One of the most difficult teachings of Islamic tradition is that path of divine presence does not go through a creed, an institution or location, instead it goes through humanity. There is a close connection that exists between humanity and Allah and it goes back to the basic foundation of the religion Islam. A good Quran Teacher will tell you about following the right path of Islam. Holy Quran records the creation of all humanity like communication between Allah and angel. Unlike angels and Jinn who are made of light and fire, humans are quite opposite and are made of both spirit and clay.

Humanity is the ultimate paradox that is created by the Almighty Allah and it has the divine breath inside. If the fellow human beings are observed in a worst case scenario by having the concept in mind that person in front can cause mischief then it means that the true manner of Quranic angels are not followed. You are following the manners of Satan, if you look at yourself.

There was once a question asked by the angel from Almighty Allah that what humans should do, Allah answered to this question: “I know something that you do not.”  Allah knows about the potential of human being while angels do not know it. Allah has worked with humans, taught human and redeemed all the humans in order to set up human as the representative of Allah. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was sent to perfect the divine matters in all humans.

Some people including the Muslims and non-Muslims believe that Holy Quran tells about violence, which is a very wrong concept as Islam is a religion of peace and its teachings are based on unquestionable proofs and evidence. Although this fact must not be stated for Islam, but it is self-explanatory in terms of the noble teachings and meanings and the main message of Islam was conveyed by Allah to all the mankind. A good Quran Teacher will definitely help you in understanding the teaching of Islam about Violence.

There are various verses of Holy Quran that tell about peace as it is said: “…But if they turn away, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks” (Al-Nisaa’ 4: 89).

The above mentioned verses do not give permission to anybody to kill another person. All these verses were mentioned by Allah to Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and these verses were revealed when all the Muslims were attacked by the other non-Muslims of Makkah on regular basis. The Muslim communities of Medina were frightened by people. It can be said that there were many attacks on Medina from terrorists and under that situation, all the Muslims were given the permission to fight back against terrorists.

All such type of statements were not against the terrorism and there were warnings against any kind of such an act. The need of hour is to study the religious text in its proper context so that one can better understand its true meanings and not the distorted one.

Islam teaches love and peace, it is the religion of God; therefore, it helps and promotes love for humanity. It states that service of humanity leads to the path of faith. Muslims must get engaged in different social welfare activities and fulfill the needs of other Muslims.

In the verse 111, chapter 3, it is said: “You are the best people raised for the good of mankind: you enjoy good and forbid evil and believe in Allah.”

It is clear from the above mentioned verse that all the Muslims have been told to serve the mankind in the best possible manner and they must promote goodness. If they do not achieve this, then they cannot get into the list of best people. If you study Live Quran, you will then know about the love of Humanity. But the teachings of Islam say that Muslims must serve mankind with kindness and love.

According to the teachings of Quran, every person must display kindness to every other person, regardless of how they behave with you. By following these teachings, you can create love, peace, and harmony in the society. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) emphasized on sympathy, kindness, and love towards all the mankind and said: “One who is not grateful to mankind is not grateful to Allah.”

In another place it is said: “None among you is a true believer unless he loves for others what he loves for himself.”All the creatures in this world are created by Allah, therefore they should be treated with kindness.

Muslim marriage is the great blessing from Allah Almighty that is also the Sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Today we will share some of the marriage quotations that we have picked up through Quran Recitation and form Hadith of Muhammad (pbuh). It will definitely be interesting for common people but will be valuable more for Muslim visitors on this page.

• “A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, “Where we are from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven.” Then one of them said, “I will present the prayer all through the night perpetually.” The other said, “I will fast all through the year and will not break my fast.” The third said, “I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever.” Muhammad (pbuh) came to them and said, “Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more obedient to Allah and more frightened of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my custom in religion, is not from my followers.” narrated by Anas bin Maalik:
• Top of Form`O young people! Whoever among you can support a wife should marry, for that is more modest for the gaze and safer for your private parts.’ Said by Muhammad (pbuh).
• “Nikah (marriage) is my Sunna. He who spurns my Sunna is not of me. “said by prophet (pbuh).
• “A man marries a woman for four causes: for her property, for her position, for her beauty, and for her religion (and character). So marry the one who is best in the religion and character and prosper”. (Bukhari and Muslim)
• “When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion, so let him fear Allah as regards the remaining half.”
• `The most awful among you are your bachelors.
• “The whole world is pleasure, and the best pleasure of the world is the righteous woman.”

Hope this will be encouraging for all Muslims to avoid evils. InshaAllah

The rules of Islamic inheritance for the children are very clearly explained in the Holy Quran. The Muslims are allowed to deviate from anything written in the Holy Quran.

However, it is a very unfortunate fact that many Muslims do not follow the principles of Islam. Not adhering to the rules of the Islamic inheritance is regarded as an injustice by the Holy Quran. Injustice is highly disliked by the Allah Almighty.

For the sibling, the Holy Quran has described a very clear law of inheritance. Out of three, the brother will get two parts and the sister will get one part. However, people in our society seem to ignore this important rule. Some parents do not give the right of property/assets to their daughters, which is highly sinful.

On the other hand, some parents insist on dividing the assets equally among the male and female children. This is also highly sinful. Some parents deprive one of their children from their inheritance right saying that he or she is being disobedient. The parents must avoid this practice, as this too is a great sin.

The rules of the Holy Quran cannot be changed or played around. One should always pray that Allah give courage to all the parents to divide their inheritance strictly according to the principles of Islam.
