Memperoleh hikmat sungguh jauh melebihi memperoleh emas, dan mendapat pengertian jauh lebih berharga daripada mendapat perak. Amsal 16:16

Suatu hari, dahulu kala, sebuah gereja yang mengagumkan berdiri di sebuah bukit yang tinggi di sebuah kota yang besar. Jika dihiasi lampu-lampu untuk sebuah perayaan istimewa, gereja itu dapat dilihat hingga jauh di sekitarnya. Namun demikian ada sesuatu yang jauh lebih menakjubkan dari gereja ini ketimbang keindahannya: legenda yang aneh dan indah tentang loncengnya.

Di sudut gereja itu ada sebuah menara berwarna abu-abu yang tinggi, dan di puncak menara itu, demikian menurut kata orang, ada sebuah rangkaian lonceng yang paling indah di dunia. Tetapi kenyataannya tak ada yang pernah mendengar lonceng-lonceng ini selama bertahun-tahun. Bahkan tidak juga pada hari Natal. Karena merupakan suatu adat pada Malam Natal bagi semua orang untuk datang ke gereja membawa persembahan mereka bagi bayi Kristus. Dan ada masanya di mana sebuah persembahan yang sangat tidak biasa yang diletakkan di altar akan menimbulkan alunan musik yang indah dari lonceng-lonceng yang ada jauh di puncak menara.

Islamic Swimwear For The Active Muslimah

by Gabriel Perez All these year's Muslim females have faced the issue of finding a suitable swimwear which adheres to the Koran, which needs a lady to cover everything except her hands, face and feet. The swimwear available in the market were either not targeted for the Muslim women as they led to show of skin or were theoretical for swimming. To aptly describe how uncomfortable the Muslim swimwear designed for Muslimahs was I shall quote Aheda Zanetti who wrote to the National Geographic News saying "As an active Muslim women, I found it tough to take part in most sports, because of the excess garments we were wearing. And the veil very unpractical while playing sports".

Superiority Comes from Character, Not Blood

by Harun Yahya Darwin's portraying human beings as a developed species of animal and his presentation of some races as not yet having completed their development, and as species closer to animals was intensely dangerous and destructive in human history. Those who took this claim of Darwin's as their guide mercilessly oppressed other races, forced them to live under the harshest conditions, and even exterminated them. Bryan Appleyard, author of the book Brave New Worlds, explains the tyrannical mentality underlying racism, and the results of it, in this way: The point is that once people decide you are a lesser creature for whatever reason, either superstitious or scientific, there appears to be no limit to what cruelty they may inflict on you. And they are likely to inflict that cruelty feeling fully justified, because it is but a small step from believing another human being is inferior to believing that he is bad, dangerous, or threatening to 'superior' beings.

The Prophet of Islam - His Biography

by Muhammad Hamidullah IN the annals of men, individuals have not been lacking who conspicuously devoted their lives to the socio-religious reform of their connected peoples. We find them in every epoch and in all lands. In India, there lived those who transmitted to the world the Vedas, and there was also the great Gautama Buddha; China had its Confucius; the Avesta was produced in Iran. Babylonia gave to the world one of the greatest reformers, the Prophet Abraham (not to speak of such of his ancestors as Enoch and Noah about whom we have very scanty information). The Jewish people may rightly be proud of a long series of reformers: Moses, Samuel, David, Solomon, and Jesus among others. 2. Two points are to note: Firstly these reformers claimed in general to be the bearers each of a Divine mission, and they left behind them sacred books incorporating codes of life for the guidance of their peoples. Secondly there followed fratricidal wars, and massacres and genocides became the order...
