How about Learning Some of the Old Ideas First?
Those who rush to introduce new ideas into something are often the ones who have not taken the trouble to master the old ideas first.
A Simple Definition of Islam
Islam has a simple definition: Honouring Your Guest. That is Islam.
There Is No Islam without Integrity
Our credibility is our integrity. We have to be meticulous in what we do. Otherwise, it won’t be Islam.
Moderation Is Just another Name for Islam
There is no Moderate Islam and Radical Islam – except in the mind and language of professional anti-Islam propagandists. There is only one Islam that came from God and that Muslims have known for a thousand years. And its name is Moderation. Bottom Line: If It Is Not Moderate, It Is Not Islam, Period!
Tyranny and Falsehood, Two Peas in a Pod
They say Truth is the first casualty of war. Makes sense, does it not? For, once you kill Truth, then it becomes easier to kill people. That is why Falsehood is such a staunch and inseparable ally of Tyranny. They are two peas in a pod.
Qur’an Is the Book of Life, from the Maker of Life
Qur’an is the book of life, from the maker of life, for human beings on how to live their life in this world.
The Human Predator – Deadliest of All
Most predators kill their prey only one way. Humans can kill each other a million different ways.
Being Human Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
Sometimes, being human can be hazardous to your health. Look at all the ways human beings have invented to harm, hurt and kill themselves.
Muslims Smoking? How Does That Make Sense?
I have never been able to figure out how smoking fits into Muslim lifestyle.
Giving a Dying Dog Water Can Be Your Passport to Paradise
Want to purchase Paradise on the cheap? Give water to a dying dog. Or feed a hungry cat. At least so says the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam.
Cigarettes Can Bring Death to Your Family and Friends
Cigarettes may kill – not just you, but your entire family. And some of your friends too.
Your Family Females Hold the Key to Your Paradise
Looking to go to Paradise? Go, be good to your mother, your wife, your daughter and all the other females in your family. I don’t know of anyone who gives women a better billing.
You Change the World by Just Being in It
Who says you can’t change the world? You are doing it, aren’t you? Just by the way you are living your life?
Be Nice to the Females in Your Family! That Is Islam!
Islam is all about being nice to the females in your family: your mother, your wife, your daughter and everyone else. Go read the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam.
Islam Is about Anger Management
Islam is all about Anger Management. If you don’t know your Hadith, or your Qur’an for that matter, that is not my problem, is it?
In Islam, Education Is Worship
The Lab to a Muslim Is Mosque! So also, to a Muslim, a school, a college or a university is also a place of worship. So, time spent in a lab or in a classroom is time spent with Allah. So long as the work you do is done for Allah and with the betterment of humanity in mind!
Work with People, You Will Be Closer to Allah
Try as much as you can to work with people and not against them. Be a peacemaker and not a troublemaker. Always remember that it is Allah that opens doors and not your own personal cleverness or the help of other people. And Allah facilitates things with a gentle and softer touch faster than things that have a rough edge to them.
You Can’t Lie and Cheat to Make the World Muslim
If we can make the whole world Muslim by lying or misrepresenting things, we do not want to do that. For, that is not Islam. For, more than anything else, Islam is about truth. Islam is Haqq — Truth – from Al-Haqq — the God of Truth!
What You Get Out of the Qur’an Is Really Up to You
What we get out of this infinite ocean of light, glory and blessing that the Qur’an is, is not a function of the ocean now lapping at our faces and at our souls, it is a function, rather, of the container we bring to it. Buckets and teacups will haul away only what they can hold. And those that have holes in them will leak and lose what they are given.
Muslim Oil Is the Life-Blood of Modern Civilization
Muslim Oil is the Lifeblood of Modern Civilization. You pull it out and civilization as we know it will come to a screeching halt!
March with Allah’s Caravan, and Don’t Get Left Behind
Alhamdulillah, Allah’s caravan is on the march. Don’t get left behind. And don’t run off to join some other band. Don’t stop to rest either. You never know if you can ever catch up!
Don’t Just Be an Errand-Boy for Others,
Work to Become the Embodiment of God’s Message on Earth
Our work is not about ‘Helping Out’ or ‘Running Errands’ for the big boys, even though help is always needed and most welcome. Our work is really about ‘Taking Charge’ of Allah’s Deen, Islam, and ‘Working Day and Night’ to Become Its Vibrant Voice and Living Image.
Building a Better World
Want to build a better world? Here is what we need to do — every single one of us:
- Love our neighbours; and our societies and our communities; and Muslims and non-Muslims — and the whole world.
- Elect the best rulers we can.
- Help our governments to perform their legitimate, lawful and constitutional roles in serving the best interests of our people — and of all of humanity everywhere.
- Hold our elected officials accountable.
- Love God.
- Work tirelessly to take the Qur’an to every home and heart that needs it — and which one does not.
And bear in mind that Islam is not — and cannot be — defeated from outside, it is always eaten up from inside — by common mercenaries; by seekers of power, position, wealth, name and fame; and by sundry traitors and fools.
I am also tempted to say, Islam is not for idiots, but I will save it for another day!
