Amongst the countless blessings which Almighty Allah has bestowed upon the Muslims is that He has preserved their religion for them and provided the appropriate means for Islam to be safeguarded and preserved, in that He has raised erudite scholars through whom the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet, Muhammad ibn Abdullah صلّی الله علیهِ وآلهِ وسلم, the seal of the prophets صلّی الله علیهِ وآلهِ وسلم, has been preserved. Thus the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet صلّی الله علیهِ وآلهِ وسلم provide evidence against mankind. One of the scholars through whom Allah preserved the Sunnah was Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Rahimahullah), and one of the books that he wrote to preserve the Sunnah is al-Musnad, which is one of the major collections of the noble Sunnah.Muslim scholars, particularly hadeeth scholars, were keen on ahaadeeth with few narrators between the hadeeth reporter and the Prophet صلّی الله علیهِ وآلهِ وسلم. In fact, Imaam Ahmad reported more than three hundred `thulaathiyyaat`, ahaadeeth with only three narrators between him and the Prophet صلّی الله علیهِ وآلهِ وسلم. These ahaadeeth were collected from al-Musnad by Shaikh Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Saalim as-Saffaareenee al-Hanbalee (Rahimahullah) in a separate book.This example clearly points to the great care shown by hadeeth scholar to the Prophet`s Sunnah, as they were keen to compile the Sunnah with the soundest chains of narrators (isnaad) and convey it in the easiest manner possible, from leading scholars of hadeeth who were of extremely good character and who approached the reports with accuracy and deep knowledge, in compliance with to the Prophet`s instructions: `Convey [whatever you learn] from me. even if it is just one verse.` (Narrated by al-Bukhaaree)

چونکہ بہت سے مسلمان عربی زبان نہیں جانتے اور نہ ہی اُنہیں زندگی میں باقاعدہ عربی سیکھنے کا موقعہ ملتا ہے، اسی لیے وہ مختلف تراجم کی طرف رخ کرتے ہیں۔ لیکن ترجموں میں بھی بہت سی مشکلات کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ اسی لیے یہ ڈکشنری ترتیب دی گئی ہے کہ قاری کسی بھی مشکل لفظ کا با آسانی معنی جان سکے اور اپنے علم کی پیاس بجھی۔ Since the majority of the followers of Islam are not native speakers of Arabic, and many of them may not have the chance to learn it properly, translation has been resorted to, and however incomplete it may be. But even good translator always finds it difficult to translate the special terms from Arabic. A cursory look at the translation of various Islamic works would reveal the discrepancies between the Arabic text and its translation, on one hand, and the different renderings of the same Arabic terms by different translators or even by the same translator at different times. This dictionary is the solution to these problems.a

Ever since the dawn of human life on this planet, Man has always sought to understand Nature, his own place in the scheme of Creation and the purpose of Life itself. In this quest for Truth, spanning many centuries and diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and determined to a large extent, the course of history. While some religions have been based on books, claimed by their adherents to be divinely inspired, others have relied solely on human experience. Al-Qur`an the main source of the Islamic faith, is a book believed by Muslims, to be of completely Divine origin. Muslims also believe that it contains Divine guidance for all humankind. Since the message of the Qur`an is believed to be at all times, it should be relevant to every age. Does the Qur`an pass this test? In this booklet, I intend to give an objective analysis of the Muslim belief regarding the Divine origin of the Qur`an, in the light of established scientific discoveries. There was a time, in the history of world civilization, when `miracles`, or what was perceived to be a miracle, took precedence over human reason and logic. But how do we define the term `miracle`? A miracle is anything that takes place out of the normal course of life and for which humankind has no explanation. However, we must be careful before we accept something as a miracle. An article in `The Times of India`, Mumbai, in 1993 reported that `a saint` by the name `Baba Pilot` claimed to have stayed continuously submerged under water in a tank for three consecutive days and nights. However, when reporters wanted to examine the base of the tank of water where he claimed to have performed this `miraculous` feat, he refused to let them do so. He argued by asking as to how one could examine the womb of a mother that gives birth to a child. The `Baba` was hiding something. It as a gimmick simply to gain publicity. Surely, no modern man with even the slightest inkling towards rational thinking would accept such a `miracle`. If such false miracles are the tests of divinity, then we would have to accept Mr. P.C. Sorcar, the world-famous magician known for his ingenious magical tricks and illusions, as the best god-man. A book, claiming Divine origin, is in effect, claiming to be a miracle. Such a claim should be easily verifiable in any age, according to the standards of that age. Muslims believe, that the Qur`an is the last and final revelation of God, the miracle of miracles revealed as a mercy to humankind. Let us therefore investigate the veracity of this belief. -

Science has never been separate from Islam. Objective study of this subject will reveal that Islamic texts - Qur`an and the Sunnah, provided a tremendous boost for study of the physical world and the laws that govern it. As a result, discoveries and inventions became the hallmarks of the Islamic civilization. Recently there has been a surge in the number of publications dealing with science and its relationship with Islam. These books have focused on the various verses on the Qur`an that point to the physical world to prove that science is compatible with Islam. However, areas that are not covered enough for the English reader are the historical development of science and technology in the Muslim world, and the factors that led to its rise and decline. The decline has been so severe, that today`s Muslims are not even aware that their ancestors were the founding fathers of modern sciences. Just consider the common Arabic words used in the English language today like cotton, algebra, aorta, alcohol, chemistry, earth and alkaline. They are a living testimony to the pioneering work of the Muslims. I am proud to introduce this inspiring book to our readers. It focuses on the strides made by the Muslims in various disciplines of science and technology from the early period of the Islamic State to its last days in the 20th century CE. The unique aspect of this book is that it sheds light on the key factors that led to the rapid advances in science and technology. Furthermore, it also analyses the reasons why Muslim World declined in this field, and last but not least, how the Muslim World can achieve the same kind of success as we already have in the past. -
The Bible is the basis for the teachings of Christianity, and the QurªGn is the main source of Islamic Religion and Law, this book compares Islam and Christianity according to a comparative study of the Bible and the Quran. Preface A religion should not be judged by the opinions and attitudes of its biased enemies. Neither should it be judged by the behavior of some of its nominal followers because there are bad people among every religious group and making a judgment based on those people is misleading as they may be violating their religion. A religion should rather be judged by its teachings as well as the effects of these teachings on its real followers. Since the Bible is the basis for the teachings of Christianity, and the Qur`an is the main source of Islamic Religion and Law, this book compares Islam and Christianity according to a comparative study of the Bible and the Qur`an. This approach ensures that the comparison is based on facts and not on prejudice or misunderstanding. It should be emphasized that when this book talks about Islam, it does not give exaggerated or insincere information to persuade the reader, but rather presents the real teachings of Islam. Everything mentioned in this book, about Islam, is supported by Verses from the Qur`an which was revealed about fourteen hundred years ago. Likewise, everything mentioned about Christianity is supported by verses from the Bible. -

One of the wise people once said: `I am amazed at the one who feels grief over the loss of his wealth but yet he does not feel grief over the loss of his lifes pan (which occurs daily).` So strive hard in worship (of Allah), weep over your sins and flee from the punishment (in the Hereafter). The victorious one is he who directs his hopes toward that which is everlasting and cuts off his aspirations for that which is temporary. When Muhammad bin Sirin was about to die, he wept. It was said to him: `Why are you weeping?` He replied: `I am weeping due to my lapses in the days that have passed and the small number of deeds that I performed seeking the lofty Paradise. -
The day of Judgement in sure to come, but when it will be, it is a matter known to only Allah the Great. But the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has told us about some sings that indicate that the day is coming nearer and nearer. Such signs are of three types: the first type of signs have already come to pass, the second type of signs are those that appear gradually with the passage of time. The third type is of the signs that appears just very near too the Day- these are called the Greater Signs of the Day. In this book we have dealt with the first two types of the signs that are known to be the Smaller Signs of the Day.
