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.

The Hidden God of War: Unmasking Yahweh, the Forgotten Lord of the Skies
Yahweh, The God Of War In the dry winds of the ancient Levant, beneath the crumbled ruins of forgotten cities and among the fractured stone tablets buried beneath the sands, lingers the shadow of a god that few truly know. Today, billions invoke his name in prayer, see him as the father of creation, the sole and omnipotent divine being who shaped the universe.
