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.

Being accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with

- Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not inform of whom Hellfire is forbidden for? Or he is forbidden for Hellfire? It is forbidden for someone who is accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with." [Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Ahmad] الشرح Shall I not inform you of whom Hellfire is forbidden to burn? It is forbidden for he who is accessible to people, who sits with them in the places of worship, and treat them kindly to the best of his ability; and he who is forbearing, lenient, and tolerant in dealing with them.

Little attention however, has been paid to a comprehensive probe into the decline of educational standards across the Muslim world. Consequently, the combined scholastic productivity of Muslims remains at the lowest rung" "Muslim scholarship constitutes an asset. We must therefore, devote ourselves to continually enhance its value not only for the Ummah but for the entire world to the ideals of a free, democratic, and just society". "The Ummah and its people’s desire to catch up with the developed world and enjoy high and truly human standards of living, education, and health is an aspiration that continues to be unfulfilled".

Quran Juz 1 – Alif Laam Meem - Summary

Quran Juz 1 – Alif Laam Meem Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J14FpM5kWL0IABAtM0SnRW • Surah Fatiha: Fatiha means opener. It comes first as per the sequence in the Quran, but fifth in terms of revelation. • As per a hadith in Tirmidhi, the likes of Surah Fatiha doesn’t exist in the previously revealed books. • Fatiha miraculously accumulates all the 5 topics that the entire Quran deals with. They are: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) & Risalah (prophethood), Hereafter, Shariah rules, beautiful ending of the followers of the Qur’anic world order, and the dreadful end to the opposers of it! Hence the reason we’re obliged to recite the essence of Quran – Surah Fatiha in every Ruku of the prayers. • It also has other names like Surah Kanz, Al-Hamd, Munajaat, Al-Sawal etc. • Surah Baqarah: Prophet Muhammed ﷺ said that Sahytan doesn’t enter the h...

Dr Robert Crane now a Pious Muslim named as Farooq Abdul Haq- A Phd in International law, a US Preseident's Ex Advisor, to a Pious Muslim story:

Former US President Richard Nixon’s adviser is Robert Crane. He holds: Doctorate in Public Law. • PhD in International Law. • President of the Harvard Society of International Law. He later became President Nixon's foreign affairs adviser. He was also the Deputy Director of the US National Security Council. • He is considered an expert in Political Affairs in the United States. • He is founder of the Center for Civilization and Modernization in the United States. He speaks fluently in six living languages. What's the story? One day President Nixon wanted to read about "Islamic Principles and Rules", so he asked CIA to prepare a research paper on the subject for him. 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...

Rank of women:

The Prophet ( Saw ) ﷺ was born in the lap of a woman. He was delicately wrapped up and nursed by a woman. The first person to see his beautiful and illuminated smile was a woman. When his mother passed away in Abwa, he tearfully came back to Makkah with a woman. When he returned from Hira, the first person who covered him was a woman and the first person he spoke to was a woman. A woman was the first to believe in him. A woman was the first to pray with him. A woman was the first to die for him. When he delivered khutba, a woman was the first to build a minbar for him. When he left this world, he left resting his head on a woman. His lineage continued through a woman; and from his final words were, "I give you counsel that you be good to your women." So it amazes me how some of us still don't know the rank of our women.

# 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...

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...
