The Noble Qur'an

This website has the Noble Qur'an text in many languages with features that allow users to browse verses, search and listen to recitations of the glorious Qur'an in an easy-to-use interface.

Currently available hadith collections can be seen on the site's homepage. The site supports full search of both the English text of the hadith as well as the Arabic through a powerful search engine based on Lucene ...

The Amazing Quran

Calling the Quran amazing is not something done only by Muslims, who have an appreciation for the book and who are very pleased with it. It has been labeled amazing by non-Muslims as well. In fact, even people who hate Islam very much have still called it amazing ...

Inimitability and Authenticity of The Quran

When Joseph challenged me concerning the Kufic script I was unable to answer because the issue was unfamiliar to me, so that following week I researched the issue and found that his claims were wrong. When he came next the Sunday I was prepared, and answered his questions, but Joseph just would not give up, he kept repeating himself as if repeating his arguments enough times would somehow make his erroneous statements into a valid argument. This became so bad that even one of the non-Muslims in the audience said about Joseph: "This man is just arguing against himself" ...

The Miracle and Challenge of The Quran

The Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) provide a very detailed description of the microscopic development of the human embryo from a mere sperm drop up to the stage of a completely formed human being. It is well known that microscopes were not developed until the sixteenth century AD, and even at that were very crude in design ...

Abrogation in Quran? Think About it!

Perhaps the clearest example of God inspiring Jesus(P) to practice abrogation can be seen in the commissioning of his disciples. It is written in the New Testament that initially Jesus(P) forbade his disciples from preaching to non-Jews. He restricted their activities and commanded them to avoid Gentiles. However, due to the change in circumstances and the completion of his earthly mission, Jesus(P) abrogated this earlier law and made it not only permissible but obligatory for his disciples to reach out to a broader base ...

However before downloading the zipped powerpoint files, please note that this tafseer of the Holy Quran is in Arabic language except for the headings which are in English. Feel free to point out any mistakes observed in this tafseer ...

Technological Development and The Quran

It is almost compulsory to acquire technical know how in order to harmonize with the Quranic requirements. Although technology (Knowledge or use of mechanical arts and applied sciences) is an important element in nurturing and propagating the Quranic message, it is not the only requirement. There are many Nations that are highly developed as far as technology is concerned, but when it comes to moral values, they are hopeless! ...

Logic Behind The Prohibition of Alcoholic Intoxication

The cries of these children reveal what it is like to be in a family with alcohol problems: " Dad gets drunk every day, he hits me and mum ... he broke my arm once. If I have bruises he ... stops me going to school. He says if we ever tell anyone he will kill us ... I'm scared ... it's getting worse " ...

The Merits of Honey

And your Lord revealed to the bee, Make hives in the mountains and in the trees and in what they build. Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of your Lord submissively. There comes forth from their bellies a beverage of many colours, in which there is healing for mankind. Verily in this is a sign for those who give thought ...

An Interesting Finding About Iron

The word "sent down," particularly used for iron in the Quran, could be thought of having a metaphorical meaning to explain that iron has been given to benefit people. But when we take into consideration the literal meaning of the word, which is, "being physically sent down from the sky", we realize that this verse implies a very significant scientific finding ...
