Sorah Ad-Dhuha ( The Forenoon ) - Verses Number 11

وَالضُّحَىٰ ( 1 )

By the Glorious Morning Light,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ( 2 )

And by the Night when it is still,-

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ( 3 )

Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ ( 4 )

And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ ( 5 )

And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ ( 6 )

Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ ( 7 )

And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )

And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ( 9 )

Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ( 10 )

Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ( 11 )

But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!

Night Prayer in RamadanA most rewarding and fulfilling part of a Muslim's worship are those blessed moments that he spends praying in the depth of the night, privately addressing his Great Lord, sincerely glorifying Him, humbly imploring Him - beseeching His forgiveness and asking Him for favors. The voluntary "night prayer", or qiyaam, is indispensable for a person's moral, spiritual, and physical welfare. Yet, it is greatly misunderstood and largely neglected by most Muslims

The difference between the shee'ah and the muslimsAn important book shows the corrupt belief of Shi’ites. The author said in the introduction, “I wrote this book for a number of reasons including: (1) The increased efforts of the Shi’ites to spread their ideology in the Muslim world. (2) The danger of this deviant sect poses on Islam. (3) The ignorance of many Muslims about the danger of this deviant sect. (4) The corrupt Aqeedah (belief system) of the Shi’ites, which includes polytheism, defamation of the Quran and defamation of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with them all. (5) Their extreme beliefs in relation to their imams.

Al-Adab Al-MufradTranslated from the original Arabic into English, provides a vivid insight into the moral conduct of the early Muslims in a society led by the perfect character of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ('I was only sent to perfect good character'). The Prophet's Companions represent excellent examples of men of vigorous moral stature whose conduct inspired and attracted the masses to the fold of Islam wherever they went during the expansion of the Muslim territories, and contrary to the stereotypic portrayal, in the West, of Islam as being spread by the sword.
