نطاق المصرفية الاسلامية في كيرالا، نظرة اجتماعية
والمسلمون فيها تحت ريادية القيادة الدينية والسياسية والتي عبد الطريق لتطورهم عند مقارنتهم بنظرائهم في الولايات الأخرى في الهند. وللمسلمين في كيرالا مدارس وكليات تعمل بشكل منظم ومنسق. يوجد فيها رغبة متدفقة من الجهات السياسية لتاسيس مصرف اسلامي . ويتمكن المعاهد الاسلامية الموفرة للدراسة العالية في العلوم الدين مساندة عقلية مطلوبة للبحوث والتطوير لمفاهيم المصرفية الاسلامية

Library: A resort for bookworms?
![]()
Every campus in the world has a library. This is the place where the students flock to for completing their notes and assignments, term papers and research projects. But is library a mere resort for the bookworms? History opines otherwise. This was the place where the gospel of communism was revealed to its proponents.
Making mistakes is Man’s right, not Microsoft’s
Life is all about change. ‘Change’ in seasons, change in relationships, change within one’s owns self. No single moment is the same in the universe. The planetary bodies are changing their location every moment. The rising sun has never seen the same earth on any two days. Change in state or rather movement is the essence of every nucleus.
Palestine: What approach next ?
What is it with the world? Why are they blind to the innocent children massacred on the streets of Palestine? When will the neighbors in the region understand that what the Palestine people need is NOT millions in ‘developmental’ funds but a visionary leadership and the necessary tools for a ‘civilized one-on -one combat’. How can the struggle with stones be equated with tanks and missiles?
Valentine’s Day: The Cupid Conspiracy
In fact, it is the defeat of true love when corporate entities like gift vendors, be it online or offline retail stores, starts to superimpose the parameters for the pleasing the Beloved in the way that pleases their profit margins. Like a parvanah (a moth), Love is bewitched by the Shama’a (lamp)’s glitter. Unaware, it burns inside it….And the sad state of affairs show that such relationships, inspired by hot-selling romantic quotes and gifts, are as delicate as the Valentine Balloons - a little thorn pricks and it goes boom!
Need for an Islamic auction site
And being a staunch believer in Iqbalian philosophy, I believe that the ‘angel should not go in hiding, when the devil is making merry’. Therefore I was envisioning a Muslim auction site where Islam was the theme, in its background, icons, sounds, animations…
Mother Rediscovered
Thanks to the media, the commercial giants have spent heavily on defining motherhood through their products. Biscuits, stationeries, soft drinks, online gift vendors have all rediscovered a sudden fondness for the entity called ‘Mother’. Business as usual.
Hum Dil de chuke!
I had a fascinating Biology class today. The topic in discussion was the Heart transplant and other cardiac related issues. Many students asked questions about what they knew and what they didn’t. The teacher replied satisfactorily
Pilgrimage to a Moneywise Shrine

I expected to see leaflets explaining in simple words, and in bilingual, the benefits of Interest Free Banking. Why had Lord forbidden usury? Why had the Unlettered Prophet of Arabia eliminated interest from all economic activities including the Dr and Cr columns of accounting ledgers… Questions remained unanswered!
The Mrs. Perfect attitude !
The gender conflict arises, as is commonly known, from ego clashes. There is no permanent solution to this fight. The Creator has fashioned the human nature with all the required flexibility it needs. Humans only need to adjust to this kind of problem. And perhaps realize the truth that there is no absolute right or left when it comes to the question of human nature
The curtain has risen, its time to act!
Media is very important for the development of the Ummah. For it is the command of Islam to “verify the truth when someone brings you a news”. The “lie incident” which forms an integral part of ’sura Nur’ throws enough light on the importance of the ‘right information’ at the ‘right time’.
Depression : Hunting for the spirit in the body!
Stress management has become a specialized field in management and other humanities. But I see the problem with a slightly different perspective. The basic issue is treatment is given for the fruits when the disease has affected the roots. They fail to identify the disease in the heart, and try curing the heart.
The smile of Agony
How am I to behold the volcano of anguish and anger? This fume that is being emitted, spreads far and wide, knowing no bounds. Frustration enfolds every vein of mine. Nothing but curse and mistrust. And what can I say about this hell at heart?
Sweet since Night One!
![]()
At home, I have made it a point to be part of Kitchen Inc. as much as possible (say, a few minutes!) But of course, relieve at least half hour before adhan to be engaged in serious Ibadah. It is common in as many households I have seen to be running around looking for spoon or other items when adhan is being called. The point is: the occasion before opening fast is such a blessed time which should be spent in duas and not shouting for lost and found items on the dining table.
In the light of Sura Al Noor
The verse of light has baffled both Ulama and Sufis since its revelation. At some point, after lengthy discussions, the thinkers become reluctant to go any further for the fear of their readers’ faith. Although the verse has its apparent meaning, there is enough room for individuals to delve further without divulging their private thoughts with others.
While at a first glance of reading this verse, we would normally hurry to conclude the similarities between light and the Creator, it would be rather wise to understand the differences between both… by Jaihoon

The impact of Iqra Revolution on the development of Information Technology

The Holy Qur’an as a religious text pioneered the concept of education technology by mentioning ‘Pen’ as the first non-living object in the Revelation. This demonstrates the importance of ‘Technology’ in furthering education (Information) for the benefit of humanity.
It is worth mentioning here that the Creator did not mention about stars or cars, earth or heavens among the first objects. Instead He opted for a very simple thing, i.e. the Pen. A more deeper analysis of the above verses reveal that the use of Pen is cited as among the bounties of Almighty. It is out of His generosity that teaching is made possible via the pen.

Everyday’s a Valentine’s Day
Human relationships are invisible and perpetual bonds established between hearts. And heart is free from seasons of the year. Lovers need not wait for the arrival of summer and winter to show their craze for the their loved ones.
It would be wrong to say that gifts have absolutely no impact on love. It may strengthen and broaden the fine thread that knit two tender hearts. Exchange of gifts are known to man since the days of Adam and Eve during the pre-earth days.

Monkey’s day out
Since the advent of Darwin’s theory of evolution, there has been an increased interest in the ‘monkey’ family. They are widely used as pets, circus performers or in psychological tests. According to the theory of evolution, monkey family, is the closest to man in the hierarchy. This tailed creature is the immediate predecessor to the ‘tail-less creature’. Scientists have found both relatively close to each other in terms of intelligence and body movements. In body shape also there are similarities.
