Profile of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by: Qurat ul Ain (1st in PMS 2017)

Profile of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Profile of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by: Qurat ul Ain (1st in PMS 2017)

Profile of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)| Introduction

Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was born in 570 CE (Common Era) in the city of Mecca in the Arabian Peninsula, part of modern day Saudi Arabia. As his father had died shortly after marriage, his grandfather ‘Abd al-Muttalib became his guardian. ‘Abd al-Muttalib was the respected head of the clan of Hashim and the tribe of Quraysh, to which his clan belonged. With the Quraysh being the biggest and most influential tribe in Mecca, ‘Abd al-Muttalib was seen as the master of all of Mecca. The Quraysh had a special status in Mecca because they used to be in charge of the sacred Ka’ba. The Qur’an tells us that this holy edifice was built by Prophets Abraham and his son Ishmael: Profile of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House [Abraham prayed]: “Our Lord! Accept from us; surely You are the Hearing, the Knowing (2.127). Our Lord! Make us Muslims and raise from our offspring a nation of Muslims. Show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Surely, Your are the Relenting, the Merciful” (2.128).

The Islamic Concept of Administration | (Solved CSS 2016 Islamic Studies Paper)

The Islamic Concept of Administration | (Solved CSS 2016 Islamic Studies Paper)

The Islamic Concept of Administration
(Solved CSS 2016 Islamic Studies Paper)

The concept of a system of administration in Islam is quite different from that in the western world. Islam is a complete code of life and encircles all human activities. Life according to Islam is a constant struggle to overcome satanic propensities running in human blood. Islam is not a utopia of unrealizable ideas and it firmly expounds that an administration should keep a strict watch over his thoughts and actions. It emphasizes inner purity of soul because it provides social harmony in society and engenders self-discipline. Islam, in fact, laid down the foundation of a sound system of administration on. Islam emphasis certain intrinsic qualities which an administrator must possess. These are also regarded as the cohesive characteristic features which Islam has put forward for a perfect and excellent administrative system. First among them is “Honesty”, a moral quality which influences the individuals to refrain from inflicting injuries on others by cheating. Dishonestly breeds aversion. Pollutes social life. Degenerates politics and corrupts administration.

The majestic Qur’an | Read for CSS Islamic Studies

CSS Islamic Studies

By: Akbar Ahmed

As a schoolboy in the hills of Abbottabad, Iread Marmaduke Pickthall’stranslation of the Holy Quran, and its stirring introduction has stayed with me to this day. Pickthall wrote:“The Qur’an cannot be translated…The book is here rendered almost literally and every effort has been made to choose befitting language. But the result is not the Glorious Qur’an, that inimitable symphony, the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is only an attempt to present the meaning of the Qur’an—and peradventure something of the charm in English. It can never take the place of the Qur’an in Arabic, nor is it meant to do so.”

The Meaning of the Glorious Koran was published in 1930 after authorisation from Al-Azhar University and Pickthall, a convert to Islam, had become the first Muslim Englishman to translate the Quran. It remains popular among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

The Muslim World on the Verge of Destruction

The Muslim World on the Verge of Destruction

The Muslim World on the Verge of Destruction

The Muslims had ruled over the world 1000 of years ago. They were at climax because of their firm belief at unity. They had firm belief on the Holy Quran but it is law of nature that everything that rises sees a downfall. As long as the Muslim stuck to their religion, they succeeded but when they abandoned their moral values, they suffered downfall.

Muslim Ummah currently passing from catastrophic period and the era of their destruction began when they commenced trusting their enemies, they suffered insurmountable loss.  If we look into the above issue with cool mind, it will dawn upon us that the disunity among the Muslim Ummah is the major cause of their decline. If we have a bird eye view of the current scenario, it will be revealed that the Muslims are fighting against their own Muslim brothers due to lack of unity.
