"Modesty, sometimes known as demureness, is a mode of dress and deportment that intends to avoid the encouragement of sexual attraction in others. The word modesty comes from the Latin word modestus, which means 'keeping within measure'." In simple words, modesty is the quality of not drawing attention to oneself and being humble. It often refers to how people dress and behave in ways that don't show off or bring excessive attention.   Modesty throughout the world There is a common consensus on human nature that stipulates covering the private parts of the body. This convention cuts across cultures, religions, and societies as it refers to something deeply embedded within man. The instincts are closely related to the concept of innate disposition (fitrah), which refers to the natural instincts guided towards dignity and self-respect by which man lives. In whichever civilization, at whatever time in history, people covered themselves using clothing or coverings, no...

Causality is the principle or relationship between causes and effects. It asserts that every event (effect) has a cause or set of causes that precede it and lead to its occurrence. In essence, causality explains how one event or action leads to the occurrence of another, forming a sequence where the cause directly influences the outcome. For long causality has been used to back various pseudosciences and corrupted ideology. From a secular world-view the existence of the universe itself is a product of cause and effect, while it denies the initial cause or have no answers for what caused the cause to cause. In this article we aim to discuss the only logical explanation of causality with respect to sound intellect and objective laws of reality. Dr. Israr Ahmad on Causality and Its Relationship with Divine Decree Dr. Israr Ahmad ( Rahimahullah ) offers a profound explanation of causality and its connection to Qadr, or Divine Decree, in Islamic theology. He emphasizes that nothing in the ...

Poetry has long been associated with a high degree of intellectual and emotional intelligence (IQ and EQ). However, even among skilled poets, the ways in which these traits manifest and influence their work can differ significantly. This distinction can be seen in the contrasting intellectual and emotional trajectories of two prominent poets of the subcontinent: Jaun Elia and Allama Muhammad Iqbal (rahimahullah). Though both were gifted poets and philosophers, their respective legacies differ vastly in their philosophical outlooks and contributions to society. The Intellectual Divide: Jaun Elia vs. Iqbal Jaun Elia and Allama Iqbal were both celebrated for their linguistic mastery and philosophical depth, but the direction in which their intellects took them was profoundly different. While Iqbal is recognized as a visionary philosopher who sought the revival of Islamic spirituality, intellectualism, and the eventual establishment of an Islamic state, Jaun Elia’s work increasingly veered...

Human nature, or fitrah, is inherently designed with two core elements: worship and imitation. These aspects are deeply ingrained in human psychology and significantly influence how we form our identities, make decisions, and ultimately live our lives. Understanding how these elements shape our behaviour is crucial, particularly from an Islamic perspective, which emphasises the role of divine guidance in shaping a morally sound existence. When we think of "idol worship," many might picture people bowing before statues or images of deities in traditional religious practices. However, in today’s modern world, idol worship takes on a much broader and more subtle form. Idol worship is not limited to literal statues or religious icons; it also manifests as the obsessive admiration and emulation of celebrities, athletes, politicians, and other public figures. This modern form of idol worship occurs when individuals elevate certain figures to an almost divine status, admiring their ...

Most people believe that mutations can help a species evolve into a different species, but is this scientifically possible? Let's have a look. As we all know, speciation means that a species evolves into a different species. This is one of the major arguments that people who believe in Darwinian evolution quote. But this holds no water. Why? Allow me to explain, but before going deep into that, let us understand Mutation correctly. Mutation Generally, when people hear about mutation, Superheroes come into their minds, maybe because of the cinema, but that is totally wrong. When you ask a person what mutation does, he will tell you that mutation can change a person into Hulk, or mutation can make you strong like Captain America or something like Spider-Man, but that's not the fact, and this is only a fairy tale, not the reality. In reality, science tells us that the mutations are mostly neutral which means they will make no effect in your genetic code or they are harmful which ...

Western outlets disproportionately emphasize Israeli casualties, humanizing them with personal details, names, and stories, while Palestinian deaths are anonymized or reduced to numbers. For example, headlines like “Israeli mother killed by rocket” contrast sharply with “Several Palestinians dead in airstrike.” Language further compounds this bias, with terms like “collateral damage” and “tragic accidents” used to describe Palestinian deaths, often in passive voice (“children died” rather than “children were killed”). This disparity highlights a selective empathy, where Israeli victims are seen as innocent and deserving of global sympathy, while Palestinian lives are devalued, their deaths framed as inevitable or self-inflicted. Palestinian women and children are often depicted through stereotypes that strip them of agency and humanity. Women are portrayed as either oppressed victims or complicit in violence, such as the mothers of “martyrs.” Meanwhile, Palestinian children are framed ...
