What Is Israel? The Truth Behind the Name and the Land Today, many people hear the word “Israel” and think it means a country — a political state occupying the land of Palestine . But this idea is deeply misleading . To know the truth, we must look back — not just to 1948, but to ancient history and Jewish scripture . Only then can we understand what “Israel” really means — and what it does not mean. 🔹 1. Israel Was Never a Land — It Was a Man In the Jewish scriptures (Tanakh) , “Israel” was the name given to a prophet: Jacob , the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham. 📖 Genesis 32:28: “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have prevailed.” So originally, Israel was not a country or a territory — it was the name of a righteous man, the grandson of Prophet Abraham . 🔹 2. Israel Became a People — Not a Nation-State Jacob (Israel) had 12 sons , and from them came the Twelve Tribes of Israel — known as B...

Who Changed the Name of Jesus? Introduction Names matter. They are not just words; they are identity, memory, and honor. When it comes to a historical figure like Jesus, a name becomes even more significant. In this booklet, we explore a deep and often overlooked question: "Who changed the name of Jesus?" And more importantly — why? No one has the right to change a name. No one. 1. The Original Name: Yeshua The man whom Christianity reveres as the Son of God was born in the land of Israel and spoke Aramaic and Hebrew. His original name was Yeshua (יֶשׁוּע), a common Jewish name at the time. In his lifetime, no one called him "Jesus." His family, his followers, and even his opponents knew him as Yeshua . A name is not just a word or a sound. It is a person’s identity. No one has the right to change that. 2. How the Name Changed: Language Evolution The name didn't change overnight or by one person, but it evolved as the message spread across cultures: Hebrew/A...

The Requirement of Slaughtering in the Islamic Manner. Assalamualaykom Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Land animals which are permissible as food are of two kinds. The first consists of those animals which are tame or domesticated, such as camels, cows, goats, poultry, and other fowl which are raised on a farm or in the house, while untamed and wild animals are of the second type. In order to render their flesh halal, Islam requires that animals of the first category be slaughtered in the manner prescribed by Islam. The Conditions of Islamic Slaughtering According to the Shari'ah, the legal purification of the flesh of animals requires that the following conditions be met: 1. The animal should be slaughtered by a sharp object which is capable of making it bleed by severing blood vessels, even if the sharp object is a stone or a piece of wood. 'Adi bin Hatim narrated that he said to the Prophet (peace be on him), "O Messenger of Allah, we go hunting and so...
