The Arrival of The Angel

THE COMING OF THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

Muhammad sought loneliness
Retired to Hira, sat amidst its darkness
As the night of Arabia swept through
He was up there as the cold wind blew

As Muhammad was in deep thought
An angel appeared in sight
Asked him to read which he knew not
For he could not read or write

Muhammad spoke with fright
And said he could not recite
Gabriel embraced him thrice
Five verses to memorize

Took his energy, fled from the site
Rushed home to his beloved spouse
Shivering with fear through the night
Kadijah comforted him in his house


Waraqah, a monotheist in belief
And made Muhammad relief
For its the same angel who visited Moses
And the other Prophets and Jesus.

It is reported that ‘ Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, requested further information about Allah’s injunction of the Keys of the Treasure of the Heavens and the Earth (mentioned several times in the Quran). The Prophet saws said to him “You have inquired of me something which nobody has ever asked me befo...

Gazzali's Jinn - Introduction

Introduction Initially I was about to write something that can be readily appreciated by the masses, which is economics. Endless wants but limited means. Economics theories like the subject on Jinn, is equally filed in the comfort slot and collecting dust. Economics is useful in daily lives of people but needed a different perspective and change to make them most practical. During a recession, it is economics norm to cut interest rates to stimulate borrowing and spur on production, consumption and give a boost to the economy. In boom times, the rate is raised to restrain business investment and consumer borrowing to level off excess optimism and prices. But business firms borrow when they can make money and not because interest rates are low. Against conventional wisdom that consumer is king, firms decide what to make and then persuade people to buy it through advertising. Like economics, religion does play an important part in my life-in fact in most people’s lives. Economics is real...
