In this marvelous lecture titled, Living in an Atheistic Society, Dr. Shabir Ally tackles a number of important questions to which he gives substantial rational answers. These questions include: What is Atheism?, What is the “Problem of Evil”?, What is Agnosticism?, Does God exist?, and, what evidence supports the existence of God?
No human being can claim to be free from weaknesses and shortcomings. This is the reason why we find oppression and injustice, in one form or another, wherever man-made laws are in force instead of the law of God, and where human authority is obeyed instead of the Divine commands.
God is the only true Provider. It is He who has bestowed on man such faculties and capabilities as seeing, hearing, thinking and articulating-attributes which man cannot live without, but which he cannot create for himself. It is He who has made available the resources of the external world which man may discover, exploit and develop but, again, cannot create.
It is intuitively obvious, and confirmed by science, that the universe had a beginning. Every action requires a doer, and thus the existence of creation necessarily indicates the existence of the Creator. Allah appeals to the human mind and rationality...

The meticulous care and concern a wild animal like the crocodile shows its offspring is only one of the examples proving the invalidity of the evolutionist claim of the struggle for life which maintains that the strong survive while the others are defeated and disappear. The dolphin is another animal known for its self-sacrificing behavior. Dolphins raise their offspring with great care from the moment they are born. As soon as the newborn dolphin is born...
Islam is a religion based upon knowledge derived through reason and revelation; and ultimately it is our knowledge of the Oneness of God combined with faith as well as the total commitment to God that saves us. In the history of Islamic Civilization a student of science – indeed any seeker of knowledge – has always been held in honor and high esteem.
Recent scientific discoveries have clarified certain Qur'anic verses. Such advances in knowledge occur successively, as the universe proceeds upon its decreed course and in the measure of understanding appointed for us. We must acknowledge and praise the efforts and achievements of researchers and scientists, but they should not lead us to ingratitude and insolence (the roots of unbelief).
Until very recently it was thought that the baby sex is determined by the mother’s cell. Or, at least it was thought that the baby sex is determined by the male and female cells together. But we are given totally different information in the Qur’an. Let’s watch this interesting video to see what the Qur’an has to say in this regard.
This is a very interesting video on one of the miracles of the Qur'an which is concerned with the splitting of the moon during the era of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) more than 14 hundred years ago.

Research has revealed that babies fed on mother's milk are better protected from respiratory and digestive infections. That is because the antibodies in mother's milk provide a direct defense against infection.
This is the second part of the autobiography of Ologunde Sa, the Indian Ex-atheist woman who turned to Islam after a very long journey that witnessed so many various stages. Each stage led to the next by Allah’s Grace and Mercy. In this part we will see some of the questions she had on Christianity such as the Original Sin issue, Jesus’ death for humans’ sins, the Trinity and salvation, etc.
I was born in Scotland to a house which was atheist. In our house, we were not allowed ever to speak about God, and even if we learned something in school, we were not allowed to say anything or we would be punished.
A graduate of Cornell University, Brown University Medical School and George Washington University Hospital residency program, Laurence B. Brown is an ophthalmic surgeon, a retired Air Force officer, and the medical director and chief ophthalmologist of a major eye center. Watch this video to see how he came to Islam after a long search for the truth.
No other religion professed by a large community have I found so comprehensible and encouraging. There seems no better way towards tranquility and contentment in life, no greater promise for the future after death.
