O people! Fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and created from it its mate, and propagated from them many men and women. And revere God whom you ask about, and the parents. Surely, God is Watchful over you.

Ihsan: Quest for Beauty and Excellence
Understanding and appreciating Islam in modern times is not an easy task. Non-Muslims can hardly be blamed when Muslims themselves contribute so much misunderstanding and distortion.

14 Lessons from the Story of Qabil and Habil
The following are 14 lessons that can be gleaned from the story of Prophet Adam’s two sons: Qabil (Cain) the wicked one and the murderer, and Habil (Abel) the righteous one and the victim.

Did Al-Biruni discover America?
Did Abu Rayhan Muhammad Biruni1 discover America in the first third of the eleventh century? In one sense, definitely not. He never laid eyes on the new continent or continents about which he wrote. By contrast, the Norsemen had actually touched land in North America shortly before AD 1000—briefly, to be sure, and without really understanding what they had found. Leif Ericson2 was so uninterested in the forested shore that he did not bother to return later, nor did any of those who heard oral reports of his travels or read about them in later Norse documents.

I pray five times a day. I fast the month of Ramadan. I pay my zakat. I have performed the hajj more than once. I participate in Islamic activities in the mosque.
