Islamic Revival

  1) Allah (swt) sent the Messenger Muhammad (saw) with Islam to mankind in its entirety. So he began with the Arabs whilst the Qur’an Al-Kareem had been revealed in their language. Its revelation came in the age when the Arabic language was at is ripest and indeed in the golden age of this language. This was at a time when the Arab tribes had established special arts markets so that they could present their poetry and compete with one another in respect to their skills and prowess. The Arabs understood the Qur’an and the Hadith because the language which the Ayaat and Ahadith came in represented a natural talent, trait and inborn disposition which they were endowed with. They could fully take in the meanings of its worded expressions and understood its styles. Consequently, each of them would take the Hukm Shar’i that he required without difficulty. The situation of the Muslims then continued like that in the era of the Sahabah (ra) and the Taabi’een until the beginning

On the 3 rd of October, Turkey announced that the European Commission had signed two direct grants worth €600 million to support Syrian refugees and host communities in Turkey in the areas of education and health.

Tahaarah is a Shart (condition) from the conditions of the validity of the Salaah and like Haid (menses) is A Maani’ (prevention) for the performance of the Salaah. 2) Usool ul-Fiqh includes studies in relation to the language and its principles because these principles are necessary for Ijtihad . This is like: The studies about the Haqeeqah (literal) and Majaaz (metaphorical), the meanings of the Huroof Al-Jarr (prepositions), the Huroof Ash-Shart , and the general Alfaazh (expressions) amongst othe
