The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "I leave among you two precious and weighty trusts, one being the Book of Allah and the other my Progeny (Ahlul Bayt). These two legacies will never be separated from each other, and if you lay firm hold of them you will never go astray." [Hadith-e-Saqlain]

Since, Islam has offered humanity the most comprehensive value system for all aspects of life, the explanation of this system is of the greatest importance. We believe that Islam can meet all the spiritual and material needs of humanity. Islam presents its laws and principles as a mixture of spiritual and intellectual guidelines. Moreover, the harmony of Islam with human nature helps with the spread of Islam. Now our duty and mission is to present the noble and pure Islam, as it was revealed by Allah to His Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). We believe that a true and comprehensive understanding of Islam would not be possible without careful recognition of the Prophetic tradition and the Prophet's household. Nowadays, Muslims are being awakened throughout the world to their true identity. This awakening marks a new epoch in which on unprecedented search for understanding of Islam is taking place by means of which Muslims are attempting to solve their individual, social, spiritual and material problems within the life-giving teachings and doctrines of Islam. Indifference or negligence with regard to the Prophet's tradition is, in fact, negligence of the Glorious Qur'an, for the Glorious Qur'an confirms for Muslims all the words and acts of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The Glorious Qur'an also has recounted traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as one of the original sources for the deduction of Islamic prescripts and laws. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in a widely reported authentic tradition says: "O People, I leave among you two precious and weighty trusts, one being the Book of Allah and the other my Progeny (Ahlul Bayt). These two legacies will never be separated from each other, and if you lay firm hold of them you will never go astray." [Hadith-e-Saqlain]

Therefore:

1. The Infallible Imams relate all their traditions from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

2. According to the Prophet's statements, the only way to salvation in the world is the obedience to the Glorious Qur'an and the Prophet's household (Ahlul Bayt). [Hadith-e-Saqlain]

Akramulla Syed from Amruthur, India is born in the year 1969 in a Sunni family. Moved to Bangalore, India in 1984 for higher education and completed Bachelor in Electrical Engineering in 1991.

Immigrated to Canada in 1996 and realized the need of a very comprehensive Islamic website, because with the vast amount of information on the Internet, it's easy to come across incorrect information about Islam and Muslims. Particularly in today's world, misconceptions about our faith are rampant. Hence, laid the foundation of this Islamic Occasions website in 1998 with only few articles. Since then it is a continuous process of addition of different sections, to fulfill the needs of different sections of the worldwide community. Today islamicoccasions.com is grown to be one of the best Islamic website available online, serving almost 10,000 unique visitors every day from different parts of world community.

We hope to bring you original articles and links to quality information that convey the truth and spirit of Islam, because we believe, Islam - as an integral part of life or Islam is beyond rituals.

When a stone is dropped into a glass of water it descends to the bottom and settles to one side. It is in the water but separate from it. On the other hand, if dye is put into the same glass, the dye and water combine. Now the water is not separate from the dye. Both have intermingled in such a way that no one can detect any differences between the two.

The relationship between Islam and a person should be like that of dye and water, not of stone and water. Islam should not just be an accessory to a Muslim's life: it should merge with his whole being. It should become the throb of his heart as it permeates his emotions. It should enter into his thoughts, molding his intellect in its own fashion. Islam should become the eye with which he sees, the tongue with which he speaks, the hands and feet with which he performs his day-today functions. Islam should take possession of a person that it excludes all else. Every statement should bear the stamp of Islam and every action should be dyed in Islamic colors.

If Islam is like a stone in water, than it is not Islam at all. Faith should be absorbed in a person like dye dissolved in water. Just as the emotions of love and hate are felt by the whole body so, when one adopts Islam in the real sense of the world, it should become an issue affecting one's whole existence. The Muslim and Islam should become inseparably attached.

Warning: And do not follow (blindly) that of which you have not the knowledge; surely the hearing and the sight and the heart, all of these, (in the Court of your Lord) shall be questioned about that. (Glorious Qur'an 17:36)

Islam is a religion still unknown to most non-Muslims. Internet is a very effective means of giving a correct and positive picture of Islam. Many people have taken up this opportunity of propagating Islam and have set off in making web sites and utilizing their time and channelising their efforts in a rightful manner.

One of the sites, which I came to learn about through the person running it, is the one you are visiting at the moment. It has all the basic requirements; one may need in acquiring his Islamic knowledge. Nevertheless, it needs more work doing and I see Brother Akramulla dedicated enough in achieving it all. May Allah hasten in the reappearance of the Twelveth Imam (A.S.) and accept all of our good deeds, like this one.
