The Night, the Day, and the Order of Things

Long ago—before steel cities rose and before men thought they ruled the earth—there lived a boy named Idris in a quiet valley nestled between mountains and meadows. One evening, as twilight softened the edges of the world, Idris sat beside his grandfather near the warmth of a flickering lantern. The hush of night settled upon

Carrying the Torch: Upholding the Mission of the Middle Nation

In the Qur’an, the Muslim community is described as a “Middle Nation” (Ummatan Wasatan)—not merely a cultural or geographic identity, but a role charged with eternal responsibility.

The Middle Nation: A Divine Continuation of Monotheism

Throughout human history, God has guided humanity through prophets and messengers. Before the time of Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim, peace be upon him), divine guidance was decentralized—prophets were sent to different corners of the world, to each tribe or nation, suited to their context, language, and societal development.
