Pada suatu akhir pekan, seorang pria bernama Malcolm, bertempat tinggal di Vancouver, mengajak tunangannya berjalan-jalan melewati hutan utara British Colombia.

Tinggi badan Malcolm hanya sekitar 157 cm, sedangkan beruang itu sangat besar. Namun, dia mempunyai keberanian dan berhasil membebaskan tunangannya. Kemudian, induk beruang menangkap Malcolm dan mulai meremukkan setiap tulang pokok di tubuhnya. Induk beruang mengakhiri serangan dengan menancapkan cakarnya pada wajah Malcolm dan mencakar lurus hingga ke kepala bagian belakang.

Ajaib, ternyata Malcolm tetap hidup. Selama delapan tahun dia berulang-ulang menjalani operasi pemulihan. Selama itu, para dokter telah melakukan semua bedah kosmetik yang mungkin bisa mereka lakukan. Namun, semua itu tidak cukup menolong Malcolm dan Malcolm memandang dirinya sebagai si buruk rupa.

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.

Aqeedah: its Meaning and Importance

by Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Qari, Introduction One narration states, "You are going to a people from the People of the Book. Let the first thing that you call them to be the worship of Allah. If they acknowledge Allah, then inform them that Allah has obligated upon them five prayers during their days and nights." [Al-Bukhari, Muslim] This hadith is clear. It does not require much of an explanation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) applied this principle in his practical calling to Islam. He stayed in Makkah for thirteen years to teach the people iman and to educate his Companions on this point and to correct the beliefs of the people.

Abdullah ibn Umar said, "We lived during an instant of time in which one of us would receive faith first before receiving the Quran and when the surahs were r...

People of The Book & The Muslims

by Harun Yahya Islam is a religion of peace, love and tolerance. Today, however, some circles have been presenting a false image of Islam, as if there were conflict between Islam and the adherents of the two other monotheistic religions. Yet Islam's view of Jews and Christians, who are named "the People of the Book" in the Koran, is very friendly and tolerant. This attitude towards the People of the Book developed during the years of the birth of Islam. At that time, Muslims were a minority, struggling to protect their faith and suffering oppression and torture from the pagans of the city of Mecca. Due to this persecution, some Muslims decided to flee Mecca and shelter in a safe country with a just ruler. The Prophet Muhammad told them to take refuge with King Negus, the Christian king of Ethiopia. The Muslims who followed this advice found a very fair administration that embraced them with love and respect when they went to Ethiopia. King Negus refused the demands of the...
