WHY RELIGION? WHY ISLAM? WHY NOT JUST HUMANITY?

By: Sabiha Saifi





Once while driving, a cop appeared in front of my car and stopped me and charged Rs 2,000 as fine! I was incomplete shock as to why he is charging this fine from me? I was driving so perfect, neither did I cross my speed limit (which could harm anyone) nor was I too slow. I was in my lane, my car was in perfect condition; I was wearing my seat belt too. I was having all the required documents with me. Then, what went wrong? I questioned the cop.

This world is in need of Strangers

By: Rameeza Shaikh

We know that the world we live in has got many problems. Small or big, natural or man made. In fact, we mankind are responsible for most of the problems because almost everything is a consequence of what our hands have sent forth or left behind. Have a wide picture of the real world. The truth is that this world has become a place of business with its priority being the making of profit, while it should have been Justice. Because concern about profit leads to selfishness whereas Justice itself is unbiased and selfless. This concern about profit is what makes people greedy and leads them to do bad things.

Islah and brotherhood in Islam

By: Rameeza Shaikh

‘Islaah’ means to improve, correct, rectify or repair. In Islamic terminology, ‘Islaah’ means correcting a Muslim or providing more knowledge of Islam to a Muslim (Ref: Shaykh Jalaaluddin Qasmi).

Allah (swt) has made believers as an Ummah. Muslims are related to each other not by blood but by the belief of Lailaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship but Allah). Our brotherhood should be as strong as our belief in Lailaha illallah is!

Did you call out for any “chotu” today? - The hidden face of Child Labour

By: Rameeza Shaikh

These two words "child" and "labour" when used together, we all recognize it as somethingillegal but do we consider that child labour is something wrong? Think again, do we really look down upon child labour? No. Because we are the same people who go down the road to our nearest shop and call out for "chotu" to vend us the products we want. And we are aware of the fact that there are many "chotus" in our city and our country. My college canteen has a child worker. I saw him some time back when he was cleaning a table. And I really wondered if I'm really inside an education firm?

AL-HAQQAH: The Inevitable Reality

By: Rameeza Shaikh

Allah(SWT) refers to the Day of Judgment with several different names, one of which is Al-Haqqah, which means The Inevitable Reality, an event which cannot be avoided. The surah number 69 of Glorious Quran is titled as Al-Haqqah. It is one of my favorite surahs. Apart from the beautiful use of words, it has got a strong message. Scientists today agree that this world will come to an end though no one knows when except the Almighty God.
