We believe that a true and comprehensive
understanding of Islam would not be possible without careful recognition of the
Prophetic Tradition and the Prophet's Household. And Allah is the Source of Strength.
Want To See A Miracle In Your Life?
" Man is always fascinated by magic, or something magical. This fascination is not because magic is fancy, but because man is easily conquered by anything he cannot explain with the power of his intellect.
It is for this reason that the people always demanded Prophets to show them miracles to prove their truthfulness. They maybe disbelievers, but they realized that something unexplainable can only be executed by a higher power.
It was their cunningness that they wanted to see something unbelievable and unexplainable to believe in the message of the Prophets. It was their blindness that they failed to see something unbelievable and unexplainable in their lives which was right there for them to see.
Do you want to see a miracle in your life?
Mawla Ali (AS) said, that Man is a wonderful creature; he sees through the layers of fat (eyes), hears through a bone (ears) and speaks through a lump of flesh (tongue). Is this man short of a miracle himself? Can man explain how a lump of flesh can speak?
If man is nothing short of a miracle, then survival of this life is something very astonishing as well. On average;
-
1.3 million earthquakes occur around the globe every year
-
Lightning strikes the earth 8.6 million times a day.
-
the annual number of cyclones exceed 87 and 2800 for tornados.
-
78000 tons of space material falls on earth every year
-
9 million people die of hunger every year
-
1.8 million people die every year due to unclean water
-
There are 6.4 million car accidents in the USA alone every year. A rough global estimate would be somewhere in the region of 18 million per year.
-
33 million suffer from HIV and more than 2.5 million suffer from cancer.
-
More than 400 "Major" terrorist attacks occur each year
Number of armed robberies and fatal street crimes are uncountable. There are more than a million ways for a person to die or to be killed for no apparent reason. The house can catch fire or collapse, the air plane may crash, dangerous animals may attack you, you may suffer a drug overdose, the kitchen gas pipeline can explode and there is electricity every where to electrocute you. There are more ways for a person to die, than to survive.
Despite all odds, we come back safe from work, wake up every morning and live our lives, surviving the death traps. The fact is, we do not survive the death traps, Allah gives us life by protecting us from all that is out there to get us, until he wills.
Want to see a miracle in your life? Look into the mirror, and praise the creator for giving you a chance to enjoy the blessings of this life, for giving you one more day to see the sun rise. We are a miracle, and so is our survival. "
