A vaccine against Meningitis

A vaccine against one of the most common forms of childhood meningitis could reduce the number of deaths in the UK even further. The current vaccination programme protects against only some of the bacterial types involved. A Chilean study, reported in The Lancet medical journal, found more evidence the new vaccine works against the B form of the disease. This causes about 2,000 cases in the UK each year, mostly in the under-fives.

Good Ends

Fear of an evil end had broken the hearts of our righteous Salaf (predecessors) may Allah have mercy upon them. Sufyaan Ath-Thawri may Allah have mercy upon him cried one night until the morning, and when he was asked whether he cried due to his fear of his sins, he replied: “No, I am more scared of having an evil end”.

Freedom of thinking in Islamic civilization

Islam has enshrined the freedom of thinking and blamed those who block their sensual and mental powers from functioning and made them in the lowest rank of animals. Islam has also blamed those who follow illusions and conjectures. Islam has also depended in proving the credibility of the Islamic creed on mental evidence and that is why Muslim scholars said: Akl is basis of Naql” (Tradition should be based on reason).

Prophet Dawud

Allah said: {Verily, We made the mountains to glorify Our Praises with him (Dawud) in the Ashi (after the mid-day till sunset) and Ishraq (after the sunrise till mid-day). And (so did) the birds assembled: all with him (Dawud) did turn (to Allah, glorified His Praises). We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and sound judgment in speech and decision.} [Ch 38:18-20 Quran].

False Allegations

Twofemale witnesses equivalent to one male

It is not true that two female witnesses are always considered as equal to only one male witness. It is true only in certain cases. There are about five verses in the Quran that mention witnesses, without specifying male or female. There is only one verse in the Quran, that says two female witnesses are equal to one male witness.
