Unique Islam

Suicide is suicide. How you commit it or why you commit it, is not the matter. Either you commit it by bombing, or by being hopeless, it will remain the same "SUICIDE". . Some people try to give their own explanation to support suicide bombing and try to give different other names in place of "Suicide". Some anti-islamic websites also try to give their self-explanation as commiting suicide by bombing is allowed. . But the fact is a fact. It will not be changed. Suicide how you commit, why you commit and whatever name you give to such act, do not change the matter. . Some people give their own explanation, but ***no where in the Quran and Hadith, it is clearly said that you can commit suicide.*** . Allah says in the Quran, . "...And do not kill yourselves [or one another]...." (The Noble Quran, 4:29) . "....make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good." (The Noble Quran, 2...

Quran says in several places that the disbelievers are deaf, dumb and blind. For example it is mentioned in the Quran, "The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand." (The Noble Quran, 2:171) . But why it says like this way? Ibn Kathir in his tafsir says, . "(And the example of those who disbelieve...), meaning, in their injustice, misguidance and ignorance, they are just like wandering animals, not understanding what they are told; if the shepherd heralds them or calls them to what benefits them, they would not understand what is actually being said to them, for they only hear unintelligible sounds." (Tafsir from Ibn Kathir) . But there remains a doubt. Why Quran is criticising the disbeliever like a way of insult? . Previously I couldn't understand this point and saw some non-muslim's objection on this matter. But...

Dr APJ Abdul Kalam was no-doubt a non muslim. Though he is claimed to be a muslim by Hindu people, but the reality is that his belief is fully similar to Hinduism's vedanta philosophy. . If you look deeply, he used to read Gita and hindu scriptures and appreciated them more than Quran and Hadith. Even he was very much delight to visit the places of Hindu swamis. . I even doubt, in his whole life, whether he understood any verse of the Quran or not!! . In his autobiography, Mr Kalam is telling, . "I **had not faintest idea of the meaning of the Arabic prayers** chanted, but I was totally convinced that they reached God." . (Wings of Fire/Strong Roots; Autobiography of APJ Abdul Kalam) . It was the time of his childhood when he had no idea about the real meaning of salah or namaz. When he asked his father about prayer, his father gave an explanation which is not Islamic at all! . "When I was old enough to ask questions, I asked my father about the relev...

Slavery is mentioned not only in Quran and Hadith but in Hindu scriptures and Bible too. It is even present today also that can not be fully removed from the society yet. But the people only point their fingers only to Islam. . Hindu Scripture manusmriti says, . "***There are slaves of seven kinds,*** (viz.) he who is made a captive under a standard, he who serves for his daily food, he who is born in the house, he who is bought and he who is given, he who is inherited from ancestors, and he who is enslaved by way of punishment." . (Manusmriti, 8:415) . . The Bible says, "***Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.*** You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Isr...

[NOTE: In this article, references are taken from Quran (for the support of the theme of this post) and Bible(for giving an example of previous prophet's or messenger's submission to Almighty God). Though here references are not taken from Hindu scriptures, yet the theme of this post is comparable to Hinduism and other religions also] . Allah says in the glorious Quran, . "The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account."(Quran, 3:19) . So, Quran says that islam is the only religion from the Creator, but why? Let us see. . There is a misconception that islam is a new religion. But it is not. "Islam" the word has come from arabic word "salaam" which means "peace", it has also come from the root word "silm" which means ...

Karma is a kind of yoga. So it is called “karma yoga”. Karma has three criteria: 1. The person who is performing this yoga, has to think that ‘I am not doing anything, the God is making me to do works as I am just a part of nature which  is making me to do works and nature is the part of param atma or supreme soul who is actually God’. “One who is, however, taking pleasure in the self, who is illumined in the self, who rejoices in and is satisfied with the self only, fully satiated-for him there is no duty.” (Bhagabat Gita, 3:17) “The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself to be the doer of activities, which are in actuality carried out by nature.” (Bhagabat Gita, 3:27) 2. The karma yogi has to do works but has to remove the desire of the results of works because krishna explains in bhagabat gita that deeds are not the cause of suffering for mankind. The desire coming f...
