Why Generosity is required in Ramadan - 0 views

  •  
    For every Muslim, the month of Ramadan is regarded to be the special month where no other things get importance than this. To know the real benefits of Ramadan, one needs to acquire correct knowledge on each and every aspect. For every Muslim, it is pretty much necessary knowing the features of Ramadan, and how they can be observed with appropriate terms and conditions. With proper knowledge of Ramadan and its virtues, it gets relatively easy for a person to adapt and practice the teachings of Islam precisely. There have been so many instances, where people tend to misunderstand the basic fundamentals of Islam and its virtues. Thus, they tend to work on certain things that are not required or featured. It is due to the lack of knowledge about the religion and it's all other important aspects. It is necessary to know that, Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, is known to be the special month where Allah has given opportunities to get rewards, and blessings from him. Our prophet Mohammad (May peace be upon him) used to prepare himself, and took several measures for practicing, and spending this holy month to please the almighty Allah.

History and Importance of the Holy Quran - Part 2 - 0 views

  •  
    CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOLY QUR'AN: The Holy Quran is pure and the greatest gift of Allah to humanity. It's prospect is to guide human being to the right path, to arouse mankind conscience and to illuminate the human mind. It's instructions are aimed at the general welfare of human beings. Allah speaks of the Quran as a radiant light which His servants flow be on right path and never go apart from their Lord, Allah. He says: "…..but We have made the (Quran) a light, where with we guide such Our servants as We will…." It is the actual word of Allah and it is beyond human imagination to produce anything like it. Some of the Holy Prophet's (Peace be upon Him) contemporaries were the greatest masters of Arabic language, but they could not produce anything like the Quran either in content or in style. The Quran says: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support."

Egypt's New Constitution-'One Man-One Party Rule' - 0 views

  •  
    On March 20, 2011, Egyptians overwhelmingly passed a package of constitutional amendments of which the most important was the drafting of a new Constitution by a new Parliament. The vote followed a Constitutional declaration made by the transitional government headed by the Egyptian military under a body called SCAF i.e. the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. The submission of constitutional amendments to popular referendums is not unusual in Egypt but it was the feeling that these were perhaps the first ever free and fair elections since 1956 that elicited an overwhelming participation by the Egyptian public.

The Pillars of Islam and their meaning - 0 views

  •  
    One of the Pillars of Islam is prayer and this is what will enable you to keep ion having faith in God. According to the Islamic faith, every Muslim from all over the globe needs to practice the prayer rituals every day. They need to pray five times a day during the listed times. The five prayers are different and one needs to know the procedure they will use when they are praying. Before one starts to pray, they are required to do the religious cleansing with water, place the mat in the direction facing Mecca and they will start the prayers. Some people do it at home and others in the office and some in the mosque. You need to find the right place that you will use to conduct these prayers. It is important for each Muslim to honor and practice these praying rituals. Another of the Pillars of Islam is the declaration of the fait. This is the strongest of all the Pillars of Islam and it all starts with the decoration that you are a Muslim. If you do not declare that you are a Muslim, it means that you are not a believers. On the other hand, all these who declare that they are Muslims need to follow the teachings of Allah and this is indicated in the Quran. Every Muslim needs to testify that they believe in Allah and they will honor the deeds and the virtues of the Islamic faith. It all starts with believe and then one will end up honoring the other Pillars of Islam.

Islamic Culture as a Unique Way of Life - 0 views

  •  
    The Muslim Culture has become a very important way of life in the lives of many. It is a life that some even live up to without realizing it is a part of their lives. Living up to the Muslim way of life involves a number of aspects in ones life; this involves the way that one eats, talks, and even dress. It is more than just the religious aspect of the religion. The Muslim society is guided by the same principles thus it cannot be said that specific standards apply to a certain area and the standards are different in another area. The book that governs their laws is one, which is the Quran. When one gets to learn Muslim culture, they will only find small traits to vary from an area to another according to the local customs of the region. The Muslim community has grown to spread all over the world. There are now the communities that speak different languages but what unites the Muslim community together is the language that they share which is the religion. It is for this that the principles that they stick to as the culture is one.

Pervez Hoodbhoy, Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and Battle for Rationality Dr. ... - 0 views

  • Al-Ghazali’s Views on Cause-Effect Relation and Free Will  One reason al-Ghazali is put squarely against rationality is Hoodbhoy’s understanding of the term. Following Nietzshe, Hoodbhoy defines “rationality” as “a matrix of connections which assigns cause to effect”. In this form, the definition can hardly exclude any one from rationality, since almost every human being, from the primitive man living in jungles to the most sophisticated researcher, in some way accepts the validity of cause and effect relationship. Even animals must at some level have a notion of this relationship, for otherwise they could not function as living organisms. The difference lies in the degree to which the relationship is viewed as deterministic or necessary. Hoodbhoy often seems to assume -- and make part of rationality -- a strictly deterministic connection, that is, every event (with the possible exception of the big bang?) can be assigned a set of causes that uniquely determine that event. The problem with this view of rationality is that it has identified rationality with a particular position on the cause-effect relationship. A satisfactory definition of rationality, however, should leave room for questioning all positions including a position on the cause-effect relationship. The irreducible minimum of such a definition should consist only of: a) a belief in the general intelligibility of the universal order, b) some rules of logic, and c) use of observations and experiments in validating all models of the universe. 
  • If one must connect rationality and the acceptance of a cause and effect relation, the connection should be expressed in probabilistic terms. One could, for example, say: Rationality assigns probabilities to possible effects resulting from a given set of causes, consistent with whatever observations we do possess and whatever analysis of those observations we are able to conduct. We become irrational when we assign probabilities (including 0 and 1) to effects without regard to available observations.  To get back to our author, Hoodbhoy condemns al-Ghazali for denying that the cause-effect relationship is sufficient for explaining events in the universe and for accepting the belief in predestination. What Hoodbhoy fails to realize is that even if these positions are wrong, they are not irrational or against science, since logic and science cannot prove them false. Al-Ghazali said that “the conjunction (al-‘iqtiran) between what is conceived by way of habit (fi al-‘adah) as cause and effect is not necessary (laysa daruriyyan).”  Many centuries later the philosopher David Hume will argue a similar position. This position can also be justifiably derived from modern quantum physics, which admits the possibility that a given state of the universe may lead in any future moment of time one of several possible states. If so, then just as al-Ghazali said, cause-effect relationship is not necessary. 
  • As for al-Ghazali’s belief in predestination, it can be justified by the assumption, perfectly reasonable, that human thoughts and actions are events in the universe and are subject to laws according to which the universe functions. This leads to two possibilities.  First, we may assume a deterministic universe in the sense that there are laws, discoverable through science, according to which one state of the universe completely determines all future states. In particular, all human activities are completely predetermined by the past states of the universe. There is nothing inherently irrational about such a deterministic view of the universe. Indeed, it is a reasonable deduction from the cause-effect relationship, so important for Hoodbhoy, and has often been assumed by philosophers and scientists, especially in the 18th and 19th century. Buoyed by the initial successes of science to explain the data available at the time, some scientists believed that everything that happens in the universe, including human feelings, thoughts, choices, and actions can be explained, at least in theory, in terms of the motions of various particles in the human body and elsewhere in the universe and therefore can be predicted, at least in theory, using some boundary conditions and the mathematical equations of physics. There is no real difference between this view and the belief in predestination, except that the term “predestination” suggests that human actions are predetermined not by some boundary conditions and mathematical laws but by some intelligent agent or God.

  • Second, we may assume a non-deterministic universe of the type described by quantum physics. In this case, we can reasonably argue that while a given state is not completely determined by the past states according to the laws discoverable by science, it is nevertheless uniquely determined in the sense that “it will be what it will be, and could not be anything else”. This is again equivalent to predestination.  Hoodbhoy again and again stresses the importance of belief in the freedom of will and in a strict cause-effect relationship. But there is a contradiction between the two beliefs. For, if a free exercise of human will is an event within the observable universe, it cannot be assigned a sufficient cause, for otherwise it cannot be “free” in any reasonable sense. On the other hand, if free will operates somewhere outside the observable universe, then the actions resulting from this operation of will, which clearly take place within the observable universe, cannot be assigned a sufficient cause within that universe. In either case the belief in freedom of will implies that there are events in the observable universe that cannot be assigned sufficient causes within that universe, that is, we cannot at the same time affirm belief in the freedom of will and belief in a strict cause-effect relationship governing the observable universe.
