The reasons for Jewish philanthropy are well outside the scope of this piece, but perhaps one of the reasons is that Jews recognized, after centuries of persecution, that one of the most important bulwarks that they have against a repeat of past atrocities Yup. In fact, we have just finished

Can someone enlighten me about the Inheritance law in Islam.? From my knowledge of the Qur'an, this law is really very limited and is applicable ONLY to those cases where the will/testament was not written--which would be violation of Allah's injunction anyway. The Qur'an makes it clear--not

The Qur'an does not even mention Music, let alone explain it. Now Mullah Bilal Philips is going to explain to us what Allah forgot to mention and explain La'anat-ullahi alal Kaazibeen. No wonder the Ummah is going down the tubes--just look at the intellectual bankruptcy of its ulema.
