Mocking the Prophet, How Should We React??

Just like the cartoons few years ago, the Muslim response to the recent film has been very diverse. From the very mild of responses to the very violent ones, what's most noteworthy is the enormity of the response. Despite the consensus that the film did not deserve the attention it was getting, social media kept being flooded, and still is, with messages defending the Prophet . So, before another incident of mockery takes place, since it seems that it's only a matter of time before someone else tries to play on the sensitivities of Muslims, let's Read more ...

An Aspect of the Quran’s Miraculous Nature
An Aspect of the Quran's Miraculous Nature
Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips
For a scripture to qualify as divinely revealed it must be totally accurate in its descriptions of reality: the past, the present and the future. The Quran has many stories about previous prophets and their peoples. Some of these stories have elements in them that can be checked out for their accuracy. One example of the Quran's precision in its historical descriptions is in the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), who was sold as a slave in Egypt, but rose to become an important official in the government, which made it possible for him to bring his whole family to live there in honor.

Out of Egypt: The Story of Pass-over in the Quran
Out of Egypt: The Story of Pass-over in the Quran
- By Prof. Shahul Hameed
Many Jews may be surprised to learn that Islam as preached by Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the same religion preached by Abraham, as well as of all other prophets mentioned in the Torah and the Bible. Muslims honor all the prophets of the Jews – Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David and Solomon among others – as their own prophets.
Here is how Allah ordered Muhammad to follow the religion of the Patriarch Abraham:
"So We have taught thee the inspired (Message), "Follow the ways of Abraham the True in Faith, and he joined not gods with God."" (Surah Read more ...
Example Of Arrogance In The Quran : PHARAOH
Pharaoh is often referred to in the Quran as one of those who grew arrogant towards Allah. However, regarding Pharaoh as a merely unique example, is to fail to recognise the broader significance of the subject. It is important to recognise that the story of Pharaoh in the Quran, aside from merely providing information about his life, defines the "Pharaonic" character that has become prevalent in our time.
Whether recognised or not, history has seen many people possessed of the Pharaonic character. As a matter of fact, most are familiar with this character. Those who are known for their arrogance are often likened to Pharaoh. The Quran refers to Pharaoh Read more ...
Honourable in Allah’s Sight : Prophet Musa (Moses) (AS)
Prophet Musa (Moses) (alaihis salaam) & Prophet Harun (Aaron) (alaihis salaam)
The pharaoh who ruled Egypt was a tyrant who oppressed the descendants of Jacob (pbuh), known as the children of Israel (Bani Israel). He used every means to demean and disgrace them. They were kept in bondage and forced to work for him for small wages or nothing. Under this system the people obeyed and worshipped the pharaoh, and the ruling class carried out his orders, thereby authorizing his tyranny and crazy whims.
The pharaoh wanted the people to obey him only, and to believe in the gods of his invention. Perhaps, during that time, there were many classes of people Read more ...
Prophet Yusuf (alaihis salaam) : A Dream… its Interpretation
The Quran was sent down to mankind by Allah to serve as a guide, it contains the very truest accounts, bringing glad tidings to man, warning him and instilling fear in him. It is a great mercy and the sole Divine Book. For that reason, it is the Quran that people must read and study above all else.
