كتاب التبصرة لابن الجوزي page 494 volume 1

in this book (كتاب التبصرة لابن الجوزي page 494) volume 1 Imam Ibn Al Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates the Hadith of the Middle Nation and it seems he is among those scholars who believe that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is a witness over our deeds, which are presented to him, and he supports this view, even though some new creed scholars deny it because of their misguidance and not because of ignorance.   Abu Salih, from Abu Sa'id who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: On the Day of Resurrection, a prophet will come with a man, and another prophet with two men, and more than that. Then their people will be called and asked: Did you receive this message? They will say: No. It will be said to them: Did your people receive it? They will say: Yes. It will be asked: Who bears witness for you? They will say: Muhammad and his followers. Muhammad and his followers will be called. It will be said to them: Did this messag...

Hashashin (The Assassins from the Ismaili Sect or The guys on whom the Assassins Creed game is based on)

The word "assassin" is actually derived from the Hashashin, and because of them, this word came into existence. They were Isma'il Nizari Shia, the followers of Hasan Sabbah. That group was founded in Alamut before the start of the 11th century. Even during the time of Saladin Ayubi (rh), they tried to hold him back at times. I have read a saying of Marco Polo about these Hashashin: "The Old Man of the Mountain ruled his followers with a cunning unmatched in all the lands, by drugging them and promising them paradise. Then the Old Man of the Mountain would bring his young men into a paradise of beautiful gardens, flowing wine, and enchanting maidens, convincing them it was heaven. They were promised a return to this paradise if they carried out his orders, and killing themselves for him was his way of telling them that they would go to this paradise forever." "They were taught to obey unquestioningly and to believe that death was but a small price to pay for...

Difference between Akbar and Sultan Aurangzeb

Vincent Smith in Akbar the Great Mogul: “Din-i-Ilahi never succeeded in winning mass acceptance, nor was it a religion in the traditional sense, it was never a religiion thats a misconception. It was more an expression of Akbar’s eclectic personality.” Badayuni, wrote in Muntakhab-ut-Tawarikh: “Akbar encouraged the Hindus to practice their customs openly which was fine, and he showed disregard for the Sharia, which caused great unrest among orthodox Muslims.” Stanley Lane-Poole in Medieval India: “Akbar’s Rajput marriages, while presented as acts of tolerance, were pragmatic moves to secure loyalty from powerful Hindu clans. These alliances were strategic, not necessarily driven by liberalism.” Vincent Smith: “Although Akbar’s policies were revolutionary for his time, they planted seeds of division within the empire. Orthodox Muslims viewed his secular approach as a betrayal of Islamic governance.” In Ain-i-Akbari: “His Majesty abolished the tax (jizya) on non-Muslims, as he believed t...

The Miraculous Verses of the Holy Quran, for which even contemporary (Modern) science cannot offer an explanation for.

Quran (Surah At-Talaq) 65:12: "It is Allah who created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. His command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent, and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge." The Words here are mentioned 'the likes of the earth and the heavens meaning different realms or dimensions within the Earth'. We know that the previous tafsirs of this Ayah were limited to the knowledge of people as they didn't had access to current level of science and through modern science we can look for some possible meanings of this verse like is this about the multi-verse? For example: String Theory: String theory is the idea that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are not point-like particles, but tiny, vibrating strings of energy. These strings can vibrate at different frequencies, and their vibrations determine the properties of particles, like mass and charge. Essentially, the universe is like...
