Islamic Study

Just taken some plan to make myself productive and precise as a Muslim. I've finished downloading contents of "Establishing the Prayer: Fiqh of Formal Prayer", "Usool of Tafseer", "Usool al Hadith","Fiqh of Marriage" from Islamic Online University.

I have realized that our Deen Islam can be established really by acquiring knowledge deeply and employing that perfectly in life in every moments. So, this will be the first approach. Next step is -- what I will learn and realize, I shall be writing them in simplest language for my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters to go through as reminder. 

I realize these days: what will go with us after death --  is the DEVOTION in our heart for Allah and to establish His Deen in our lives. And of course NOT THE RESULT. We can only try our fullest, the result is to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

The West's Long War Over the Middle East -- from Kashmir Watch

The West's Long War Over the Middle East

"[We need an] Arab facade ruled and administered under British guidance and controlled by a native Mohammedan and, as far as possible, by an Arab staff.... There should be no actual incorporation of the conquered territory in the dominions of the conqueror, but the absorption may be veiled by such constitutional fictions as a protectorate, a sphere of influence, a buffer state and so on."— Lord Curzon

LOVE by Tariq Ramadan

"The love that transcends love is a love that liberates. It brings both fullness and a sense of contingency. We therefore have to teach our consciousness and our hearts to love in the absolute of the moment and in full awareness of time, to be there and to know that we will pass away"

spiritualities highlight the ambivalence and ambiguity of love; its different natures and its two faces. Love is an initiatory school in which we learn to make progress, to rise above ourselves and then to free ourselves, but it can also be a prison in which we are bound by more and more chains. We go under, get lost and eventually become totally dependent.
