The Sealed Nectar A biography of Prophet Muhammad
A Biography of the Prophet by Saif-ur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri This book was awarded First prize by the Muslim world league at world-wide competition on the biography of the Prophet held at Makkah Al-Mukarramah in 1399H/1979.
The Quran and Modern Science
On the 9th of November, 1976, an unusual lecture was given at the French Academy of Medicine. Its title was “Physiological and Embryological data in the Qur’an”. I presented the study based on the existence of certain statements concerning physiology and reproduction in the Qur’an. My reason for presenting this lecture was because it is impossible to explain how a text produced in the seventh century could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times.

The Amazing Quran
Calling the Quran amazing is not something done only by Muslims, who have an appreciation for the book and who are pleased with it; it has been labeled amazing by non-Muslims as well. In fact, even people who hate Islam very much have still called it amazing.
Family in Islam
Since family is the basic unit of society, Islam lays great emphasis on the family system and its values. The basis of family is marriage. Islam prescribes rules to regulate family life so that both the spouses can live in tranquility, security and love. Marriage in Islam has aspects of `ibadah (worship) of Allah (God) in the sense that it is in accordance with His commandments that a husband and wife should love and help each other and rear their children to become true servants of Allah (God).
The two Eids (Islamic Holidays)
The Arabic word “Eid” refers to something habitual, that returns and is repeated, thus stands literally for a recurrent event. It also implies a place often visited by people, and the period of time in which a particular act is regularly performed. Likewise, each gathering that assembles regularly comes under the category, ‘Eid’. Eids or festivals are symbols to be found in every nation, including those that are based on revealed scriptures and those that are idolatrous, as well as others, because celebrating festivals is something that is an instinctive part of human nature. All people like to have special occasions to celebrate, where they can come together and express their joy and happiness.
A Social Vision
The religion of Islam is a comprehensive system of life, completed by Allah through the medium of sending the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to all mankind. The philosophy that underlines the legislation of Islam is that of perfect balance between individual and collective responsibility. In other words, there are individual duties and there are societal duties, and the two go hand in hand. Humans are social beings by nature, and as such must be integrated into societies. For this reason, scholars of old have said that rectification of the world lies in two important elements: a system that governs society as a whole, and components of the same system that result in individual peace.
Scientific Evidences in the Quran
This information given in the Qur’an is in full agreement with the findings of contemporary science. The conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is that the entire universe, together with the dimensions of matter and time, came into existence as a result of a great explosion that occurred in no time. This event, known as “The Big Bang” produced the entire universe about 15 billion years ago, creating it from nothingness as the result of the explosion of a single point. Modern scientific circles are in agreement that the Big Bang is the only rational and provable explanation of the beginning of the universe and of how the universe came into being.

The Islamic Creed
In view of the fact that the true Aqidah, or creed, is the foundation of Islam, I have decided on The Authentic Creed and the Invalidators of Islam as a title for the present treatise. It is evident from texts of the Noble Qur’aan and the Sunnah that a persons words and deeds will not be accepted unless they emanate from a true creed.
Fasting and its Rulings
Fasting is one of the aspects of worship that is done entirely for Allaah, in which a Muslim responds to the rulings of his Lord – the One, the Only – by abstaining from food, drink and sexual intercourse with his wife during the day of his fast, believing that this abstaining is obedience to Allaah.
Book of Knowledge
This treatise is comprised of a collection of ahaadeeth (sayings of the Prophet) and athaar (sayings of the Salaf) on the subject of Islaamic Knowledge. By reading the various narrations, it is hoped that the reader will benefit and reflect on the merits and virtues of seeking, acquiring and teaching knowledge.
The Declaration of Faith
Since this great declaration (kalmia) of llama Zillah llama stands out amongst the various types of remembrance and because it is not merely something that is uttered by the tongue - rather it has certain rulings, conditions, meanings and requirements attached to it - I decided to choose this kalmia as the subject of my discussion. I hope that Allah the Exalted makes us all from amongst those people who cling firmly to it; recognize its true meaning; and act in accordance with its requirements, both inwardly and outwardly

50 Questions + Answers on Islamic Monotheism
50 questions on Islamic Monotheism is focused on the basic questions that concerns about the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed) and its attributes such as the Tawheed al Rububiya “Oneness of Lordship” Tawheed al Uloohiya “Oneness of Worship” Furthermore it also focuses on different types of faith “Iman”.
The Basis of Islamic Belief
While all the prophets have their signs, Moses had the competition with the magicians and the Pharaoh, Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead and so on, one sign was given to the last of the prophets. According to the Muslims, this is the Quran. And this one Sign is still with us. Does not that after all seem fair, that if prophethood is to end that the last prophet should bring something that stays with us so that, in fact, a Muslim who takes his religion seriously suffers no disadvantage to Muslims who lived fourteen centuries ago?
Respond to the Call to Prayer
All praise is due to Allah alone; may He send salutations and exalt the mention of the seal of all Prophets and Messengers, our Propjet Muhammad, his family and all his companions. Prayer holds a high rank and great position in Islam. It is important as the head is to the human body; just like a body can not be established without prayer.
The Muslims supplication
By making dua, (supplication)success becomes a reality; wishes and aims are achieved. Therefore, dua is a form of worship, in fact it is one of the most honorable and glorious forms of worship.
Islam ideology for the future
Any objective study of the history of mankind will show that man cannot but pose the questions: Where do we come from? Why am I here? Where do I go from here? These unavoidable questions make a philosopher of each of us, whether we know it or not. The search for the answers to these fundamental issues have produced many different myths, foundational legends, and other visions. In the end, these visions attempt at interpreting the world - developed into religions proper.

Morning + Evening Supplications
Abdullah bin Khubaib narrates that one dark, gloomy, rainy night, we came out in search of Rasulullah (P.B.U.H.). When we finally found him he said to us: Read! We asked: What must we read? He replied: Recite Surah al Ikhlas - Surah al Falaq - Surah an Nas - 3 times in the morning and evening. It will suffice for you against all evil things Mishkat P.188(witchcraft, blackmagic, mischief of jin, etc.).
The Book of Marriage
A myth that western culture believes is that Islam teaches oppression of women. A woman’s youth, clothes, habits, marriage, motherhood, etc, are all in subjugation. This is hideously false. Islam teaches that a woman’s role in the house is that of royalty, dignity and respect. Sadly many Muslims adopting customs native to their birthplace, have shown their bad habits and mannerisms as representative of Islam whereas this is not the case.
The words of the Prophet
Actions performed by the prophet (P.B.U.H.) recommended by him and even those actions which were performed in his presence which did not meet his disapproval are known as the sunnah. His ideology and mannerism are also understandably termed as the sunnah.
40 Hadiths Regarding the Virtues of Women
In the ahadith reference is made of the merit, praise and glad tidings of virtuous women. Ahadith of the beloved Nabi (P.B.U.H.)regarding the respect, partiality and consideration to be shown to them and whose study is equally necessary for pious men whereby they may recognize and appreciate the rights of their wives. By fulfilling their rights, one can attain the pleasure of this world and the next. Women, too, should make this true and natural religion, which has given them a distinct place and honour, completely theirs.
A gift for women
Certain Islamic laws are directed exclusively at women. But these same laws are what women are not aware of, not because of ignorance but because of modesty and shyness, which prevent them from asking others about these laws. Unfortunately, men also pay very little attention to such laws, because they are not affected by them directly. Thus, these laws have been compiled in the form of a booklet under separate headings. Such a booklet is greatly needed.
ISLAM UNCOVERED ™ : Hajj, a journey of a lifetime. By Dr. Khadija Watson
Hajj is a pilgrimage to the sacred House in Mecca where you find the Kaba. This is the focal point and direction of prayer five times a day for Muslims all over the world. The location of Mecca is in Saudi Arabia .
Human Rights in Islam: By Syed Abul Ala Maududi
This is a brief sketch of those rights which fourteen hundred years ago Islam gave to man, to those who were at war with each other and to the citizens of its state, which every believer regards as sacred as law. On the one hand, it refreshes and strengthens our faith in Islam when we realize that even in this modern age which makes such loud claims of progress and enlightenment, the world has not been able to produce just and more equitable laws than those given 1400 years ago.
ISLAM UNCOVERED ™ : The Hajj: By Khadija Watson

The location of Mecca is in Saudi Arabia . Mecca is also found in the Old Testament of the Bible, referred to by its ancient name of Bekka. This is not to be confused with the place in modern day Jordan by the same name.
ISLAM UNCOVERED ™ : When it is hard being a Muslim : By Khadija Watson
Now days it is not easy being a Muslim. It means that one must know their religion which is not only knowing who Allah is but also knowing how to live Islam everyday. Allah has not only left us with the holy Quran but also the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He (Allah) says in the Holy Quran: It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into a plain error. (Surah Al-Ahzab: 36)

12 proofs that Muhammad is a true prophet
My brothers and sisters everywhere! You should know that the Messenger, Muhammad the son of `Abdullah (may Allahs blessings and peace be upon him) is Allahs Messenger in reality and truth. The evidences that show his veracity are abundant. None but an disbeliever, who out of arrogance alone could deny these signs.
The Day of Judgment
We believe in the resurrection, which is Allahs bringing to life all those who have died, and when Israfil shall blow the horn for the second time: And the trumpet shall be blown, and all who are in the heavens and who are in the Earth shall fall down fainting, except those that Allah shall spare. Then, it shall be blown again and they shall rise gazing around them (39:68). People will arise from their graves, answering the call of the Lord of the universe. They will be barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised: As We started the first creation, so We shall bring it back again. A promise from Us, so We shall assuredly fulfill it (21: 104).
