11 .Disasters Darwinism Brought to Hu
Fascism and communism, which made humanity suffer dark times, are considered to be opposed ideas. However, these ideologies are fed from the same source, on the grounds of which they can attract masses to their side. This source is the materialist philosophy and its adaptation to nature, which is Darwin's theory of evolution. The acknowledgement of the scientific invalidity of this theory that serves as a basis for cruel dictators and vicious ideological trends will bring about the end of all these detrimental ideologies.

David combining strength and devotion
Bear
with patience whatever they say, and remember Our servant David who was endowed
with strength. He always turned to Us. We caused the mountains to join him in
extolling Our limitless glory in the evening and at sunrise, and likewise the
birds in flocks: They all would echo his praise. We strengthened his kingdom;
We endowed him with wisdom and decisive judgment. (SAD: 38: 17-20)
With these verses, the surah begins a long passage that is devoted to aspects
of the histories of earlier messengers so that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) would remember them and disregard all the rejections, accusations, amazement
and fabrications the unbelievers leveled at him. All this was certain to weigh
hard on anyone, but the Prophet is told to bear it all and remain patient in
adversity. At the same time, the stories present the effects of God’s
grace as it was bestowed on earlier messengers. It shows how God granted them
favors of all sorts, including power, authority, care and blessings. This contrasts
with the amazement expressed by the Quraish at God’s favoring the Prophet
with His message. He was not a unique case among God’s messengers. To
some of them God granted a kingdom, in addition to their being His messengers.
Among them one was favored with the mountains and birds echoing his glorification
and praise of God, and to another the wind and jinn were made subservient. Such
were David and Solomon. What is strange, then, for
God to have chosen from among all the Quraish, Muhammad, the man of truth, upon
whom to bestow His revelations?

Five special privileges for Muslims
Jabir
ibn Abdullah quotes the Prophet (peace be upon him) as saying:
“I have been given five privileges which were not given to anyone before
me: I have been supported by fear traveling a month ahead of me; the earth has
been assigned to me as a place of worship and a source of purification.
“Anyone from my community may pray wherever he
is when prayer is due. War gains have been made lawful to me while they were
not made lawful to anyone before. I have been allowed to intercede on behalf
of my followers. Prophets before me used to be sent to their own local communities
while I am sent to all mankind.” (Related by Al-Bukhari).
The Prophet outlines these five privileges, acknowledging God’s favors
and expressing his gratitude. He is in no way boasting about them. He is also
highlighting them to his community so that they will remain grateful to God
for them. The first privilege is that the Prophet
was supported with fear being struck into the hearts of his enemies.

Woman with blessings
Whenever
Juwayriyyah is mentioned as one of the Prophet’s wives, the
blessings she brought to her own people is often highlighted. It is universally
agreed by Muslim historians that no woman brought her own people greater blessings.
When she came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) seeking his help in securing
the price she agreed with her master to buy her own freedom, the Prophet offered
her to pay that price himself and he would marry her. She agreed, feeling that
would transform her own fortunes. She little thought of the wider effect of her
decision to marry the Prophet.
As
we mentioned , scores of her tribesmen and women had fallen captive in their
attempt to wage war against the Prophet and his companions. According to the
universally applied norms at the time, these people became slaves, unless they
managed to pay their own ransom. They were actually taken into Muslim people’s
homes to begin their life of slavery. However, when Juwayriyyah became the Prophet’s
wife, all Muslims who took a captive from her tribe, Al-Mustalaq, freed them.
They said: “These people are now the Prophet’s in-laws. How can
they remain our slaves?” Thus, more than a hundred families of her own
people were set free, without being charged a ransom, or having to pay anything
for their freedom.

Nigeria Holds 1st National Islamic Summit
The Governor
of Nigeria's Kano State , Ibrahim Shekarau ,
yesterday opened the First Islamic Summit in the city of Kano. In his opening
address to the summit - which was organized by the
Muslim Centre for Research & Planning - the governor expressed
the need for Muslims the world over to re-focus their attention on unity and
utilize their God-given resources to become productive and solid.
The three-day summit is taking place under the chairmanship of former Nigerian
President, Ibrahim Babangida . Its goal is to appraise the religion
in the context of contemporary global challenges.
In a goodwill message, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar
called on Muslims to unite in the interest of the religion and peaceful coexistence
with others.
Likewise, the Emir of the city of Kano, Dr. Ado Bayero , called
on the Muslim Ummah to be united and God-fearing in their day to day dealings.

Who is more shy?
It is well known
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was extremely resolute in defending Islam
and the Muslim community. He would not accept any compromise in matters of faith
and would stand firm in resisting any injustice that may be aimed at even the
weaker elements in the community. In fact he would defend the rights of non-Muslim
people, provided that they did not participate in war against Islam and Muslims.
Yet with all this firmness and courage, the Prophet was a very shy person when
it came to his own personal matters or when the discussion involved some intimate
matters such as body discharges.
Ayesha reports: “A woman asked
the Prophet about the form of taking a bath after she has finished her period.
‘How do I conduct my bath,’ she said. He replied: ‘Take a
piece of cotton, perfumed with musk, and use it to purify yourself.’ She
asked: ‘How do I purify myself with it?’ He said: ‘Well, use
it and purify yourself.’ She said: ‘How?’ He said: ‘All
glory be to God! Do purify yourself.’ I pulled her toward me and said
to her: ‘Use it to remove any traces of blood.’” (Related
by Al-Bukhari).
Muslims used to ask the Prophet about every little detail. They realized that
Islam meant much more than a belief or a conviction that certain principles
are true.
