Sixty Tips From Quran Lessons derived from The Holy Qur'an that apply to our day to day life.
Women's Liberation Through Islam Today people think that women are liberated in the West and that the women's liberation movement began in the 20th century. Actually, the women's liberation movement was not begun by women but was revealed by God to a man in the seventh century by the name of Muhammad (peace be upon him), who is known as the last Prophet of Islam. The Qur'an, the Traditions of the Prophet (Hadith or Sunnah), Bibi Fatimah (as) and the teachings of the 12 Imams are the sources from which every Muslim woman derives her rights and duties. . .
The Status of Women in Islam In order to have a correct understanding of Islamic ideals it is necessary to distinguish between women's status in so-called Muslim societies, and her status according to Islamic laws, principles and values. It is unjust to regard Islam - as a religion and law - responsible for the backwardness of the Muslims, nor is it right to convict Islam - in any one of its aspects - because of the backward social life lived by the Muslims ever since they drifted away from its teachings, and neglected it in practice and application . . .

Nahjul Balagha (Peak of Eloquence)
Author: Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)
This collection is the most reputed collection of Imam Ali a.s., which was compiled by Sayyid Radhi towards the 4th century of Hijra. This mode of collection and compilation is in itself enough to convince an unbiased person that Sayyid Radhi's own style of writing or power of expression has nothing to do with it, but that he has confined himself to collecting Amirul Mumineen's utterances from various places and putting them together.
Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) All of them reached a place known as "Ghadeer-e-Khum" on the land of "Juhfa". The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) ordered them to stop. All of them did stop at the behest of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.). They were saying to themselves, "It appears that some vitally important problem has confronted us." It was just the same that they were thinking of. ...Then, he took the hand of Ali (a.s.) and hoisted it like a flag, so that all of the people might see. Thereafter, he said, "I am the guardian (wali) of whosoever, (he should know that) Ali is also his guardian. Oh God! Be the friend of the friends of Ali and be the enemy of his enemies. Help those who help him and be the enemy of anyone who fights him. Yes, those who are present convey my words to those who are not present here. I hope they will lend ears and accept it."

Many times people say they would rather not listen to a certain speaker, because he talks about "the same thing" all the time, or hear someone exclaim that the masjid needs some new books in the library because they have already read everything that is currently there.
The attributes of Ali: The Voice of Human Justice The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali, peace be on him, is the most distinguished personality of Islam after Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be on him. His entire life is the life of struggle for the advancement of Islam. He was a great combatant, a great judge, a great philanthropist and the most pious person of his time.
The Quran (Qur'an or Koran) is the holy book of Islam, the word of Allah revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The term Quran means recitation; the word refers either to a section of the revelation or to the full collection of revelations. The major theme of the Quran is God's rapport with humankind. The principal doctrine in the Quran is that only one God and one true faith exist. All people will endure a final judgment, with the just being rewarded and the sinners being punished.

Author: Sayyid Sa'eed Akhtar Rizvi

Those willing to read the book online, visit the following website: http://www.al-islam.org/slavery/ The prevailing opinion is that slavery has been committed to the dustbins of history, yet the effect of this odious barbarism primarily against the African people manifest itself well into the 21st century. Since its formal abolition in 1863, it has assumed a more devious face, in the form of "refurbished" slavery.
