     On Muhammad's (saw) source of medical knowledge. Was he taught by al-Harith or did he get his info from Jundishapur? By Shah Saaib Ahmed Rabbani There a few things to be noted. 1. Similarity doesn't mean plagiarism 2. None of Muhammad's (saw) contemporaries ever accused him of being the author of Quran. 3. For someone to say Muhammad (saw) learnt the thing from a particular person he has to provide a proof, A HISTORICAL PROOF. And there exists none. 4. There are scholars who dispute the very existence of such a school of Jundishapur as a major intellectual center. 5. The Jundishapur school persisted under Muslims for years. Its highly unlikely that the link between Muhammad (saw) and this school would have gone un-noticed. 6. The historical evidence for the existence of this learned person is also debatable. You can refer to "The Development of the Biography of al-Harith ibn Kalada and the Relationship between Medicine and Islam". So much is this famous person shrouded in mystery that he has even been believed to have converted to Islam. Now if this case is true, as William Brice argues, then the story of he being Muhammad's (saw) source of knowledge falls on its face. You can refer to two nice essays on this subject. One is written by Khalid al-Khazaraji and Elias Kareem and the name of paper is "Was al-Harith bin Kaladah the Source of the Prophet's Medical Knowledge?." This 12 page essay is availabe online. And other essay you can refer to is written by Hamza Andreas Tzortzis "Did the Prophet Muhammad (saw) Plagiarise Hellenic Embryology?". This paper can be downloaded from IERA's website...See more

     On Muhammad (saw) as a historical figure. By Shah Saaib Ahmed Rabbani To say earliest sources don't mention Nabi Kareen (saw) is a lie. Even oreintalists who always have an axe to grind when it comes to Islam accept this. One such example is Patricia Crone who is the author of the very notorious/aniti-Islamic "Hagarism". Even she accepts that Muhammad (saw) indeed existed. Here are few statements from her (What do we actually know about Muhammad?) "For all that, we probably know more about Mohammed than we do about Jesus (let alone Moses or the Buddha), and we certainly have the potential to know a great deal more." "There is no doubt that Mohammed existed, occasional attempts to deny it notwithstanding. His neighbours in Byzantine Syria got to hear of him within two years of his death at the latest; a Greek text written during the Arab invasion of Syria between 632 and 634 mentions that "a false prophet has appeared among the Saracens"." "If such a revised date is accurate, the evidence of the Greek text would mean that Mohammed is the only founder of a world religion who is attested in a contemporary source. But in any case, this source gives us pretty irrefutable evidence that he was an historical figure. Moreover, an Armenian document probably written shortly after 661 identifies him by name and gives a recognisable account of his monotheist preaching." "On the Islamic side, sources dating from the mid-8th century onwards preserve a document drawn up between Mohammed and the inhabitants of Yathrib, which there are good reasons to accept as broadly authentic; Mohammed is also mentioned by name, and identified as a messenger of God, four times in the Qur'an." "One thing seems clear, however: all the parties in the Qur'an are monotheists worshipping the God of the Biblical tradition" The best book on the subject of muslim history as recorded in non-mUslim sources is that of "Seeing Islam as Others Saw it. Survey and analysis of the Christian, Jewish and Zoroastrian writtings on Islam." The book contains an extensive collection of Greek, Syrian, Coptic, Armenian, Latin, Jewish, Persian, and Chinese primary sources written between 620 and 780 AD in the Middle East, which provides a survey of eyewitness accounts of historical events during the formative period of Islam.

     Women's day special by Saaib Ahmed "Islam, throughout its 1400 year history, has been arguing that men and women are not equal. The main, the basic, and the biggest difference between the current feminist movement and Islamic ideology is that the former argue that men and women are equal while the later argues that they are not. When both the ideologies are viewed under the light of logic and intellect the theory that men and woman are equal falls on its face. Men and women are different due to See More

     "If I am speechless dear India, let you know that silence is my speech. We may be bleeding but we have got enough blood to flood the nation. You might be laughing at the price which we are paying, little do you know that we are asking for a thing that is priceless. Time will come when the nation will rise from this condition of theirs, don't forget every night promised a new day. Boundary is the sky! Muslim hain ham watan hai saara jahan hamara." - Shah Saaib Ahmed Rabbani (March 06, 2013) Share the update in solidarity with the martyrs of Kashmir.
