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.

- The ruling concerning Mawlid an-NabawiIn this book, Shaikh Saleh al-Fawzan has enumerated several reasons behind the prohibition of celebrating the Mawlid, and explicitly clarified the major doubts raised up by the proponents of Mawlid; and this includes the claims that, Celebration of Mawlid is honouring the Prophet, Mawlid is celebrated by a large number of people in many towns and cities, Commemorating Mawlid renews the memories of the Prophet, Mawlid is a Bidah Husna (good innovation) because it is a means of showing gratitude towards Allah for sending the Prophet. The saying of Umar, ‘What a good Bidah is this?’ Celebration of Mawlid an-Nabawi is out of love for the Prophet and an expression of one's love, which is permissible.

- 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.'

- Some Sincere Advice To Every ChristianMost people agree to the fact that Allah’s (God’s) Word cannot be contradictory. What He spoke about Himself must be true. He made Himself known as The Creator, The One, The Originator, and The Provider. He is the First, nothing is before Him; The Last, nothing is after Him; The Most High, nothing is above Him; The Most Near, nothing is beyond His reach, and He encompasses everything while He is above heavens, distinct and separate from His creatures. Great in His Majesty and Honor, Most Merciful, Severe in Punishment, All-Knower, Most Compassionate, All-Wise, and All-Just; Most Perfect in all of His Names and Attributes. He does not beget, nor is He begotten. There is no equal to Him, and there is nothing like unto him, and thus He alone deserves to be worshipped. In essence, the religion as revealed1 to nations before us and to mankind up to the Day of Resurrection, calls for the worship of none but God (Allah).
