Bismillah

"If you help him (Muhammad) not (it does not matter), for Allah did indeed help him when the disbelievers drove him out, the second of two, when they (Muhammad and Abu Bakr) were in the cave, and he said to his companion (Abu Bakr): "Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us." Then Allah sent down His Sakeenah (calmness, tranquillity, peace, etc.) upon him, and strengthened him with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowermost, while it was the Word of Allah that became the uppermost, and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise."(Quran 9:40)

At this time every year, one keeps pondering about this significant incident of Hira, one must and should continue pondering, reflecting, learning and digesting. As it encompasses endless aspects that are of paramount importance to our lives as Muslims, only if we take heed!

RIYADH: US Secretary of State John Kerry said it was up to Saudi Arabia to decide when the time was right to allow women to drive.

"It's no secret that in the United States of America, we embrace equality for everybody regardless of gender, race, or any other qualification," Kerry said at a press conference in Riyadh.

"But it's up to Saudi Arabia to make its own decision about its own social structure and other choices, and timing," he added.

Last week, the United States said it supports the "universal rights" of women to drive in Saudi Arabia, after an October weekend protest there saw several women defy the law by taking the steering wheel.

"We support the full inclusion of women in Saudi society. People throughout the world share the same universal rights to assemble and express themselves peacefully," said State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki.

"So certainly, we would support their ability to drive," Psaki said when asked about the Saudi campaign, in which women were encouraged to get behind the steering wheel on October 26 even if it meant confronting authorities.

Kerry said after talks with Saudi leaders: "There's a healthy debate in Saudi Arabia about this issue, but I think that debate is best left to the Saudi Arabian people who are engaged in it."

However, he added that everyone knew where the United States stood on this issue.

At least 16 women were stopped by police during a protest last month and were fined and forced along with their male guardians to pledge to obey the conservative-kingdom's laws.

A Saudi video mocking the kingdom's unique ban on female driving has gone viral, featuring a male performer singing "no woman, no drive", an adaptation of Bob Marley's "No Cry" hit.

Assalam alaikum,

Trinity, that central concept in Christianity is not, after all, an originally Christian belief. It was imposed on Christianity by an Emperor!!

The Late Sheikh Ahmad Deedat educated us on what the Bible actually said about the Last Prophet to be sent by God Almighty to Mankind, Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless and greet him.

Find hereby attached some presentation on both issues raised above for your perusal. A Christian Member of the Forum is particularly invited to objectively go over both submissions, who knows? a reconsideration of aged held views may occur.

Regards.
