Chapter five verse 32 of the Holy Quran contains a beautiful moral passage, one which is clear in its message, and powerful with its delivery. But sadly, though not too surprisingly, critics of Islam love to make the claim that this verse is irrelevant to Muslims living today, and that the main moral is valid to only one specific nation.

[002:156] Surely we are Allah’s and to Him we shall surely return
As-Sallamu-Alaykom my dear brothers and sisters
As I am sure you are all aware of, one of our great leaders within the Islamic and Arab world Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlullah (May Allah grant him mercy) has passed away and returned unto his lord. (more…)
The status of Fatima al-Zahara within the religion of Islam has been documented thoroughly in both Sunni and Shia texts; with that said, it is still very sad to see Muslims until this very day elevating other female individuals over the status of Fatima al-Zahara. And it is for that very reason that I deem it necessary to write an article on her status, primarily from the texts of our Sunni brothers and sisters in order to prove once and for all that Fatima al-Zahara is indeed a shining light in Islam, and a role model for all to follow.

Imam Hussein(as) “Death with dignity is better than life with Humiliation”
Salaamu alaykum wa rhmatallahu wa barkatu. Since the time of the Prophet Muhammad(saw) the grandson of the prophet, Imam Hussein(as) has been honored for his great tragedy in Karbala. The purpose of this piece will be to shed some light on the reason WHY. Tens of millions of people have visited the shrine of Imam Hussein(as) to pay tribute to this unbelievable man, even if it called for them to endure severe hardships. I have presented a brief bio on his birth, Quranic reference that shows the prophecy told of him in Karbala, traditions narrated about the Lord of the Martyrs and finally hopefully help you understand the significances of his remarkable sacrifice in Karbala.

As-Sallamu-Alaykom dear brothers and sisters,
One of the most controversial topics when it comes to Sunni and Shia dialogue is the discussion of ‘Ilmu ‘l-ghayb (who has it, has anyone been shown any aspect of it etc).
My personal experience with Sunni Muslims and Salafies has caused me to categorise them (those who I debate on this topic) into two categories.
BAGHDAD — A suicide car bomb devastated a Shiite mosque in northern Iraq, one of a series of attacks Friday that killed at least 37 Shiite pilgrims and worshippers, police and medical officials said. . (more…)

As-Sallamu-Alaykom to all of our readers,
In today’s article we will examine the issue of Taqiyya with three main objectives:
We will first learn about Taqiyya (when is it applicable, what is the definition etc), secondly we will seek to prove its legitimacy from the Holy Quran, and finally examine the issue from the perspective of Sunni Muslim’s most authentic book and see if Taqiyya has ever been performed throughout Islamic history.
