Indian constitution gives its citizens the Right to Religion. Article 25 of the constitution clearly says that Indian citizens have the right to Profess, Practice and Propagate their religion. This constitutional guarantee cannot be misinterpreted or subverted in any manner. The recent ban on Mumbai based Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) is totally un-constitutional as this organisation has been undertaking its work within the parameters of Indian Constitution from last 26 years. Islamic

New Delhi: Khalistan Liberation Front’s President, Harminder Singh Minto who had escaped from jail was arrested alive at the Hazrath Nizamuddin Railway Station. It is very surprising to note that whenever similar incidents of escaping the prisoners from jails happen and if they are Muslims, they are not arrested but killed in fake encounters by the police. This speaks of double standards of the police. It may be mentioned that Vikhar and his colleagues were killed in an encounter with police

By Firdaus Ahmed, The Milli Gazette Online | Nov 19, 2016 The killings of eight undertrial prisoners after an alleged breakout of a high security prison in Bhopal are a message. This message is internally and externally directed. In its external orientation, it is a message by the security establishment to Pakistan that Indian Muslims are hostage to Pakistani good behavior. In its internal orientation it is a reminder to India’s Muslims that they are at the mercy of the majority and had on

In order to develop a dynamic and vibrant community, it is imperative that we take bold steps. By Shafaat Shahbandari | Bhatkallys.com | 02-Nov-2016 An old adage goes that every problem has a solution. But for a problem as grave as the one we are discussing, there can neither be a single solution, nor could it be overcome immediately. The first step in finding a solution to every problem is to acknowledge that there is a problem. If a person is unaware of the problem, he will not look

Published Online: Oct 09, 2016 The current controversy about triple Talaq in India proves that inaction can also produce results, albeit not the ones you may like to see. The basic principle in Islamic jurisprudence is to go to the Book of Allahﷻ- the Qur’an and the Sunnah (teachings) of Muhammadﷺthe Prophet of Islam in case of any question in Islamic Law. That is all that we need to do in this case and it will become abundantly clear if triple Talaq in one sitting is a practice that must be in

ARAB NEWS| SHEIKH MOKHTAR MAGHRAOUI |  Friday 12 August 2016 Haj in the Arabic language means aim, destination or purpose (qasd). The reason is clear: Haj is the ultimate journey of loving submission (ubudiyah) and conscious surrender (riq) to Allah. Its ultimate destination is your encounter with the House of Allah (Bayt Al-Allah) — the Kaaba — with both your physical body and, more importantly, your heart (qalb). Ibn Al-Jawzi (may Allah bless him) relates a story of an old, blind woman who w

Saudi Gazatte | 26 July 2016 AL-AHSA — Markets in the eastern city of Al-Ahsa and other parts of the Kingdom are flooded with a variety of Rutab (ripe and soft) dates as extreme temperature has made the fruits ripe earlier than expected. In the beginning of the season, supply of Rutab dates normally is less with prices going up, said Mubarak Al-Khanin, a farmer who estimated Rutab prices at SR20 to SR45 per kg. “Al-Gharr, which is one of best varieties, is sold for SR40 per kg in the begi

Washington D.C, Jul 13 (ANI): You may be relying on them to shed those extra kilos, but turns out, artificial sweeteners may actually be making you eat more. A comprehensive new study co-led by the University of Sydney has revealed for the first time why this response occurs. The results shed light on the effects of artificial sweeteners on the brain in regulating appetite and in altering taste perceptions. Researchers identified a new system in the brain that senses and integrates the

Praise be to Allaah. Fasting six days of Shawwaal after the obligatory fast of Ramadaan is Sunnah Mustahabbah, not waajib. It is recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawwaal, and in this there is great virtue and an immense reward. Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that

ONE of the commonest charges brought against Islam historically, and as a religion, by Western writers is that it is intolerant. This is turning the tables with a vengeance when one remembers various facts: One remembers that not a Muslim is left alive in Spain or Sicily or Apulia. One remembers that not a Muslim was left alive and not a mosque left standing in Greece after the great rebellion in 1821. One remembers how the Muslims of the Balkan peninsula, once the majority, have been systema

ONE of the greatest miracles seen in Islam was the emergence of a man, who became the mercy to mankind. The Prophet Muhammad, also known as Al-Ameen, the trustworthy one in Arabic, grew up as an orphan, did not have any money to his name (despite his wealthy relatives and comrades) and he never went to a school. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the age of 40, spent time contemplating the meaning of life in the cave of Hira when he found the need to seek knowledge beyond the materialism t

In 2012 Salman Taj Patil cracked the UPSC exam in first attempt and became the first Muslim IPS officer from Solapur.  In this candid conversation with Imran Inamdar the 31 year old talks of issues concerning the Muslim community, of the state of education among Muslims and of his own preparation for UPSC a few years ago.
