'THE WOMEN' An Nisaa' (Title of a Chapter in the Quran)

Understanding the 1-6 verses of the 4 th Chapter ‘the women’ in the Quran. A whole chapter in the Quran is dedicated to ‘women’. The title of the 4 th chapter in the Quran is ‘the women’ , which is called ‘An Nisaa’ in Arabic.  Women should feel good about this. Allah has given them special reference so that the rights of women are protected and they are given the respect that they deserve. There is no chapter in the Quran with the title “the men”. Apart from women, this verse mentions the orphans in its verses from 1to 6. Let us try to understand what these six verses teach us. VERSE 1 Primarily Allah addresses the whole of mankind as He states, “O people, who fear your Creator.” This is clear enough to understand that Allah is addressing the whole of mankind. Then Allah tells us that He has made all of the mankind from one single human being, i.e. Adam alayhissalaam and from him he has scattered many men and women on the earth. This explains t...

SHAKING HANDS

CAN'T DESCRIBE...

As I was a born Muslim, Alhamdulillah, I got to see my parents praying, fasting and reading the Holy Quran on a routine basis. I did not have much understanding of the spirit of this way of life. As I grew up I came to know about the clear stance that Islam had on various matters that otherwise might confuse a person with no direction whatsoever. It is so sharply clear about each and everything that might relate to you as a human being. When I could myself pray, fast or read the Holy Quran I could feel the force that bound us to some values that must be held fast to. When my father handed me over a copy of the Holy Quran with English Translation I felt so happy. I could now see the meanings of the Words of Allah myself and understand what the Book was all about. I can't describe my love for this religion which is more than just a faith. As you come to know more about Islam and read more from the Holy Quran your love for them increases. I can't describe how beautiful Isl...

CRESCENT SCHOOL...MY UNIQUE SCHOOL!

The school Badge.    Located in New Delhi. My school was like my second home.  The teachers were truly amazing, affectionate and they knew what they taught. They had this air of sincerity in them which made us fond of them. They loved the students and wanted not just to teach subjects but values too. The interesting thing was that they taught us all that through their own behavior.  Our Principals used to see to it that the school was not dirty and were humble enough to pick up the trash they found in the ground and threw it in the bins themselves!   I can not do justice to describing my fond memories of this specially beautiful school that I had been to. I completed my high school from this simple yet great institution which instilled in us not only the excellence in seeking knowledge but the value of being sincere in all walks of life. My school was a warm and naturally beautiful hub of loving teachers and other staff. The gre...
