“Jihad” by Sir Thomas W. Arnold

Sir Thomas W. Arnold defends, with extra­or­di­nary tal­ent, the the­sis that the basic mean­ing of ​“jih?d”, is : ​“the using or exert­ing one’s utmost pow­er, effort, endeav­or or abil­i­ty, in con­tend­ing with an object of dis­ap­pro­ba­tion”, and that pri­mar­i­ly the word bears no ref­er­ence to war or fight­ing, much less to fight­ing against unbe­liev­ers or forcible con­ver­sion of them, but derives its par­tic­u­lar appli­ca­tion from the con­text only.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Exposed As An Ene­my of Islam

A brief his­to­ry of the life and poli­cies of one of the most vehe­ment ene­mies of Islam, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the founder of the sec­u­lar Turk­ish state. It is an unfor­tu­nate thing that a lot of his poli­cies are still being prac­tised in Turkey till this day. Women are still not allowed to wear the hijab in Gov­ern­ment build­ings and schools a[s it is seen to be a sign of fun­da­men­tal­ism. I have per­son­al­ly come across a group of Turks who shout­ed Bis­mil­lah ar-Rah­man ar-Rahim loud­ly before they all drink alco­hol which is very much the result of Kemal­ism. May God bless those who fol­low His path.
