New Year Celebration

Photo credit : http://wordplay.hubpages.com In Islam , there are only two holidays, namely the day of 'Eid ul-Fitr and' Eid al-Adha. The rest, nothing so as a Muslim, there is no interest whatsoever to celebrate the new year. The most important thing for a Muslim is to pay attention to the time that never cease to be filled with deeds, including in the new year 2012. The whole man is in loss except for the faithful and do good works, encourage one another in righteousness and admonish one another in patience. By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. (Quran Sura Al-Ashr) In this sura, Allah explains that all human beings really are at a losses. These losses referred to in this ayat may be absolute, meaning a loss in the world and the Hereafter, not getting pleasure and is entitled to put in hell. It may be that he only suffered losses...

Index Al-Quran

Wikipedia The words of the Qur’an are primarily divided by chapter (surah) and verse (ayat). The chapters vary in length, and generally are ordered from longest to shortest. To ease the reading process, the Qur’an is additionally divided into 30 equal sections, called a juz' (plural: ajiza). The divisions of juz' do not fall evenly along chapter lines, and often break from one section to another in the middle of a chapter. These divisions are done to make it easier for one to pace the reading over a month’s period, reading a fairly equal amount each day. This is particularly important during the month of Ramadan, when it is recommended to complete at least one full reading of the Qur’an from cover to cover. Below is a listing of the 30 Ajiza of the Qur’an, with links to further information about the chapters, verses, and themes of each section of the Holy Book.

Functions of The Mountains

The holy Qur'an directs our attention to the important geological function of mountains. And We have placed on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with them, and We placed therein broad highways for them to pass through, that they may be guided (Quran Sura Al-Anbiya : 31) As can be seen, it is stated in the verse that mountains work to prevent turbulence in the Earth's surface . This fact was not known by anyone at the time when the Qur'an was revealed. In fact, they have recently been revealed as a result of discoveries of modern geology. According to this invention, the mountains appear as a result of the movement and collisions of massive plates forming the earth's crust. When two plates collide, the stronger plates slipped under the other plate, while the one above the fold and form a plateau and mountains. Bottom layer moves under the surface and form a deep extension downward. This means that the mountain has a part that stuck far down that i...

Divorce in Islam

Photo credit Zawaj.com Divorce in Islam known as "talaq," which means "I divorce you", if a wife asks "talaq" to her husband then the term could be interpreted as "please divorce me!". Many non Muslims view that a Muslim man (who is married) can dissolve the marriage at any time by telling his wife: "talaq, talaq, talaq 'on his own. And even that is not easy and simple in Islam because there are several processes that must be done as a form of responsibility of both parties according to the rules of Islamic law. Divorce in Islam is legitimate even though God hates it. If there has been a divorce between a pairs of households (same partner) three times ("talaq" and "ruju") then there is no "ruju" (re-united) until one of them has remarried. If a husband says 'talaq' three times, the law remains the one time and they can do a "ruju" (unified return) until the limit of three times the div...
