Sada-e-Haqq

وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ

And those with understanding derive a lesson,

(Surah Saad, Verse 29)

Shariah is one. You may call ‘truth’ by any name but the source is singular. In the propagation of truthfulness and veracity, there is no uniqueness. Instead, there will be a repetition and with persistence. Something which is new will provide a delightful novelty, but the truth is exceptionally singular and is eternal. From where it will provide newness and novelty in its presentation and declaration? It is bound to be repetitive. Sowing the same seed in different climates, again and again, expecting that the soil might accept it someday and shoot up to be a lush green plant yielding plenty of fruits.

In the Holy Quran, we find a single subject or a topic often repeated. One should ponder upon and try to explore the reason for such reiteration.

It is stated…

انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْآيَاتِ ثُمَّ هُمْ يَصْدِفُونَ

Behold, how We put forth Our signs in diverse forms,

and yet they turn away from them.

(Surah Al-An’am, Verse 46)

The Overflowing Grace Upon A Creation That Heard The Voice Of The Most Merciful

This book discusses a creation that heard the beautiful voice of Allah, the majestic, the generous, the mighty, the exalted, the powerful, the patron, the Lord of majesty and generosity, blessed and exalted be He. It explores a creation that heard the voice of Allah in wakefulness and in dreams, supported by authentic chains of narration indicating so. It is essential to emphasize that Allah, the Most High, has no likeness whatsoever, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. This applies to all descriptions attributed to Him. We are not to describe Allah with attributes that He has not described Himself with, nor has His Messenger described Him with them, either by negation or affirmation. We follow, and we do not innovate. Therefore, we put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, judge between us and our people with truth, and You are the best of judges. I seek refuge in Allah from saying about Allah that which is not true."

Brief History Of Islamic Sects

The Abbasid and Umayyad era, in Andalusia, was truly the golden age of the renaissance and Islamic civilization; in various scientific, literary, intellectual, civilizational, and other fields. Among the civilizational developments of this era, is the emergence of formal historical codification of the various Islamic schools of jurisprudence, such as the four schools of Sunnis and the group, Zaidi, Ibadi, Maturidi and Ash’ari, and other branches of each Islamic sect. In addition to the Islamic sects that were not destined to survive, which led to their extinction.

In this book, we wanted to briefly mention the history of Islamic sects. Especially in the first three Hijri centuries, from the oldest of these to the most recent. We ask God Almighty that we have been successful in this research, and that it is in the balance of our good deeds. Finally, we would like to point out that this book examines the history of Islamic sects in brief only. It is not a specialized book that discusses Islamic jurisprudence or the principles of religion (the science of belief), or what is technically known as Islamic theology. We never claim perfection in that, and God is behind the intention first and foremost.

Discourse Levels

The prophetic speeches are a living discourse, originally recorded when it was said, and a text recorded when it was written, which people received verbally from the Prophet (Peace be upon him), and they contain precise meanings related to the themes of divine love, forgiveness and satisfaction. And the words of God Almighty with His servants, and his dialogue with them, encapsulate psychological and educational benefits, and the organised language that opens new horizons for understanding and interpretation for the reader. The main objective of this book is to analyse the language of hadith according to the levels of discourse analysis, grammatical, lexical, semantic, and deliberative, and to focus on the discursive context of the hadith, which is a context that is broader than the textual context and is integrated with it. The levels of discourse in the hadiths included the speakers of all times and places, of different races, types, cognitive and intellectual levels, and included readers with different degrees of understanding and interaction with the texts of the hadith. Sacred discourse is characterised by inviting the reader to actively participate in its understanding. The reader is an active recipient who pays close attention to interact with the text, and he is a recipient that keeps changing in every time and place. In a continuous movement across the ages, the sacred texts remain open texts due to their rhetorical character, capable of different readings that preserved hadith’s intentions and the power of argumentation, and preserved its influential power in the hearts of those addressed.

The Impact Of Production Costs On Zakat Of Agricultural Crops And Exploited Items

This book deals with an important issue of contemporary Zakat, production costs in exploits and its impact on Zakat. This issue is addressed in two ways: - Agricultural production costs - The adjustment of revenues and yields derived from the exploitation of real estate and means of transport (ships, steamships and aeroplanes) by leasing them, as well as the exploitation of factories by selling their products. The author has made a great effort in collecting words of the old and modern scholars in this book, comparing them and then considering the most suitable and correct ones.

The Knowledge And The Concepts Of Creation Between Heritage And Modernity

The people who view our Islamic heritage realize that it is rich in precious. For it filled the whole world with knowledge until the end of time. However, through time, it has been in resemblance with other publications. These books are full of legends and superstitions which damaged that heritage. As a result, it has become our duty to examine and study it according to modern science and knowledge. As the title of the book, Between Heritage and Modernity, suggests, the book compares the issues of creation (the universe/humans) as stated in heritage books and interpretations of the Quran and what accompanied them of mistakes, as well as the statements and opinions of contemporary scientists. These books got very popular, which in turn misled thousands after thousands of Muslims against their religion because they assumed that the content of those books is the goal of the text, and then argued without knowledge through those books and not through the goals and purposes of the text.

Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) Taught Me

The book reviews the biography of Christ, peace be upon him, extracted from the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and the texts of the Bible transmitted from the New Testament, with a focus on the good commandments received on the tongue of Christ, peace be upon him. This is followed by a study of the approach between the text transmitted from the Bible by Christ, and the proverbs he cited in his sermon, and what corresponds to this text and is similar to it in the Qur’an and Sunnah. The book presents an overview of the story of the apostles after Christ, peace be upon him, and the history of Christianity. It provides a study on the New Testament, the history of its writing, the authenticity of its texts, and the opinion of Christian scholars about it. This is followed by a study on introducing the Holy Qur’an and its writing, and images of its miracles, and the opinion of some Western scholars in emphasizing that it is the word of God, and the impossibility of it being from human beings. In the book, there is a study on the relationship of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, with the Christians of his time, and some suspicions and responses to them are presented. And a presentation of the characteristic of Christ, peace be upon him, in Islam, and its connection with the events of the end of time, and the signs of the hour, as stated in the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah. The book concludes by clarifying the concept of “The Christ or Messiah," and its origin in the prophecy of Isaiah in the Old Testament. Followed by an analytical study of the text of Isaiah book, it sheds light on the prophecy that came in it, and explains the secret of the disparity in the idea about the Messiah at the end of time between Jews, Christians and Islam. In this book there is a call for rapprochement and objective reading addressed to both Muslim and Christian, and it is a call that does not carry any kind of insult to religions, but rather is a call for knowledge and broad knowledge, aimed at introducing the Islamic religion, and showing the extent of convergence of the monotheistic religions, especially in the general moral discourse based on facts, evidence and testimonies of specialists.
