In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Houthis will meet the Fate of Their Father, Abraha Makkah al-Mukarramah is not merely a city. It is the heart of the Muslim Ummah, the home of the Ka'bah and the destination of millions of Muslims who come for Hajj and Umrah. Any attempt to threaten the sacred city carries a significance far beyond an ordinary military confrontation. According to Saudi authorities, a Houthi drone was destroyed south of Makkah before entering the holy city's restricted airspace. The reported incident immediately evokes the memory of Abraha , the ruler of Yemen who marched toward Makkah with an army intending to destroy the Ka'bah. The Houthis have denied that they targeted Makkah, but the reported incident has nevertheless revived the historical memory of the Army of the Elephant. The Qur'an immortalized Abraha's failed expedition in Surah Al-Fil : "Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the companions of the e...

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The UNO’s New World Map: How a Change in Cartography Could Change the Way We See the World For more than four centuries, one particular image of the world has shaped generations' geographical imagination. It has appeared in classrooms, atlases, newspapers, offices and, in modified forms, on digital maps.

By a vote of 164 in favour, one against and six abstentions , the Assembly adopted the resolution “Correct the Map: Rebalancing Global Cartographic Representation and Promoting Equitable Representation of the World’s Regions, Particularly Africa.”  Togo led the initiative, with support from the African Union. ( United Nations ) The resolution pr...

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Argument Against Pakistan Reconsidered: Why Partition May Have Strengthened Rather Than Weakened Muslim Political Power The most persistent argument against the creation of Pakistan is that Partition weakened the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent by dividing them geographically . According to this view, Muslims constituted roughly a quarter of the population of undivided India, and if they had remained together, they would have possessed a much larger demographic and political weight. Partition, by creating a Muslim-majority Pakistan, allegedly sacrificed the political influence of Muslims in India in exchange for a geographically divided state. At first sight, this argument appears compelling. But it rests on an important assumption: that a large minority dispersed throughout a Hindu-majority democratic state would necessarily possess greater long-term political power than a smaller population concentrated in a Muslim...
