    Lying is difficult for some, while for others telling the truth is difficult.

    Undisguising the most disgraced one, Zawjah Farid duly details his devious, deceitful tricks us No, you won’t hear it. You won’t hear the clink clank of armour; nor the clatter of shields and guards. No glistening, shining swords are involved. No tanks and missiles are needed. It is not the strength of steel against steel. On the contrary, the battle is a silent one, a very silent one. But an unspoken, soundless encounter is not necessarily read more>>

  • An Exclusive talk by Junaid Jamshed on Pilgrimage: A Journey of a Lifetime
    My dear brothers, sisters and friends!
    The divinity of the worship of Hajj is such that the sweetness of faith it produces and the changes it brings about in one’s life are hard to find in other forms of worship. It is a unique ritual. In the Holy Quran, when Allah summoned people towards the pilgrimage, He invited not only the Muslims alone, but all of humanity to perform Hajj. read more>>

Small Note of Appreciation from India !

To,
Editor Intellect (entire team)
Good day, First of all I must congratulate you on your first issue of the magazine, honestly I have no words; really good work.
I never came across a magazine which covers such amazing spiritual topics in this manner. And then apart from the contents, a really good thing about this magazine is the quality of paper and printing. The colour combination is very fine. “Awakening of Islam” too good!
Hats off to the Editor for such a wonderful work. No one can say it is the first issue of a magazine. It surely looks like very experienced hands and thorough knowledge is behind all this.
Once again wish you all the best. Keep it up and am sure this magazine will go far ahead.
Best Regards,
Chetan Balhotra India

Excellent Work

Respected Imam Sahib Hazrat Abdus Sattar / Dear Brother Nasir Muneer / Sister Bint Zahid,

Assalam-o-Alaikum WR WB,
I hope all is well at your side. I received the copies of the Intellect Magazine and am extremely delighted to see an excellent work being carried out by the team associated with the Masjid, the School and the Magazine in particular. The quality of the Magazine, its contents and enlightening articlesand contributions are of great value to the readers.

I personally miss the company of great people like Imam Sahib since I moved to Dubai in 2005 and I am always finding a vacuum in my life after loosing the spiritual environment of Masjid Bait us Salam, including the great Ramadhan and its evening classes.

We request you all, especially Imam Sahib to remember all of us in prayers. Wassalam, Masoud Ali Khan Dubai.
Wassalam,
Masoud Ali Khan .Dubai

Appreciation and Suggestion

To,
The Editor
I would first like to congratulate everyone working for this magazine. It is an excellent effort. I have gone through the magazine and find it to be entertaining as well as informative. There is only one humble suggestion that if the language of the articles is made simpler then many who are not well versed in English may also read it and understand it easily.
Sincerely,
Dr.Sohail Ahmed


Best Magazine

Assalamualeikum Editor,
I read your magazine and found it to be great!
Although I have read other Islamic magazines too but yours is definitely the best of all.
I liked every section of this magazine as they all have something different to offer and are very informative and interesting, especially the article on ‘Mothers’.

Keep it up. Jazakumullah khairen for providing such good reading material.

Rap and Gangster Culture

Assalamualeikum Editor,
Recently I bought the first issue of the Intellect Magazine. I am highly impressed and pray for its success.
I too would like to participate if possible.

After I read the interview of Junaid Jamshed in the spotlight, I thought there are many people like him who have left music for Islam, which is a very commendable thing.

Our society has been plagued by this curse of music. Even a person who prays five times a day is listening to it. I would like to bring to your attention that youngsters are getting involved in rap and gangster culture. This culture would eventually lead our young generation towards drug, alcohol and eventually death. If you really get to meet such kids they would say their source of inspiration is 2PAC (RAP SINGER), Eminen etc. But these kids do not know the consequences of leading such a life.

There is this guy in America… his name Mutah Wassin Shabazz Beale formerly known as Napolean. He was a good friend of 2PAC. He reverted to Islam years back ( Alhumdullilah) and has been heavily involved in Dawah. Mutah is addressing young muslims and non muslims in US and sharing his thoughts on music and Islam. I would appreciate if you could publish about his life before and after reverting to Islam. This act may change the views of those kids who are wrongly inspired by rap and gangster culture.

May Allah protect us from Shaytaan and show us the path of Truth. Ameen.
Muhammed Saad Kazi


The Intellect:
azakumullahu khairen to all for getting in touch with us. Truly, it is very encouraging to feel the goodwill and contribution of so many people. Intellect is a sparkling jewel found in every true believer of Islam. It is this natural thirst within us which is connecting us all to this magazine and thus, Alhamdulillah, we feel united. Aameen to your sincere Duas and we ask you to continue praying for us. Indeed, our greatest success is in Allah (swt) answering our prayers by guiding people and making them dedicated to the true Deen through our work. Barak Allahu Feekum.
