Women before Islam were treated very badly; they have no rights in property, education, etc… In times of war, women were treated as part of the gift. People dislike the birth of daughter in family and they killed the female children.

After Islam women were given rights by Allah (SWT), and Allah (SWT) said in a Holy Quran about female infanticide:
“And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision.”
(An-Nahl 16:58-59)

Islam considered women to be equal to man, Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Quran:

“O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever and All-Watcher over you.” (Al-Nisa 4:1).

According to Islam women is an independent, unique individual in her own rights and she can get education; she can receive a share in property. According to Islam, we cannot force a woman to marry anyone without their permission or choice. The Quran clearly point out that marriage is sharing between the two persons of the society, and that its objectives, beside perpetuating human life, are emotional well-being and spiritual harmony. Its bases are love and mercy.

Salat is fundamental pillar and very important form of Islamic worship. Allah (SWT) gives us a message of Salat in Quran, and our Holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) has taught us the way of Salat.  We should spend most of time in the worship of Allah, Quran recitation and Salat is very important form of worship. The Holy Prophet (SAWW) Said: “I leave behind among you two precious and valuable things. One is the Qur’an and the other my ‘Itrat’ (progeny) and as long as you hold on to these two you will never be deviated.” (Bihar-ul-Anwar 23/108, 113 & 118)

Salat is compulsory to every Muslim of 7+ ages. We have to perform Salat five times in a day. Which are Fajr, Zohar, Asor, Maghribh, Esha. All Muslims is bound to say Salat. Allah loves a person who performs Namaz five times in a day. We have to perform Salat on time it’s very necessary to perform it on time. Salat is the big difference between a Muslim and a non-Muslim.” The first thing we will have to answer about on the Day of Judgment is salah. There are a lot of benefits of performing Salat:

• Salat is compulsory and we have to perform Salat five times in a day.
• When Muslim performs Salat, the level of cholesterol in the body will reduce.
• Salat is also type of exercise.
• Salat help to clean our heart and it will help us to be a pious person and a true Muslim.
• Salat is a key of Jannat.

Quran and Hadith inform us the importance of Salat. The Holy Prophet (SAWW) says that: “Salaat is the pillar of deen and the foundation of Islam. He who upholds salah has upheld Islam and he who leaves salah has left behind religion”. (al-baihaqi). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said “The person that observes prayer properly, the prayer itself, blesses him with good wishes.”

Quran is the ultimate source of hadaya’ for the humankind. Every word of Quran has its own importance and so does every surah. Surah Yaseen is above all the surahs of Quran. Sayyiduna Ma’aqal ibn Yassaar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, “Yaseen is the heart of the Quran. Nobody who intends the Aakhirat shall recite it except that Allah will forgive him. Recite it upon your deceased.”

Every Muslim should recite Surah Yaseen, in order to seek forgiveness of Allah. If you want to seek pleasure of Allah, the only source to do so will be through reciting Surah Yaseen. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, “Whoever recites Surah Yaseen at night seeking the pleasure of Allah, His sins will be forgiven.” (Muwatta Imaam Maalik). Imaam ibn Hibbaan has classified it as Saheeh – Saheeh ibn vol.6 pg.312 (see al-Targheeb vol.2 pg.377)

This is the best source to seek forgiveness from Allah and seek pleasure of Allah. Reciting Surah Yaseen of Quran will help you lead a very positive life, while it will make your Akkihra better. There are unlimited benefits of reciting Surah Yaseen. You can recite the Surah at any time of the day or night and it will do its miracles for you.

Every Surah of Quran has its own importance, but this Surah holds more significance than any other does, being the heart of the Quran. Recite this Surah more and more and seek the pleasure of Allah. Allah has offered us unlimited blessings, but we do not benefit from that, due to our love for materialistic world. May Allah guide us and help us to seek the right path (Ameen).

The most precious thing that you can do to yourself or your kids is to adopt a Quran learning course for them. This is an important part of Muslim’s life, since it is the base of their lives. Providing your kids with this present symbolizes that you have brought the whole wealth of world to them.

Most of us want our children to become engineers, doctors, pilots; in fact, we prefer every highly paid profession for them. Unfortunately, we have become so materialistic that when we think, we only think about the material world. We have no time to consume when it comes to our religion or spirituality.

Our religion is the base of our lives and our lives can never be complete without properly following our religion. Quran learning is the only technique that can keep us stick to our religion in our daily life. Obviously, without Quran learning, we are unaware of what our religion demands, so first and foremost duty of every Muslims is to learn his religion.

Once you have learnt Quran, it will become easier for you to apply it in daily life. However, if you do not learn it then you will not be able to apply the teachings of Quran in your daily life, no matter how hard you try. May Allah bless everyone with this knowledge and guide us to remain on the path, which Allah has chosen for us.   Make Quran learning a part of your life and become a true Muslim!

The world politics dramatically changed after the 9/11 attacks. The politics, which was thought to be a neutral entity than did not remain neutral, but it, became more subjective to religion after the September 11 attacks. The religious tussle has emerged between Muslims and Christian after that. Now it has taken a very serious turn.

You must have also come to know that a group of Christians in Florida is planning a burn Quran event on the anniversary of 9/11. This is indeed very sad, for not for Muslims, but for the humanity as whole.

Before making and decision or even before reacting to anything, you should first know your strengths and weaknesses. Always remember that you might not be able to bring the change or clear the misconceptions of non-Muslims, but yes, you can try at your level and give your contribution in it. Set up a goal for you as a Muslim, which should include strategies as to how to react to this situation, while respecting the laws, religions, and above all humankind.

Quran School is a place where you find number of Muslims, kids and adults, whom you can take into confidence for your mission. Try to convince them about your program. In respond to burning Quran event, the best would be to arrange a Quran reading day. What can be a better place for this purpose, other than Quran School? Arrange a Quran reading day with the help of a Quran school, if you cannot take it on personal and individual level.

Being a resident of America I have a faced a lot of problems of finding the right school for my children. Parents can select the school their young children will attend. Parents would like to drive their young children to a school that encourages learned excellence and a worth centralized informative environment. Online Quran can be the bets option for the Muslims students to stay at home and learn Quran. The next sheets register the distinct kinds of schools accessible for Muslim young children, their benefits and disadvantages.

Why Islamic education?

Following problems are referring that Islam should be implemented to have a threshold on the control over current problems faced by many:

• Crime rate has increased
• Aggressive behavior of youngsters
• Miss using weapons of safety
• rape and sexual harassment of women and children
• Sexual promiscuity and immorality and abnormalities
• Drugs and alcoholism
• Homosexuality
• Poverty
• Divorce rate has increased
• Single parent
• broken families laying an impact on the minds of children
• No family structure.
• One million teen-age unmarried mothers per year
• sexually misused young children
• Spousal misuse
• Child misuse

The parent’s trial to educate Islamic standards and principles to the young children, therefore young children are to sustain these standards at environment they want for there children. At times the out-of-doors communal natural environment is in disagreement to what Muslim young children are discovering at home. As an outcome of this confrontation, young children are battling a psychological assault in their minds.

Quran has itself has proven to be the last revelation of Allah. Its compilation and revelation was through Gabriel. Who made the last prophet read it? He then recited it in front of the Arabs and the prophets companions used to memorize it.

The last prophet was said to be an illiterate. I.e. he never went to a school or studied at an institution of that time. But yet he was full of knowledge of the universe. This is a miracle of Allah. The Arabs entered the circle of Islam in a large number.

Angel Gabriel one time every Ramadan, but he recited it two times in the last Ramadan before his death. It is said that Gabriel furthermore educated the Prophet the seven modes of recitation.

Each verse obtained was recited by the Prophet, and its position relation to other verses and surahs was recognized by him.

The verses were in writing by scribes, chosen by the Prophet, on any apt object – it was written on trees, parts of timber, parchment or cowhide, flat pebbles, and shoulder blades.

Several century companions memorized the Qur’an by heart.  In the present time the Quran can be read even in the form of online Quran. This is the best form of educating people all over the world at one platform.

There is always a time where one incident or the other has made people to carry wrong opinions of our lord and especially the recent incidents have created a confusion making many to think that how can this be possible while our God has made us loose from the disbelievers and their victory is not even justified, well as far as people without strong affiliation with Islam exists and keep on making assumptions the limit of patience and belief would be on a constant test.

For what we all should know as Muslims is the belief and the opinion about Allah the almighty. The more we are clear and strong about out Tawheed the more it will make us believe in Allah and help us to follow the right path of faith and forgiveness. To understand it better we have good example narrated by Abu Hurairah, that Allah says “I am as my slave thinks of me and I am with him whenever he remembers me.” In addition to this there are several other factors which will make you understand and to be more precise you should refer to Quran Recitation on a daily basis, which will not only help you to purify your heart and follow the recommended path, but also keep you away from unwanted things or sins of the materialistic world.

In addition, Allah the almighty says “And [that] He may punish the hypocrite men and hypocrite women, and the polytheist men and polytheist women – those who assume about Allah an assumption of evil nature. Upon them is a misfortune of evil nature; and Allah has become angry with them and prepared for them Hell, and evil it is a destination.” [al-Fath, 48: 6]

Islam has turned the faces of the entire world towards Islam. Not only Muslims in the present time are interested in the affairs of Islam but also the non Muslims are affected by the actions of Muslims and teachings of Islam. Muslims are being targeted socially, politically and religiously by the non Muslims of the world. Islam is most of the time the concepts of Islam are being misunderstood by the non Muslims, due to the media controversies the Muslims are being targeted all over the world. Names like terrorists, extremist is being used by the people of the world and they blame Islam for the prevailing terrorism in all the parts of the world. People just talk about Islam blindly without knowing what exactly Islam is, as defined in the Quran. This is the reason of distortion of facts about Islam. Islam gives an ideology that is rooted in the social, political, economic, judicial and penal systems of an Islamic society defined in the Quran. This tells us that Islam is not mere a religion. This ideology of Islam bonds the Muslims together as one nation with any discrimination of color, race and ethnic origin. The rules and regulation in the Islamic legislations mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah give it a lead over the other democratic set of rules and capitalism. Non-Muslims should consider the revelation of Quran and then talk about the affairs of Islam.

“Do they not then consider the Qur’an carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradiction.” [4:82]
