Guardians Of The Natural Order
God originated humankind within his Creation, which He also originated. Humanity is then inescapably subject to God's immutable laws, as is the rest of creation. Creation cannot be changed: global warming can be seen, in this light, as the Earth's endeavor to maintain a balance in the face of the human assault against it. In our eagerness to 'progress' and 'develop' we have lost sight of the fin...

The Table of the Prophet's Family
The food served in Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)'s household was of modest quality, yet was rich in terms of helping the poor and praising Allah. Nothing of a forbidden nature was ever included on the Prophet's table.

Medina is right. For it wants to be remembered with beautiful memories appropriate to the Prophet's spirit. Its onl...
