The Plight of Palestine On The Quds Day

The Plight of Palestine On The Quds Day Dr. Maqsood Jafri @ The earth is quivering and eclipsed is the Sun. Whose petal like bodies are smashed with the roaring guns? Instead of water; blood is gushing from the rocky stones. The shrieks of youth are heard from the rattling bones. The Palestinian freedom fighters with stones, Combat the ferocious wretched goons. Is the world conscience sleep or is dead? You can see the blood of youth in the roses red. The predators with uncouth demonic designs, Sever the roots of peace and burn the shrines. A lad and a lass are bestially murdered. But the passionate zealots have not surrendered. Israeli is pacing like an unbridled steed, Needs to be harnessed, slowing down its speed. The day of glorious victory will dawn soon, And the opaque night will be brightened with the shining Moon. April 28, 2022

In fact, Eid ul Fitr means Feast of Breaking Fast – an apt description for a day that celebrates sacrifice, charity, patience and forgiveness. It’s also a celebration of prayer: after fasting all day long during Ramadan, Muslims worldwide will come together to pra...

The Message Of Islam : An Inductive Approach To The Study Of Islam

The Message Of Islam : An Inductive Approach To The Study Of Islam " The Message Of Islam" is a philosophical treatise intrinsically drafted by Dr Maqsood Jafri, a scholar from Pakistan, wherein the latter divulges the need for interfaith dialogue between Jews and Muslims not to spread bloodshed but to let justice prevail, which is the Message of all religions without exception. He strongly opined that Islam is a religion of Peace, Love, Justice, Rationality that ponders over fundamental principles to preserve balance and equilibrium in human society. Islam, by the same token, as a scientific and inductive study is imbided with intellect, logical reasoning, denouncing all deductive approach, superstition, and abstractions in tackling the spiritual, and the philosophical discourse.  Jafri, thus, calls for an objective, serious, rational enquiry or quest of the Holy Quran to prove that the " Message Of Islam" strongly condemns bloodshed and aggression, and advocates p...
