Qur’an: A Living Miracle in Mortal Human Hands
Expand Excerpt >>
The fact that 1400 years ago this book should declare men and women equal in rights and rewards is a miracle. The fact that this book should have a chapter called “The Women” and another chapter called “The People” and yet another chapter called “The Pen” is a miracle.
The fact that this book is still in exactly the same shape and form in which it was originally delivered 1400 years ago is a miracle. The fact that this book has a chapter called “Maryam” – Mary, the blessed mother of Jesus, God bless him – is a miracle. The fact that this book most eloquently and powerfully defends the virgin birth of Jesus, God bless him, is a miracle.

Statement of Purpose: Dr. Pasha’s International Qur’an Program
Expand Excerpt >>
“If you are a Muslim, it is your duty to take the Qur’an to every home and heart that needs it — and which one does not.
But if you are not a Muslim, shouldn’t you try to find out what the Qur’an is all about and why there is so much fuss about it in the world today?
Pick up a copy of the Qur’an translation, read it and find out for yourself!” (Dr. Pasha)

Discover the Qur’an – A Reality Check
Expand Excerpt >>
The Qur’an says think logically. And think incrementally. Approach this problem like you would approach most problems in life.
First of all, decide if the universe had a creator what would he be like? He would be most powerful and most capable, would he not? Well, you have taken the first step to knowing God – and to meeting him.
That is right, to meeting him. For, that is where you are headed – to meet with your maker and master. Did you know you have an appointment with him – and the hour is approaching fast?

Are Elections Haram? Says Who? And Based on What? Part 1
Expand Excerpt >>
Waa Islaamaah!
That is what I say: Waa Islaamaah!
It is a distress cry – about the condition of Islam today. Poor, poor Islam! That is what it means: Waa Islaamaah!
And I will tell you why I am crying Waa Islaamaah!
It is a cry of deep distress and anguish, of the soul and mind, at the sad condition in which the most glorious system sent down by God to save humanity finds itself at the hands of its followers, and others, today – so many of whom deign, and dare, to speak in its behalf, no matter how little they may know or understand it.
Or how little they may understand the world in which Islam operates. And no matter how inadequately prepared and equipped they may be to do so.
Not so long ago, I was shown a Fatwa declaring elections to be Haram. It was in UK, I think. I call it a rejectionist, isolationist Fatwa.
But at bottom it may also be an un-Islamic one. For, elections and the fundamental right of choice they represent, is the way of life in Islam – the system God Almighty designed to run his world and which he then sent down at the hands of his messengers and prophets to guide, direct and organize human life on earth.
By seeking to keep Muslims from voting and from elections, this Fatwa rejects participation of Muslims in the political process in the West. And it seeks to isolate them from life around them – reducing Muslims and their communities to small, ineffective, marginalized, disfranchised ghettoes.
Anyone can see that it is a rejectionist, isolationist Fatwa. If some of you are shocked by this Fatwa, so was I. The logic behind the Fatwa was, I take it, if there was any logic to it at all, that elections were a Kafir concoction, opposed to the pure divine way of doing things in Islam – whatever that meant.
I am trying to reconstruct the argument here as best as I can. And then see if it holds any water. [...]
