in worship others with
Allah. For joining others in worship with
Allah is indeed the highest wrong doing.’’
(Holy Qur’an—31:13)
Why do Muslims hold the Holy Qur’an in great
reverence?
It is because the Holy Qur’an is the last
of God’s revelations, the only one
unadulterated, remaining so forever and
providing the unambiguous distinction
between right & wrong.
Why is Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) so dear to
Muslims?
It is because, it was through this last
Prophet of God Almighty, that the Holy
Qur’an was revealed in stages and Islam was
actually put into day to day practice.
What essentially is the message of Islam to
mankind?
Allah says “It is not righteousness that ye turn
your faces towards East or West; But it is
righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last
Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the
Messengers; To spend of your substance, out of
love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the
needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and
for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in
prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill
the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm
and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity,
and through all periods of panic. Such are the
people of truth, the God -fearing.” (Holy Qur’an
-2:177)
Why is Islam the fastest growing religion in today’s
world?
It is mainly because of the sheer beauty
& wisdom in its principles of unity of God,
equality of mankind, morality, accountability
for deeds and perfect justice in the Hereafter.
Because of the infallible proof of Divinity of
the Holy Qur’an.
What is this ‘infallible proof’?
It is as follows:
I. ‘The Qur’an’ itself - repeatedly claims that
it is from God Almighty (Holy quran-32:2,
36:5, 26:192)
II. The concepts of God (Holy Qur’an- 112),
Judgment, Fate, Evil etc as explained by
Islam are psychologically irresistible & at
the same time most suited to the human
mind.
III. Islamic moral laws with regard to the
individual, familial, social and political
issues of human life are humanitarian,
practicable and well balanced.
IV. The tablet of the Qur’an is unadulterated
and will remain so forever. (Holy Quran-
15:9)
V. The Qur’an has numerous challenges &
falsification tests (Holy Qur’an 62:6, 7)
for those who wish to question its divine
origin. One of the most relevant among
those in today’s world is to bring out a
single contradiction in it (Holy Qur’an
4:82). Using the parameters of our world;
its references & comments on science,
history, literature, economics or law or
anything else for that matter can be
critically analyzed for this. (Holy Qur’an-
69:38-43)
Have you ever WONDER............................

REPLY TO DEAR FRND WHO ASKED ME TO BELIEVE JESUS IS GOD

Dear .......................


I read ur mails.thank u 4 sending it.
Its true that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of the God
i believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe.i believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).
i believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission.
i believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission.

BUT

I cant believe that he is god when he himself says that he performs everything at GOD’s will
If u read bible u’l und that he has never claimed divinity
(i) "My Father is greater than I." [The Bible, John 14:28]
(ii) "My Father is greater than all." [The Bible, John 10:29]
(iii) "…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…." [The Bible, Mathew 12:28]
(iv) "…I with the finger of God cast out devils…." [The Bible, Luke 11:20]
(v) "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." [The Bible, John 5:30]


Plz do check the bible for what he taught in gospel of MARK CHAPTER 12 VERSE 29
"Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord." [The Bible, Mark 12:29]
Its clear that jesus taught us about 1 GOD and not a single verse 2 lead us 2 trinity

If u believe jesus is god coz bible refers him as “son of god” (as u mentioned in ur mail),then plz check 2 the bible n u’l find lotz of people being referred 2 as “son of god”
It is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 3 verse 38
"…Adam, which was the son of God."
Genesis, Chapter 6 verse 2
"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair…."
. Exodus, Chapter 4 verse 22
"…Israel is my son, even my firstborn".
Jeremiah, Chapter 31 verse 9
"…For I (God) am a Father to Israel, and E’-phra-im is my firstborn."
Psalms, Chapter 2 verse 7
"…the LORD hath said unto me, ‘Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee.’"
Romans, Chapter 8 verse 14
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
According to the Bible every righteous person who follows the Commandments of God is referred to as son of God.

Plz don’t feel bad at my criticisms.
Be frank 2 criticiz n reply 2 this mail
I AM WITH WHAT JESUS PREACHED AND NOT WHAT THE CHURCH PREACH

YOUR LOVING FRND

DOES TASLIMA KNW WHAT A GIRL WNT?

I happened to see an article tittled '' women the only victim'' written by Taslima Nasreen in the 92nd page of the december edition of the magazine '' THE WEEK ''.Truly speeking , the article was utter absurdity .There is no wonder that a person possess misconsepts about islam, but I was astonished at the irresponsibility of the editor of the magazine in publishing such an article in which the author herself is ignorant of the subject .Islamic religion is based on the glorious Qur'an and the Sahih Hadith. So inorder to point out this is islam, one has to provide proof either from the Qur'an or from the Sahih Hadith.

In the 2nd stanza of the article, the author says women's desires hold no value in islam. Let me draw your attention to [surah Nisa ,chapter 4 verse 19] the Qur'an, it says, ''o ye who believe you are forbidden to marry women against their will''.Aaccording to Sahih Bukhari vol 7 chapter 43 hadith 69,a marriage is considered invalid if a man marries a woman against her will .This proves the above declaration of the author to be wrong.

In the 3rd stanza of the article, the author says '' according to islamic law, there is no punishment for a rapist father- in-law '' how can this statement be true when islamic shariah prescribes capital punishment for a convicted rapist. The Qur'an in surah Nur [24:31] prescribes hijab for both men & women . Its obligatory for a woman to cover her complete body except her face & hands up to the wrist with loose,non transperant cloths and in the same chapter , verse 30 , Allah says the moment a man looks at a woman and any unashamed thought comes to his mind, he should lower his gaze . In chapter no:33, verse: 59 ,Allah says that hijab has been prescribed for the women to that they are recognized as modest women & this would prevent them from being molested.And even after wearing an islamic hijab, if a man comits rape, islamic shariah prescribes capital punisment for him.Like all other major religions,islam too declaers rape and molestation as grave sins . Islam not only preach rape as a sin but also gives guidance as to how society can eliminate it . So the statement put forward by the author is nothing but lack of islamic knowledge.

In the article, the author is criticizing the act of a group of muslims because of whom a woman was forced to accept her father-in- law as her husband .In surah Nisa [4:23] of Qur'an , Allah prohibits man from marrying the wives of his sons .So a muslim who follows the words of holy Qur'an will not support the marriage of a woman with her father -in- law . So author's criticism should not be against islam but against the muslims who fail to follow islam . One cannot criticize islam based on the behaviour of a muslim or two. There are blacksheeps in every community.Islam should be judged , not by its followers, but by its authentic sources, the glorious Qur'an and Sahih hadith. Allah himself asked us to criticize islam but the one who criticizes must be truthful.

In the fourth stanza of the article , the author is ridiculous at the people who demand shariat or Islamic law.She also feels that educated and scientific minded people with conscience cannot accept such a law.Let's see what happens if islamic shariat is implimented - whenever a man looks at a woman and any unashamed thought comes to his mind , he lowers his head.Even after wearing hijab and a man comits rape, he gets capital punishment .Every rich person gives Zakat ( 2.5% of his savings in charity above 85 gms of gold for every lunar year) and every convicted robber has his or her hands chooped off as punishment will surely reduce the rate of rape, poverty and robbery.What is wrong if an educated , scientific minded person with conscience demand such a law ? Glance at USA which is supposed to be the most advanced countries of the world.According to National Crime Victimization Survey Bureau of Justice Statics (US Department of Justice ) in 1996, 3,07,000 cases of rape were reported .Only 31% of actual cases of rape were reported .So 9,90,322 rapes took place in 1996, i.e every 32 seconds one rape is taking place in America.

Later in her article in the sixth stanza, she refers Shah Bano , Imrana & Guriya to be sinned for having born in a muslim household.Let me ask - is it sin to be born in a religion which uplifted women and gave them equality and which asks men to respect women ( surah Nisa 4 : 1) and lower their head the moment a bad thought creeps into their mind Is it sin to be born in a religion which prescribes not less than capital punishment for a rapist?Is it sin to be born in a religion which not only preaches but gives practical solutions to the problems of mankind.

Allah says in Qur'an that men and women are equal.( surah Al Shura 42 :11).England gave economic rights to women in the year 1870 only.But Islam gave her ecnomical rights 1300 years back.[surah Nahl 16:72 ] In Islamic view, while marrying, a woman is on the receiving end ''Give the women in dower , a maritial gift.[surah Nisa 4:4] Qur'an asks men to treat their wives on a footing equality and kindness even if they dislike her [surah Nisa 4:19 ].It also says ''accusing a women falsly is a big crime [surah Nur 24:4 ] .According to Qur'an men and women are supporters and maintiners each other [surah Tawbah 9:71 ] , men and women are garments of each other [surah Baqara 2:187 ]. Can you find any other releigion asks men to support their wives financially even after a divorce ? This is the secureness and freedom which woman wants. Bringing Islam into the mind of each and every one is the only solution for wipping off the male dominated society .

Let me make myself clear that i am not writting this against the author, Taslima Nasreen . But my words are pointing to the misconcepts of many including her.If she still holds on to her words, let her produce a surah or atleast a verse from Qur'an to support her statement.

If a person like me can find these many mistakes in that article , Then surely an islamic scholar will find a lot more . It is the editor's duty to prevent such articles from being published . If a known writer gives you an utter stupid article, will you publish it blindly ? This small article of Taslima Nasreen published in the week might have brought misconcepts in the hearts of many .
