Sorah Ash-Shams ( The Sun ) - Verses Number 15
وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا ( 1 ) 
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا ( 2 )
By the Moon as she follows him;
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا ( 3 )
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا ( 4 )
By the Night as it conceals it;
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا ( 5 )
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا ( 6 )
By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا ( 7 )
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا ( 8 )
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا ( 9 )
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا ( 10 )
And he fails that corrupts it!
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا ( 11 )
The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا ( 12 )
Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا ( 13 )
But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا ( 14 )
Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا ( 15 )
And for Him is no fear of its consequences.

- The Clear Quranic ExegesisThis book of Tafsir was written according to the approach I mentioned. I wanted to make it easy for the ordinary reader to give the meaning and the concept for each Ayah separately and that is called the analytic method. In which a reader can understand the meaning of the Ayahs and their significance without giving details or being concise with special care for the word, structures and style to promote the language and the culture of the reader. I have concentrated on the expressional side which establishes the meaning and reaches to the heart and mind. In order to achieve this, I used the proper educational and preaching style. This book is also for non-Muslims who want to know the significance of Islam as well as those who want to embrace Islam whether they know Arabic by nature or this book has been translated to him.

- 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).

- Your Day in RamadanThis is a useful book talks about how a fasting Muslim should spend his day in Ramadan. This is regarding deeds by which he abides during his day. No doubt he should be eager to instill the good morals into himself while performing this great rite. He should not forget to ask Allah when he breaks his fasting, for Allah promised that he answers the fasting Muslim’s invocation when he breaks his fast. He should remember that it is highly recommended to perform Qiyam (supererogatory prayers at night) to get his sins forgiven.

- Section on Raising the Hands in the PrayerIn the religion of Islam after declaring the shahadah, the second most important pillar is the Salaah (prayer). Whenever the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to pray, He used to raise both his hands up to his ears or shoulders during the first takbeer, before ruku’ and after ruku, as is proven from the Mutawaatir ahadith. In common language, it is called “Rafa Yadain”.
