The Birth of Prophet ﷺ

When the beloved Prophet ﷺ was born a radiant light accompanied him and he lifted his head towards the heavens and the mother of ‘Uthman bin Abi al-Aas witnessed stars lowering themselves and a light so bright appeared that she could see nothing other than light. {Dala’il an-Nabuwwah lil’ Bayhaqi, Volume 1, pg. 113; Musnad of Imam Ahmad, Volume 4, pg. 127}

Ibn Khaldun’s Theory of Taxation and its Relevance Today

Figure 1: The imaginary portrait of Ibn Khaldun in a Tunisian 10 Dinar banknote. 1. Introduction Ibn Khaldun’s theory of taxation has been considered an original and one of his most important contributions to economic thought. It is his theory of taxation that has cemented his position in the history of economics. The present paper has a limited scope. It aims at an analytical study of this theory. It is only one aspect of Ibn Khaldun’s host of economic ideas. It also attempts to present empirical evidence that may support and strengthen his theory of taxation. Finally the paper examines its practicality and relevance today. But at the outset, as a background knowledge, it briefly presents Ibn Khaldun’s life sketch, introduces his most outstanding work the  Muqaddimah  and the economic ideas found in this work. Since Ibn Khaldun’s discussion of taxation is mixed with his discussion of expenditures of government at various stages, and they provide justification for taxation, this aspec...

https://youtu.be/vHij8GTefBo   13th Rajab | Birth of The First Imam, ‘Ali Ibn Abu Talib (as) It was Friday 13th Rajab in the 30th Year of Elephants; Fatima bint Asad, the wife of Abu Talib entered the precincts of the Ka'bah and prayed to Allah saying, O’ My protector ease my pain.’ All of a sudden the wall of the Ka'bah opened up and she, as if by some unseen force went inside the Ka'bah and the wall closed. ‘Ali (as) the youngest son of Abu Talib was born inside the Holy Ka'bah. She stayed inside for three days. On the 3rd day she came out through the door and Prophet Muhammadﷺ was waiting outside. She told Beloved Muhammadﷺ that the boy had not taken any milk. Beloved Prophetﷺ gave him the first feed from his mouth and afterwards asked his uncle Abu Talib that he wished to adopt the baby. ‘Ali entered the house of Prophet Muhammadﷺ from the very first day of his birth. ‘Ali’s mother Fatima bint Asad also lived there who looked after his own son as well as Prophetﷺ so...

About the transient nature of this world and importance of the next world

So now, surely this world has turned its back and announced its departure while the next world has appeared forward and proclaimed its approach. Today is the day of preparation while tomorrow is the day of racing. The place to proceed to is Paradise while the place of doom is Hell. Is there no one to offer repentance over his faults before his death? Or is there no one to perform virtuous acts before the day of trial? Beware, surely you are in the days of hopes behind which stands death. Whoever acts during the days of his hope before approach of his death, his action would benefit him and his death would not harm him. But he who fails to act during the period of hope before the approach of death his action is a loss and his death is a harm to him. Beware, and act during a period of attraction just as you act during a period of dread. Beware; surely I have not seen a coveter for Paradise asleep nor a dreader from Hell to be asleep. Beware, he whom right does not benefit must suffer the...

हज़रत अली (अलैहिस्सलाम) के कथन (157 - 170)

हज़रत अली (अलैहिस्सलाम) के कथन ( 157 - 170 ) 157 अगर तुम देखना चाहो तो तुम को दिखाया जा चुका है, अगर तुम उपदेश हासिल करना चाहो तो तुम को उपदेश दिया जा चुका है और अगर तुम सुनना चाहो तो तुम को सुनाया जा चुका है। 158 अपने भाई पर एहसान करके उस को सुधारने की कोशिश करो और उस से होने वाली हानि को उस पर कृपा करके दूर करो। 159 अगर कोई व्यक्ति ख़ुद को बदनामी वाली जगहों पर ले जाए और फिर अगर कोई दूसरा उस के बारे में बुरा ख़याल करे तो फिर वो उस को बुरा न कहे। 160 जिस को सत्ता मिल जाती है वो पक्षपात करने ही लगता है। 161 जो केवल अपनी राय से काम लेगा, तबाह हो जाएगा और जो दूसरों से मशवरा करेगा उन की अक़लों में शरीक हो जाएगा। 162 जो अपने भेदों को छिपाए रहे गा उस को ख़ुद पर पूरा क़ाबू रहेगा। 163 निर्धनता सबसे बड़ी मौत है। 164 अगर कोई किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति का हक़ अदा करता है जो उस का हक़ अदा न करता हो तो फिर वो उस का ग़ुलाम बन जाता है। 165 किसी की किसी ऐसी आज्ञा का पालन नहीं करना चाहिए जिस से परवरदिगार की अवज्ञा होती हो। 166 अगर कोई व्यक्ति अपना हक़ माँगने के बारे में देर करे तो उस को ग़लत नहीं कहा जा सकता, ग़...

Aadab e Masjid

Aadab e Masjid : ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Masjid me dunya ki baaten karna aur fuzool kaam karna gunaah hai. Yunhi Wuzu ke dauraan bhi dunya ki baaten karna gunaah hai.
