BIOGRAPHY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh)
Dr. A. Zahoor and Dr. Z. Haq
(Copyright 1990, 1997, 1998 All Rights Reserved) Prophet Muhammad (s) was born in 570 CE in Makkah (Bakka, Baca, Mecca). His father, Abdullah, died several weeks before his birth in Yathrib (Medinah) where he went to visit his father's maternal relatives. His mother died while on the return journey from Medinah at a place called ‘Abwa’ when he was six years old. He was raised by his paternal grandfather 'Abd al Muttalib (Shaybah) until the age of eight, and after his grandfather’s death by Abu Talib, his paternal uncle. 'Abd al Muttalib's mother, Salma, was a native of Medinah and he was born and raised as a young boy in Medinah before his uncle Muttalib brought him to Makkah to succeed him. Many years before Muhammad's birth, 'Abd al Muttalib...

What is Islam?
What is Islam? Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their fai...
Human Rights in the Quran
Dr. Riffat HassanIslam is deeply concerned about liberating human beings from any kind of bondage. God is aware of the human tendency toward dictatorship and despotism. Thus, in the Glorious Quran, which Muslims believe is the word of God, we can read what means,
{It is not (possible) for any human being that Allah should give him the Book and wisdom and prophethood and then he should say to humankind, "Be my servants rather than Allah's," but (he would say), "Be you faithful servants of the Lord by virtue of your constant teaching of the Book and of your constant studying thereof."] (Aal`Imran 3:...
Islam & Human Brotherhood
One of Islam's most important characteristics is its concept of humanity. This is highly evident in Islamic legislation, philosophy, and other facets of the religion as well. Islam promotes the concept of human brotherhood and the equality of all humans. It maintains that all humans are the children of one man: Adam, and that we all share the same lineage. This outlook informs two central concepts in Islam: brotherhood and justice, both of which will be addressed bel...
Islamic Brotherhood
Islamic Brotherhood:
the most perfect brotherhood of all times "I arrived as a stranger, and as an alien to this strange new culture. People were strange to me, and I already was aware of the cultural clash. After all, I was a Muslim of Arab blood; two forms of identification that would not prove to be popular in the Western world.
I went to a talk hosted by the Islamic society in the town. I met that night about five or ten Muslim brothers. Sometimes, I think that it is a shame that cults have taken to calling their members brothers, because it seems to cast a stain on the word. Nonetheless, in Islam, all men and women are of one family, be they Muslim, Jew, Christian or other....
THE PILLARS OF FAITH
Introduction
The pillars of Faith, Iman, enumerated in many verses of the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, are belief in God, in God's Angels, His Books, His Messengers, in the Hereafter and in Qadar (Destiny). These are familiar terms; but the non-Muslim reader would be mistaken if he thought that the Islamic concepts designated by them are the same as those of other religions and philosophies. It is hoped that the following exposition, which is itself made in the light of the Qur'an and the sayings of the Prophet, will make this point clear. It will also make clear the fact that the Islamic concept of faith itself is, in many ways, different from the popular Western one. In the West faith is usually contrasted to reason and knowled...
The Phenomenal Growth of Islam
At the end of this chapter, it may be appropriate to point out an important indication of the truth of Islam. It is well known that in the USA and the whole world, Islam is the fastest-growing religion. The following are some observations on this phenomenon:
n “Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people...” (Hillary Rodham Clinton, Los Angeles Times)...
The Simple Life of Muhammad (PBUH)
If we compare the life of Muhammad before his mission as a prophet and his life after he began his mission as a prophet, we will conclude that it is beyond reason to think that Muhammad was a false prophet, who claimed prophethood to attain material gains, greatness, glory, or power.
Before his mission as a prophet, Muhammad had no financial worries. As a successful and reputed merchant, Muhammad drew a satisfactory and comfortable income. After his mission as a prophet and because of it, he became worse off materially. To clarify this more, let us browse the following sayings on his lif...

Islam and Discrimination, Equality in Islam, Racism and Islam, Islam and Race, One Human Race
Racism is one of the severe diseases of human society in this age. Everyone remembers how black Africans were transported across the oceans, packed in specially designed ships, thought of and treated like livestock. They were made slaves, forced to change their names and religion and language, were not entitled to hope for true freedom, and were refused the least of human rights. Because among some Western people the attitude to non-Westerners has unfortunately changed little in modern times, the political and social condition of black people often remains, even where they live amid the native Westerners as theoretically equal fellow-citizens, that of despised inferior...
Human Structure in Islam: Equality, Brotherhood, Unity
Equality, Brotherhood, Unity
From Adam and Eve humans have the same divine message delegating same rights and same responsibilities: men and women alike.
Muslims have the same rights and responsibilities toward God and each other. They all are subject to the same reward and punishment in accordance to their deeds.
While justice and equity underline the foundation of the Islamic Umma the best humans in the eyes of God are those who are most piou...
Brotherhood in Islam
Brotherhood in Islam By Z.B. Asghar Adapted Slightly From The Light - Volume 1 Issue 1
Loughborough Islamic Centre & LSU Islamic SocietyThe importance of brotherhood in Islam can not be over stressed. There are many hadiths relating to the fact the Muslims are a single united body, each part responsible for the other. Accordingly if one of the parts is injured or hurt then the rest of the body immediately feels that pain and is certainly uncomfortable at the situation until it is rectified without delay. The brotherhood of Muslims is a very deep and wide concept that guarantees the safety and well being of the Society at large. Islam being a complete way of life is primarily for the society, it promotes a healthy and a well disciplined life style...
Islamic Brotherhood
Islamic Brotherhood By Khalid Baig
"The Believers are but a single Brotherhood." [Al-Hujurat 49:10] "A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not oppress him, nor does he leave him at the mercy of others." [Sahih Muslim].
The Islamic Brotherhood is not based on economic interests, race, or color. It is based on something infinitely superior: Rejection of falsehood and acceptance of the Truth as revealed by the One True God....
