جبرئیل’s Reviews > In the Shade of the Quran Vol. 1 > Status Update

Angels are a fact of ghayb that humans cannot perceive by conventional sensory or intellectual means. But man has an instinctive urge to look beyond the world that he can see; and God, has seen to it that this natural and legitimate human urge is satisfied in order to save man the frustration and suffering he would otherwise inevitably encounter

There are those today, who wish to limit the definition of usury.
Its a symptom of spiritual and intellectual defeatism, because Islamic rules are not decided merely on technicalities but on sound and firm concepts and principles. Islam did not condemn one particular form of usury, but stood against it entirely in theory and practice.

Muslims must realize that it is a conceptual impossibility that Almighty prohibit something that is vital for the perpetuation and preservation of human life. By the same token, no practice that is inherently corrupt could ever be essential for the organization and progress of human life.

public enthusiasm can be critically deceptive. those in the position of leadership must put it to the test before any decisive action

when public enthusiasm for action is at a high pitch, the first test of its substance should be the final

true believers have their own standards and values, they go ahead and sacrifice their lives,their wealth. They shall live lives to the full,in dignity&freedom, in service of God

Qurān remains the guide for role of leadership of mankind, a comprehensive constitution, to deal with our present problems and to chart our future course. Its not provided for inconsequential academic study.

Gods words will ring in our ears “Believers, respond to call of God and Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life”

Im telling u,u got to read this! Most influential read of mine so far

Islam represent a bedrock of resistance against falsehood, tyranny and corruption. This morbid attitude towards Islam lies behind most of the hostile and bigoted policies and designs directed against Muslim groups and communities in many parts of the world

unless these relatives are helped, it is far more dignified for them to be cared for by members of their own family.This is bound to bring people closer together

it is necessary to collectively acquire the attributes of being a Momin. All should have the resilience to withstand poverty, weakness, loss of friends and allies, shortage of manpower and resources, and the rigours and consequences of war and striving to serve God’s cause.

Righteousness is not that you turn your faces towards the east or the west, but truly righteous is he who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the Prophets; gives his money; who attends to his prayers and pays zakāt; and they who keep their promises once made, and are patient in misfortune and adversity and in time of peril.

Such are those who have proved themselves true.

Quran braces muslims for crucial and momentous task of leading mankind back to God.

Sole objective of their struggle and sacrifice is to uphold God’s world order and establish it as a social reality

There is a price that believers have to pay in order to uphold their faith, and that price is their own lives.

No material victory, power or wealth whatsoever is promised here — only God’s mercy and blessings..

Muslims without Islam would go back to their aimless tribal existence, with no influence on the rest of the world or role in history. A people without sound principles, creed or philosophy of life, would have no reason to assume a position of leadership in the world.
