In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. WISDOM LIES IN HEARTS Author: Sajid Mahmood Ansari There are a number of Qur’anic narratives that help us to conclude directly without any complexity that wisdom lies in hearts. Though the Greek philosophers and later scientists have been believing, for centuries, that the organ of wisdom is brain. But latest research in neuro-cardiology supports the Qur’anic narratives. Qur’anic Narratives: The most eminent Qur’anic narrative that illustrates this fact rests in Surah Muhammad. The narrative goes: أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا Will they not, then, ponder over this Qur’an? – or are there locks upon their hearts?  [1] Subhan Allah ! What a motivational Ayah is this!   This  Ayah clearly mentions that the organ of thinking and understanding is the heart instead of brain. The same fact has been illustrated in several other  Ayaat . As follows: أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَر...

Far from recounting tales for the sake........ Within the sacred verses of the  Qur’an  lies a tapestry of narratives that transcend the bounds of mere storytelling. Far from recounting tales for the sake of entertainment or historical preservation, these stories serve a deeper purpose: to illuminate the intricacies of human psychology and to impart timeless lessons for all generations.Central to the Qur’anic narrative are the accounts of past nations and their interactions with divine guidance. From the stories of prophets like Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon all of them), to the fates of nations like the people of Aad, Thamud, and Pharaoh, these narratives offer profound insights into the human condition. Yet, their significance lies not merely in their historical context but in thei...

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Abstract This research explores the Qur’anic concept of  shakilah  from Surah Al-Isra (17:84) and interprets it through the lens of  human psychology . It investigates the divine recognition of individual differences in temperament and personality, examining how these differences influence behavior and spiritual journey. The study argues that  shakilah  encompasses not only moral and behavioral tendencies but also genetic, psychological, and environmental factors that define the human self. 1. Introduction The Qur’an presents a comprehensive view of human nature, morality, and guidance. Among its nuanced insights is Surah Al-Isra (17:84): “Say: Each acts according to his own shakilah; but your Lord knows best who is most rightly guided.” This verse offers a profound commentary on human behavior, suggesting that every person acts based on their internal nature or disposition. The term  shakilah ...

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Introduction In a world where motherhood has long been viewed as both a biological destiny and a societal expectation, a quiet but profound shift is underway. Increasing numbers of women around the globe are opting out of childbearing altogether—not through temporary birth control, but through permanent surgical procedures like hysterectomy. While traditionally reserved for serious medical conditions, hysterectomy is now, in some cases, being sought as a deliberate, irreversible act of reproductive autonomy. This trend reflects far more than a medical decision; it signals a growing movement of women asserting control over their bodies, challenging societal norms, and redefining what it means to be female in the 21st century. From urban centers in the West to marginalized communities in the Global South, this essay explores the complex motivations, ethical implications, and socio-cultural forces driving this radical departur...
