Sorah Al-'alaq ( The Clot ) - Verses Number 19
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ ( 1 ) 
Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ( 2 )
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ ( 3 )
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-
الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ ( 4 )
He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ( 5 )
Taught man that which he knew not.
كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ ( 6 )
Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,
أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 7 )
In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ ( 8 )
Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ ( 9 )
Seest thou one who forbids-
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ ( 10 )
A votary when he (turns) to pray?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ ( 11 )
Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ ( 12 )
Or enjoins Righteousness?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 13 )
Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ( 14 )
Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ ( 15 )
Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ( 16 )
A lying, sinful forelock!
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ ( 17 )
Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ ( 18 )
We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِب ۩ ( 19 )
Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)!

- Response on Misconceptions about the Ruling of Celebrating the Birthday of the ProphetThis is a medium response to one Yemenite Sufi whose name is Al-Habeeb Ibn 'Ali Al-Jafri. In his most recent tape entitled ''The Objectives of a Female Believer and Her Example in Life'', he mentioned that the celebration of the Prophet's, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, birthday is permissible. He provided evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah (of the Prophet, sallalaahu 'alayhi wa salam) -as he claims- and he confused the ordinary listener with this evidence.

- Islam Its Foundations and ConceptsThe author said in the introduction, “I write this book to invite people to the religion of Allaah … I briefly explained herein the story of the creation of the Universe, the creation of man and how he was favoured by sending Messengers to him and situation of past religions. I afterwards made an introduction to Islaam as per its meaning and pillars. So, whoever is looking for guidance will find its evidences therein, whoever is looking for salvation may find that I have explained the way to it in this book, whoever desires to follow the track of the Prophets, Messengers and righteous people will find their path herein while those who turn away from their way only befools themselves and take to the straying path. It is a matter of fact that adherents of each religion call others to it and believe that truth only abide in their religion … Thousands of those who embraced Islaam have testified that they did not know real life until after they embraced Islaam and that they did never tasted happiness except under the shade of Islaam. Since it is a fact that every human being looks for happiness, peace of mind and truth, I prepare this work to help them achieve that. I pray that Allaah makes this work purely for His sake and let it be well-accepted and make it one of those righteous deeds that will benefit its doer in this world and the next.”
