Dr Zahid Aziz recites and gives a detailed explanation of the meaning of the first verses of chapter two of the Holy Quran called Al-Baqara (The Cow).
Apa Nisar Fatima – the Jamaat e Islami legislator and mother to Ahsan Iqbal – sitting MNA from PML-N moved in 1986 the law that became known as Blasphemy Law. She then went to the Federal Shariat Court and got a judgment which stated that death penalty can be the only punishment for blasphemy.
It has been my considered view that roots of all Islamist terrorism and extremism in Pakistan can be traced back to Majlis-e-Ahrar- which as most of you are aware was famous for calling Pakistan “Kafiristan” and Jinnah “Kafir-e-Azam”. Islamist dictator General Zia- himself from an Ahrari family – deliberately strengthened the Islamist elements from Majlis-e-Ahrar and Jamaat-e-Islami and handed the state over to them.
Apa Nisar Fatima – it turns out – was also from a distinguished Ahrari family: She was the daughter of General Zia’s old family friend Chaudhry Abdul Rehman who was a famous Ahrar agitator. Read More
Question: Do you believe in God or a universal spirit? [IF BELIEVE IN GOD, ASK]: How certain are you about this belief? Are you absolutely certain, fairly certain, not too certain, or not at all certain? [IF BELIEVE IN GOD, ASK]: Which comes closest to your view of God? God is a person with whom people can have a relationship or God is an impersonal force?
March is Women’s History Month. A new analysis of data from the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life, finds that women are more religious than men on a variety of measures.
In Islam a murder has to be seen with the eye but in the recent trial of two suspects in the Stephen Lawrence case this was not so. The conviction was based on scientific evidence so should his killers have gone free? If not why can we not apply science to sighting the moon as well. The point about “sighting” is reliability i.e. when you have the most reliable information.
Two of Allah’s attributes are Rab or master or owner of the worlds and Malik or the judge. This is the concept of accountability because a master or owner has the right to ask his employee to account for what he did and whether he damaged anything the master has given him.
This is the third and final part of our series on the Lahori Ahmadis’. In part two we discussed in more details what our beliefs are and we answered the most common criticisms against us.
In this final part we will be explaining the attitudes of the Ahmadiyya movement towards other sects and communities and towards Government.
This series has been taken from ‘The Ahmadiyya Doctrines’ by Maulana Muhammad Ali.
As the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at-i-Islam, Lahore, is carrying on its work of the defence and propagation of Islam in different countries, and its members are now met with in most of the countries where there is a Muslim population and its mission work is carried on either through such members or by establishing regular missions, and as the community and its missionaries are sometimes misrepresented and occasionally misunderstood, I have thought it necessary to add a few words to clear up our position and to explain our attitude towards other communities and sects with whom we come in contact and towards the governments under which we live.

Allah proves the teachings of the Holy Quran in many different ways. Hazrat Mirza sahib discusses a number of different ways in which the truth of the Holy Quran is proven. For example, one way is to compare the teachings of the Holy Quran with what we see in nature. We see that nature confirms what the Holy Quran says.
When faced with truth with which they disagree most people resort to saying that their elders and great men did not say these things. This is to raise them to the level of divinity. The only Being whose Commands cannot be questioned is Allah and if we say that someone else is above being questioned then you are implicitly raising them to the same status.
The following review was published on the 22nd April 2010 by D. Brian Burghart, on the newsreview.com website.
It’s the nature of the way I do this column that it’s the things I’m most intrigued by that I spend the least time with. It’s like this: I’m most curious about the rarest of spiritual experiences, but since I generally only return to a church, temple, synagogue or mosque once, I learn the least about the experiences I’m most interested in. Since the vast majority of religious edifices are Christian, I also write the most about the doctrine I know the most about. It’s kind of a problem, really, and means I should probably rethink aspects of this column, as its third anniversary passes.
I feel that way about Islam. I know next to nothing about it, but I imagine I know far more than most of the readers of this column. For example, I attended prayers at the local mosque back in December 2007, so I have the tiniest bit of experience but even less knowledge.
That’s a long way of saying that I was quite happy to run across the little book Introduction to Islam by Zahid Aziz. It was designed to teach absolute beginners and children the basic tenets of Islam. The 66-page book took me two hours to read Read More
