Iman
To have faith and trust in Allah and consider
oneself:-
A follower of none but Allah.
And a follower of none but his
messenger.
The concept of “no deity except Allah” is always
alive in the Muslim’s heart. A Muslim recognizes that Allah alone is the
Creator; their He alone is the Provider and Sustainer that He is the true
Reality, the source of all things of all benefits and harms. This requires
that He alone be worshiped and obeyed. “No deity except Allah” also
includes the question of authority as the right to govern belongs to the
One Who created him.
Belief in Allah’s messenger means accepting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
as the last messenger sent by Him. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the
spokesman for God by His authority. The duty of Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) was not only to deliver the message which Allah revealed but
also to explain it and put it into practice as an example to be followed by
mankind.

Taqwa
Taqwa signifies:-

The fear of Allah.

Motto of Pakistan Army http://www.pakistanarmy.gov.pk/AWPReview/TextContent.aspx?pId=17

Guarding ones
tongue, hands and
heart from evil.
Righteous, piety and
good conduct.

Taqwa connotes the sense

of protecting oneself from
moral peril, preserving one’s
virtue, and guarding oneself
against the displeasure of
Almighty. It is, thus, a kind
of awareness or consciousness by means of which one protects oneself
from sliding into evil.

Jihad-fi-Sabilillah

The real objective of Islam is to shift the lordship of man over man to the
lordship of Allah on the earth and to stake one's life and everything else
to achieve this sacred purpose. The Arabic word “Jihad” means to
struggle “or” to strive. In as much as “Jihad” is a struggle, it is a struggle
against all that is perceived as evil in the cause of that which is perceived
good, a cosmic and epic struggle spanning time and all dimensions of
human thought and action, and transcending the physical universe. The
Islamic Law regulates declaration of Jihad as also the limitations are
imposed on its conduct. In Chapter II verse 190 of The Holy Quran the
reference to the duty of the Muslims to “fight in the cause of God those
who fight you and be not aggressors. God loveth not those who are
aggressors”.

The Muslims when they are engaged in fighting are not to transgress the
limits within which war is allowed to be waged and, in principle, they are
not to be cruel or become revengeful. The general command to be just
and fair is discernible from Chapter V. Verse 8:
Hilal September 2010 Urdu

Hilal September 2010 English

Press Review - August 2010 Oh, ye who believe

stand out firmly for God as witness
To fair dealings,
And let not the hatred of other people to you
make you swerve to wrong and depart from
justice.
Be just, that is next to piety. And fear God,
Surely, Allah is aware of what you do
