Triple Talaq Bill does not ban but validates it
Lok Sabha has passed the Triple Talaq Bill. I have always been an opponent of Triple Talaq and consider it totally un-Islamic.

Sexual Assaults and Murders: Judicial and Social systems more to be blamed than schools
The daily news in recent months has become nauseating. For months, it is nothing more than violence, hatred and rapes that dominate the news. First, it was cow vigilantism.

In a “celebrated” judgment, recently, a nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court has ruled that Indians enjoy a fundamental right to privacy, that it is intrinsic to life and liberty and thus comes under Article 21 of the Indian constitution.

Medical Science behind Wudu (Video)
Islamic system is neither one-dimensional nor two-dimensional; it is three-dimensional giving equal importance to Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Fundamental Prohibitions.

GST: Have Uniform tax on Accumulated Wealth, not on Income and Expenditure
Having a uniform tax at the national level is a welcome move. But the problem is that the world philosophy of Taxation based on taxing Income and Expenditure rather than accumulated wealth is so much tilted in the favour of the rich that it ends up in accentuating an already dangerous economic disparity with every...

Credit Card: Exploitation at its Extreme, None Concerned
Though the whole Banking System is exploitative, Credit Card has left every other scheme of exploitation far behind.

Every pound of husband’s flesh needed, fathers and brothers not to be touched
It is a strange world of relationships. India is even stranger. While we tend to always think positively about some relationships, we try to search negatives in others.

Political Empowerment is much more than the election results
Following the latest elections, there is renewed frustration and a feeling of hopelessness and desperation in the Muslim community.

In elections... Continue Reading →

Muslim Empowerment Some Possibilities [Lecture ]
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind
Rather than Triple Talaq being a “Human Rights issue”, “Human Rights” itself needs to be debated
It is now high time the concept of Human rights was re-examined. Human rights are nothing if they do not guarantee the security of the common people, including men, women and children, old, young and yet-to-be born. Islam has a larger plan, which aims at Human Security, “human rights” being only one of the means... Continue Reading →
Life Expectancy, Islam and Muslims — Part 1
Qur’anic (Dynamic) Paradigm of Health: — 29 In the last chapter, I introduced a new definition of life expectancy, True Life Expectancy or TLE.

Life Expectancy at Birth vs. Life Expectancy at Conception
Qur’anic (Dynamic) Paradigm of Health: — 28 Discussion It is clear from the statistics and their analysis that life expectancy is being defined in a specific way to present a false image of “development”.

Destruction: Bush started it, Trump will complete

Despite obnoxious campaigns by BJP-Media nexus, Rahul Gandhi emerging as the pivot of Opposition…
But his people-friendly rather than corporate-friendly approach is what irks the media and the corporate. What I find in him the most important sign of true maturity is the sign of “Immaturity” for the corporate. He will become “mature” for them as soon as he starts saying things that favour them or when he appears... Continue Reading →
Muslims “Minority”, “Second Largest Majority” or/and “Part of Majority”?
It should be clear to one and all that irrespective of what they publicly speak, the majority community of the country, especially certain forces representing them, and the Governmental institutions would love more to keep Muslims behaving as a minority, an insignificant minority, rather than assist them behaving as the Second Largest Majority or even...
