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 and summarized it for the president, but the contents of the article forced Robert to do more research on Islam. So he attended Islamic seminars and conferences to learn more about the subject.

Then came the day when ROBERT Crane converted to Islam, inspired by the Islamic teachings. Word of his conversion spread throughout the USA.

After converting to Islam, he changed his Islamic name to "Farooq Abdul Haq".

Explaining the reason for converting to Islam, he says:

As a law student, I found all the laws in Islam that I studied.

I studied law at Harvard University for 3 years but I never found the word "justice" in their law, whereas

I found this word frequently in Islam.

He converted to Islam in 1981 and named himself "Farooq" after Second Caliph Omar Farooq, who was the Imam of Justice after demise of Holy Prophet (PBUH)

He said: "Once we were having a legal debate. A professor of Jewish law was also with us. When the Jewish Professors demeanor became excessive, I decided to subdue him.

I asked him: Do you know the extent of Inheritance Law in the US Constitution?

He said: Yes, he has more than eight volumes.

I said: If I bring you a Law of Inheritance which is not more than ten lines, will you believe that Islam is a true religion?

He said: It is not possible that such a long and wide law of inheritance can be summed up in just ten lines ...

I took the verses of inheritance from the Holy Quran and presented it to him.

A few days later he came to me and said: It is not possible for a human mind to cover all its close relatives so wide that it leaves no one behind and then distribute the inheritance among them so justly that didnt oppress anyone ...

Then this Jewish Professor reverted to Islam !!

Dr. Robert Crane (Farooq) is yet alive and kicking at the ripe age of 91 years. He is happily sharing the candles of Islam in America.

May Almighty Allaah light millions of Candles from his Candle!!

The Muslims in India should be like the Franciscans, who, with deep commitment, declared their convictions from the housetops rather than remaining reclusive and withdrawn from public life. That’s what Muslims should do, while eschewing violence.

A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly:

- Be honest with yourself for a moment… When you see a child struggling… angry… insecure… constantly seeking attention… do you ever stop and ask, what did they grow up around? Who was present… and who wasn’t? Who listened… and who dismissed? Who loved… and who controlled? The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just speak about worship… he spoke about responsibility. كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ Each of you is responsible… and each of you will be questioned. And Allah didn’t say fix the world. He said protect your families. قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا This is where it begins. A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly… in the way they start doubting themselves… in the way they stop feeling safe… in the way they look for love in the wrong places. So ask yourself… What is your home producing? Because one day… your child will become someone’s spouse… someone’s parent… someone who shapes the world. And whatever you planted… will not stay inside your home. Source...

Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever..

- *Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever* Prophet Muhammed ﷺ was a perfect father and a unique grandfather. He was unique in every way. He treated his children and grandchildren with great compassion, and always directed them towards goodness and hereafter. He smiled at his children, loved them, but did not allow them to neglect matters related to the afterlife. In worldly matters he was extremely open, but when it came to maintaining their relationship with God, he was dignifiedly serious. He showed his children how to lead a humane life, and never allowed them to get spoiled. It is narrated in Muslim by Hadrat Anas bin Malik (ra), who served Prophet Muhammed ﷺ for ten continuous years, as saying: “I have never seen a man who was more compassionate to his family members than Prophet Muhammed ﷺ.” All of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ sons passed away in infancy – so was Hazrat Ibraheem (ra), his son through Sayyida Maria (ra). When Hazrat Ibraheem passed away, the prophet took in ...

Its all about connection of heart:

There was a Sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (Faith), He taught them 'La ilaha illa Allah' and explained it's meaning to them. The Sheikh loved keeping pets, so he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift. And with days the Sheikh started to like the parrot. He used to take it to his lessons, until the parrot knew how to say "La ilaha illa Allah", and would utter it day and night. One day the students found their Sheikh crying and sobbing.

The Doctor, Medicine and Muslims past 1000 years:

- Muslim science par excellence was the study of medicine. Interest in medicine goes back to the very earliest times. The Prophet himself stated that there was a remedy for every illness, and was aware that some diseases were contagious. The great contribution of the Arabs was to put the study of medicine on a scientific footing and eliminate superstition and harmful folk-practices. Medicine was considered a highly technical calling, and one which required long study and training. Elaborate codes were formulated to regulate the professional conduct of doctors. It was not enough to have a mastery of one’s subject in order to practice medicine. Certain moral qualities were mandatory. Ibn Hazm said that a doctor should be kind, understanding, friendly, good, able to endure insults and adverse criticism; he must keep his hair short, and his fingernails as well; he must wear clean, white clothes and behave with dignity. Before doctors could practice, they had to...

15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread:

🌸15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread: If there is any personality that has lived on the face of this earth who was complete in every regard and the life of whom can serve as a beacon of guidance for people of every walk of life, that personality would undeniably be the personality of Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims follow Him because of Him being the Prophet as their religion and those who do not follow Islam also hold Him at a higher pedestal when it comes to human character. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Saudi Arabia in the city of Makkah about 1400 years ago. Since then the world has not seen the likes of Him in every regard and the study of human history shows that there have been none better than Him before Him as well. The key factor that brings reverence and respect to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in both the Islamic and the non-Islamic circles is His character. He was the best in character and He also said about in one of His hadith...
