گزشتہ دنوں میں جو مسلم لیگ نون اور آصف زرداری کے درمیان معاہدہ ہوا اس میں موثوق ترین ذریعہ سے معلوم ہوا کہ معاہدہ بروئے کار لانے اور مسلم لیگیوں کو اعتماد میں لینے کے لئے قرآن کریم کو بطور قسم استعمال کیا گیا۔ لیکن اپنا مقصد نکلتے ہی آصف زرداری جسے (گرگٹ) کہنے میں کوئی عار محسوس نہیں کرتا اپنا رنگ بدلتے ہوئے ججوں کی بحالی کے وعدے سے مکر گئے۔
Asslamu Alikum, Hello!
I have added a new Category (My Inbox) where I will share with you the mails i got from friends.
here is the first picture, Holy Makkah in the future.
I was thinking since I started my Enlish and Arabic blog to start urdu blog also, I like to write in Urdu too, and I already created urdu blog, but I am feeling that I do not have much time to look after my all blogs, so I am moving my Urdu Blog here.
I have wrote this poem after pakistani elections 2008, its about Pervez Musharraf & prime minister of Pakistan Yousaf Raza Gillani.
اٹھے پردے سیاست کے کھلے اسرار پنہانی
کہ بالاخر ہوئے ہیں منتخب مخدوم گیلانی
شریکِ دوڑ تھے مختار احمد شہ قریشی بھی
امیں امید سے تھے پر نہیں تھا امر یزدانی
وزارت کے لئے سب ہی ہوئے پھرتے ہیں دیوانے
مگر مانے نہ کوئی بھی کہ ہے یہ بحر طوفانی
خدا کی رحمتیں شامل تو ہوتی ہیں حکومت پر
مگر منصب کے طالب پر نہیں ہوتی مہربانی
عجب حالت! کہ پاکستاں کو خادم کی ضرورت ہے
مگر ملتے ہیں قسمت سے اسے مخدوم سلطانی
محبِّ قوم ہو مخلص ہو ہم کو جو ملے قائد
نہیں پروا بلوچی ہو کہ سندھی ہو یا ملتانی
خدارا! غیر سے الفت کی رسمیں توڑ ڈالو اب
ضرورت ہے اگر بھولو نہ پھر شانِ مسلمانی
مشرّف چھوڑئیے قبضہ یہ کرسی عارضی منزل
فکر انجام کی کرئیے پڑھو آیاتِ قرآنی
تمہارے کام کچھ اچھے بھی ہیں سب معترف اس کے
مگر اعمال نامہ ہے گواہِ جہل ونادانی
گری مسجد بھی تم سے تم ہی قاتل عدلیہ کے ہو
گنوں کیا کیا! ترے ظلموں کی ہے فہرست طولانی
تمہیں دعوی کہ سید ہوں سبھی جانیں سبھی مانیں
مگر اے کاش ہوتے بھی ترے افعال عدنانی
بہت ہی رٹ لیا نعرہ کہ پاکستان اوّل ہے
خدا کا نام لے لو اب کرو تسبیح گردانی
مری مانو کرو بیعت خدا نے تم کو دی فرصت
جلی شمعہ دیا مرشد دیا مخدوم گیلانی
سنا ہے خلوتوں میں منکشف ہوتے ہیں اسرار
اگر خلوت بھی چکھ لو تم تو پاؤ فیض روحانی
یہ راسخ کی تمنا ہے دعائے خیر کرتا ہوں
کہ پاکستان پر ہر دم رہے انعام ربانی
والسلام
راسخ کشمیری
مدینہ منورہ

Analysis of 63 years of human life
from: Mountains of Good deeds in A few Minutes
Abu Talha Muhammad Younus Butt
In present times, if we reflect upon a normal person’s life then we will realise that his actual life is really only made up of three years. (By his real life we mean only those parts of his life that he has been created for: and that is Allah’s worship). A Human’s life is only three years? Come and we will see up to what extent this statement is correct?
The Prophet Pbuh has stated : The age limit of my nation will be between 60 and 70. In another narration He has stated: The age limit of my nation is between 60 and 70 and very few people will exceed that age.
In present times the middle age for a person is between 40 and 50. Let’s say for instance that instead of 40 and 50 a person’s full life is 63, because our Prophet [ lived till the age of 63. How do you and we spend these 63 years? By the above argument we are just trying to make you realize that how do we worldly people spend these 63 years of our lives?
According to international law a person has to give service for 8 hours, daily, and in one day and night there are 24 hours. Accounting all this if a person was to give service for 8 hours a day, then out of 63 years 21 years are spent in service.
Likewise according to medical rules, for a person to stay healthy it is necessary for him to sleep 8 hours a day. If a person sleeps 8 hours a day then out of 63 years, he spends 21 years in sleep. Like this you and I spend 42 years in just our upbringing by giving service and sleeping. After these 42 years have been spent in work and sleep, we only have 21 years remaining.
We all also know that 12 or 13 years of our lives, meaning until a child reaches puberty, the shariah is not entrusted upon him i.e. until a child does not reach the age of puberty he will not be accounted for, for missing his prayers or fasts or not performing haj or giving charity. We all also know that these 12 or 13 years are spent in play and amusement, even the family members and relatives amuse the child with toys and they divert his/her attention from the reality of this world and they bring colourful presents and toys for him.
To this Khwaja Aziz ul Hasan used to say:
“The childhood you wasted in toys.
The youth hood spent in mischief.
And now the old age lost in unawareness.
Just think you have lost your whole life.”
On another occasion he states:
Firstly, your childhood fed you for years
Your youth then made you insane
How severe was the pestering of the old age
Death will completely demolish you
The world is not a place where you can give your heart
This is a place for heed not for entertainment
However these 13 years of the human life are also spent in playing and jumping about. If we add 13 years of childhood to 42, this will give us a total of 55 years. Hence out of the 63 years of his life these are the 55 years that he has only spent in play, work and sleep. In these 55 years the human has not worshipped his sustainer, whereas he was only created for the sole purpose of worship. Rather he has spent 55 years only in self-indulgence and he did not fulfil his real purpose of life.
After spending 55 years without worship, we are left with 8 years of life. Now ponder and think for a moment, do we spend these 8 years in performing the salaat and other acts of worship ? Certainly not. The majority of us live and die us people who neglect the duty of prayer. Regarding this Allamah Iqbal had said:
Although the people with faith made the masaajid in one whole night
Yet the mind is the same old sinful mind that wasn’t able to become punctual worshipper
He also said on another occasion:
How hard is it for you the awakening for the dawn prayer
How do you have love with Allah, yet you have love for sleep
We are now left with these eight years of our life which we spend in eating and drinking, going here and there, spending time with our wife’s and children, visiting friends and relatives and for those of us who pray might spend some little time offering their prayers. As for those misfortunate people who do not offer their prayers and according to Allama Iqbal the old sinful minded people do not even spend this last eight years offering prayers, rather they spend it in selfishness and sin.
A most punctual believer who offers his prayers with no delays at all, if we are to calculate his time spent daily in offering his five prayers then only a maximum of one to one and a half hours in twenty-four hours of his day.
Taking the above into calculation a person will spend a maximum of thirty-one months and fifteen days of his life offering his prayers worshipping Allah. We can think for our selves that a person who is classed as religious and punctually offers his prayers gives only this amount of his time to his lord whereas he was only created for the purpose of worshipping his lord. Yet how much time does he spend being selfishness.
Along with this inattentiveness and unawareness of the human being Allah has bestowed his blessing all around us, and we are enveloped with the mercies of Allah.
My dear friends, are we not taking advantage of Allah’s numerous blessings? Remember even when one of us is a sleep he is still fully surrounded with the blessings of Allah. The coming of sleep which takes our daylong stress and tiredness away (even though we are so disobedient to Allah) is this some minor blessing of Allah?
Allah has announced in the holy Quraan that this sleep which he has bestowed upon mankind as an emblem and sign of Allah, as he states in sura Ar-room verse 23 “And among his signs is your sleep by knight and by day and your seeking of his bounty’s, verily in that are indeed signs for those who listen.”
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ مَنَامُكُم بِالّلَيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَابْتِغَآؤُكُمْ مِّن فَضْلِهِ
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ ( الروم : 23 ) .
I just read an article which was published in the last week of May 2001 in the Urdu News Jeddah where a woman who for a full two years could not get to sleep. And to try and cure this illness she had traveled to many different countries including America, England, Egypt etc. And after putting all the effort she could, she gave an announcement in the News paper saying that anyone who would succeed in returning her sleep to her will be awarded with a gift of a 100,000 Saudi Riyals. Imagine how desperate this woman is. This is that same sleep which Allah is giving us regardless of our shortcomings and sinful acts we do. It is through the wisdom of Allah that he has made it so that all his creation from humans, to animals to birds and other creations of Allah have all been obliged naturally to sleep at night at one time. Especially for his servants and generally for his other creation so that none would be disturbed by the others.
If only one of the creation was to sleep at night and the other were made to wonder freely then the human would neither be able to sleep at night nor rest during the day.
Think for yourselves is it not a act of shame that we lack in the fulfilment of the reason of such a benefactor and patron who has created us solely to worship him? And out of 65 years we spend 55 years in utter selfishness, and merely with a careless worship of 2 to 3 years we have high hopes of entering that paradise regarding which Allah has said in Surah-Al-Hadied verse 21 “The width of that jannah is like the width of the heavens and the earth” Regarding this very same Jannah Allah say:
(عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ السَّمَآءِ وَالأَرْضِ )
سورة الحديد: 22
Regarding this very same Jannah Allah say’s in the following verse “Race with one another in hasting towards forgiveness from your lord Allah, and paradise the width whereof is as the width of the heaven and the earth” yet instead of running and racing towards this Jannah we are not even bothered to walk towards it, and we have hope in gaining this Jannah, isn’t this an idiotic thing to do?
Hadhrat Thanwi (R.A.) states “The real thing is that greed and desire have surrounded us from all four corners. Our nature is one that loves comfort , we wish that we gather many things of luxury and enjoyment as we can. The name Islam is only to differentiate from others and only serves as a sign. What is salah? What is sawm? We do not know, some of us even go to the extent of looking down and mocking people who believe in these orders. Such Iman is not worthy of being called Iman.
قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ إِيمَانُكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِينَ
( البقرة : 93 )
No one should think that I am forbidding from gaining the world, or I forbid from learning the different sciences, and technology. Never do I mean to say this, rather earn as much as you can, work because many times the apparent tranquility is usually a sign of inner peace of mind, because whosever’s sustenance is hard and difficult then his heart is also not at peace. But we are not to waste our Religion because of that. Do not think of it with less prestige. Try to follow the guidelines of our religion whilst acquiring this world. Do not give preference to this world over our religion, this is what Khwaja Aziz-ul-Hasan say’s in a poem:
Earn the world and keep this false love to a low limit
Give religion preference over it
This lantern will also start giving smoke
So maintain this flame as low as possible
Where religion and world can not be held together, then through the profit of the world in to the fire. When you do acquire the worldly knowledge the do not part from your prayers and sawm. Do not run from the company of the Ulama. Keep rectifying your deeds and beliefs alike by sitting in their company. If a person becomes a barrister or attains a P.H.D from London as long as he has with him the above mentioned qualities then his eyes attain coolness and his heart is happy at this scene. But a person who does not have these qualities in him and sells his religion for his world can never be seen happy. May Allah guide us all to the right path, the path of those who he has blessed and not the path of those who he is angry on and neither those who are astray. Ameen.
اللهم اهدنا الصراط المستقيم ، صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم
غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين . آمين
The statement of Hadhrat Thanwi completed with a bit of extension, this same statement is said by Akbar Ilaha Badiy in his own words, he say’s
“Whether you examine the minute details of the city of Kulzum or you fly in an aero plane”
“I will still say then, do not forget Allah”
Hence whoever has got this divine light of the Shariah can go amidst any centre of darkness he will never trip up Insha- Allah.
My dear friends remember the two to three years out of your 65 years which you spend in worshipping Allah, this is the real life you should be spending. For examples sake think of a person who works 8 hours a day, if he works trustworthily for 8 hours then this will be counted as his original service he has given. Hence he will ask for the full wage from his owner and boss. On the other hand if he attends work and only works trust worthily for 1 or 2 hours and spends the rest of his time sitting in the office or walking about here and there, and the boss gets to know about this then it will be only counted as 1 or 2 hours even though he may have spent 8 hours at work, and he will only be awarded money for the time he may have worked as this is what he deserves.
If the employer asks for the full wage after working for 1or 2 hours then the ignorance in him will be open for all. If the boss wishes he may even sack him for asking such a ridiculous question.
My dear friends our real life is that life that was spent in the worship of Allah, because our real duty in life is worship. Therefore the time that he spends in worship, will be counted as his real life and duty, even if he stays in the world for 60, 70 years. Now, it is really up to us if we wish to make our 63 years of life into a real purpose, or if we wish to only live for 3 or 4 years and waste all the rest of our lives. This will not cause any harm to the Almighty Allah and neither does he forcefully make the mankind believe, but he actually states in the Holy Quran: There is no compulsion in religion. (Baqarah : 256)
لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ
( البقرة : 256 )
He gives mankind a choice, like he states in Surah Kahaf: Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills let him disbelieve. Verily, we have prepared a fire for the wrongdoers.
فَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَاراً
( الكهف : 29 )
In the light of this Aayah somebody has stated:
May the priceless favour of Mohammed [be opened for whoever wants, can prefer not to come, whoever wants can go into the fire, You say that Eisa is the son of god, then whoever wants can tell me who is the grandfather.
Hence the real life of mankind is that which is spent in the remembrance of Allah. Khwaja Azizul Hasan Majzoob states:
Why do you ask me about my life, no saintness no infancy and neither in it a youth, those few moments which are spent in remembering the beloved, that is it, that is the whole of my life.
The Prophet [ has stated: The whole world is cursed and everything that it contains is cursed, except a scholar. Allah’s remembrance and anything that is connected to Allah’s remembrance is not cursed.
From this Hadith we learn that any action that does not have any connection with Allah’s remembrance is cursed and far from Allah’s mercy. And remember that, that life that is negligent of Allah’s remembrance and far from Allah’s mercy, is not worthy of being called a life. It is sad to say that this is the condition of most of our people today, except who Allah wishes.
Despite all this negligence, Allah’s mercy and kindness is such that even though seeing his creation occupied in worldly affairs and unmindful of the hereafter, he has increased the reward of very small actions to such an extent that you can possibly not imagine. He makes the rivers flow of mercy and forgiveness, upon such a minuet action or word. Like you will read in this article in the future.
Likewise, those years of mankind that are spent in negligence and obstinacy, thus Allah through his infinite mercy fills all the shortcomings and holes in mans life which he had committed and indulged himself in. Like you will learn in this booklet, the infinite mercies of Allah.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It should be kept in mind that we have kept this age of 65 according to our community and people and all of us are fully aware that to what is the percentage of those people who offer the prayers punctually. This is not a account for Holy people, their sleeping , awaking, standing and sitting, eating and drinking, all of this is counted as worship. May Allah enable us to spend a life like this. AMEEN.
The deeds that have been mentioned in this booklet will bring a person very close to Allah and keep drawing him closer to Allah, according to the quality and sincerity in doing them. Inshallah. May Allah give us the ability to sincere all our deeds for him and may he give us the ability to follow our Prophet S.A.W. fully. Ameen.

Religious thinking concentrated its search on certainty in life, and on the reasons on human existence, to know mysterious secret of life. (Tailor) was one of the early scholars who cared for the idea of religion. He observed that relationship between social behavior and religion is an interrelation. When religion concentrate on moral values such as permitted and prohibited, on good and evil, on reward and punishment, then it enters the details of society life. While (Durkhaim), on the other side, admits that religion regulates beliefs and behaviors related to sacred things, and that they resemble unity of believers. Religion then has more than one job. From the individual side, it assists them to feel security, stability and safety, to determine their identity, and group belongingness and their acceptance to values and beliefs that religion regulates. From the side of society it helps in regulating emotions and their sustainability, and this is one of the pillars of community continuity and sustainability. Passing over all dealing of sociologists in the field of moral values, we observe that it remind us, in details or summary, moral values as they had been seen in the ancient Greek paganism, or in Judaism, or Christianity, then it turn abruptly to its shapes, and forms in modern Europe, ignoring discussing their views, shapes and forms in Islam. But some Europeans during the nineteenth century tried to extract moral values and principles from the Holy Quran, but such trials never reached the stage of shaping practical foundations, or to offer them in the shape of a complete constitution of moral vales, in addition to that they are built on incorrect translation for the Holy Quran meanings. There is another worst situation which is found among seculars, who study values in Islam then compare them tot the values of Arabian life before Islam, or to what had been stated in the Torah or the Bible, then they decide that if values are matching between Islam and what its precedents, then this is an indicator that Islam revealed them from previous religions, and if there is difference, then this is an indicator that values are not absolute but relative. The aim of this is to distort the shape of Islam, and to decide that it didn’t bring any thing new to human life. They didn’t know that matching could come from that Islam is the source of values as it is in the previous religions, because it came from Allah who sent all messengers and prophets, and they didn’t know also that stating that values are relative is mistaken, and that it is more accurate to say that some societies are limiting their potentials and capacity to reach to the absolute right. The need for studying values from an Islamic perspective could be felt if we came to know that doubts cast by some intellectuals that Muslims are to abandon their moral and spiritual values if they are to seek scientific and technological progress and to seek merge to western life, and that it is impossible for Muslims to build on values, because the absence of values is the source that brought industry and science and that values shall limit space for achieving civilization. This is not true, because some nations achieved civilizations while they protect their identity and values such the Japanese. There are Muslim scholars who adhere to their Islamic values, theology and behavior and they achieved vast progress in scientific and technological fields. The Holy Quran is a methodology of morals and virtue, that is stated the rules of morals, and drew the path of right behavior that achieves happy life to all society individuals. Allah states in the Holy Quran (Surely, this Qur’an guides to what is most right; and gives to the believers who do good deeds the glad tidings that they shall have a great reward) (Al-Isra: 09), and that (And if there comes to you guidance from ME, then whoso will follow MY guidance, will not go astray, nor will he come to grief;) (Taha: 123), and the Holy Quran is the constitution of morals in Islam. Such morals search for change through struggle and not on the concept of sociology, but on its Islamic concepts that aim to build on moral values not on physical benefits. It is change to the best in beliefs and in systems. It is changing polytheism to oneness, ignorance by knowledge, unemployment by work, poverty by richness, weakness by strength, and selfishness by solidarity, and vulgar by chastity, and all other values that Islam is calling for in the process of building human society. The criteria of progress and backwardness in Islam concept is unique. It is linking development to faith and guidance, and backwardness to infidelity and ashtray, even if they are linked to physical civilization and scientific benefits. Allah States (And if there comes to you guidance from ME, then whoso will follow MY guidance, will not go astray, nor will he come to grief (*) But whosoever will turn away from MY remembrance, his will be a straitened life) (Taha: 123-124), and the Holy Quran is very frank in keeping the ashtray on his agony, even if physical potentials are abundant, and this is the case of western life that are built solely on physical learning and experiment, and on old beliefs that are built on exchange in all its dealings. Allah States (Have they not traveled in the earth that they could see what was the end of those before them ? They were mightier than these in power and they left firmer marks in the earth. But ALLAH seized them for their sins, and they had no one to protect them from ALLAH (*) That was because their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs but they disbelieved; So ALLAH seized them. Surely, HE is Powerful, Severe in punishment) (Ghafir: 21-22), and He States (Have they not traveled in the earth so that they might see how evil was the end of those who were before them ? They were stronger than these in power, and they tilled the soil and populated it more and better than these have populated it. And their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs. And ALLAH would not wrong them, but they wronged their own souls.) (Al-Room: 09). Previous verses link the ideological factor to the change in society shape of life, even if physical potentials, strength and power are there. If we search in the formation of Muslim society, we shall see that it is built on a course that came from Lord of All Creations. This course is the base society is built on, and formed as it is ordered by Allah to his slaves, not on those sought by other people. In view of this Shariaa, Muslim community had been built, and work and production relations, and rules of life, individual and group moral bases, and principles of behavior, work laws, and all other society important aspects, that determine its path toward progress and development had been formed. This Islamic society is the society that enjoys its formation capacities that are distinguished from other human societies according to the following features:
First: that it is a Divine society that is built on Islamic ideology, and relation between its individuals is built on this ideology. It is clear the concentration of the Mohammedan Message on planting ideology of Islam in Muslims life for thirteen years, then He turned to orders and prohibitions that are met with full obey from all Islamic society individuals at that time. It is clear also the concentration of the Holy Quran on the meaning of ideology and faith in what had been Stated by Allah ( O ye who believe ! believe in ALLAH and HIS Messenger and in the Book which HE had revealed to HIS Messenger, and the Book which HE revealed before it. And whoso disbelieves in ALLAH and HIS angels, and HIS Books and HIS Messengers and the Last Day, has surely strayed far away.) (Al-Nisaa: 136).
Second: it is an global community. It is a society that is not built on race, nationality, or ethnic. These are features that disappear when their sources are absent. It is a society that is open for all people from all races, languages or colors. Society that is built on the Orders of Allah (Say, `O mankind, truly I am a Messenger to you all from ALLAH) (Al-Aaraf: 158).
Third: it is cooperative society. One of the main and most important features of it is cooperation and solidarity, all its individuals are one unity, cooperatives, loving, and support each other on the hardships of life and crises. The Noble Prophet said that (Believer to believer are like one building, one ties the other).
Fourth: it is an advisory society. The main benefit of this is that every individual believes that he is support others seeking their benefits, and that Muslim is like a mirror for his brothers Muslim, and that one of the main duties of all Muslims is promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, as Allah States (And the believers, men and women, are friends of another. They enjoined good and forbid evil and observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat and obey ALLAH and HIS Messenger. It is these on whom ALLAH will have mercy. Surely, ALLAH is Mighty and Wise) (Al-Tawba: 71). Sure that all those who try to study Muslim social history shall find that moral values are a part of the religion principles, could not be split of it. They are constant origins that do not change on life and dci********. And that main principles of Islam urge all Muslims to stick to moral values, for this is the main pillar for Muslim nation victory, towards its development and sustainable human and materialistic civilization. If we look in moral value and supreme examples, we shall find that they collapsed before Muslims historical collapse, and we know that the Islamic religion call to adhere to moral values through stick of religious and moral values. Religion calls for control of human behavior and direct it toward correct behavior and morals follow this behavior, so, in most cases, we shall find religious controls mix with moral controls, on the contrary of non-Muslim societies, which follow its moral controls from society culture or from mind. Religion in the concept of Islam is the course which gives moral values their sacred and honest, which makes individual feels that he is a monitor on his own values and behavior, and that creates a self-deterrent. This is what called in Islam the “religious deterrent”. Islam determines moral values which society is to follow, and give it a clear stable reference of systems that all individuals are to follow, and it strictly applied a group of controls that find its strength and validity from religion controls, that in majority cases is left for human conscience and his fear to his Lord. So lying, envy, malice, slander, arrogance, scant, and all kinds of such behaviors are prohibited in Islam, and contradict to good moral values, so controls are applied to prevent individual from performing as such.
Study of Values by Muslim Scholars: Muslim scholars cared for moral values under different names such as (Faith Sections) and (Decencies) or (Virtues), (Morals) or (Great Sins). What could be termed negative values cold be found in Al-Qazwinin (Summary of Faith Sections), or in (Great Sins) for Imam Al-Thahabi, or what could be termed the Positive Values that could be found under the title (Decencies) for Ibn Al-Moataz, or in (Morals and Biographies) for Ibn Hazm, and we find that Al-Ghazali in his book (Restoring Religion Sciences) casts many positive values, and that much negative values could be found under the title (Syndromes). Ibn Al-Qayem also is concerned in his book (Passers Stairs) to the values of ideologies, while on the other hand Al-Nawawi in his book (Riyadh Al-Saleheen) is concerned more with moral values, and Al-Shatibi in his book (Aims in Shariaa) divides them to necessary, need and promotion. During the contemporary era, there is Lutfi Ahmad who divided values in Islam under ten titles : Slavery values, human admiration values, faith values, integration values, guidance values, repentance values, moderate values, calling and prayer values, comprehension values, and selection values, while Abdul Qadir Hashim Ramzi said that values in Islam could be divvied into materialistic, human, moral and spiritual.
Sources of moral values in Islam: the source of values in Islam differ as to source. If we mean Islamic values, then the source would be Holy Quran and Noble Prophetic Sunnah, and this means that values should be absolute and stable, and if we mean Muslims values in their societies then their sources would be numbers and could differ from one society to anther, but there could be some common points. Such sources of values in Muslims societies could be referred back to traditions and habits, resembling other nations, or intellectual and civilization citing, innovation in religion and other kinds of sources.
Features of moral values in view of Islam
features of such values could be summarized as follows:
a. They are logic: that they conform with the nature of good human thinking. No one among philosophers tried to turn down one of these values cast in the Holy Quran. Allah said his Holy Book (And truly, it is a mighty Book, (*)
Falsehood cannot approach it either from before it nor from behind it. It is a revelation from the Wise, the Praiseworthy.) (Fussilat: 41-42).
b. They are realistic: that they match real life and human nature and conform with change in all situations and during all eras. They are not absolute ideals or impossible imaginations, or strange from human nature.
c. They are useful: that they are useful for both human and society in this life, and could lead to more benefits in the other life.
d. They are balanced: that they are not for individuals or to society separately. Instead they are medium built on balance and consistency, between individual and society benefits.
e. They are the foundation of society: that they conform between physical and materialistic needs, between soul and body, between rights and duties, under the supervision of fair authority of the Holy Quran.
f. They are eternal: they are cited from the Sacred Shariaa of the Holy Quran and from the religion of Islam which Allah accepted as the sole religion for all humans.
g. They are internally consistent: the source of values in Islam is the Holy Book and Sunnah, from this point it shall not be thought that there could be any kind of dispute or conformance, as Allah Says (Will they not, then, meditate upon the Qur’an ? Had it been from anyone other than ALLAH, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.) (Al-Nisaa: 82). The most important thing here is that sources of values in Islam should be thought of as coming from one unit.
From this point values in Islam could not be the thing that is pleasant for one person during any time alone. In this case Islam called them desires that all Muslims are to confront and limit. And that they could not be extracted from the human experience or from the social activity. They are divine not left for the society, or to its activities or experiments. Values in Islam are good meaning without any kind of guidance such as love, it is for known types, and such as conviction which should not turn to dullness or inactivity. Values in Islam are the courses that determine positive and negative attitudes, and not left for motivations only, they are moved by faith sometimes. Values in Islam are not as communist term their values. Work is one of the values of Islam, and not all values of Islam is what is thought of as to conform with mid, for mind in Islam is a means for understanding decided values.
Aims of Moral Values in Islam
Moral values in Islam aim to determine human activity in a Muslim society, and to promote and control their behavior to the benefit of the whole society and its individuals, and to bring for all individuals a good conclusion in the other life. It aims to integration human attributes, behavior, activity that aims to prepare followers of the Lord, whom Islam described them and clarified the path of goodness for them (It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the East or the West, but truly righteous is he who believes in ALLAH and the Last Day and the angels and the Book and the Prophets, and spends his money out of love for HIM, on the kindred and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and those who ask for charity and for ransoming the captives; and observes prayer and pays the Zakat; and those who fulfill their promise when they have made one, and the patient in poverty and afflictions and the steadfast in the time of war; it is these who have proved truthful and it is these who are truly God-Fearing.) (Al-Baqara: 177), and formed their medium passage in dealing in their lives (And seek, in that which ALLAH has given thee, the Home of the Hereafter; and neglect not thy lot in this world; and do good to others as ALLAH has done good to thee; And seek not to create mischief in the land. Verily, ALLAH loves not those who create mischief) (Al-Qasas: 77). Moral values in Islam then, whether they are individual such as sincerity, patience, charity love, soul combating, or common such as self feeling, obligation, and call for Islam, are meant to bring individual and society benefit, and protect human benefit. From this point we determine the main foundations of the value theory in Islam as to the following objectives:
a. First Objective: Oneness and worshipping: (most common foundations of Muslim life is that human should seek to achieve the Oneness of the Lord, which is a strict respond to all what humans are thinking about the continent, life, and living, life before and after him, and that is what all humans should use to seek true worshipping to the Lord. This is the system revealed from the Holy Book and Prophetic Sunnah.
b. Second Objective: to prepare the faithful individual( for system of value in Islam seek to prepare the individual with a strong building, who seek to achieve the Say of Allah, Praise the Lord, (Say, `My Prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are all for ALLAH, the Lord of the worlds) (Al-Anaam: 162). This is a portray that differs from the portray of good citizen in other contemporary systems. The good person in human systems could kill, be unfair, and could seek to built his self society on the account on other societies, but the good human in Islam is like Abu Bakr and Omer, May Allah be in Consent with them, who urge to avoid torture, burning or killing children, and to avoid killing trees or demolition of churches.
c. Third Objective: is Balancing as Islamic value system is built on balance as the principle of everything. Allah Says (and HE has created everything, and has determined its proper measure. ) (Al-Forqan: 2), and Allah Says (And there is not a thing but are limitless treasures thereof with US and WE sent it not down except in a known measure) (Al-Hijr: 21). For all this Islam seeks to integrate all life aspects materialistic or spiritual, and seek to build individual objective along with the society aims and call for all to integrate words with deeds, and to balance between human needs in this life and his wishes in the other life.
d. Correct Morals: Islam makes the moral side a measure for good deeds, and the main side in values is the main objectives for the message of Islam. The Noble Prophet came to complete good morals, and Islam cares for development of moral feeling in human nature, and makes correctness the guide of human behavior both publicly and privately, as Islam assures the moral side in all worships.

Allah decided that Islam is immortal religion till Allah is entitled the land and people, and he said that Islam for all the humanity as He said in the Holly Qur’an: Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is swift at reckoning. (19) ( Surat Al Emran).
This led Islam to have unique adjectives for remaining as unique religion for all humanity, and it is a religion of mercy. As Allah said in The Holly Qur’an:
We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples. (107)( Surat Al- Anbiaa).
And also Allah said: Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you (185) (Surat Al-Baqra).
Islam is integrated method for all life and does not delete other cultures. Dialogue is the choice, and multiple cultures enrich the humanity thought. Islam assured the multiple believes, as Allah said in his Holly Quraan:
And if thy Lord had willed, He verily would have made mankind one nation, yet they cease not differing, (118)( Surat Hood).
And dialogue should be made by wisdom and advise as it is absolute right for all, there is no violence or deleting for the others opinions, as Al- Tabry quoted in his book from Christian and Jewish poets as AlAktal and Al Somowal, which shows that there is no convulsion but tolerance .
Islam tried to extend its arm to the followers of other religion to achieve cooperation based on justice, security, saving blood, protecting privacies, and did not discriminate the others, delete their rights, forcing them to embrace Islam, or taking their money or blood shading. Therefore, Islam has commanded Muslims to be just with all people whether Muslims, non-Muslims, who didn’t endanger us, as Allah said in his Holly Book:
Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their owners, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly. Lo! comely is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer(58) (Surat Al-Nisa).
It is not fair that love and hate used as a scale for behavior, as Allah said in his Holly Book:
O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal justly, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do. (8)(Surat Al-Maeda).
And Islam ordered us to treat those non-Muslims, who did not endanger us, in good behavior, as Allah said in his holly book:
Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred not against you on account of religion and drove you not out from your homes, that ye should show them kindness and deal justly with them. Lo! Allah loveth the just dealers. (8)( Surat Al-Momtahana).
And Islam specified Muslims with Muslims support which means advocacy and assistant and Islam advice them not to believe on the non-Muslims believes, as he said in his Holly Quraan:
Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah’s party. Lo! is it not Allah’s party who are the successful? (22)( Surat Al- Mugadala).
There is big difference between loving the disbeliever and loving the good for disbeliever. One of the greatest pictures of loving the good for infidels is advising theme to embrace Islam. The prophets - peace be upon them-, duty was inviting the disbelievers to Islam for being in heaven and avoiding hell to win the happiness of life and afterlife. Islam inform them that devotion and good deal are behaviors and works, and their position is the organs but loyalty and innocency and tolerance is a believe and their position is the heart, and what was mentioned lastly is a beneficial perspective for dealing ,good application and it reflects the mercy and forgiveness which are the priorities of Islam.
One of bright picture of Islamic is the Islamic law, which was stated for the benefit of its followers to reach the goodness and avoid damages, and the view of humanity in Islam becomes clear trough the easiness of Islam laws’ text, and the easiness of understanding its concepts. That is because of the accurate and purity of expression, the clarity of its concepts, the easiness of understanding its meaning, refusing the extremes, and avoiding the hardness. The wisdom was clear in caring of all the rights and balancing, and Islam forgives in case of mistakes or forgetting.
The man who looks Islamic law text will find the Almighty Allah’s blessing that there are less forbidden compared with more allowed, and all forbidden was for our favor in life and religion. The base of Islam is to allow and the exception is to forbid.
Woman rights is one of the evidences of Islam raising, and respecting the marriage relation as holly bond based on good behavior and treatment, and supporting love bonds. In order to protect family relations and their love bonds.
Punishments in Islam reflect its greatness. These punishments are for protecting us and as protective tools in the same time.
Repentance reflects the mercy of Allah. Allah knows the instinctive motives in the human on the first moment of creating him. Therefore He cares of purify the society from all means of allurements which drive these motives. and the easiness of Islam becomes clear trough its care of human and his conscience, making the remembrance of Allah is the protection of doing faults. That was a precautionary training that prevent human from thinking or doing a crime, with putting on consideration that punishment can not be applied before making sure that the crime is really done without justification or suspicious compulsion. Also Islam left the door of repentance opened, which also reflects its mercy, because there is no one who does not attain sins, so Islam ask human to repent and return back to Allah. This reflects the justice of Islam system, and the wisdom of its laws and the easiness of its method.
This was the message of our prophet Mohammed, which is an integrated message for all our life fields, for all humanity ignoring colors, genders, nationalities, languages, and environments. This message will be alive in all ages in the front of all other heaven religions and the last ring in the chain of the prophet chain.
The Impact of Islamic Civilization on the Historical Development of Civilization
Writtin by: Shaihaanah
Translated by: Dreams.
Students of Al-Imam Muhammad Saud Uni (Riyadh) Saudi Arabia.
Civilization is not a personal property of a group or nation, rather a common heritage of all who have contributed in building it. Thus, they have the right to enjoy its outcomes since it is a nationalized industry for all nations.
* * *
In order to fulfill the concept of civilization it is important to search in its core. Otherwise, it will be a body without a spirit. Hence, some of the civilization historicists notice that the essence of civilization lies in the spiritual and the moral side of the individuals and the group, without ignoring the material and the aesthetic considerations.
* * *
In some, the general stages of the history, wars were means for exchanging ideas and experiences. After the clanking swords go down and the clattering weapons have stopped, a stage of understanding, consideration and knowledge of others’ view commence, examining the others values and cultures, and selecting what is useful to reach a step of development.
* * *
The Arabs have rushed to all the earth. They faced all difficulties, overridden wilderness, fought battles and opened what they have opened for Islam. In all their actions, they have been allayed by victory and success because of their tolerance; the policy they have applied with all who disagree with them, setting the best example of not discriminating the others.
* * *
The sublime principles, which the Islamic countries were based on aimed to protect all of their citizens in light of Islam’s call for coexistence and mutual respect with people of other religions. Such Islamic tolerance has led to a harmony amongst the citizens of the country, consequently, setting off a development in human thought and anew sort of activity in different fields which was not known before. They all contributed in making the Islamic Civilization, as it was the first international civilization in the history of humanity, and woke up other nations from their long sleeping to come out to the world of light and accept an era of science and civilization.
* * *
The tolerance of Islam is evident when Islam entered Andalusia, as it brought with it an intellectual and a spiritual freedom and released the citizens from restrictions. Despite of the presence of the special educational system for Christians and Jews, Muslims never have any problem in discussing their historical and religious heritage, the never monopolizes their culture, thought and knowledge. In contrary, they allowed other people’s children to join Muslims’ children in “Kuttab”; where teachers teach their pupil Qur’an and other subjects related to Islam and Arabic. Moreover, some Jews participated in scientific seminars in palaces of the Caliphs or in mosques, which contributed greatly on the intellectual and the cultural awakening of Jews.
* * *
In the Islamic Empire, equality in rights among individuals sets an ideal example and model for others to follow, made them a unified society. Muslims and Non Muslims were teachers and students for each other. Thus, Muslims worked on all types of human arts and science, the cultural and the human thought method entered to the countries, which were not ruled by Islam, either by Muslims who traveled to foreign countries for one reason or another, or by Non-Muslims who came to the Islamic countries for studding.
* * *
At the time when Europe has lived in ignorance, darkness and fanaticism, Andalusia enjoyed the light of knowledge and development, as the libraries were full of thousands of publications in various sciences, arts, and literature. After the Jewish thought was limited by a narrow religious authoring, they dealt with all the various sciences, which is something they have believed- before living among Muslims- is a form of infidelity and atheism. Consequently, their medical, philosophical and astronomical publications have been increased. In addition, their thought absorbed sciences, arts and literature that have been affected by Islamic influences. Eventually, a number of Jewish intellectuals and writers have emerged, who found in tracing Muslim intellectuals, writers and thinkers a great impact in awakening their own civilization.
* * *
When the Arabs cultures and their writings in philosophy, medicine, mathematics and astronomy astonished the emerged European culture, schools of translators were established, to translate the Arabic literature to Latin. In addition, these schools translated the Arabic translation of the ancient Greek literature, which was unknown until the Arabs translated it. In virtue of these Arabic translations, Europe has the chance to look at Greek literature that lost its authorships.
* * *
The impact of Islamic Civilization extended to include not only sciences and arts but also life and behavior in many fields, and two examples should be enough to illustrate what that means:
* * *
1- The external appearance:
Islamic environment impose Muslims to care of their appearance, cleaning, and to follow good behaviors, which affected even the Non-Muslims. For instance, many books of Jews have contained whole chapters regarding politeness and straight behavior, along with the cleanness of body and clothes and their high propriety. They even started to get off their shoes in the front of temple just like Muslims do when they enter Mosques, and led them to high behaviors which they did not use to before.
* * *
2- The treatment of woman:
the Jewish say that their law mention that the husband has the right to do with his wife whatever he wants to do, as Talmud does not respect woman and her humanity, as it is mentioned: ( blessings for you God because you did not create me as a woman). And by the Islam Effect, the Jewish allowed woman to go to the temple in respectful dress, and specified for her another place inside the temple, and then the Jewish were compiled to change this saying: ( blessings for you God because you created me as you want).
The wife was not able to request divorce for her husband hardness, or for his inhuman behavior, the Jewish compiled the husband to give the wife food and the life necessities by the effect of Islam and Moslems, then they allowed divorce for husbands who abuse their wives.
* * *
Finally, Europe woke up from its deep sleep on the light of Islamic civilization, or we can say, it was born from the Islamic civilization, and without the mother, there is no son.

This calling and words for who looks for scholarship and truth without any native or ideological alignment, and I hope with my humble words to enlighten the minds of those who are seeking righteousness.
In the Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Compassionate
And Peace be Upon Prophet Mohammed
It is disgraceful to find, from any site whatever it is, rumors that aim to abuse people and societies in general. This behavior is against human nature, and is not approved by the judicious people, and the owners of dreams and orders.
* * *
Unfortunately, I am sorry to see, lately, how a well and regularly organized campaigns among students targeted Islam and Moslems, in which both were falsely and unjustly criticized. Therefore, I am amazed how those who allege culture and civilization still call for the necessity of dialogue between religions! I wonder, as well, if our culture gives us the right to abuse others without verifying our accusations, especially if these are targeting a whole nation. Is it a civilized act to make guesses upon what things are negative in other nations then publish them in preplanned campaigns? Then how can we achieve the dialogue between religions upon such a polluted environment? How do we justify these actions which promote racism and divide people of different faiths?
* * *
Authorities who “merchandise” these bolds aim at spreading intellectual terrorism between people, and rational people shouldn’t believe these intended rumors. So, as students, we should investigate well especially for these issues and thoughts which take us down on other peoples and nations views before being easily haunted by who play by and manage our minds by words and thoughts based on malevolence and hate due to the variety in religion and believes. Technically speaking, we would say that those authorities manage to direct people, as if they are controlling a robot with a remote control. Nobody accepts to live and others hate him? Nobody does. Therefore, directly your mind freely by commonsense, love, and peace, not by other’s desires. Behave freely and do not be a victim of the “calls of hate”.
Islam, as other divine religions, has never called its followers to hate others just because of their differences. Non Muslims has never been forced to believe in Allah, but He gave humans a mind which is able to distinguish the right from the false. He made us aware of the good and the evil, of heaven and hell. The Quran sates: “There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejects the false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (256) (Surat Al-Baqra).
This Quranic doctrine paves the way in front of those who lack spirituality to go and search for it without being prejudiced by anybody or to any idea.
* * *
Islam is not fascist! – the way some narrow minded people try to picture it. It is, however, a compact law, which pushes civilization and helps in its development. And most importantly, Islam extremely cares for the human being, protecting his rights, without differentiating between black and white, but considering them all brothers in humanity in which forgiveness and mercy joins them. Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) never blamed any human being –whether a Moslem or non Moslem - and you will be astonished if I mention the following story with tells about the Jewish rabbi, Zaid Ben Saana, when he came and pulled the prophet’s dress upon claiming his own money - which the prophet has lent from him - and said “I know enough about you (the sons of Abdulmotaleb)” but Omar – the Prophet’s companion – rebuked the rabbi. The Prophet said: “Omar, you were supposed to behave in a better way. You should have asked me to be faster next time in returning his money, and ask him to claim it back in a more proper way. Go and give him his money, which is three measures, and add 30 measures to compensate for your reaction against him.
And then Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) visited a jewish boy: A young Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet and once he became sick. So the Prophet went to visit him. He sat near his head and asked him to embrace Islam. The boy looked at his father, who was sitting beside him; the latter told him to obey the Prophet, and the boy embraced Islam. The Prophet came out saying: “Praises be to Allah Who saved the boy from the Hell-fire.” (3)0.
* * *
All the religions have one origin. The religion basically aims to give human beings the adequate method for his best in life and the hereafter. Therefore, the forms were modified upon changing the laws, but there was only one core, as Allah said in the Holly Quraan:
He hath ordained for you that religion which He commended unto Noah, and that which We inspire in thee (Muhammad), and that which We commended unto Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying: Establish the religion, and be not divided therein. Dreadful for the idolaters is that unto which thou callest them. Allah chooseth for Himself whom He will, and guideth unto Himself him who turneth (toward Him). (13)( Surat Al- Shura)
All the religions have one source which is Allah; He started with Adam, then He followed him by prophets starting from Noah up to Mohammed (Peace be Upon Them), and as we are worshippers of Allah, we should follow his orders and do what he orders without any resistance, as the creator has the right to do whatever He does with His creatures, and as worshippers, we have to obey him for his greatness.
* * *
The Islamic faith is built upon believing in all prophets and the holly books from the original sources without any change or deviation, as Allah said in his Holly Book:
The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction between any of His messengers - and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying. (285)( Surat Al- Baqra)(4)
As we recognize all the prophets, religions, and books in its origins, why all of these arguments around Islam, Islam Prophet, and Muslims? And why do not you recognize Our prophet and Islam? This point should be considered by fair researchers…
* * *
The constitution of Qur’an regarding dealing with other faith is fair, as it orders us to behave good and peacefully towards them. However who endangers us, logically we have the right to defend ourselves, as Allah said in the holly Quran:
Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred not against you on account of religion and drove you not out from your homes, that ye should show them kindness and deal justly with them. Lo! Allah loveth the just dealers. (8) Allah forbiddeth you only those who warred against you on account of religion and have driven you out from your homes and helped to drive you out, that ye make friends of them. Whosoever maketh friends of them - (All) such are wrong-doers. (9)( Surat Al-Momtahana)(5).
In this article, allow me to mention some examples of Islamic forgiveness, determined by our prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him), and were followed by his followers from Kings, Princes, and Caliphs (successors). After Mohammed was sent to Mecca, he was fought by his close family members and neighbors. They described him as a poet and magician after they used to consider him an honest man before Islam. They used to trust him and listen to his judgments in case of problems and conflicts in opinions. Once Gabriel was sent to him to declare him a Prophet, he was dismissed from his country, stoned, and injured. But, he was merciful with them; he never wised them any harm, unless those who fought him, he was obliged to face them with the sword. Though, he entered Mecca victoriously after being repelled from it and asked its people: What do you think am I going to do with you? They replied: Good; you are a generous brother, and a son of a generous brother. He answered: Go, you are free, Allah forgives you and me(7). This is a very obvious example on how Prophet Mohammed was not a man of blood. He could have revenged from the people of Mecca for expelling him away from his homeland, but no he didn’t. Unfortunately, some orientalists try to distort the true image of our prophet by “choosing” from his life what supports their presuppositions.
The companions of the Prophet, later, held his Sunna (his way of life). They revived splendid and immortal examples of Islam’s forgiveness, mercy, and compassion, as in the following story by Mujahed ( May Allah mercy him)who said: “We were sitting with Abdullah Ben Amro Al-’Aas and his boy was skinning a sheep, he said for his son: boy! When you finish slaughtering it, start distributing its meant by our Jewish neighbor - and he repeated this to him three times - then a man wondered how many times you mentioned the Jewish. He replied: I listened to the Prophet ( Peace Be Upon Him) recommend to take good care of the neighbour until we thought he would make him my heit. (8)0
This is a brief material from big history and the history of Islam is full of human situations which show Islam mercy by his neighbors without discrimination, please review the books which speak about the human in fair manner.
Finally, let us mention some quotations written by of non-Moslem scholars and researchers - as there are some of them who criticized the prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), there are some of them who defended him.
Dino Neport said in his book Apology for Mohammed and Islam: “It is a sort of foolishness to think that Islam was based on sword, this religion forbids the bloodshed, and order by good, and forbid the bad, ordered by opinions negotiations, and forbid the dictation, it gives the human his civil rights, and Europe should remember that they are debited to the Moslems themselves.”
Senserten Alasojy (born in 1866), professor of sublime languages and journalist in sublime languages and journalist in Eastern Languages Magazine, wrote many books, one of them was Mohammed Life History, he said: “We shall not be fair with Mohammed if we do not mention his great adjectives, Mohammed fought in the appropriate life war against ignorance and barbaric life, insist in his believes, and he found the tyrants until getting victory. So, his law completed the laws, and his above the history great people.”
The Austrian Doctor Shabrak said: “The humanity is proud of Mohammed. Although he was illiterate, he could to bring a law before 14 centuries, we are the Europeans will be the happiest if we reach to its peak.”
The German orientalist Ana Mary Shimle said: “Do not blame me for my love to the Prophet of Islam.. my love for him is not limited, which made the others think that I am Moslem, and I say a saying for Hindus poet: I might be believer or disbeliever and this is known by Allah only, but I like to present myself as lover for the humanity survivor the great master of al-Madina Mohammed, the Prophet Mohammed ( Peace be Upon him..). so, do not blame me for my love and deafness for Prophet of Islam, while there is no person suffered from injustice more than Mohammed as the stories of central centuries accused him as cardinal who was angry for not being a Bob and left the church and established new religion. A French story accused him that he participated two other persons in forming a sort of devilan triangle! And there in unforgiving crime by the British writers who transferred the name of Mohammed to be synonym to devil..And the German literature modified Mohammed to Mahoom, and they accused the Moslems that they worship idol for Mahoom. Unfortunately, this picture is stabilized in the western mentality which explains the western hate for Islam. Is this injustice enough for me as a reason to show the fact of Islam prophet and defend him even if I introduce my life (Who keeps silent for right is dumb devil)(9).”

It is a real message from a Muslim female student to all her counterparts in the various universities of the world, especially in America and Europe represented in her realistic vision in conformity with a rational perspective. The vision is simply centralized in the pioneer ship of the Muslim woman in her field, the tasks attributed her and the guarantee of her religion which seeks her dignity in the various fields: at home, at work and in all her life stations.
It is only a simple reminder about Islamic Law and its guarantee to the woman to practice her freedom as the man, but as per controls ruled by morals, with no transgression on others rights. Most importantly observing the public etiquette, as well as her feminity. It awards her the high as the man to benefit from the civil civilization. She is the teacher, the student, and the raising mother. The lord has honored her via this great religion: Islam.
Her prestige is evident from the various Islamic legislations represented in:
a- Equality in rights and duties which is the normal criterion between her and the man as per the Islamic perspective taking into account the different roles to be played by them.
b- The Messenger of Allah, May Allah’s peace be upon him was always stressing on honoring the woman and she is entitled to struggle and claim & practice her rights as per the law of Islam which ensures that for her.
c- Islam encourages honoring and kindness to both parents and mercifully deals with them especially the mother. Islam urges and focuses on the importance of kindness to both of them in a repeated fashion indicating honoring the woman in her various age stages.
d- One of the most important honoring points obtained by the woman as per the Islamic perspective is that she does not incur expenditure on herself & her kids as long as her husband is alive. Thus, Islam has awarded her this distinction for honoring her, as expenditure is a must on the husband.
e- According to Islamic law, the woman is considered the raiser of generations, the factory of glories and the basic brick in constituting the child’s character and configuring his/her culture derived from excellent teachings aiming at mercy, respect, unselfishness, life love and creation development. All these important points are some of the major tasks assigned for the woman indicating high trust in her, and the high dependence on her. This is only one aspect of her multiple contributions in the community service as an active member besides the man.
The woman is the most important and major inducer in the house. She is the fuel of the ship which rests on a safe shone. Through the woman, stability is achieved as she is the supporter, partner and the spring of love & affection for all. This is Islam’s genuine view to the woman as being the basic brick of the woman as being the basic brick of the woman. This is a source of proud of this religion (Islam) which has awarded the woman this prestige as well as many honoring stations in her life.
Muslims do believe that all heavenly religions are from God, the true of faith of a Muslim is the belief in those heavenly religions and the messages they have brought. Religious fanaticism along some evil intentions which have caused enmities and hatred among the followers of the various religions. Those having the wicked intentions want to encourage this hatred through distorting the legislations of Islam and its view towards the woman, yet Islam with its tolerant teachings since its birth stresses on putting aside the hatred culture and replace it by a spirit of tolerance coming out from moral fields supporting agreement and reconciliation under an important title that is human respect. Secondly, the obvious teachings & frank legislations calling for honoring the woman and putting her in her suitable positions as a genuine base for the community and an important tribute towards configurating the family’s culture in particular and the community in general. Those teachings and the legislation methodologies are available for researchers away of the fabricated racial distortment and fogginess.
This honoring is a source of proud. There is no wonder that may of the western women converted to Islam due to their admiration with the practices of Islam which stress on honoring the woman within its teachings.
This is a freedom method for those looking for reality.
