The courage of the silent companion
On a cool evening north of Medina, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sitting with a small caravan. Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali and a few other companions were with him. Suddenly, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Today I will tell you about a man who gave up everything in life to come to the path of Allah, and who secretly embraced Islam and openly conveyed the message of truth—he is Abu Jarr al-Ghifari.”

This drink is 'healthy'
We will dedicate this discussion to a unique verse of the Quran that establishes a profound dialogue between humanity and the natural world. This verse is found in Surah An-Nahl (16:68-69), where it is said: “And your Lord commanded the bee: ‘Make nests in the mountains and trees and in the lofty places that man has made. Then eat of all fruits and follow the paths of your Lord. From their bellies comes a drink, in which is healing for mankind. Indeed, in this are signs for a people who reflect.”

Ebony Quill & Parchment
In an age of glowing screens, blinking cursors, and cloud-based documents, the simplicity of a pen touching paper feels almost revolutionary. Stripped of digital distractions, alerts, and auto-correct, the humble pairing of a writing instrument and a blank sheet stands quietly as one of the most profound tools for thought and transformation.

The mask of civilization
The pride of England, the heritage of the United Kingdom, the light of the British Empire—these words bring to mind a long chapter in world history, where it is said how the British brought civilization to dark countries. But no one has kept track of how much barbarity, how much bloodshed, how much ethnic cleansing was carried out in the name of bringing this ‘civilization’. Even today, Britain gives opinions on various countries in the name of human rights, democracy, and civilization, intervenes, and sometimes condemns them—but its own history has always been one of cruelty, deceit, exploitation, and a constant attempt to destroy immature nations.

“Isn’t Islam’s command to wage war against non-Muslims terrorism?”
This is a widely discussed accusation by atheists and non-Muslims, where it is said that Islam is a violent religion; its Quran and Hadith command war against non-Muslims, it is said to kill infidels, and Muslims take up arms in the name of jihad. This accusation arises from ignorance on the one hand, and on the other hand it is also spread through Islamophobic propaganda. But the reality is that Islam has never allowed followers of any religion or belief to attack or kill just for their beliefs. Rather, Islam has defined war and peace as a complete way of life based on a balance of self-defense, humanity and justice.

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.

The Quiet Launch
At thirty-seven, I never thought of myself as an author. I taught high school English by day and scribbled in journals by night—poems, fragments, essays, pieces of things that never really felt finished. Over the years, I’d filled shelves with notebooks and hard drives with half-baked files, most of which I never looked at again.
