Spirituality in a Material World

nospam@example.com (Waheed) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:15:45 +0000

Today we live in a materialistic society where materialism has become a religion and a philosophy in itself. The philosophy of it is that people believe in that which is tangible, which is physically present, which can be felt touched or smelt. As a result, spirituality holds no bases within society, whereas, for a Muslim his whole religion rests upon spirituality. It is not the physical organ which brings life to a man rather it is the spirit. and it is the diseases of the heart/spirit which are far destructive then the physical diseases. That’s exactly why Rasulullah peace be upon him has said, ‘Know, there is a peace of flesh within the body. If it is corrupt then the whole body is corrupt and if is pure then the whole body is pure. Know that this flesh is the heart/spirit.’ And for such a person who purifies his soul, Allah says, ‘He who purifies the soul is successful and he has suffered who lets his soul become wayward.’

An Islamic Perspective on the Credit Crunch

nospam@example.com (Waheed) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:12:55 +0000

Islam is a comprehensive religion comprising of an entire way of life. All aspects of life are governed by the religion of Allah. Otherwise there is fear of destruction and corruption. The term ‘credit crunch’, which we hear incessantly, refers to a sudden and dramatic shrinking of credit available throughout the world. This has had a profound effect on the economy and is causing great misery with the loss of jobs and collapse of businesses. From an Islamic perspective, the entire credit system was fatally flawed from the onset as it is based upon dishonesty, speculation, gambling and most critically greed and usury. The solution to this global economic decline can only be achieved by adhering to the concept and philosophy of wealth outlined in Islam. In the Islamic system, wealth is not a monopolised asset that only moves around a select few.
The current financial crisis as well as the Islamic perspective on the credit crunch all are eloquently explained in this speech. Reference is made to the mortgage and insurance system along with the philosophy of wealth in Islam.

Saviours of Islamic Spirit (10-CD Set) - www.darul-ishaat.co.uk

nospam@example.com (Waheed) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:01:00 +0000

A riveting series of lectures to captivate, inspire, and revive the hearts of the young and old alike.

Based on the acclaimed work of the late Shaykh Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadwi, these lectures draw on the lives of ten of the most influential personalities of Islam after the time of the beloved Companions from Hasan al-Basri, 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, and Salah al-Din to 'Izz al-Din ibn 'Abd al-Salam. These lectures also cover the time-period of the Tartars and their ultimate conversion into the fold of Islam, which ensued from the untiring struggle of the Muslims living in their midst.

The pre-eminence of these ten individuals is utterly extraordinary and puts forward for each and every one of us, a remarkable guide in the journey of Islam. The lives of these exemplary individuals and the conviction with which they endured their struggles, will impart a compelling and invigorating way of life—a way of life tread by the Prophet e himself.

"If the lives of these great individuals had been available to me when I was younger, I would have had a completely different perspective of my religion and of the world around me" —The speaker’s reflection on the Saviours of Islamic Spirit.

nospam@example.com (Waheed) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:42:59 +0000

A Basic Hanafi Primer on Faith, Prayer, & the Path of Salvation

Allah has commanded us to worship and obey Him, with sincerity, out of reverence, love, and thankfulness. He says in the Qur’an, “And they are ordered only to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him, to remain upright, and to establish worship and to pay the poor-due. That is true religion” (Qur’an, 98.5).

This worship is not possible without knowledge. This short work outlines the absolute essentials of this knowledge: in faith, prayer, and key points related to one’s life and dealings.

It is based on the methodology of traditional Sunni Islam, according to the Hanafi school, the largest school of Islamic law, and its purpose is to make one’s worship valid, sound, and proper in a short amount of time.

nospam@example.com (Waheed) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:25:20 +0000

The Sage & Scholar of the Ummah - Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Masud (R.A)

Abdullah ibn Masud (R.A) is regarded as one of the most learned companions and possessed immense knowledge of the Holy Qur’an. His zeal and enthusiasm for the religion of Allah was staggering. His attachment and love for the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) was such that he observed and learnt from the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) those things which others did not. For this reason, Allah blessed him with piercing insight and understanding of His religion. The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) dearly loved him and expressed his love for him in the following words,’ ‘I am content and satisfied for my ummah with whatever Abdullah ibn Masud is content and satisfied with, and I disapprove for my ummah whatever Abdullah ibn Masud disapproves for my ummah.

His noble character, thirst for knowledge, position with Allah as well as inspiring lessons from his noble life are beautifully explained within this speech.

Mariful Quran - Complete Set 8 Volumes

nospam@example.com (Waheed) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:19:30 +0000

Mufti Muhammad Shafi wrote Maariful Quran in Urdu, which has already become a great reference for the layman and the scholar alike. Now its English translation, supervised by his son Mufti Taqi Usmani, brings this great treasure to the English-speaking world. This set contains the complete commentary of the Qur'an.

FOREWORD to Volume 1

by Justice Maulana Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Ma'ariful-Qur'an is the name of a detailed Urdu commentary of the Holy Qur'an written by my father Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi'. He was one of the eminent scholars who served as a professor and as a grand Mufti of Darul-Uloom Deoband, the well-known university of the Islamic Sciences in the sub-continent of India. In 1943, he resigned from Darul-Uloom, due to his active involvement in the Pakistan movement, and when Pakistan came into existence, he migrated to Karachi where he devoted his life for this new homeland of the Muslims and served the country in different capacities. He also established Darul-Uloom Karachi, an outstanding institute of Islamic Sciences on the pattern of Darul-Uloom Deoband, which is regarded today as the biggest private institute of higher Islamic education in Pakistan.

He was a prolific writer who left behind him about one hundred books on different Islamic and literary subjects. Ma'ariful-Qur'an was the last great work he accomplished four years before his demise.

The origin of Ma'ariful-Qur'an refers back to the third of Shawwal 1373 A.H. (corresponding to the 2nd of July 1954) when the author was invited to give weekly lectures on the Radio Pakistan to explain selected verses of the Holy Qur'an to the general audience. This invitation was accepted by the author on the condition that he would not accept any remuneration for this service and that; his lectures would be broadcast without any interference by the editing authorities. The permanent title of this weekly program was "Ma'ariful-Qur'an" (The Wisdom of the Holy Qur'an) and it was broadcast every Friday morning on the network of Radio Pakistan.

This series of lectures continued for ten years up to the month of June 1964 whereby the new authorities stopped the programme for reasons best known to them. This series of lectures contained a detailed commentary on selected verses from the beginning of the Holy Qur'an up to the Surah Ibrahim (Surah no. 14).

This weekly programme of Radio Pakistan was warmly welcomed by the Muslims throughout the globe and used to be listened to by thousands of Muslims, not only in Pakistan and India but also in Western and African countries.

After the programme was discontinued, there was a flood of requests from all over the world to transfer this series in a book-form and to complete the remaining part of the Holy Qur'an in the shape of a regular commentary.

These requests persuaded the esteemed author to revise these lectures and to add those verses, which were not included in the original lectures. He started this project in 1383 A.H. (1964) and completed the commentary of Surah al-Fatihah in its revised form and started the revision of Surah al-Baqarah. However, due to his numerous involvements he had to discontinue this task, and it remained unattended during the next five years.

In Shawwal 1388 (1969) the esteemed author suffered from a number of diseases, which made him restricted to his bed. It was during this ailment that he restarted this work while on bed and completed Surah al-Baqarah in the same condition. Since then he devoted himself to the "Ma'ariful-Qur'an". Despite a large number of obstacles in his way, not only from the political atmosphere of the country and the difficult responsibilities he had on his shoulders in different capacities, but also from his health and physical condition, he never surrendered to any of them and continued his work with a miraculous speed until he accomplished the work in eight volumes (comprising of about seven thousand pages) within five years only.

After appearing in a regular book-form, Ma'ariful-Qur'an was highly appreciated and widely admired by the Urdu-knowing Muslims throughout the world. Thousands of copies of the book are still circulated every year, and the demand for the book is so increasing that it has always been a problem for its publisher to satisfy the demand to its optimum.

Reviewers' Comments

“Khalid Baig has been contributing the column ‘First Things First’ in Impact International for several years now. This column has covered a wide spectrum of Islamic topics of contemporary relevance, ranging from Islamic beliefs and practices to issues of Islam and politics, culture, media, tradition and modernity, and international affairs. Like many of his admirers, I always look forward to reading his column, which is arguably the most eagerly awaited and most widely read part of Impact.

“The present volume is a collection of his columns written against the backdrop of major issues that confront Muslims today in their individual lives and Islamic societies in their quest for identity and authenticity. Throughout, he is unequivocally committed to the integrity of pristine Islamic teachings. His guides in his intellectual journey to find answers for the problems facing Muslims today are the Qur’an, the Sunnah of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and the consensus of the community of Islamic scholars. His real genius lies in distilling Islamic scriptural and scholarly sources into concise, trenchant ruminations on Islam and the contemporary situation of Muslims. With clarity, elegance, and often with quick and ready wit, Khalid Baig brilliantly articulates Islamic perspectives, clears up the confusions created by extraneous influences, and challenges his readers to wake up to their responsibilities as Muslims.

“Khalid Baig has a rare and rich gift for both precision and thoroughness: in two to three pages, he manages to say more than most writers would in several dozen pages. His nonpolemical style, calm and measured tone, careful and balanced opinions, and insightful comments are sure to make this book an engaging and immensely rewarding reading experience. It deserves to be widely circulated and read by both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.” - Mumtaz Ahmad, Ph.D Professor of Political Science - Hampton University - Hampton, VA

“Although the FTF’s primary readership is naturally Muslim, its message is universal and inclusive. FTF encourages readers to think straight and to think for themselves.

"FTF is the most popular and must-read feature article of Impact. The reward is Khalid Baig’s though the gift is there to be shared by everyone.” - Muhammad Hashir Faruqi Editor, Impact International - London, England

An engineer by profession, Khalid Baig has been writing on Islam and current affairs since 1986. He is editor of Albalagh E-Journal as well as a regular contributor to Impact International.
