An invitation to think

Have you ever wondered why Islam is constantly a subject of discussion for everybody, Muslim and non-Muslim alike? One can hardly miss it in International politics, religious circles, ideological circles and personal decisions. This is because Islam is based on the belief in one God who is the creator of everything and who {as a Creator with perfect knowledge} has sent a perfect guidance to mankind regarding every aspect of life. Islam asserts that every human being should naturally come to the conclusion that there is a Creator. Consider the universe. Its perfect order calls for attention of every human being. Look at the world around you. Why is pure water tasteless, and why does it have such life-giving qualities to plants and animals, that no other liquid has?

[Fussilat:33] For the believers who possess the Islamic Aqeeda, the current world we are living in should agitate them to carry the guidance that they posses so that it becomes established and removes the evils that are drowning the world. This will lead to a blazing passion and urgency for the Da’wah. Our lowly situation will not be reversed without our actions, it is the actions of the Da’wah that lead to change and open the path to revival. When our mothers and sisters cry out in Iraq or Palestine from the pain inflicted upon them by the Kuffar, when a fighte
