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.

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

 - *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children*   In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults.   *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of.   Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:   > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

A beautiful dua which covers many aspects of our needs of here and hereafter:

*Brilliant du'a.* *I BEG OF YOU IN THE NAME OF ALLAH TO DEVOTE A FEW MINUTES AND READ AND CONTEMPLATE ON THIS LENGTHY DU'A TO THE END.* *Have you forgotten anything?* These are d a few things you may want to ask for in this blessed month of Ramadhan.

Grant me death in a state of Ibadah, that is most pleasing to You and resurrect me in the same state. Keep me free from fear, anxiety a...

کیا آپ کا بچہ کند ذہن ہے؟ جانیے لرننگ سٹائلز کے بارے میں!

کیا آپ کا بچہ کند ذہن ہے؟ جانیے لرننگ سٹائلز کے بارے میں! بچوں کے کم یا زیادہ ذہین ہونے کا تعلق ان کے والدین کی تعلیمی قابلیت یا ان کی پیدائش سے بالکل نہیں ہے جب تک بچہ پیدائشی طور پر کسی ایسی بیماری کا شکار نہ ہو جس کی وجہ سے سیکھنے کے عمل پر منفی اثر پڑ سکتا ہو۔ پھر کچھ بچے تدریسی عمل کے دوران کیوں جلدی سیکھ جاتے ہیں جبکہ کچھ کو وہی سبق سیکھنے یا یاد کرنے میں مشکلات کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے؟  اس سوال کا تعلق تعلیمی نفسیات سے ہے جو ایک باقاعدہ سائنس ہے اور اساتذہ کے ہر تعلیمی اور تربیتی نصاب میں اس پر باقاعدہ بات ہوتی ہے۔ تعلیمی نفسیات کے مطابق بر بچے کا لرننگ اسٹائل دوسرے سے مختلف ہوتا ہے۔ ہمارے تعلیمی نظام کا ایک مسلہ یہ بھی ہے کہ اساتذہ ان الگ الگ لرننگ اسٹائلز سے واقف نہ ہونے یا دوران تدریس ان کا خیال نہ رکھنے کی وجہ سے سب بچوں کو ایک ہی طریقے سے پڑھانا شروع کر دیتے ہیں۔ جس کی وجہ سے کچھ بچوں کو بات سمجھ میں آجاتی ہے جبکہ کچھ اسے سمجھنے سے قاصر رہتے ہیں۔ اس طرح بچوں کو ذہین یا کند ذہن لیبل کر دیا جاتا ہے۔ اصل صورت حال اس سے بہت مختلف ہے۔ اس کے لیے یہ سمجھنا ہوگا کہ لرننگ اسٹائلز ...

About Hell, Hell fire- Jahannam ki tafseel :

 July 30 - 2021. Today's learning: (The original speech was in urdu, after that it is translated into English text by Mohsin sir) Surath Al -Kahf.Chapter 18- verse:29.  *Hell explanation: (Jahannam ki tafseel):*  By Islamic interpreters.(Mufassireen e Islam).  *Brief description of the verse:*  When the truth is revealed then it is upon the people whether to accept it or reject it.If they accept it then it's good for them and if they reject it then there's a torment of blazing fire for them.  *Inference:* Here the humans who had being given the free will(ikhtiyaar) act according to their own whims and desires.Angels don't have this kind of choice with them only the jinns(one of the creation of Allah with fire) and the humans have this free will option.  *Consequences of the free will:*  Allah has revealed all the ways of guidance in his final book.Those who don't accept and practice they would be sent to the hell.

You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of Allāh.

*I post this with tears in my eyes.* This is a Khutbah which was Given by one Ustaz from Osogbo, osun  (Nigeria) What a touching KHUTUBAH please if time allows you  read it. It's worth a Reminder; Published as received. "Every human is a slave. You're either a  slave of your desires or a slave of Allāh. You either live life by your rules or the rule of Allāh. How can the heart travel to God if it's chained by its desires? O' son of Adam! Sell this World for the hereafter and you win both, sell the hereafter for this world & you lose both. #DeenOverDunya Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah Islam is not a buffet where you pick and choose what suits you. Don't obey your desires. Obey Allaah. "Imprisoned is he, whose heart is imprisoned from Allāh. Captured is he, who is captured by his desires." Fudayl Ibn Iyad was asked "What do you find the strangest of all things?" He said: The heart that knows Allāh, yet still disobeys Him 😢 ...

Why Pork (pig meat) is Haram in Islam? Some scientific observations:

Why Pork is Haram in Islam ~ In the Qur'an Allah has forbidden pork. Do you know that pork is forbidden by Jews, and its forbidden in Bible too. 15 Things You Should Know About Pigs: 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins re...

Eid Mubarak: Beyond the Festivities, Towards a Lifetime of Reflection:

 - ##  Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones! As the crescent moon graces the sky, marking the end of Ramadan, we are filled with joy, gratitude, and a sense of spiritual renewal. The month of fasting, prayer, and reflection has drawn to a close, leaving behind a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences and strengthened faith.

We've nurtured patience, empathy, and a deeper connection with our spiritual selves. We've learned the power of self-discipline and the beauty of giving. However, the true essence of Ramadan lies not just in the month itself, but in the lasting impact it has on our lives. The spirit of generosity, the commitment to prayer, the dedication to self-improvement – these are not fleeting practices to be abandoned once Eid arrives. This Eid, let's make a conscious effor...

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...
