Other than for a few parts, I have not viewed The Arrivals, hence I am not in a position to comment on the critique presented by Br XYZ. I am however astonished by the large number of emails I have received from those who have become Muslims, who are now attracted to Islam, or who have had their faith in …
Who are right among Wahabisme, Sunni and Shia, Deobandi, Tabligi, Sufi?
I have just this as an answer – and if it does not suffice then kindly seek guidance from someone else. Those who can read the world accurately in this the Last Age, and who then respond to its tests and trials appropriately, are specially blessed by Allah and are hence rightly-guided.
What is your view on celebrating the birthday of the prophet
My choice is to mark the occasion in intense individual solitary private spiritual devotion rather than collective public celebration. I suggest that my students do the same.
Comments on Earthquakes
We can now expect more and more earthquakes – not all of which would occur naturally. One of the first things we can do is to build light-weight roofs on our houses so that if they were to collpase on us in an earthquake they can be lifted by human hands.

“My words are like stars – they do not set.” Chief See-at-hl
The French have a proverb: ‘plus ça change, plus c’est la meme chose’, i.e. the more it (appears to) change – the more it is (in fact) the same thing. Muslims are being slaughtered in Afghanistan, North-West Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia and elsewhere, and we anticipate more of the same “from the river of Egypt to the great River Euphrates’ as …
A MUSLIM RESPONSE TO SWINE FLU EPIDEMIC
In a Caribbean island of Trinidad that is blessed with a plural society, and which celebrates that plurality with the democratic proclamation “here every creed and race finds an equal place”, we Muslims are grateful that we still have at least that much freedom that we can buy newspaper space to publish a Muslim viewpoint on an issue as critically …
IMPLICATIONS OF AN INDO-US ATTACK ON PAKISTAN
If Mumbai’s recent spectacular act of false-flag terrorism does not quite create opportunity for an Indo-US attack on Pakistan, another such act of provocation that could function as causus bellum will have to be cooked-up in order to justify a destruction of that Muslim country’s nuclear plants and its elimination from the nuclear club. That Sunni Pakistan will be so …
