For Islamic education in India. Assalam u aley kum wa Rahmat Allahu wa Barkathu , Raah e Hidayat Trust started 10 years ago as small institution with the aim of imparting free Islamic education. Many have benefited after  learning Quran and adopted the Islamic lifestyle. “A Book We have sent down to you so that you may bring forth mankind from the darkness into the light......”. (14:1) Raah e Hidayat students  We realized, even weekly Islamic education or Sunday schools does not fully serves the purpose. As a Muslim we are living in the age of darkness with no or very little Islamic education. The Madrasa system in my country India also lacking behind in developing intellectual thinking, development of students capabilities or deep understanding of religion.

How to understand the Quran? To appreciate the Quran fully one must take it up and launch into the task of calling people to God, making it one’s guide at every stage. Then and only then, does one meet the various experiences encountered at the time of its revelation. One experiences the initial rejection of its message, as was done by the city of Makkah. One comes face to face with Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab – (the enemies) as well as with Abu Bakr and Hamza (the friends) of Allah. A man can neither understand the laws, nor the moral teachings, and the economic and political principles of the Quran, unless he tries to implement them in his own life. Hence, the individual who fails to implement this book into personal practice will fail to understand it. As no other religious scripture present today provides a system of governance in the society except the Qurán, it is an only divine book which gives a perfect code of social governance, on individual as well as collective lev...

In whose hands our destiny lies ? WHO IS MASTER OF OUR DESTINY ? All nature proclaims the goodness of Allah. The evidence of His existence is scattered all around us. Not only, He created things in pairs, but created them in the most beautiful contrasts. Look for example at the sun and the moon.The glorious sun is the source of our light during the day, and the moon shines with its splendor during the night. Both form a pair but how different is their lights from each other. The next contrasted pair is not of the lights, but of the conditions resulting due to the absence and presence of light – the day and the night. The day reveals the sun’s glory while the night conceals it from our sight. Both are periods of time but again how different from each other. And then the earth and the sky, one stretching far – far beyond our imagination the other right below our feet. One how far and the other so near. What an astonishing contrast. But the most striking contrast is p...
