’ The Creator has created two creations man and woman in order to make society function properly. Both have their own responsibilities according to their capabilities and together they make the peaceful life a reality. Both man and woman deserve equal respect in their respective domains. Western feminism actually denies this human reality. First of all let’s be clear that feminism and rights of women are different issues. E.g. to give education to women is not feminism but it is a right of women; to abolish the cruel ‘Sati’ practice is not feminism but it is a right of women; inheritance of property is also a right of women.

Islam gave these rights and more to women 1400 years ago. Western feminism is a dangerous and irrational one. It says women should be liberated from the tedious hum-drum of babies, bottl...

It teaches us how to get close to our god,how to strive and struggle for the pleasure of Al...

 what is family?family means such members which gives peace,support,comfort,to each other in every condition whether good or bad. We human beings are called as social beings because we need people with whom we can live, share enjoy every moment of our life. Family is a blessing but without supporting each other ,it will become a place of painful hell ,hard to survive. Only walls of home or its decoration or money or all materialistic things do not bring peace. Peace acquires when both the members follow the path of peace I. E Islam and supports each other in this divine path as did Hazrat hajirah may Allah be pleased with her. Prophet Abraham had a great mission and see how his wife gaves him full support. Even she agreed to stayed alone in the desert with her toddler son ismaeel and never complained him about anything. In such critical conditions how she built her son. How that small child prepared himself for sacrifice for god’s will. That was actually the spirit of his divin...

Most people worship fertility symbols for centuries,but never ponder over it where this worship came from in their religions .Lets, discuss today its origin. It is not only Hindus which worship fertility symbols but in ancient times almost all countries worship this fertility deity.Symbols of fertility in ancient mythology have a history as long as the creation of first myths.Primarily,the myths were about description of the worlds creation.They depicted how the trees,the man,the sun,and all the other things came into existence.This part of the mythology belonged to the time in which the man was bewildered and frightened in the expansive world and wanted to give meaning to the extensive environment around him.However,with the progress of science and rationality,less attention was allocated to this part of the mythology.Today,to validate new discoveries,a return to mythological roots is required.Throughout the study of mythology of ancient civilisations,we understand that most of m...
