Kudos for Highlighting Malagi’s Services

Kudos to Islamic Voice for highlighting the social service rendered by Mohammed Husein Malagi through a string of educational institutions! With old institutions like Anjuman Islam having become a ladder for Muslim politicians to ascend to selfempowerment, Malagi has been striving hard to empower the masses through useful courses and micro-credit. Islamic Voice has always…

Tablighi Jamaat ‘s Work Abroad

This is with reference to the question and answer in the June 2012 issue of Islamic Voice on “New Faction.” As a Tablighi member, I agree with all the comments that, the Tablighi Jamaat is not a new faction and also that they have not invented any new version of Islam. But the question if the same can be effective in Mauritius, Florida or…

Good Progressive Articles

I would like to congratulate the editorial team of Islamic Voice for the progressive articles. A special mention has to be made about the editorials for the last couple of years. I am a regular reader since decades now, and I hope this momentum will continue and your monthly will be able to awaken the sleeping community and help the community to face…

Change will come Sooner or Later

Thank you for your excellent editorial in Islamic Voice, July 2012. (Prisoners of the Past). Change will come because it is inevitable. The only thing permanent in this world is Change. Allama Iqbal says, “subat eik thagayur ko hai zamane mein”. Change will come, but it will not come from the heart of Islam ““ it will come from Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia and hopefully from India.…

Progressive Steps for Welfare

For the past few months, I have been receiving Islamic Voice and have been pleasantly surprised to read about the progressive steps  being taken for the education and economic welfare of the Muslims of India. It is also heartening to read about the success of Muslim candidates in the competitive exams. There is no doubt that the presence of senior Muslim…

Lowering the Gaze

This is with reference to the question and answer section in the June 2012 issue of Islamic Voice. In a reply to a question about where one  should look during salaat, one of the options given is to look at the Imam. The Quran instructs us to lower our gaze in public. I am of the  view that this can…

An Appeal to Human Rights Organisations

The cold-blooded murder of Qateel Siddiqui in Pune’s Yarvada high security jail recently, is yet another proof that the life of a Muslim  is no longer safe in India even behind the walls of a high security jail. This cold-blooded murder comes in quick succession after a  number of cases where security agencies’ high-handedness in dealing with Muslim youth on flimsy charges and…

Good Piece on Cupping

I was happy to read an article on Cupping in Islamic Voice. Cupping is the best remedy recommended and used by the Prophet (Pbuh).  The Messenger said, “Indeed the best of remedies you have is cupping (hijama). (Sahih al-Bukhari (5371) . This shows the importance of  this Sunnah. Abdul Rahiman Chaithotam, Bangalore
