Al-Asr (The Flight of Time)

This brief surah summarizes the essence and outcome of all human activity for all time. God says: “By the flight of time, man is in total loss” (1–2).

Time goes on, and people live and die, generation after generation, and era after era. People of the same generation may live under similar circumstances and traditions, but their destinies may go in totally different directions, depending on their moral and religious beliefs. The moral quality of human life is far more important, and the truth is no less honorable or illustrious if it is recognized by a minority.

Those who deny the sovereignty and power of God shall end up as fuel of hell in the hereafter, whereas the

Miracles Of The Holy Prophet As Mentioned In Surah Fatah

Out of the predictions mentioned in the Holy Quran, one famous prediction is that which is mentioned in Surah Fatah, in connection with the treaty of Hudaibiyah. In it, Allah has declared His pleasure with all those Muslims who were giving their pledge of allegiance at the hand of the Prophet (peace be upon him) under a tree. Allah has observed in this regard in verses 18 and 19 as follows: “And He rewarded them with a speedy victory; and many gains will thy acquire (besides).”

In brief, Allah has encouraged those Muslims whom He has bestowed upon them with His pleasure and disclosed the sincerity of their hearts and granted them the spiritual satisfaction. Allah gave them tidings of conquest in the

The True Nature Of Islam

Islam is a comprehensive way of life covering every aspect of life from birth to death. It is a complete practical system in all its aspects, reflecting everyday affairs of human life. It is a religion of nature. It does not require anything from man, which is against his natural instincts. The fact that Islam is the religion of nature is stated in the words of Allah: ‘So set you (O Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam)) your face towards the religion of Hanifan (worship none but Allah) Allah’s Fitrah (i.e., True man nature: Allah’s Islamic Monotheism), with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in Khalq-illah (i.e., the Religion of Allah), that is the straight religion, but most of men know not. (Surah Ar-Rum: .30)

Gambling (Qimar)

Allah says, {O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, sacrificing to stones, and (divination by) arrows are an abomination of Satan’s handiwork: eschew such (abomination) that ye may prosper. Satan plans to stir up hostility and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling and to prevent you from remembering Allah and praying. Will you not then abstain?} (5:90-91)

Gambling connotes backgammon, chess, and speculation by nuts, balls, stones, and all kinds of betting. It ranks under encroaching upon people’s rights that Allah has made forbidden in His saying, {And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people’s property.} (2:188)

It was also referred to in the Prophetic saying, “Some people spend Allah’s wealth (i.e., Muslim’s wealth) in an

Al-Humazah (The Slanderer)

Slander is, and has been, one of the most effective weapons of propaganda used against believers throughout history. The Qur’an alludes to this behavior when it says: “The evil-doers mock the faithful and wink at one another as they pass by them” (al- Mutaffifin: 29–30). In modern times, propaganda and psychological warfare of this kind have been much more systematic and effective.
