Sorah Al-Qari'ah ( The Striking Hour ) - Verses Number 11
الْقَارِعَةُ ( 1 ) 
The Striking Calamity -
مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ( 2 )
What is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ( 3 )
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ ( 4 )
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ ( 5 )
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ( 6 )
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ( 7 )
He will be in a pleasant life.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ( 8 )
But as for one whose scales are light,
فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ ( 9 )
His refuge will be an abyss.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ ( 10 )
And what can make you know what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ ( 11 )
It is a Fire, intensely hot.

- The World of the Jinn and DevilsIn the work before you, Dr. Umar Al-Ashqar, a well-known contemporary scholar of Islam, has attempted to tackle two important topics. The first topic is that of the characteristics of the jinn. This is a difficult topic for many reasons. One of them is that the devils are known to be liars. Thus, even when a person does encounter them, he cannot put much trust in what they claim about themselves. Therefore, one must virtually rely only on the statements of the Quran and the authentic hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The second topic is the characteristics and methodology of Satan himself. It is no coincidence that Allah has mentioned Satan, his goals, his plots and his allies throughout the entire Quran. This is because Satan is man’s greatest enemy. The believer must know the key to defending himself from Satan.

- Bid'ah (Innovation)The Islamic definition of Bid’ah: Imaam Ash-Shaafi’i, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “A Bid’ah is anything that has no basis in the Qur’aan, Sunnah or sayings of any of the companions.” Ibn Al-Jawzi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “A Bid’ah is any form of worship that did not exist (at the time of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and his companions) then later it was innovated.” Ibn Rajab, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “A Bid’ah is any form of worship which has no basis in the Sharee’ah which would warrant its legislation.”

- A Calm Dialogue between Sunnah and ShiaIn this book, Dr. Abdur-Rahman Dimashqeyyah shows and discusses the wrong believes in Shii doctrine. He said in his introduction, "… My intention is simply to make clear to every Shia what the books of their religious leaders contain. These are things that many people still do not realize. My intention is to maintain an objective position, far from bigotry and blind allegiance to traditions. My only reason for writing it is to earn the pleasure of Allah and to clarify the truth to all who are interested to hear it. We should all free ourselves from prejudice and wild ideas, and avoid making inflammatory and insulting charges that fuel the emotions, block the path to truth, and widen the chasm between us. These things do nothing but dissipate the spirit of peace and harmony."
