Sorah Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Verses Number 21
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ( 1 ) 
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ( 2 )
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 3 )
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ( 4 )
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ( 5 )
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 6 )
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 7 )
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 9 )
And gives the lie to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ( 10 )
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ( 11 )
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ( 12 )
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 13 )
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ( 14 )
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ( 15 )
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 16 )
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ( 17 )
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ( 18 )
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ( 19 )
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 20 )
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ( 21 )
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.

- Religious Freedom in Saudi ArabiaThe annual Religious Freedom Reports released by US State Department often include sections about religious freedom in Saudi Arabia. These reports are officially distributed by the State Department and then circulated amongst the centers of research in the West as well as the international media outlets and other channels. Saudi Arabia comes on top of concern of those involved in these reports, due to its religious and political significance. Accordingly, it becomes incumbent on us, as Saudis, to discuss the sections in these reports which cover religious freedom in our country and provide facts that are not included in these reports. While discussing these reports, we should explain to the world our view point vis-à-vis these reports. We should also allow the reader to discover the truth as stated therein and according to criteria upon which many fair-minded, rational people agreed with us.

- Stories of New MuslimsThis book is published on the shoulders of those people who have volunteered their personal stories of how they entered Islam. If you, the reader, are open to the possibility that Allah, the Creator, has given you clear evidence to accept Him and His message of Islam, then read these stories. From different backgrounds, and different experiences, you just might find someone here who had the same questions and doubts that you may have. Many of these people have endured against tremendous obstacles, including parental opposition, despair with other religions, being blind, and being lied to about the true nature of Islam.

- Knowledge Mandates ActionIqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal By Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee. This is the second book in the "Classical Knowledge Series", which is a collection of selected scholarly works from the past that deal with the subject of religious knowledge. The first book in this blessed series was “The Book of Knowledge” written by Imaam Abu Khaithamah Zuhayr bin Harb An-Nasaa’ee (Died 234H), may Allah have mercy on him. Since that book served as an introduction to knowledge, its virtues, merits and manners, it seemed proper that the second book be dedicated to the next level of knowledge, which is its result and outcome, and that is righteous deeds. And what better work to present on this subject than the classic and well-known treatise of the distinguished Imaam, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee, 'Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal' (Knowledge Mandates Action).
