 PRAISE BE TO ALLAH The good you do today, they often will forget tomorrow; do good anyway. If you find serenity and happiness,  they may be jealous and scorn;  be joyous anyway. If you find serenity and happiness,  they may be jealous and scorn;  be joyous anyway. What you spend years building, they may destroy overnight; build anyway. If you are honest and frank, they may cheat you; be forthright anyway Sadly, the ego is like a hearty weed. Just when you think you have it licked, it sprouts right back up again. We must remember that God is the only one who really can do anything—including killing our ego. However, it is us who must make the initial decision to improve ourselves. Every time we take ourselves to task for not being as eager to work righteousness, for not being straightforward, for backsliding, for falling into gossip or vain talk, we are killing our ego. Every time we make a mistake, then repent and try to make amends, we are killing our ego. Eve...

 Why Was the Quran Revealed in Arabic? Arabic is the most efficient language in the world, especially when it comes to the precise statement of laws. Since the Quran is a Statute Book, it was crucial that such laws must be clearly stated. God chose Arabic for His Final Testament because of the obvious reason that it is the most suitable language for that purpose. Arabic is unique in its efficiency and accuracy. For example, the word "they" in English does not tell you if "they" are males or females. In Arabic there is a "they" for the males, "HUM," and a "they" for the females, "HUNNA." There is even a "they" for two males, "HUMAA," and a "they" for two females, "HAATAAN." This feature does not exist in any other language in the world. I came to appreciate this efficiency of the Arabic language when I translated, for example, 2:228. This verse enjoins the divorcee to give up her own wish...

Abraham: Original Messenger of Islam                                                                                                        Original Messenger of Islam Another proof of divine preservation of the Islamic practices given to Abraham is the "Universal Acceptance" of such practices. There is no dispute concerning the number of Rak`ahs in all five daily prayers. This proves the divine preservation of Salat. The Quran's mathematical code confirms the number of Rak`ahs in the five prayers 2, 4, 4, 3, and 4, respectively. The number 24434 is a multiple of 19. Due to a general unawareness of the fact that Abraham was the original messenger of Islam, many so-called Muslims challenge God: "If the Quran is complete and fully de...

  November 17, 2014 at 11:53 AM · [63:1] 6x3=18+1=19 When the hypocrites come to you they say, “We bear witness that you are the messenger of GOD.” GOD knows that you are His messenger, and GOD bears witness that the hypocrites are liars. [21:87] And Zan-Noon (Jonah, “the one with an `N' in his name”), abandoned his mission in protest, thinking that we could not control him. He ended up imploring from the darkness (of the big fish's belly): “There is no god other than You. Be You glorified. I have committed a gross sin.” 13:30] We have sent you (O Rashad) to this community, just as we did for other communities in the past. You shall recite to them what we reveal to you, for they have disbelieved in the Most Gracious. Say, “He is my Lord. There is no god except He. I put my trust in Him alone; to Him is my ultimate destiny.” In fact, every single messenger of God, without any exception, came with the same straightforward message: God's Messenger of the Covenant also preached...
