A short note on the Ideal Muslim society:

By Gufraan,

The Ideal Muslim society:

Hazrat Umar (r.a.) period 's society was an ideal. His was a society in which true freedom existed. Hazrat Umar (r.a.) did not pray in the church in Jerusalem simply because he did not want to give the later Muslims an excuse to take the church. In the History of Muslim civilization we see that even slaves have risen to high positions in the government as well as become great scholars of their era. Such an equal civilization & pure system of belief naturally spread to distant lands at an astonishing pace. In some places it spread through businessmen landing on Indian shores of Malabar and the south-east Asian countries & in some places it spread through brilliant scholars & great sufi saints who displayed remarkable nobility & integrity of character.

Infact the Golden age between 700 AD & 1500 AD was a civilization which established an equitable, egalitarian, prosperous, tolerant and educated society based on divinely ordained principles of spirituality, morality & justice in half of the known world. From the crucibles of scientific innovation in the universities of Toledo in Spain to the vast & varied libraries of Baghdad the Muslims along with Jews and Christians in Muslim lands were the pioneers in all fields of education in the time when Europe was reeling in the dark ages.

However there was no dilution of fundamental creed whatsoever. The city state of Madina during the time of the Prophet s.a.w. was truly secular in spirit inspite of its recognition of distinct identities. It gave the minorities the right to exercise not only personal but also criminal laws according to their canonical codes of jurisprudence. Oriental versions of History that revere amalgamation of creeds are often convoluted and pregnant with distinct and often subtle indoctrination of a particular ideology.

Assigned CIA cadre wrote a detail research paper and submitted to President Nixon. But Nixon felt the paper was a bit lengthy and detailed. So he asked his adviser, Robert Crane, to read and summarize the article. Robert read the article a...

ACHIEVING TRANQUILITY - Peace here and hereafter:

- *What the Prophet(saw) Knew* The Prophet ﷺ and his companions knew something that is not often displayed today. They were able to face difficulty with a certain determination in their heart; they were grateful for even the seemingly small blessings; they took pleasure in praying at night while the people were asleep. What they knew was this: if they sought Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) they would not be let down. This is the secret to the statement of Abu Bakr radiAllah `anhu (ra) to the Prophet ﷺ during the battle of Badr, when the Prophet ﷺ was crying out to Allah (swt) in an impassioned du`a’(supplication) until his cloak fell from his shoulder. Abu Bakr (ra) said, “O Messenger of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you!” And He did- the battle was won by the Muslims. Human desires are insatiable. And for this reason, the more we chase after the dunya (physical world), the less we are sa...

Quran: we will be able to take benefit out of it, if only we read it, understand it and bring it into our lives:

- Understand this with a story: A BEGGAR WITH A TREASURE- An old woman was begging in front of a masjid. A man said to her, "Your son is capable of earning, then why are you begging here?" The woman replied, "My husband has passed away and my son went foreign for a job. While going, he had given me some money for my expenses, which I have already spent and now I have no money, that is why I am begging here." The man asked again, "Doesn't your son send you anything from the foreign country?" The old lady replied, "Yes, my son keep sending me a colourful paper every month that I keep pasting on the wall." The man then went to her house and saw that 60 bank drafts were pasted on the wall. Each draft was of ₹50,000. Not wise enough, thus she did not know how much wealth she had at her home. The man explained to her the value of the drafts and how to cash them. Our condition is also the same as that of the old woman. We have the Qur'an, we ...

Business Etiquette from Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ :

* Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ Business Etiquette* - In Islam, trade has always been recognised as an important aspect of human life. Before revelation came to Prophet ﷺ, he earned his living as a trader. His integrity and veracity were quickly noticed by his employer, Sayyida Khadijah (RA), who later married him. *★ Sadiq and Ameen* It was a result of his ﷺ honesty and noble character that he ﷺ was called as 'Sadiq' (truthful) and 'Ameen' (trustworthy) amongst the Makkans. Hazrat Abu Sufianؓ (the bitterest enemy of Islam before he accepted Islam) said: "It is inconceivable for one who has never told a lie during his whole life to invent lies against Allah ﷻ. The Makkans agreed unanimously that Allah's Messenger ﷺ was a truthful person. Once before his conversion, Yasir (ra) asked his son Ammar (ra), where he was going. Ammar (ra) said that he was going to the Prophet ﷺ. Being fully satisfied of his son's safety while with him ﷺ, he replied: "Muhammad ﷺ...

# The Invisible Foundation: How Islamic Scholarship Built the Modern West:

- The history of "Western" knowledge is often told as a straight line from Ancient Greece to the European Renaissance. However, modern scholarship reveals that this narrative has a massive "missing middle." For over five hundred years, the Islamic Golden Age did not just "preserve" ancient knowledge—it revolutionized it, creating the very empirical and logical tools the West uses today. ## 1. Beyond Preservation: The Birth of Experimentation While the Greeks excelled in deductive reasoning (thinking from general principles), Islamic scholars introduced the **inductive, experimental method**. The most prominent figure was **Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen)**. In his *Kitab al-Manazir* (Book of Optics), he rejected the Greek theory that the eye emits light. More importantly, he established that theories must be proven through controlled, repeatable experiments (Piniés, n.d.). This methodological shift is now recognized as the foundational root of the modern scient...
