Sorah Al-Humazah ( The Slanderer ) - Verses Number 9
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ ( 1 ) 
Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ ( 2 )
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ ( 3 )
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ( 4 )
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ ( 5 )
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ ( 6 )
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ ( 7 )
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ( 8 )
It shall be made into a vault over them,
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ ( 9 )
In columns outstretched.

- Religious Freedom in Saudi ArabiaThe annual Religious Freedom Reports released by US State Department often include sections about religious freedom in Saudi Arabia. These reports are officially distributed by the State Department and then circulated amongst the centers of research in the West as well as the international media outlets and other channels. Saudi Arabia comes on top of concern of those involved in these reports, due to its religious and political significance. Accordingly, it becomes incumbent on us, as Saudis, to discuss the sections in these reports which cover religious freedom in our country and provide facts that are not included in these reports. While discussing these reports, we should explain to the world our view point vis-à-vis these reports. We should also allow the reader to discover the truth as stated therein and according to criteria upon which many fair-minded, rational people agreed with us.

- Rules Governing The Criticism Of HadithAn summarised text detailing the rules governing the Criticism of Hadeeth. From its introduction -'A hadith (pl. ahadith) is composed of two parts: the matn (text) and the isnad (chain of reporters). A text may seem to be logical and reasonable but it needs an authentic isnad with reliable reporters to be acceptable; 'Abdullah b. al-Mubarak (d. 181 AH) is reported to have said, "The isnad is part of the religion: had it not been for the isnad, whoever wished to would have said whatever he liked." During the lifetime of the Prophet (SAS) and after his death, his Companions (Sahabah) used to refer to him when quoting his sayings. The Successors (Tabi'un) followed suit; some of them used to quote the Prophet (SAS) through the Companions while others would omit the intermediate authority - such a hadith was known as mursal (loose). It was found that the missing link between the Successor and the Prophet (SAS) might be one person, i.e. a Companion, or two persons, the extra person being an older Successor who heard the hadith from the Companion.'
