Sorah Al-Mursalat ( Those sent forth ) - Verses Number 50
وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ ( 11 )

And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ( 14 )

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّاءٍ مَّهِينٍ ( 20 )

Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ الْقَادِرُونَ ( 23 )

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ شَامِخَاتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَاكُم مَّاءً فُرَاتًا ( 27 )

And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
انطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ ( 29 )

(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
انطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِي ثَلَاثِ شُعَبٍ ( 30 )

"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنَ اللَّهَبِ ( 31 )

"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
كَأَنَّهُ جِمَالَتٌ صُفْرٌ ( 33 )

"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَاكُمْ وَالْأَوَّلِينَ ( 38 )

That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَالٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 41 )

As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ( 43 )

"Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).
كُلُوا وَتَمَتَّعُوا قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجْرِمُونَ ( 46 )

(O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.

- The Sword of Allah: Khalid bin Al-WaleedThe Sword of Allah: Khalid bin Al-Waleed: Khalid bin Al-Waleed was one of the greatest generals in history, and one of the greatest heroes of Islam. Besides him, Genghis Khan was the only other general to remain undefeated in his entire military life. This book was written by the late Lieutenant-General A.I. Akram of the Pakistan Army, in October 1969. The author learnt Arabic in order to draw on the earliest historical sources and he visited every one of Khalid's battlefields in order to draw analyses from the viewpoint of military strategy, including reconciling conflicting historians' accounts. The book was originally published by the Army Education Press, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and printed by Feroze Sons Publishers in Lahore, Pakistan. The excellence of the book was such that it has been translated from English into Arabic and is currently sold in bookshops throughout the Arab World.

- Knowledge Mandates ActionIqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal By Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee. This is the second book in the "Classical Knowledge Series", which is a collection of selected scholarly works from the past that deal with the subject of religious knowledge. The first book in this blessed series was “The Book of Knowledge” written by Imaam Abu Khaithamah Zuhayr bin Harb An-Nasaa’ee (Died 234H), may Allah have mercy on him. Since that book served as an introduction to knowledge, its virtues, merits and manners, it seemed proper that the second book be dedicated to the next level of knowledge, which is its result and outcome, and that is righteous deeds. And what better work to present on this subject than the classic and well-known treatise of the distinguished Imaam, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee, 'Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal' (Knowledge Mandates Action).
