Doubting Leads to Disbelief
Doubt is the opposite of certainty and is a serious disease of the heart. Once it becomes deep-rooted, it destroys the Muslim's soul through hesitation, suspicion and obsessive diffidence. It also prevents the Muslim from achieving his aims because it makes him unable to make a decision or adopt an opinion; rather it renders him constantly bewildered.. More -
Kindness to Neighbors
“Choose your neighbor before choosing your residence,” is a widespread Arabic proverb that means that it is according to the value and merit of the neighbor that the price of the residence should be estimated. A good neighbor is a source of happiness. The Virtue of Being Kind to one’s Neighbor in Islam Islam considers the rights.. More -
Common mistakes made during Jumu'ah
Many of us go to the Masjid on Friday as a matter of tradition and habit, without making the intention of worship, whereas an intention is a precondition for the Jumu'ah prayer (the weekly congregational prayer held in Masjids every Friday) and all other acts of worship. Increasingly, we see people staying up late, which causes them to miss Fajr prayer.. More -
Horrors in Hama
A trainee doctor tells of the bloodshed he witnessed during the Syrian army's siege of the city of Hama. The three young men were running to the Horany hospital to give blood when several shots rang out and 18-year-old Talha Khamees fell to the ground, his own dark blood spilling from the hole where his left eye used to be. As he lay sprawled on the.. More -
The battle of Badr, 17 Ramadan - I
At the beginning of the month of Ramadan, 2 AH, news came to Al-Madeenah that a Makkan caravan was coming from Syria which would pass by Al-Madeenah. In order to instill fear in the disbelievers and also to reply to Kurz ibn Jaabir's attack, the Prophet, sallalahu alayhi wa sallam, (may Allah exalt his mention) asked a party of the Muhajireen (immigrants)..

The battle of Badr, 17 Ramadan - II
Now the disbelievers launched a full-scale attack and the Muslim troops also moved forward to face their enemies. Both sides showed great valor. As the day of Badr drew towards its close, the defeated disbelievers fled the battlefield leaving behind seventy men slain and seventy as prisoners. When the fighting started, the Prophet, sallalahu alayhi.. More -
Kashmir: The forgotten conflict
Since the partition of India and Pakistan, Kashmir's voice has been largely ignored. It's a question as old as you want it to be, but one that it is alive today, six decades after the decolonization of the Indian subcontinent left Kashmir divided between India and Pakistan, clearly suggesting that Kashmiris themselves have not even been asked. Or been.. More -
168 Children Murdered by US Drones
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) last month began to publish their findings in a study of the U.S. drone war in Pakistan. The study found that much higher rates of civilian casualties had resulted from the U.S. drone war than had been admitted by the government or than had been reported in the press. As I blogged about at the time, just.. More -
Modified killer T-cells wipe out leukemia: US study
A breakthrough therapy to modify patients' T-cells into potent tumor-killing agents has helped three leukemia sufferers stay cancer-free for a year, US researchers said Wednesday. The findings are the first to show how gene transfer therapy can make specialized T-cells, which guard the body from infection, that attack cancerous tumors in advanced cases.. More -
Islamophobia, Zionism and the Norway massacre
In a Washington Post op-ed last week, Abraham Foxman, the National Director of the Anti Defamation League, likened the hateful ideology that inspired Anders Behring Breivik to massacre 77 innocent people in Norway to the "deadly" anti-Semitism that infected Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries. This is a parallel that I, and many others.. More -
Syria: Violence in the dark
When widespread protests broke out in Syria in March, President Bashar al-Assad's regime turned to its feared security services to smother the anti-government movement. The bloody response has so far succeeded where other attempts to put down the "Arab awakening" have failed, and President Assad remains in power. Verifying the toll of the.. More -
Blaming Muslims - yet again
With at least 92 people dead and several injured, the brutality of Friday's attacks in Norway left the country reeling. But who to blame for the bomb blast that tore through Oslo's government district and the shooting spree that left scores of teenagers dead at a youth summer camp in nearby Utoya? Moments after the explosion that, as of Saturday night,.. More -
Hidden bombs hit Libyans
The conflict in Libya will continue to take its toll on communities long after the war has ended as long as hidden bombs remain scattered across public areas. Fifteen-year-old Misrata resident Mohammed lost most of his left hand and sustained shrapnel injuries to his abdomen in April after an unexploded ordnance found near his house detonated in his..

The camp, located in the northeast and the world's largest in the world, is overflowing with tens of thousands of refugees.. More -

Defectors of Syria’s security forces have described receiving orders from their superiors to fire live rounds at protesters to disperse them, according to Human Rights Watch.
