Khilafat Movement and its impact on India.
There are few movements in world history that are not limited to political demands, but rather become symbols of identity, faith and ethnic unity. For Muslims in India, the Khilafat Movement was one such chapter—one that was both connected to the religious sentiments and traditions of the Muslim people and, on the other hand, a renaissance of political consciousness. It was a struggle through which Indian Muslims imagined themselves for the first time as part of a global ummah and, at the same time, established their own position in the struggle against colonialism.

Pulwama and Balakot
February 14, 2019. On Valentine's Day, one of the worst terrorist attacks in Indian history took place in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. At least 40 paramilitary personnel were killed in a suicide blast on a CRPF convoy. There was grief, anger and demands for revenge across India. In just twelve days, in the early hours of February 26, the Indian Air Force carried out an airstrike on a so-called "JeM" base in Balakot inside Pakistan. The BJP government, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claimed: "This revenge is India's new bravery."

Water on an empty stomach in the morning
The way each day begins is the same as the course of the entire day. And one of the simplest yet most powerful habits among those beginning habits is drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning. This small habit not only increases the body's immunity, but also has a profound effect on mental freshness, digestion, skin health, and even hormone balance. About 70% of our body is made up of water. And so, waking up the body with a glass of pure water at the beginning of the day gives it new energy and vitality.

Kashmir: War of two states
Kashmir: The War of Two States, the Poverty of a Nation Kashmir. When you hear the word, snow-capped mountains, blue rivers, and flower-filled valleys come to mind. But behind this natural beauty lies the sigh of a nation, a bloody chapter in history, and a battlefield of pride for two states. For India and Pakistan, Kashmir is a symbol of national pride. But those who have repeatedly been deprived in the game of these two states are the Kashmiris—the original inhabitants of this valley, whose very existence is questionable.

A golden chapter
There are some eras in history that serve as a model of learning for not just one nation, but for all of humanity. One such era in Islamic history is the “Khilafah Rashidah” or “Era of the Rightly Ruled Caliphate”—which was established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) under the leadership of his closest companions. During this era, four caliphs took office one after the other: Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). These four are called the ‘Al-Khalifa’ or ‘The Rightly Guided Caliphs’ because they embodied the ideals of the Prophet in practical politics, administration, social order, and justice.

That is the heart.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Indeed, there is a lump of flesh in the body, if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Listen! That is the heart.” (Sahih Bukhari and Muslim).

Sykes-Picot Agreement
There are moments in history that are invisible to the naked eye, but have an impact that lasts for centuries. If one agreement is to be blamed for the geographical and political decline of the Muslim world, it would undoubtedly be the “Sykes-Picot” agreement of 1916. This secret agreement was actually a stab in the back of Muslims—a fratricidal conspiracy through which the Western colonial powers shattered the heartland of the Muslim Ummah, that is, the Arab world.

Fall of the Ottoman Caliphate
The fall of the Ottoman Caliphate is a tragic chapter in the history of the Muslim world, the impact of which is still felt in every corner of the Muslim world. This nearly six-hundred-year-old regime was not just a political structure—it was a symbol of the unity, solidarity, and Islamic civilization of the Ummah. The formal abolition of the Caliphate in 1924 marked the end of a chapter, but began a long era of confusion and division that has not ended to this day.

Expanding
Surah Az-Zariyyah verse 47: “And the heavens, We have created with Our own hands, and We are expanding them.” The root word used in this verse in Arabic is (نهن لموسعون), which means “We are expanding” or “We are expanding.” In the light of modern science, this verse carries a profound significance today, especially in the context of the expanding universe.
