There cannot be a person who is half atheist and half believer; or a person who is both honest and a liar at the same time, or pious and impious! These opposites can never meet, just like.. More -

A Ramadan Resolution
The best thing about the month of Ramadan is that it is a time of purification.

Ramadan.. More -

Obscenity – the Root of Evil and Sins
There is no doubt that a virtuous person does not find it easy to utter obscenities lest he or she expose him/herself to the Wrath of Allah The Almighty and disgrace in the eyes of people.
