Sorah At-Takwir ( The Overthrowing ) - Verses Number 29
إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ( 1 ) 
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ ( 2 )
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ( 3 )
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ( 4 )
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ( 5 )
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ( 6 )
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ( 7 )
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ ( 8 )
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ ( 9 )
For what crime she was killed;
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ( 10 )
When the scrolls are laid open;
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ ( 11 )
When the world on High is unveiled;
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ( 12 )
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ( 13 )
And when the Garden is brought near;-
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ ( 14 )
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ ( 15 )
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ ( 16 )
Go straight, or hide;
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ( 17 )
And the Night as it dissipates;
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ( 18 )
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ( 19 )
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ ( 20 )
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ ( 21 )
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ ( 22 )
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ ( 23 )
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ( 24 )
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ ( 25 )
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ( 26 )
When whither go ye?
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ( 27 )
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ( 28 )
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ ( 29 )
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.

- 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.'

- The Shiites And Al-Aqsa MosquePerhaps some people will disapprove that we write about the position that Aqsa Mosque occupies in the hearts of the Muslims and in the Sharee’ah of Islam. For, the sanctity of Al-Aqsa mosque is an incontestable fact among the Muslims and the position it occupies does not need any further explanation. The merits of this mosque are established by explicit texts from the Qur’an and the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslims. However, we are sure that the reader of this book will excuse us for the facts we are going to reveal, and realize how much we have been deceived by some people who claim to support Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Land of Israa and to defend the oppressed Palestinian people and their sacred sites. Therefore, it is very pertinent to rise up in defence of Al-Aqsa Mosque and to call attention to the fact that the Shiite books and their authorized sources, which they wrote with their own hands, indicate that they have no regard or recognition for Al-Aqsa Mosque in its present location and that, according to them. They also hold that ‘real Al-Aqsa mosque’ is in the Heaven and that majority of people mistakenly believe that it is the mosque that is in Palestine!! We have tried to not leave out those claims without refutations that show their falsity. This is a contribution we can make to reveal the truth so that all the Muslims will be aware of the enormity of the deception and fraud of those folks. Through research and exhaustive study, we have affirmed that all those Jews and orientalists who have attempted to cast doubt on the position of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque relied heavily, in support their vicious claims, on Shiite sources. They thereby used these sources as a weapon against foundations of our Ummah with an aim to shaken the position of Al-Aqsa Mosque in our hearts. We deem it suitable to point it out here that our goal is to unite the ranks of this Ummah to support our sacred sites and to love those individuals whom Allah used to win these places for Islam. We also intend to block the way in the face of these Jewish ‘professors’ and orientalists who find in the Shiite books, a ready tool for weakening the position that Al-Aqsa Mosque occupies in the hearts of the Muslims. As such, those dubious narrations whose goal is to cast doubt on the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque must be meticulously scrutinized and the sanctity of that mosque must be proved through argument and authentic evidences.
