Sorah Adh-Dhariyat ( The Wind that Scatter ) - Verses Number 60
وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا ( 1 ) 
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast;
فَالْحَامِلَاتِ وِقْرًا ( 2 )
And those that lift and bear away heavy weights;
فَالْجَارِيَاتِ يُسْرًا ( 3 )
And those that flow with ease and gentleness;
فَالْمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا ( 4 )
And those that distribute and apportion by Command;-
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ ( 5 )
Verily that which ye are promised is true;
وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَاقِعٌ ( 6 )
And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ ( 7 )
By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ ( 8 )
Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,
يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ( 9 )
Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.
قُتِلَ الْخَرَّاصُونَ ( 10 )
Woe to the falsehood-mongers,-
الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ ( 11 )
Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
يَسْأَلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ ( 12 )
They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"
يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ ( 13 )
(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!
ذُوقُوا فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ( 14 )
"Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 15 )
As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,
آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ ( 16 )
Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.
كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ ( 17 )
They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,
وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ( 18 )
And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;
وَفِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ ( 19 )
And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).
وَفِي الْأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ ( 20 )
On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,
وَفِي أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ( 21 )
As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?
وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ( 22 )
And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.
فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ( 23 )
Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ ( 24 )
Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?
إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَامٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ ( 25 )
Behold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people."
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ فَجَاءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ ( 26 )
Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf,
فَقَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ( 27 )
And placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat?"
فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ ( 28 )

They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge."
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ ( 31 )
(Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"
قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ ( 32 )
They said, "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin;-
لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ ( 33 )
"To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone),
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ ( 34 )
"Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."
فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( 35 )
Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there,
فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ( 36 )
But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:
وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ ( 37 )
And We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty.

And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ ( 42 )
It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.

Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ ( 54 )
So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.
وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( 55 )

- Knowledge Mandates ActionIqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal By Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee. This is the second book in the "Classical Knowledge Series", which is a collection of selected scholarly works from the past that deal with the subject of religious knowledge. The first book in this blessed series was “The Book of Knowledge” written by Imaam Abu Khaithamah Zuhayr bin Harb An-Nasaa’ee (Died 234H), may Allah have mercy on him. Since that book served as an introduction to knowledge, its virtues, merits and manners, it seemed proper that the second book be dedicated to the next level of knowledge, which is its result and outcome, and that is righteous deeds. And what better work to present on this subject than the classic and well-known treatise of the distinguished Imaam, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee, 'Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal' (Knowledge Mandates Action).

- Evolution of FiqhThe author says in the introduction of the second edition, “The overall purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the historical factors behind the formulation of Islamic law (Fiqh), in order that he or she may better understand how and why the various schools of Islamic law (Madh-habs) came about. It is hoped that this understanding will in turn, provide a basis for overcoming the petty differences and divisions which occur when present-day followers of different schools of people without definite schools try to work together. Thus, another aim of this book is to provide a theoretical framework for the reunification of the Madhhabs and an ideological basis for Islamic community work free from the divisive effects of Madh-hab factionalism.” The book consists of six chapters: foundation, establishment, building, flowing, consolidation, and stagnation and decline.
