Men and Women are created equal

South Carolina State Senator Thomas Corbin insults a female colleague, claiming women are “a lesser cut of meat” because the Bible teaches Eve was created from Adam’s rib. In response, Islam4mankind requests religious leaders and all men of all faiths to speak up against this corrupt, ignorant belief where some falsely think that men are better than women. In fact, man was created in the womb of women - he should ponder on this and be thankful to the creator.  Islam4mankind encourages all religious leaders to address this issue of superiority complex amongst men. Islam honored women in society by elevating them and protecting them with unprecedented rights. Islam gave women the right to education, to marry someone of their choice, to retain their identity after marriage, to divorce, to work, to own and sell property, to seek protection by the law, to vote, and to participate in civic and political engagement. Islam further confirms that both men and women are equal i...

Purpose of life by Imam Zaid Abdelrahim

Imam Zaid talked about an American mathematician journey from Atheism to Islam . The following article is edited from : US Professor Dr. Jeffrey Lang – How i embraced islam? Dr. Jeffrey Lang is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kansas, one of the biggest universities in the United States. He started his religious journey on Jan 30, 1954, when he was born in a Roman Catholic family in Bridgeport, Connecticut. As a young lecturer in mathematics at San Francisco University, Lang found his religion where God is finally a reality. That was shown to him by a few of the Muslim friends he had met at the university. “We talked about religion. I asked them my questions, and I was really surprised by how carefully they had thought out their answers,” Lang said. “Painters can make the eyes of a portrait appear to be following you from one place to another, but which author can write a scripture that anticipates your daily vicissitudes?… Each night I would formulate...

Purification of the hearth

Purification of the hearth : The physical heart, which houses the spiritual heart, beats about 100,000 times a day, pumping two gallons of blood per minute and over 100 gallons per hour. If one were to attempt to carry 100 gallons of water (whose density is lighter than blood) from one place to another, it would be an exhausting task. Yet the human heart does this every hour of every day for an entire lifetime without respite. The vascular system transporting life-giving blood is over 60,000 miles long – more than two times the circumference of the earth. So when we conceive of our blood being pumped throughout our bodies, know that this means that it travels through 60,000 miles of a closed vascular system that connects all the parts of the body – all the vital organs and living tissues – to this incredible heart. We now know that the heart starts beating before the brain is fully fashioned, that is, without the benefit of a fully formed central nervous system. The dominant...

2019 Celebration Marathon

The Town of Celebration is located five minutes from Disney World and twenty minutes from the Orlando International Airport with easy highway access. Celebration Marathon is considered one of America's prettiest neighborhoods (as selected by Forbes Magazine) on what may be the flattest course you will ever run!  The course is certified with USATF, so it is a Boston qualifier.   Celebration is where I ran my first marathon in 2014, the town’s inaugural race. I just completed my 5th Celebration marathon and 7th overall race on January 27, 2019. Since that inaugural run in 2014 and discovering the joy it brought to my life, I’ve been hooked. I enjoy the challenge of growing my abilities and testing my limits and I like to choose races whose entry fees benefit charities and good causes. The Celebration Marathon helps fund scholarships for high school seniors across Osceola County. Last Sunday, however, was more challenging than usual because of the “cold” weather (by Florida s...

Atheism is blindness of eyes , mind and heart

Atheism is the lack of reason :  Quran 2 :164 Surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation (Or: differences) of the night and the day-time, and the ships that run in the sea with whatever profits mankind, and whatever water Allah sends down from the heaven - so therewith He gives life to the earth after its death and disseminates therein all kinds of beast - and the (constant) turning about of the winds, and the clouds subjected between the heaven and the earth, (these) are indeed signs for people who consider. A man brought a human bone to prophet Muhammad and ask how could God gave life to this decayed bone ? Allah replied in the Quran : 36:78/83 And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." Is not He who created the heavens and the eart...

Quran miracles : Embryology

The Quran on Human Embryonic Development: In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man’s embryonic development:  We created man from an extract of clay.  Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed.  Then We made the drop into an  alaqah  (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the  alaqah  into a  mudghah  (chewed substance)...  1  (Quran, 23:12-14) Literally, the Arabic word  alaqah  has three meanings: (1) leech, (2) suspended thing, and (3) blood clot. In comparing a leech to an embryo in the  alaqah stage, we find similarity between the two 2  as we can see in figure 1.  Also, the embryo at this stage obtains nourishment from the blood of the mother, similar to the leech, which feeds on the blood of others. 3 Figure 1:  Drawings illustrating the similarities in appearance between a leech and a human embryo at the  alaqah  stage. (Leech dr...
