November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

BismEm


Finding reasons for occurrences does not mean those occurrences become 'science' and thus one should move away from Faith.  Nothing can be more incorrect, outright stupid and boastful than that.  Allah has created the entire universe on the basis of various laws & rules (which people often refer to as 'laws or rules of nature').  For example, look at Verse 67:19:  "Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them ? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things."   Allah mentions about the flight of birds and that only Allah upholds them.  The reference here is for us to reflect upon the details of His laws on the basis of which He enables birds to fly.  Modern study to determine how birds fly will be called "science."  But actually this is a system and process ordained by Him.  So, how can anyone in their right mind think science and Religion are separate fields or that science refutes Religion?  Science is an integral part of Religion.  And by "Religion" it means the Monotheistic Religion or Tawheed.

Also let us be clear about the difference between the creation/invention of knowledge and the discovery of knowledge.  While humans can only discover, The Almighty invents and creates the laws.   

Reminding ourselves of the first Words from Allah Almighty that descended on the beloved Prophet (pbuh). were the first 5 Verses of the 96th Surah (Al-Alaq).   Allah says in those 5 Verses.

BismAllah Ar Rehman Ar Raheem

Read: In the name of your Rab Who created,
Created man from a clot.
Read: And your Rab is the Most Bounteous,
Who teaches by the pen,
Teaches man that which he knew not."

Surah Al-Alaq (96:1-5)


All praise be to HIM alone.    First of all, please know, the term "man" refers to entire humanity, all humankind, not just to the male gender.   Most importantly, The Almighty refers to education, research and discoveries in the very first Revelation He sent to this world via Angel Jibraeel who brought it to the Final Messenger.  The term "pen" stands for knowledge.  Every bit of knowledge in all spheres of life acquired by humans are facts and information already designed and created by Allah Almighty long before their discovery by the people.  In other words, whatever awareness we acquire in the field of learning through our reflection, cognition, hardwork and experiments, are works planned and ordained by The Almighty much prior to their discovery by humankind.   Every bit of knowledge is an indication of the Works of Allah.  Therefor every shred and every slice of knowledge we extract through our study and research is praise to Allah.   Unfortunately, humans are only interested in grabbing the credit for themselves, mixing up creation of knowledge with the discovery of knowledge.  Knowledge (that initiates with the "pen") is planned, created and perfected by Allah, be it physics, chemistry, maths, geometry and all the various formulas of scientific works etc. etc.   If Allah wants humans to acquire that knowledge which He invented, created and designed, then humans discover it through study and research.  Otherwise they cannot discover it.  Thus, there remains many facts and phenomena (comprising of knowledge) inside and outside this world which humans still don't know and may never know, unless He grants permission.  Only HE knows the complete expanse of knowledge because He designed, prepared and created every portion of all facts and figures.

Knowledge and discoveries are meant to compliment Allah Almighty, and NOT to be viewed by humans as their own creation to challenge Allah, as much of humanity pathetically tends to do.

Wonderfully perceptive piece.   I conveyed this information and read this post in our fortnightly virtual discussions last Friday, Alhumdulilah.   It was quite awakening for everyone who found themselves focused on a point they hadn't thought too carefully earlier.

Yes, it's a lovely piece, Alhumdulilah.  I had read it a few months earlier, somehow forgot to comment.  Perceiving the difference between invention|creation and discovery is such a vital fact.  While Allah creates not just the humans, all living beings and everything in the universe, He is the One Who also designs the laws and formulas on the basis of which everything inside and outside the world works.  Humans can only discover what HE already created.   Since humans have limitations, hence only to discover, they have to work hard and struggle, and when they discover something they assume they are the creators and inventers. 

Science is an outstanding creation of Allah.  Science compliments Allah right through and through.  The problem is with humans who are blinded by their pride sprouting from their own incapacities. 

Thus, as one of the most well-known scientists, Albert Einstein, said:  “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”   Einstein's words are meant to show the connection of science with Religion .. because Religion is directly about Allah The Almighty and science & its rules are the creation of Allah The Almighty.   Westerners often refer to this quote as "iconoclastic,"  characterized as Einstein's deviation from "cherished beliefs."   Indeed this is true but not in the manner those Westerners presume.   Einstein was trying to correct the altered Christian beliefs that have notoriously been anti-science.  The altered Christian faith has never been able to understand the creations of The Almighty as widely as His creations do exist.  It's the same with the Jews.  Both altered (man-written) Old and New Testaments are thus full of unscientific contents (similar to man-written Hadith).  This has been going on for centuries, resulting in pitting science against Religion among the Christians and all other faiths except ISLAM.  The Noble Quran is the only original Divine Book that still exists and totally in conformity with scientific laws which are created by the Divine Power.  This is precisely what Einstein's quote alludes to.  Science - as a creation of Allah Almighty - is very much within the sphere of the works and miracles of The ALMIGHTY.   Alhumdulilah, a million times!

Many thanks for adding and explicating and  contextualizing Einstein's quote, Sister Zeynab.  Insh'Allah, I'll mention this point too in our next virtual session.

A very correct quote, and you've analyzed it very sensibly, Subhan'Allah.    I can think of nothing more to add.
