The Qur’anic Chronology of Creation

By
Image
Exploring the Qur’anic Chronology of Creation reveals a profound perspective on how our universe transformed from a single point into the complex world we live in today. While modern science focuses on the "how," the Qur’an describes creation in meaningful stages that highlight the purpose behind the heavens and the earth. This layered journey moves from the initial act of creation to the detailed shaping of the stars, planets, and life, finally culminating in the appearance of human beings. In this article, we break down these stages to show how the Qur’an presents a beautifully coherent and purposeful vision of the universe. 1. Chronology of Creation Allah Almighty says in Surah Fussilat: 9.  قُلْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُۥ أَندَادًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ 10.  وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَوَىٰ لِلسَّائِلِينَ 11.  ثُمَ...

Why Pornography is Haram in Islam?

By
Image
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Pornography has been linked to a number of negative impacts on the human mind, hormones, and neurotransmitters. One impact is the potential for addiction, as viewing pornography can lead to changes in the brain's reward system, similar to other addictive behaviors. Introduction Pornography refers to sexually explicit materials, such as videos, photographs, magazines, or literature, that are intended to arouse the viewer or reader. It can be found in various forms, including magazines, books, videos, and online content. The term “pornography” comes from the Greek word “pornographos,” which means “writing about prostitutes.” Types of Pornography Allah Almighty says:   إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَن تَشِيعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ Indeed, those who love to see immodesty spread among the believers will suffer a painf...

The Abraham Accords and Genocide in Gaza

By
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The  Abraham Accords  are a series of diplomatic agreements initiated in 2020 between  Israel  and several  Arab or Muslim-majority countries , aimed at  normalizing relations  and fostering cooperation in various areas, including trade, technology, and security. These agreements mark a major shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics, breaking from the long-standing Arab consensus that normalization with Israel should be contingent upon a resolution of the  Palestinian issue . 1.  Origin and Naming The accords are named after  Abraham  (peace be upon him), a patriarchal figure revered by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, symbolizing shared roots and an aspiration for interfaith unity. The term was coined to promote the idea of reconciliation among the descendants of Abraham — Jews and Arabs. Announcement Date:  August 13, 2020 Broker:  United States (Trump Administra...

Disaster of the Indus Delta: A Climate-Change Crisis

By
Image
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Sinking Coastlines, Drowning Villages, and Human Crisis in Pakistan’s Delta Region The Indus Delta, located along the southern coast of Pakistan where the Indus River meets the Arabian Sea, is rapidly transforming into one of South Asia’s most alarming climate disaster zones. Once a fertile and thriving ecological region filled with mangrove forests, fisheries, agricultural settlements, and coastal towns, the delta today faces relentless sea intrusion, land subsidence, salinity, coastal erosion, and climate-driven displacement. Entire villages are disappearing beneath seawater, agricultural lands are turning barren, and fishing communities are being forced to migrate inland. The crisis of the Indus Delta is not merely an environmental issue. It is a humanitarian, economic, ecological, and national security challenge. Climate change has intensified sea-level rise and extreme weather, but the disaster is also deeply conne...

Canal Conflict Boosts Water Crisis

By
Image
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Pakistan’s Strategic Canals Project, aimed at diverting water from the Jhelum and Chenab rivers into the Cholistan region, has sparked an ongoing  canal conflict  —not merely between provinces but between competing visions of national development and federal equity. At the heart of this complex issue is the challenge of how to expand agricultural productivity in barren regions like Cholistan while ensuring fair and sustainable water distribution among the country’s riparian provinces, particularly Sindh, which lies downstream on the Indus River System. The Strategic Canals Project: A National Vision Supporters of the project argue that the Strategic Canals Plan is not a unilateral initiative of Punjab, but a nationally approved and endorsed program aimed at revitalizing Pakistan’s agricultural sector. President Asif Ali Zardari, among others, has backed the initiative as part of a broader strategy to ensure food se...

Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith

By

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. In this article, we shall delve into details about the compilation of the first    book  of Hadith, Sahifah al-Sadiqah, by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas.   Sahifah al-Sadiqah: Th First Book of Hadith In this article, we shall delve into details about the compilation of the first book of  Hadith ,  Sahifah al-Sadiqah .   During the early stages of the revelation of the Qur’an, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took measures to ensure that his words, known as hadith, were not recorded alongside the Qur’an. This decision was made to prevent any potential confusion between the divine scripture, the Qur’an, and the sayings or actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The primary reason for this distinction was to safeguard the Qur’an’s unique status as the direct word of God, as Muslims believe it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gab...

صحابۂ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم معیارِ ایمان

صحابۂ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم معیارِ ایمان صحابۂ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم معیارِ ایمان صحابۂ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم معیارِ ایمان تمہید ایمان محض زبانی اقرار یا چند ظاہری اعمال کا نام نہیں بلکہ دل کی وہ کیفیت ہے جو انسان کے فکر، کردار، ترجیحات اور طرزِ زندگی کو مکمل طور پر بدل دیتی ہے۔ قرآنِ مجید نے ایمان کو ایک زندہ، متحرک اور اخلاقی قوت کے طور پر پیش کیا ہے۔ اسی تناظر میں صحابۂ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم کو امتِ مسلمہ کے لیے معیارِ ایمان قرار دیا گیا، کیونکہ انہوں نے ایمان کو صرف قبول ہی نہیں کیا بلکہ اسے اپنی فطرت، خواہشات اور عملی زندگی کا محور بنا لیا۔ صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم اور معیارِ ایمان سورۃ البقرہ میں اللہ تعالیٰ فرماتے ہیں وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ اٰمِنُوْا كَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُوْۤا اَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ السُّفَهَآءُؕ-اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَآءُ وَ لٰـكِنْ لَّا یَعْلَمُوْنَ “اور جب ان سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ ایمان لاؤ جیسے لوگ ایمان لائے ہیں تو کہتے ہیں کیا ہم ویسا ایمان لائیں جیسے بے وقوف ایمان لائے ہیں؟ سن لو! دراصل یہی لوگ بے وقوف ہیں مگر جانتے نہیں۔ یہاں “الناس” سے مراد جمہور مفسرین...

Barzakh: A Parallel Universe Beyond the Physical Realm

By
Introduction The Qur’anic concept of  Barzakh  occupies a unique position in Islamic metaphysics. It is neither the material world ( dunyā ) nor the final Hereafter ( ākhirah ), but an  intermediate realm  that exists beyond ordinary physical perception. When examined carefully, Barzakh emerges as a  parallel mode of existence , operating under laws different from physical space-time. The Qur’an presents subtle but powerful indications that human beings are not limited to a single plane of reality and that interaction with Barzakh begins even before death. 1. The Human Being: Body and Soul as a Unified System The Qur’an consistently presents the human being as a  composite of body and  soul , not merely a biological organism. “Then He proportioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit.”  (32:9) The  body  is physical, measurable, and subject to decay. The  soul (nafs / rūḥ)  is immaterial, conscious, and life-governing. Life ...
