Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith by Sajid Mahmood Ansari 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 Gabriel. The Qur'an is considered the ultimate and unalterable source of guidance for Muslims, containing the teachings, principles, and laws that form the foundation of the Islamic faith and practice.

History of the Spiral Universe

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. History of the Spiral Universe Author: Sajid Mahmood Anasri We discussed the structure of the universe in our previous article titled The Spiral Universe . We concluded that the universe is spinning on its axis like a giant spiral galaxy. We drew this conclusion on the basis of the Prophetic narrative and observational data. Now, this paper aims to give a brief history of the universe again with the help of observational data. In our paper Basics of the Muslim Cosmology , we spotted the light on the faith in creation in Islam and how the scientific theories progressed towards a universe that had an origin in the remote past. However, this paper aims to give an updated history of the spiral universe, from origin to present, based on Muslim Cosmology. Divine Programming Allah Almighty says: “Glorify the name of your Lord, the Exalted, Who created, then evolved. And Who programmed then guided.” [1]

Signs of Almighty God in Photosynthesis

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Signs of Almighty God in Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the amazing process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food and oxygen. Just like we need food to survive, plants need it too, but they make their food themselves. It's like they have their own kitchen inside their leaves! Here's how it works: Plants have a special substance called chlorophyll that gives them their green color. When sunlight shines on the leaves, the chlorophyll captures its energy. This energy helps the plant combine carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground to create a sugary substance called glucose. Think of glucose as the plant's food. It's like a yummy energy snack for them! But that's not all. As a byproduct of making food, plants release something very important for us: oxygen! This is the same oxygen we breathe in to stay alive. Photosynthesis in Lab? It is no
