Silsala-e-Roz-o-Shab

· January 7th, 2010- No Comments »

I like to talk about winter, especially the kind we’re having these days. Around 2-3 degrees. That’s not snowy at all, but, nonetheless, chilling to the bone. Yet, it cannot be discarded as cold, frigid or frosty, as if non-invigorating; rather very poetic, mystifying, contemplative. No matter how difficult may it be to survive outside […]

To understand the benefits read the post titled: “A function of poetry and a view of the 7th valley in the tale of the seh-morgh“.
Clearly the strength one can derive from Love, by reciprocating it, is priceless and even Oxygen for a person who wants to make this journey of ‘waking up’.

The beauty of Muslims’ prayer

Served by: Umer Toor Blog· November 16th, 2009- No Comments »

“Last Friday, after the dawn prayer, I stood outside a mosque on a remote mountain in New Mexico. The planet Mars shone like an aircraft coming in to land. But silence reigned: the dawn was, as the Koran puts it, breathing. The trees and stars were, in its words, prostrate before God.
The Muslim life […]

Going on…

I have moved to Oxford. My family is not happy and I have had a fair bit of grief from them. But then again that was expected.
I do quite love Oxford… I am settling in well and I am still awe struck by the old buildings, the architecture, and the fact that there is everything […]

Definition of ‘Adab’

Served by: Umer Toor Blog· September 9th, 2009- No Comments »

- Ahmed Javaid, Principal Iqbal Scholar, Iqbal Academy. From his lecture on “Religion and Culture.”

QURAN IN RAMADAAN: Soft or Stony Hearts?

Served by: The STRUCTURE of ENTROPY· August 23rd, 2009- No Comments »

1430, 01 Ramadaan:

ثُمَّ قَسَت قُلوبُكُم مِن بَعدِ ذٰلِكَ فَهِىَ كَالحِجارَةِ أَو أَشَدُّ قَسوَةً ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الحِجارَةِ لَما يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنهُ الأَنهٰرُ ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنها لَما يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخرُجُ مِنهُ الماءُ ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنها لَما يَهبِطُ مِن خَشيَةِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَمَا اللَّهُ بِغٰفِلٍ عَمّا تَعمَلونَ
And yet, after all this, your hearts hardened and became like rocks, or […]

We are bruised by internal strifes. We are down with the nuisance of militancy. But we are rising somewhere else, on the horizon of World Cricket. The world is looking at us with awe, with wonder. We are about to dazzle their eyes with the flashes of our talent. We’re about to lift the coveted […]
