I read the following news in DAWN (newspaper):LAHORE, July 16: The government is considering a proposal to link domestic wheat prices to regional prices from the next Rabi season to curb smuggling.What? What sort of linking? Every country produces different amounts of wheat hence they are priced differently. The purchasing power parity also differs. Then i read further: “The cabinet has

I came across an interesting question on a community on orkut a few days ago.A brother narrated the story of a boy and a girl, where the boy and girl had never met but only talked online or on sms. The girl got married somewhere else but when she learned through someone that the boy is contemplating suicide she contacted him and said that she loves him and believes they will be together in heaven

We have now added a little option at the bottom right of each post (a little envelope with an arrow on it) which enables the reader to send the post on directly by email to one of their contacts. We hope this will be a useful tool in promoting the blog.

From coffee to cheques and the three-course meal, the Muslim world has given us many innovations that we take for granted in daily life.

This evening I was blessed, alhamdullilah, to visit the Ka'aba again. As always, the visit was mesmerising, peaceful, blissful. The Haram at night is a wondrous sight, lit with a thousand lights and full of splendour. Although we were there, quite late on a weekday night, the masjid was full of worshippers of all colours and nationalities, united in their love and devotion to the One Lord (swt).

Any comments on this article from today's Guardian Online?Women in a northern Malaysian city ruled by conservative Islamists are being urged to forsake bright lipstick and noisy high heels in an effort to preserve their dignity and avoid rape.Authorities in Kota Bharu have distributed pamphlets recommending that Muslim women do not wear heavy makeup and loud shoes when they go out to work in

The Detroit News Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign apologized Wednesday after volunteers asked two Muslim women not to stand or sit behind the candidate at a rally in Detroit this week out of concerns about the appearance of traditional Muslim dress in published and broadcast visuals of the events.

I came across and watched this video today called 'Islam & America: Through the Eyes of Imran Khan' where Imran Khan attempts to explain the hatred of the common man in Pakistan, and throughout the Muslim world, for US foreign policies. It makes many interesting points. Let us know whether you agree or disagree with what he has to say.I understand that he starts out by talking to liberal women in
