How could it be possible for Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) to get this medical information from over 1400years ago??

 At the seventh medical miracle CONFERENCE of the Quran in 1982 the Thai scientist (Tajas) the specialized knowledge of the embryos has heard these verses from

Quran Surat Al-Mu'minūn (The Believers) - سورة المؤمنون 
12… And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.
13… Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging.
14… Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah , the best of creators...

 So the scientist has declared on the spot without hesitation an open testimony that "THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MUHAMMED IS HIS MESSENGER."

 Also attended the conference the famous professor (Keith Moore), a great master in the U.S. and Canadian universities and the most famous scientists of anatomy and embryology in the world and head of this department at the University of Toronto, Canada

He said "(it is impossible for your prophet to know all these details and the information's are accurate in all phases of the creation of human and have the same perception of the fetus and he must have been in contact with CREATOR of the world" and he Has declared his conversion to Islam at the conference which was held in 1983 and he wrote of the miracles of the Quran in Arabic in his book at the university's famous book, which was taught to medical students in the colleges of the United States and Canada ....

It remains to know that in the first scientific miracles conference of the Holy Quran and Sunnah, which was held in Cairo in 1986 stand Dr. Keith Moore (Keith Moore)) in his lecture, saying(I can testify to scientific miracles of God in creation in every stage of the Koran, and I do not think that Muhammad peace be upon him, or any other person could possibly know what is happening in the development of the fetus because these developments have not discovered except in the latter part of the twentieth century, and I want to confirm that everything I read in the Qur'an for the emergence of the fetus and its development in the womb applies (match) to all I know as a scientist of prominent scientists embryos).

The answer to the question: How do you believe in Muhammad and believe in Christ?
 Answered: I think they were from one school.

Two Muslimah....Two News...But one analysis..

Two Muslimah....Two News...But one analysis..

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 10:18am

Yesterday's news papers flashed pictures of two Muslimah. One Ishrat Jahan, lying helpless shot dead, head uncovered, stagnant blood on her dress, eyes half closed and mouth half open, her modesty decorated by the head lines of all the Indian newspapers of all langauges : Ishrat Jahan not a terrorist but murdered in a staged encounter.

My creed says that her soul doesnt care about this headlines nor would she be smiling in her grave because her matter is already in the court of Allah, and according to the Sahih Hadith..Among the first cases to be given verdict on the day of judgement will be of the killing of an innocent. Now that the Indepedant jury has done its job and now it is the duty of law abiding Muslims seniors and high profile citizens, rich, affluent class, influential class, lawyers, politicos... to do the followup of the case with the aid of NGOs and Human Rights. Ishrat has been proved innocent but now the Indian Muslims have to prove that they are a strong community. Legal options are always there to support your fight for a just cause.

In the inside pages of sports Anisa Syed, holding a pistol and aiming at the gold medal in the National Shooting Competition with an appplauding news that she hit the gold. This reminds me of the glittering days of my other sister in Islam , Sania Mirza. Her outfits in tennis court were highly criticised and were the most commonly questioned to Islamic orators in their public speeches. In an Islamic attire , uncovered head is also considered to be an act of disobedience as much as uncovered legs..

As far as the common Muslims girls with Islamic background goes, none of them would be wanting to meet an end like Ishrat nor live like a live Barbie doll in the sport rings. Modesty is the most precious jewellery of a Muslimah. I cannot forget the pain that pierced my heart as a common Muslim when I saw Ishrat's pciture of sitting in a car her head resting on the neck of the seat ,unable to respond to the accusations. There were stories circulated in the news papers with wild guesses or gossips if she was a girlfriend of one the dead man in the same shoot out. Investigators in Crime and Media swarmed in her college to dig out something fishy about the character of the dead girl. her modesty was ravaged through such columned news.

As a well wisher of our community I undergo the same pain when Muslimm star girls in sports are highlighted as the icons of Muslim feminism.The same media also storms around the celebrity Muslim sport girls (ofcourse all the glittering girls) to dig out some thing exciting about their hidden life..

But the difference lies in serving both the news.. one is thrown as a rag on the face and the other is presented in a platter to costumers as a delicious item...Both the news are there, but the taste is different...

In the Company of the Scholars...Abdul Hadi Umri...The Learned Hyderbadi from UK

In the Company of the Scholars...Abdul Hadi Umri...The Learned Hyderbadi from UK

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Thursday, November 24, 2011 at 5:26am

The best hour of working in IRF happens to be those in the company of learned men. And ever since Peace Conference has become a regular affair, I look forward to meet the scholars from many places. Last year I got more time to be with Abdul Hadi Umri. He was alone with no relatives or friends as such in Mumbai. When the rest of the scholars used to go and visit their respective relatives and Jamat members, Abdul Hadi used to be in his hotel room, resting or preparing for the next day's TV talks. So one day I urged him to come with me. The shooting got packed up early that day and we went to Juhu the famous beach of Mumbai.. It was a great time. He shared hs experience in UK and other matters. He really had a nice time after tedious week of recording.

He is a grateful man and I expereinced the taste of his gratefulness later when I visited Hyderbad a few months later to attend a Zahack Tanvir's wedding. Knowing that I was to be on Friday in the city, some wellwishers approached the trustees of a large masjid to seek the permission if a speaker from IRF can deliver the Jumuah Khutbah..Abdul Hadi Umri happened to be there and he asked " which speaker of IRF ?" The boys replied, "Nisaar Nadiadwala", in the same breath Adbul Hadi Umri responded," Ofcourse if it is Nisaar Bhai then he msut give a khutbah here... and he will have a dinner at my place..

One of the best meal I had was at the place of Abdul Hadi Umri in Hyderbad. I dont rememebr what was served but I do remember what the learned man spoke about Jinn and black magic. His arguments were simple, and digestable. It was a memorable dinner and also a long one too which lasted till midnight. That prompted me to let go my bus to Mumbai. But I returned form Hyderabad richer with knowledge of deen.

The difference between being in the company of a book and in the company of a scholar is that.. the scholar explains you the book. You can interact with the scholar but not with the book. That is why Allah sent Prophets along with the Books. i am fond of books and people who are fond of knowledge. That makes my learned friend Abdul Hadi Umri my close friend. Let me tell you something about him. He is from Hyderabad settled in London in his early youth. Besides being a knowledgable person he is also updated in current events. When I first saw him I found him to be among the best speaker on Peace TV Urdu. His oratory skills beautified with a good voice and sound reason makes him a skilled speaker.

A fair man with a brownish black beard Abdul Haadi looks more like a European Moulana than an Indian. This year during Peace conference 2011, he was in Mumbai to particpate with us. And we were together for eight hours every day again...

In fact it is not important how manyhours you pass inn the company of a learned man but how you pass those hours? How much of knowledge you squeeze from them..What good traits you notice in them and borrow to add them to your own personality...Being in the company of a scholar is indeed benefical in its own way.

The Qur'an also affirms this : Say not equal are those who know and those who do not know...Surah Ghafir..

The students of the sahaba used to be in the company of their teachers and learn from them. Nafey was the freed slave of Abdullah bin Umar..while serving Abdullah, he himself learnt a lot and became the narrator and the teacher of Imam Malik. Ikrimah was also a freed slave of Ibn Abbas, another noted companion of the Prophet peace be upon him... ikrimah is among those trustworthy narrators of Tafseer of Qur'an whom Ibn Kathir quotes extenslively. Mujahid was another wonder of the tafseer and he was a student of Ibn Abbas r.a...Ibn Kathir quotes Mujahid ...I reviewed the Msuhaf (the written work of the commentary of the Qur'an) with Ibn Abbas from the begining to the end,asking him about each and every verse of the Qur'an three times !!!!! Sufyan Thawry said : If the tafseer (explaination of the Qur'an) reaches you from Mujahid , then it is sufficient for you...

Are You a Fan or a Devotee ?The Cult of Hero Worship

Are You a Fan or a Devotee ?The Cult of Hero Worship

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Friday, November 25, 2011 at 9:37am

Some times back a new movie "Body Guard" featuring Bolly wood star Salman Khan , was released and the producers claimed to have collected almost two third of money in the first week itself. A movie reviewer wrote about the craze of Salman Khan. He asked a cab driver " How was the movie "? The driver raised his thumb along with a spark in his eyes "Fantastatic"..."What did you like in the Movie ?"...Salman Khan's entry !The way he walks on the screen!!!! The reviewer then commented " I realised that these are not the fans but devotees, they adore anything that their heroes do withuot questioning their own intellect.

Heroes and stars are the new gods of this age. Fans, audience, readers, viewers are upgraded as devotees. Godship and worships were never marketed before as they are marketed now. Image building has become a huge multi billion dollarsindustry. When stars from movies and sports are projected as super men even a small acheivement in public life spiced with blitzing publicity will gather a fan crowd around you. Your hair sprouting in all direction like that of a procupine will be a style, your torn jeans is no more a rag piece, your short height will be a boost to the moral of short people looking for high acheivements.. and they all begin to worship you without bowing to you. They dream about you, they eat what you eat, they want to spend how you spend.. They are your spiritual slaves, willing to do any thing to be like you.

The web of this cult appears stronger than a fortress, with the one who refuses to be a fan is counted as an orthodox, lagging behind. A terrible inferiority complex is injected in the veins of the youth when their girlfriends and boy friends compare them with these heroes. The danger gets more dangerous when the whole society swims in the current. The Qur'an speaks strongly against this form of human worship. There are three verses simultaniously referrring to hero worshipping and its consequences.

The verse number 165 of Surah al Baqarah begins with an announcement... And among the mankind, there are men who (for worship) others besides Allah as equal to Allah.. the verse continues describing a form of human worship...They love them (heroes, ideals) as they should love Allah...

The next verse is a scene of the day of judgment that describes the plight of the trendsetters and the trend followers. ..Then would those who are followed ( Trendsetters,adored, worshipped, admired) clear themselve who followed them...and they would see the penalty while all the relations between them will be cut off... at that time those who were the followers (devotees, trend followers..).

Verse number 167 describes the regret of these devotees... And those who followed would say : If only we had one more chance, we would clear ourselves of them as theyhave cleared themselves of us, thus Allah will show them their deeds (their crze, blind following) as regrets.....

Following a common trend is a common sickness in human society since ages. Surah Yunus highlights in two places ,the epedemic of following wrong trends...Verse 36....But most of them follow nothing but fancy and fancy can be of no avail against the truth.. verse 66.. They follow nothing but fancy, they do noting but lie...

The Arabic word is "Zann" which also means conjecture which has nothing to do with the truth.. Consider Super man, Batman Terminator , James Bond, Rambo..They do things which is not possible by human with above average strength, courage and skills. These are the Zanns of this age which come to our homes via dish antennas without invitations and be with our youth for hours every day, tutoring them false behaviours and ideologies and take them away from the truth to the world of "Zann" where practical life has not value..Trend Followers be aware...

The Other Nadiadwala : An Amusing note from one of my Readers...

The Other Nadiadwala : An Amusing note from one of my Readers...

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Saturday, November 26, 2011 at 12:01pm


One of my readers and my old friend, is fond of writing and has sent me a word profile of mine..I am sharing it with you after editing the style and deleting unwanted exagerrated praise... Read it and forget it...



The Other Nadiadwala ! This one not from Bollywood

 In my college days Nadiadwala meant a status in the film Industry. I was in the same college N.M College, where a large numbers of celebrity students studied and the Nadiadwalas were one of them . we ussed to see Sajid, Firoze and others hanging around with a group of elite friends. Firoze used to bring beautiful cars but Sajid was not a big man at that time. So if you search in Google you will find a host of Nadiadwalas from the glamour industry.. in between a corner there will be a bushy bearded man with small eyes and Chinese cheeks talking about how the entertainment industry is going from bad to worse.

Nisaar studied in a college meant for middle class. In college, Nisaar was a shy student, a terrible introvert as if he preffered staying in a jungle..the only time we saw him active was during 100 meters sprints where he used to dash out the other runners. I had a beard but Nisaar did not have a beard. He was always seen in a typical Gujrati style of jeans and bright coloured T shirts. Once he got zero in mathematics and I remember Proffessor Shenoy shouting at him" Atleast you should have left your answer paper blank instead of writing wrong answers..I would have given you 5 marks for neatness!!!!" the class laughed and Nisaar blushed. Then he dropped the idea of becoming an engineer and went for his favourite subject.. Literature. he never attended his Arts lectures.. the reason? there were 97 girls and only three boys.. the rest of the two boys went out with their girl friends so Nisaar also preferred to sit in the library among the books.

Then I went to Bangalore..and forgot Nisaar but got to read of Sajid and Firoze, read about their movies and their success.. till one day I got an invitation from an Islamic center to attend a talk of Nisaar bhai ! I went there along with my family.. Nisaar the ugly duckling had grown into a beautiful swan ..Nisaar the dull boy of our class had been transformed into a dashing public speaker with a good knowledge of Islamic juriprudence..The student of science who fared zero was high in Islamic IQ. The shy boy who could not face a group of friends was here after 11 September to defend his faith and his community. Nisaar did it strongly. He may not be like Zakir Naik.. but he had a style of his own..A different style.. witty comments, smart remarks on current events made Nisaar.. (err sorry Nisaar bhai) a different type of speaker.

Later in the evening I told my children " This is how Islam helps you in becoming a strong man...This is how Islam changed the entire Arab nation from loiterinng sheperds to world class warriors and administrators. One book and see the difference!.. As long as Nisaar went on reading all those English comics and novels like Parry Messon, Archies he remained a turtle in his own shell ..and the day he picked up the Qur'an, the Qur'an took him to heights. I still pray five times but did not stuck to the Qur'an as Nisaar did..the difference has shown..

This reminds me of a hadith from Umar bin Al Khattab, He quotes the Prophet peace be upon him " Allah will raise the honour of many through this Qur'an and bring down the honour of many through this Qur'an... May Allah increase your ilm and taqwa Nisaar bhai...

A Season of Marriages : When Yokes are Garlanded on Our Necks...Happily..

A Season of Marriages : When Yokes are Garlanded on Our Necks...Happily..

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 1:08pm

A couple of month back a rich Muslim family from a metropolitian south Indian city flew all the way to Mumbai to order a wedding gown for their daugther in law. The wedding is in summer but the gown was ordered 6 months before. Few weeks later they flew back to Mumbai to check if the stitching work was going on properly ! Calculate the expenditure of travelling and add it to the cost of wedding gown. It reached more than a couple of lac Indian rupees

From November till June, India celebrates weddings. Indian marriages are like the Big Bang Theory with money sprinkling in evey direction. This reminds me the 157 th verse of Surah al-Ar'af where two important obligations of the Prophet peace be upon him are reminded..wa'ud'oo anhu israhoom, wal aglalalti kanat alaihim... And he eases their burden and releases them off their yokes which are upon them.... These two obligations are applicable to our marriages, even for a rich man's marriage who can afford a fattish and a lavish entertaining feast.

Though our weddings seem celebrations but they are burdens upon the society. We have tied up the yokes of social obligations on our necks. Those obligations which were removed by the Prophet peace be upon him are now back like garlands of ritual and customs. Our marriages are just entertainments attached with a string of expenses in gold jewellry, rent and decoration of Halls, ultra expensive wedding gowns, multi cuisine menu studded with varieties of ice creams, faloodas....All these have become a compulsory expendtiture and a status symbol of a marriage. Even a poor man is not exempted from it.

Inorder to curb fornication , Islam made marriages easy and simple, but our marraiges have made fornication easier. It is very difficult to have toto hijab based waleema, because in every gathering there are males and females guests and relatives who seem to have never heard of hijab and are roaming every whre in the partitioned hall. They are on the stage with the Non-mahram cousin to have a pciture with her in her wedding gown, they are laughing and joking with other Non-mahram cousins and relatives. Count this too as a yoke on our necks. A girl who is regular in observing hijab finds her self helpless amidst the crowd of unwanted males in the walima .

Our weddings have become places and events that build new walls of complexes between various classes. A middle class man attending a rich man's wedding returns home planning to organise his own sons' wedding in a similar manner but out of his budget What the rich men do lavishly the middle class men do it lavishly within his own circle but beyond his capacity. A Memon refuses to marry a non Memon and so does a Punjabi looks down upon a Bihari, whereas a Sayyed always looks for Sayyed.. Traditions of ignorance which were trampled under his feet by the Prophet peace be upon him are revived by this Ummah in a large number.

No wonder the yokes are back but this time in the form of garlands so that no body finds it a burden....

The Revival of Learning Deen...

The Revival of Learning Deen...

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 11:37pm

For the next fornight I will be participating in Shaikh Asimul Hakeem's workshop on Fiqh. A workshop is different from a plain talk. You can interact and put forth questionns in a workshop. This workshop will record atleast 100 episodes on Fiqh , to be aired on Peace TV later. I love attending workshops though I myself conduct quite a number of it. Among the most memorable workshop I condcuted was " Marriage Preparatory course " for young men. I liked Shaikh Salem al Amry's Workshop too. Now it is Asim al Hakeem. Both the scholars are seniors and speak a common man's language which make their sessions very lively. When ever I attend sessions of scholars I feel as if I am sitting on their lap and learning from them.

When I met Asim al Hakeem last week he squeezed me with his Rambo like arms and shouted affectionately " Nisaar Bhai where are you? I was loooking for you, every where" One of my friend commented, "Shaikh !you should have looked for him on the face Book..." The new crops of scholars are really wonderful in nature, they dont blow any air of stardom. they are friendly. That is how a good teacher should be. While we were having a cup of tea, Asim al Hakim asked me, " How many wives do you have ?" I was little bashful but he continued, " I have two wives and thirteen daughters !" After I knew that he has 13 daughters, my resepct for Asimul Hakeem went higher and higher.

During every workshop I get to learn some wonderful things that I did not know previoiusly. This makes me richer in knowledge. Let me share with you a few things that I have learnt in past two days. A beautiful Hadith regarding tahajjud. When a person wakes up for Tahajjud and recites the Qur'an angels come close to his mouth to catch up the Qur'anic words he is reciting...Shaikh Albani said the Hadith is Sahih. The Shaikh gave us a lesson in fiqh after narrating the hadith, " That is why when ever you wake up for tahajjud you must never miss using miswak...dont just rush to wudho and stand up in Qiyaam...

Shaikh Asim al Hakeem and shaikh salem al Amry speak American shaded English but both have been educated in Arab. It is a great pleasure to hear the Arabs speaking chaste English. When I was in Oman i heard some of the Arab students posing questions to Dr Zakir Naik and they spoke very good English. Their accent was great and their diction too was awesomme. Consider this : More and more Muslims in America are learning Arabic and more and more Arabs are getting used to fantastic English. This narrows the gap between Arabs and Non Arabs.

I am looking forward to learn more fiqh from the workshop as it will be useful for me when I handle question and answer sessions as well. When ever scholars of early times like Imam Bukhari, Ibn Taymiya, visited a city people flocked in thousands to listen hadith and learn fiqh from them. This trend is rising and it is a glad news, because on one hand we have the pain of loosing our lands, our natural wealth, our lives in large numbers and on the other hand we are getting into our days when learning deen was the prime focus of our community. Dr Bilal Philips' Islamic Online University has thousands of students across the world. Th al Maghrib speakes and scholars are in demand . Nauman ali khan's al Bayyana is growing faster. This is the real spring in the Muslim nations .It is the knowledge of religion that will help us in solving our problems and subhanallah we have begun it..

The Diary of a Da'ee : An Unforgettable Moment...

The Diary of a Da'ee : An Unforgettable Moment...

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Monday, November 28, 2011 at 11:07am


  It was Azad Maidan, Mumbai, 2004. Dr Zakir Naik was delivering a talk on Similarities between Hinduism and Islam. The talk was in its last session. I was waiting along with a Senior Volunteer worrying about some unexcpected disturbance frm mishceivous elements who could disturb the entire good program.

   " Excuse me !" We turned back and saw a tall man his fairness shining on his pointed cheeks and sharp nose. He was a uniformed cop perhaps  a " Deputy Commisioner" of this zone. He sretched his hands for a shake and requested " I would like to have a copy of Qur'an in English." We didnt have it at that time so we promised to send it to his office next day.He gave his visit card and I  droppted it in my pocket. He continued his discussion about his  experience in the police and said , " Few years back I was posted by the UN mission in Bosnia...A lot of atrocities by the Serbs..." How was your experience...?" I asked.

    I am always fascinated by adventerous stories in real life, and I  had just read a book on Bosnion agonies, so I thought it was a good opportunity to get it straight from a police officer. But then some one called him and we had to end the conversation. For the next few days I thought of meeting him. His image was like a typical film star. Tall, fair, sharp features and bright eyes and neatly dressed up in his uniform and had lots of things to say about Bosnia..Then next day we despatched the English Translation of the Qur'an. The incident was forgotten, and the man was out of reach.

   Three years back..I was on my way home and received the news of Kasab's misadventure on CST railway station, killing three top Mumbai Police officers, along with scores of other civilians. It was one of the most dangerous nights of Mumbai. Next day onwards we were served the news and pcitures of all the three police officers and one picture struck my attention. "It resembles some one" but I couldnt recollect. Perhaps this man was the same whom we had met at the Azad Maidan. I calle dup my senior volunteer to clarify my doubt and he confirmed it. "Yes He is Ashok Kamte.". Kasab's bullets ran through men. A man who was posted to risk his life saving the innocent Bosnian Muslims now fell to the bullets while saving the other citizens.

    I remembered the place and the incident where we had met for the first and the last time..He died in the by lanes of St. Xaviers's College which was only 50 meters away from the Azad maidan where we had met . What an irony! Two days back it was 26 November and I remembered the short meet with Ashok Kamte..So I thought of sharing it with my readers.

 Who ever kills an innocent person it is as though he has killed an entire humanity..Surah al Maidah...

When Thorns Prick Their Own Flowers : The Betrayel by Medical Frauds

When Thorns Prick Their Own Flowers : The Betrayel by Medical Frauds
by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 5:18pm

    When you are sick your health is suppose to be repaired by the most noble Professionals, Medical Doctors. When you buy a medicine you are buying to regain your health. But what happens when you receive news that there are fake medicines of branded companies and are sold in many places? You fell betrayed. After all thorns are suppsoed to protect the flowers from being plucked. But what happens if the thorns start pricking its own flowers?

     Our Doctors and our Medicine manufacturers are our thorns. They are suppose to save us from being plucked by some diseases. I happened to be a prestigious Hospital of Mumbai, where they had placed a warning in its corridor. There are 5000 fake Drug companies!!! This attention drawing excercise drew me to do a little research on fake medicine and other frauds in medical industry.

   Estimates vary on the number of these drugs made in India. The Indian government says 0.4 percent of the country's drugs are counterfeit and that substandard drugs account for about 8 percent. But independent estimates range from 12 to 25 percent. Experts say the global fake-drug industry, worth about $90 billion, causes the deaths of almost 1 million people a year and is contributing to a rise in drug resistance. WASHINGTON POST 11 Sept 2010..Rama Lakhsmi

   India Today 3 Nov.  2011 reported..They did a sting operation in Meerut and approached a local doctor and bribed him to sell fake medicines. ****Link****

 Even Medical Insurance seems to become almost unannounced compulsion. If you dont have a medical insurance then dare you get sick. Medical insurance has made medical expenses very dear. Keep aside the poor class, even the higher middle class will also find it hard to bear the expenses of sonography,  X-rays, consulting fees, multiple blood reports.....So people now look at some one else to pay their expenses. Enter the Insurance companies. Their advertisment is very alluring, the calculations on the paper is very lucrative...Just pay a little amount and your entire medical expenditure will be covered by the insurance company. 

    NO wonder we see a lot of banks have also jumped into  this business of treating people by scissoring their accounts. Unless they earn a huge profit they will not start an insurance company. No one questions these insurance companies as to what are their sources of income? On what bases do they boast of providing such a huge amount of medical expenditure. No one questions the reasons for fattest salary offered by these companies to their managers and other HODs. How will those people who cannot even afford to buy a medical insurance package afford to meet a sickness? It will be a foolish fantasy to desire a sickless society...wont it?

 I spoke to a doctor friend regarding this and he sighed "What can we do? It is also very expensive to be a doctor these days !" I shot back " Did you pay capitation fees to become a doctor?" He replied  in affirmative. "So you have to get your money back with returns. " That is why perhaps many doctors do not mind being hands in gloves with some insurance companies too. And this has de graded the status of doctors in the society. From "Doctor Saab" to doctor..From saving the lives of lot of people now  a large number of them are just busy in prescribing cough and cold syrups...

Lessons in Islamic Finance from the Story of Prophet Shuaib a.s. and His People...

Lessons in Islamic Finance from the Story of Prophet Shuaib a.s. and His People...

by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 10:20pm

The People of Shuaib a.s. are the only one upon whom there were three types of Punishments. The rest of the destroyed nations perished through one punishment. Noah's people were drowned by flood and so was Pharaoh. The people of Lut a.s. were showered a rain of brimstone,  for the people of Thamud a mighty earthquake was enough.....But there were three azab for the peopleof Midyan, a mighty earthquake (Surah al Ar'af ch 7, verse 91), a huge scream  or  a mighty blast (Surah Hud ch 11 verse 94), and the  third, as per their challenge that  "if Shuaib a.s. was truthful then let a fragment of sky fall upon us" and Allah fulfilled their desire (Surah as Shura ch 26 verse 188-189)

  The sins of the perished nations are described in the same places of the Qur'an where their crimes are mentioned. The people of Shuaib a.s. were dishonest business men and alllso looted people on the highways. They did not give full measure and caused losses to others by fraud, says 181th verse of Surah as Shura. The allegations further says that they did not weigh with even scales and cheated people. 

Financial frauds are a big burden on the society where all the sections get effected. Even today Banks are declaring themselves bankrupts and so do multinational companies. The Airlines, The Banks, The Automobile GM all have lost billion dollars of American taxpayers in last half decade. Shamelessly these companies even demanded governments to bail them out again from the tax payers money ! 

How many Americans remember the great fraud of Enron and how many senior citizens lost their capital and savings? Shareholders lost nearly $11 billion when Enron's stock price, which hit a high of US$90 per share in mid-2000, plummeted to less than $1 by the end of November 2001.Books after books are being published exposing white collar legal robberies around the world.

India topping the list with almost $1500 Billion black money in Swiss Banks. In humour some one once remarked : The capital of Pakistan has always been in Washington but  the captial of India has being shifted from New Delhi to Swiss Banks! In Mumbai financial circle they say : The more number of times you have declared  bankruptcy. the bigger man you are..(because you have not loss the money but eaten up legally).

 The people of Shuaib robbed people, the people of capitalism also rob people but legally, with the help of local laws. The people of Shuaib robbed on highways, the people of Capitalism rob every where from Government offices to Toll centers and also in educational Institutes. The mediclaim has given a license to  many doctors to rob people medically. There are no statistics available on mediclaim but the common man surely finds himself shelling out more money in various unwanted tests.

 No wonder the punishment of Allah is due upon the financial frauders.. as Surah Takasur says : Woe to every slanderer and back biter who amasses wealth and keeps  on counting it . He thinks that his wealth will be for ever?
