Tafseer-e-Usmani (Urdu)


A translation and commentary of The Glorious Qur'an, based on Tafseer-e-'Uthmani by 'Allamah Shabbir Ahmad 'Uthmani in three Volumes. Translation edited by the teachers of Madrasah Ayesha Siddiqua, Karachi. A well-known and regarded commentary in Urdu, Tafseer-e-'Uthmani was taken as the basis of this particular commentary, due to its brevity and simplicity. The original text has been amended and suplemented in order to introduce aspects which are of interest and importance to the modern believer, but were of little interest to its readers at the time it was first published, some 75 years ago.

Tohfa'ae Saadat by Molana Masood Azhar


Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'To God belongs 99 names, 100 minus 1, anyone who memorizes them will enter Paradise; He (God) is odd (odd number, he is the Only One), and He loves odd numbers (such as 99)'.

Hafeez sheikh is a very creative painter whose expertise lies in Islamic art. The beautiful array of his work can be seen on his website. His paintings are unique among his contemporaries. Most of his paintings manifest his love for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala (English: “Glorious and exalted is He." In short: SWT) and his messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him, In short: PBUH).
In Arabic, the word Allah (See Art: 99 Names of Allah & The Word Allah) means ‘The God’. It is derived from the union of the word ‘Al’ meaning ‘The’ and ‘Ilah’ Meaning ‘God’ (See Art: God in other languages). The word Allah is the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name. The name Allah is unique and unmatched and indicates the existence of one creator of the universe who is omnipotent and all-powerful. To test what Allah can be, he has given an acid test in his book as he speaks to his servant (Prophet Mohammad) in The Holy Quran.
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

[Surah At-Tauhid (The Unity) 112]
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only!
Allah, the eternal, Absolute!
He begets not, nor was he begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.

There are many other names of Allah mentioned in the Holy Quran, but these other names are attributes of the creator. Allah is the best and the most suited name for God. It’s a common misconception that Allah is only the God of Muslims or people from the desert. In reality you will find Arab Jews and Christians calling upon Allah in their prayer, and even a Chinese Muslim will call upon Allah in his prayer.

Miracles of Prophet Muhammad (saas) by Molana Ghulam Nabi Shah


A number of miracles were bestowed upon and performed by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to establish the proof of his prophethood. The greatest miracle bestowed upon him was the revelation of the Qur'an. The Qur'an is miraculous in a number of aspects: Its linguistic perfection and inevitability, its validation by recent historical, archaeological, and scientific discoveries, its prophecies and so on. Unlike the miracles of other prophets before him, the miracle of the Qur'an is eternal. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) also provided us with a number of true prophecies.

Below are accounts of the some of the other miracles of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) . Before reading these, it helps to know something about the Science of Traditions (Arabic: Ahadith), an exacting and comprehensive system developed by early Muslim scholars to verify the chain of transmission of these accounts, as well as investigating the trustworthiness and capability of every narrator at every level of the chain. This thorough authentication process ensures that these accounts are real, validated narrations of the sayings, actions, and tacit approvals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Quran e Majeed


The Holy Quran is the Last and Final Word of God Almighty and a message to all mankind. It is a collection of 114 chapters or surahs that were revealed to Prophet Muhammad by revelation through the Archangel Gabriel over a period of 23 years.
Holy Quran; Surah 04; Verse:
163: We have sent thee inspiration as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him; We sent inspiration to Abraham Ismail Isaac Jacob and the Tribes to Jesus Job Jonah Aaron and Solomon and to David We gave the Psalms.
Holy Quran; Surah 42; Verses:
51: It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration of from behind a veil or by the sending of a Messenger to reveal with Allah’s permission what Allah wills: for He is Most High Most Wise.
52: And thus have We by Our command sent inspiration to thee: thou knowest not (before) what was Revelation and what was Faith; but We have made the (Quran) a Light wherewith We guide such of Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost guide (men) to the Straight Way.
The Holy Quran further reveals:
Holy Quran; Surah 56; Verses:
77: That this is indeed a Quran most honorable,
78: In a Book well-guarded,
79: Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
80: A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
It is the duty of every Muslim and non-Muslim; man, woman, and child, to read The Holy Quran and try to understand it in their own capacity.
