Moment of Clarity
By Daliah Merzaban
When endeavouring to explain to someone how I uncovered my spirituality, I usually say it happened quite suddenly, in a moment of clarity.
Throughout my
childhood and young adult years, God remained in the background of my
consciousness. I believed in Him, and performed some rituals of worship
to express this belief. Yet He rarely crossed...
Let Us All Praise “The Appreciative One”
Another year has passed, and another Feast of Thanksgiving has come
upon us. As families across our great nation gather together, eat
turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, gravy, and the like, it is a
natural time for us as Americans to reflect over those things for which
we should be thankful. As an American Muslim, I took my reflection a
little deeper...
Implications of God’s Attributes
Dr. Jamal Badawi
Each of the basic divine attributes has a practical relevance and
implication in the day to day life of various individuals. Here, we will
discuss a variety of them.
Oneness of God
When discussing the oneness of God this in itself provides a base for
humanity to unite. That is talking about one common Lord of the
universe....
The Names and Attributes of Allah
Allah has described Himself in the Quran
through His Names and Attributes. Muslims believe that studying these
Names and Attributes is one of the most effective ways of strengthening
one’s relationship with God. Each Name and Attribute nourishes a kind of
consciousness and humility in man and their study leads one to
constantly better their actions.
“The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on Him by them.” (Quran, 7:180
Muslims are asked to call upon God during their supplications by the
most appropriate names that relate...

concept of God in islam
Monotheism, belief in one God, is the most important and foundational concept in Islam. Muslims
believe in one God who created the universe and has power over
everything within it. He is unique and exalted above everything He
creates, and His greatness cannot be compared to His creation.
Furthermore, He is the only one deserving of any worship and the
ultimate purpose of all creation is to submit to Him. The Islamic
understanding of God is distinct from all other religions and beliefs in
various respects since it is based on a pure and...
How Do We Know God Exists
Dr. Jamal Badawi
Even on a very fundamental level we find that throughout history
there is a very strange phenomenon that people of different backgrounds,
living in so many different parts of the world at different points in
time, have always had this strong urge within themselves to look and to
yearn for the Creator. They see that there is some power, a magnificent
and merciful power that is sometimes interpreted in a mistaken way by
materializing that in some form or other (i.e. idols). The basic
yearning has always been there. Even...

I’ll Remember, Insha’Allah
Daliah Merzaban
The other day I scheduled a long-overdue appointment for a dental
cleaning. I had called a few days in advance and arranged for an
early-morning slot so that I could arrive in the office before the
workload got too heavy. Leaving my apartment about 35 minutes before the
appointment, I imagined I left enough time to arrive on schedule.
That is, until I got into a small car accident less than 10 minutes later.
As I waited to turn right at an intersection not far from my
apartment, the car behind me abruptly drove into the...
The Big Question
Dr. Laurence Brown
At some point in our lives, everybody asks the big questions: “Who made us,” and “Why are we here?”
So who did make us? Most of us have been brought up more on
science than religion, and to believe in the Big Bang and evolution more
than God. But which makes more sense? And is there any reason why the
theories of science and creationism cannot coexist?
The Big Bang may explain the origin of the universe, but it doesn’t
explain the origin of the primordial dust cloud. This dust cloud (which,
according to the theory,...
Let Us All Praise “The Appreciative One”
