Holy Qur'an Translation by Dr. T. B. Irving
2. The CowTHIS CHAPTER of 286 verses is arranged in forty sections. It, as well as Chapter 3 and Chapters 29-32 inclusive, begin with the mystic initials A.L.M. It dates from the first year after the Hijra or Transfer from Mecca to Madina, or around the year 623 A.D. It was revealed before Chapter 8 Booty, except for verse 281 (XXXVII) which was revealed at Mina, a suburb just east of Mecca, during the Farewell Pilgrimage shortly before the Prophet passed away. The title is taken from the Cow, or the Golden Calf, the story of which appears in section VIII below, and which Moses wanted the Children of Israel to sacrifice to God Alone.

Man's Success Through Tawhid by Jawadi Amuli The most essential right of man is existence. The factor that sets up harmony between thought and action is called "existence". A being which does not think is not alive; or a being which does think but which is inactive is not alive. Or, if a being thinks and is active but his thought is not imminent over his actions, he, too, is not alive. If, in his action, the being does not seek help from his thoughts, he is not alive either.

Welcome
Ramadan
Ramadan is the month of blessings and returning to Allah in repentance. Two months before Ramadan, i.e., in the month of Rajab, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to pray to Allah to make him witness the month of Ramadan. He used to say: “O Allah, bestow Your blessings on us during the months of Rajab and Sha`ban, and make us witness Ramadan.” The Prophet said that out of his deep love and appreciation for the rank of the holy month of Ramadan in the Sight of Allah.

Modernity, Islam, and the West by Tamara Sonn
Modernity" is a word whose denotation is often obscured by its many connotations. Fazlur Rahman wrote an entire book, Islam and Modernity, without ever defining the term. Like many people, he used it interchangeably with "modernism," a related term but with a different technical definition. In the West, where the terms developed, "modernism" means a philosophical approach to certainty which relies primarily on reason rather than revelation. It began with Descartes' effort to overcome doubt by identifying self-evident principles, but it is usually identified with Kant's critical analysis of epistemological, ethical, and aesthetic judgments. This intellectual approach to certainty is recognized as the basis of the flowering of Western science, the "scientific revolution" responsible for the phenomenal technological developments usually associated with the modern age. These scientific and technological developments, along with the sociopolitical transformation of Europe resulting from a similar shift from reliance on religio-political authority to democracy, are usually taken as the key characteristics of "modernity".

THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE "what the Scientists say about it" by Harun Yahya
"The explosive vigour of
the universe is thus matched with almost unbelievable accuracy to its
gravitating power. The big bang was not evidently, any old bang, but an
explosion of exquisitely arranged magnitude." |
