What is the Muslim dilemma? Dr. Shabbir, Florida
"If you will to live as a Muslim, it is not possible to do so without the Qur'an." - Iqbal
Those who do not understand the Glorious Qur'an directly, have to depend on translations which are mostly very inadequate.
The first ever commentaries of the Qur’an were written in the third and fourth centuries after the exalted Messenger during the Abbasid Dynasty when Zoroastrian influence held sway in Islamic politics, society and even in the Arabic literature. The commentators of the Qur’an, historians, Muhadditheen (the Hadith/Tradition collectors) and Fuqaha (‘Islamic’ Jurists) overwhelmingly originated from among the non-Arab Persians.

Tony Blair’s sister-in-law announced her conversion to Islam last weekend. Journalist Lauren Booth embraced the faith after what she describes as a ‘holy experience’ in Iran.
She is just one of a growing number of modern British career women to do so. Here, writer EVE AHMED, who was raised as a Muslim before rejecting the faith, explores the reasons why.
INTRODUCTION With the Name of God the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness. Billions of people in the last millennium have loved, revered and honored Islam. Conversely, billions have hated, criticized and defamed it. As a matter of fact, the situation applies equally to any other major religion.

Muslims and Christians together constitute over 50 percent of the world. If they lived in peace, we would be half way to world peace. One small step we can take towards fostering Muslim-Christian harmony is to tell and retell positive stories and abstain from mutual demonization.
BLASPHEMY
Dictionaries define blasphemy as: Contempt of God, Claiming divinity, Desecration, Sacrilege, Profanation, Defilement, Irreverence etc.
In simple terms it means insulting someone or something considered sacred or inviolable by a community or group of people.
In a controversial report, Cristina Odone argues that traditional Muslim schools are the best means of keeping Islamic girls in education – and preventing extremism
It’s 3pm and the girls at Madani high school in Leicester are trooping out of the gates. They wear white scarves over dark blue djellabas – a shapeless coat worn over trousers. No sign of the boys: they don’t leave for another half an hour.
IQBAL AND TAQDIR
by: Dr. Mansoor Alam
Allama Iqbal has written so much about the concept of taqdir that it may require a complete book to fully explain and justify his views on this difficult issue. But in a nutshell he says: "The world of plants and animals is subject to taqdir. A Momin is subject to nothing except the orders of Allah (SW) (i.e., Quran)."

It is said that the 19th century French poet Mallarmé can only be fully understood by those who are not French, because they read him more slowly. Converts to Islam, the subject of this essay, can perhaps claim the same ambiguous advantage in their reading of the Islamic narrative.
ISLAM IS ON THE MARCH
(Dr Javed Jamil, France)
1. Despotism: At the time of the advent of Islam in 610 CE, kings and tyrants were ruling countries, nations and tribes. There was no idea of human liberty and rule of law, no concept of people having any say in the government. Islam's was the first voice against that universal exploitation of the masses.
TAGHOOT طاغوت (False Deities)
The Definition
“Taghoot” or “Taghut” is derived from the verb “taghaa” (to transgress), and it means everything that has crossed or transgressed its limit.
The first thing Allah has obligated on the Son of Adam is to reject the Taghoots and believe in Allah. The proof for this is Allah’s saying: “And We have indeed sent to every nation a messenger (saying to his people):
‘Worship Allah alone and avoid the Taghoots (false deities)” [16:36]
HIJAB & NIQAB - ONCE AND FOR ALL
Dr Shabbir Ahmed M.D.
"Veiling is the biggest impediment in the way of conveying Islam in the West." (Murad Hoffman)
There is absolutely no command in the Qur’an for women to cover their heads or conceal their faces. I might be missing something but I have not been able to find even a Hadith to that effect. A Hijabi, Niqabi woman has already committed SHIRK by obeying the clergy instead of Allah.
IQBAL AND SUFISM
Dr. Khalid Alavi
Every spiritual community has somehow faced the challenge of the existing world and worldly desires and worked out reconciliation on practical and intellectual levels. Among the spiritual communities of the world, perhaps, the Hindu masters and thinkers were the most perceptive and practical people. They divided religion into two categories and introduced practices on two levels:
