Quran Teachings Regarding the Poor and the Needy The religion of Islam is a complete way of life and as part of it's teachings, provides humanity the guidance in various aspects of their lives. Among other things, Islam addresses social matters and issues at great depth and detail. The care for the poor and orphans is an excellent example in this regard. Through Quran and the prophet Muhammad's sayings, Muslims are specifically instructed and encouraged to take great care of orphans and the poor. The following depicts Islam's stand on the care of such people. For children and needy, whose parents pass away, the Quran states "And when the relatives and the orphans and the poor are present at the time of division, give them out of the property, and speak to them words of kindness and justice" - [Chapter 4 (Surah An-Nisa') - Verse 8 ] For the pious and righteous people, the Quran states "Any they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Hi...

However to get an idea of the reward of the Quran Recitation, we might consider the following verse. "And when you recite the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier". Quran Al-Isra [17:45] The more we think about it the more we realize the benefits of the Quran recitation. Allah Almighty promises to place a barrier between those who recite Quran and those who are non-believers. Can a person who does the Quran Recitation ask for more? Consider the following verse of the Holy Quran. "And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore, whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes ' astray, then say: I am only one of the warners". Quran An-Naml [27:92] The Muslim parents have a responsibility of teaching the Quran to their children. The must encourage the Quran Recitation by their children as the rewards for this are immense.

Structure of the Quran Aayat (verses): The Quran is divided into Ayahs or signs, commonly translated as verses. An ayah may consist of a full sentence more than one sentence or part of a sentence. What makes an ayah is revealed knowledge not a decision of the Prophet Muhammad or any scholar. The sequence of appearance of ayat is also revealed knowledge. Ayahs may be Makki or Madani but in the opinion of some scholars, some ayah may consist of a part Madani and another part Makki; an example is the last verse of Surah Muzammil. The Quran has approximately 6,300 ayat. Due to various conventions used there is a slight discrepancy in counting the total number of ayat. For example, according to one convention Surah Al-Fatiha has seven ayahs that includes Bismillah and another convention the seven ayat excludes Bismillah. One convention includes 113 Bismillah as part of chapters and the other convention excludes it. Surahs (chapters): A group of ayat has been declared to make up a Surah. Sur...

Proponents of all other religions will continually attack and slander the name of Islam. They will say that the Quran (Koran) is vague, is filled with vague prophecies, that it was from the mind of one man, etc. These claims are all false. They either come from ignorant people who have never objectively looked at the Quran, or from those who attack Islam because of hate. There are many passages in the Quran that prove that it is the word of Allah (God). First, let's examine why the Quran is the word of God. In Surah (chapter) An-Nisa, Verse 82, it is stated, "Will they not, then, try to understand this Qur'an? Had it issued from any but God, they would surely have found in it many an inner contradiction!" Additionally, in Surah Fussilat, Verse 42, it is stated, "... no falsehood can ever attain to it openly, and neither in a stealthy manner, [since it is] bestowed from on high by One who is truly wise, ever to be praised." The tafsir (commentary) on this by ...
Some Miracles of the Qur'an Relating the Universe

The 20th century saw a great many new discoveries regarding celestial phenomena in the universe. One of these entities, which has only recently been encountered, is the Black Hole. These are formed when a star which has consumed all its fuel collapses in on itself, eventually turning into a black hole with infinite density and zero volume and an immensely powerful magnetic field. We are unable to see black holes even with the most powerful telescope, because their gravitational pull is so strong that light is unable to escape from them. However, such a collapsed star can be perceived by means of the effect it has on the surrounding area. In Surat al-Waqi'a, Allah draws attention to this matter in this way, by swearing upon the position of stars: And I swear by the stars' positions-and that is a mighty oath if you only knew. (Qur'an, 56:75-76) The term "black hole" was first employed in 1969 by the American physicist John Wheeler. Previously, we imagined that we we...

All About Ramadan The ninth month of the Islamic calendar is Ramadan, a time for Muslims to focus on purifying their soul through prayer and self-sacrifice. During Ramadan, more than a billion Muslims around the world observe one of the Five Pillars (duties) of Islam: Fasting. Each day of Ramadan, from sunrise to sunset, Muslims aged twelve and older traditionally practice fasting. The Arabic word for fasting literally means to "refrain," which is what is religiously proscribed - not just abstaining from eating and drinking, but also restraining every part of one's physical body. The mouth, for example, is restrained from idle talk and gossip, while the ears are restrained from listening to obscenities. In this way, a Muslim engages his or her entire body in the physical observance of the Ramadan fast.

Muhammad and the Holy Quran Muslims believe that during the nineth month of the Muslim calender, the month of Ramadan, the Holy Quran (Koran) "was sent down from heaven, a guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation". One day Muhammad was sitting alone in the wilderness near Mecca when the Angel Gabriel appeared to him. The Angel commanded Muhammad to read. Muhammad responded "I am not a reader." The Angel Gabriel then taught Muhammad some verses from the Quran, which Muhammad memorized. These revelations continued for 10 days. Islamic scholars believe that the first revelation occurred on the night of the 27th day of Ramadan. This night is called the Laylat-al-Qadr (Night of Power). And according to the Quran, this is when God determines the course of the world for the following year. The receiving of the Holy Quran is to the Muslims what the receiving of the Ten Commandments from Mount Sinai is to the Jews and Christians (see Shavuot on...

In order to convert to Islam, one must utter the shahaadah with complete conviction. Salat (prayer) Muslims pray five times daily, at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and night.
