    It is unfortunate that the Islamic concepts, definitions and terminologies which were well known by Muslims and codified by Islamic scholarship for centuries have in more recent times become vague, distorted or in some cases totally absent. One such issue is the subject of Dar al-Kufr (land of disbelief) and Dar al-Islam (land of Islam). Understanding the distinction between the two is vital when it comes to evaluating present regimes in the Muslim world and in the aftermath of the Arab spring is essential in order to determine what changes to a constitution and state are necessary to make it…

    During the time of the Prophet Muhammad, the words of the Quran were revealed, committed to memory, and recorded in writing by scribes. The written texts were verified and cross-checked with those who had memorized the revelation. Within 20 years of the Prophet Muhammad's death, the written texts had been compiled into a single, authentic text with only verified copies in existence. All Qurans which are found in the world today are identical to these original documents, unchanged over more than 1400 years. Read more: How was the Quran compiled? Why is the Quran in Arabic?

In fact, one of the most striking aspects of Obama’s revelation on Wednesday (May 9) that he and his wife, Michelle, support marriage rights for gays and lesbians, is that he invoked their Christian faith to support his views.

    Religion has always been there; even long before we could ever expect. This is not a religious fanatic making such claims, but this is what comes to surface by historians and explorers. They are just amazed to see no matter how old a civilization they might come across while digging and excavating; it has got its religious symbols and manifests of one type or the other.

If freedom of speech means that a person can speak what he wishes without hurting anyone, without causing harm to any community, then Islamic Sharia is not against freedom of speech. But if freedom of speech means that a person can abuse, criticize or blame anyone without any hesitation, then Islamic Sharia is against and as well as not against freedom of speech. Let me clarify my statement. There are different types of freedom of speech.
