A 9-month old baby boy has left doctors baffled in Russia after phrases from the holy Koran began appearing on his skin. These sayings from the Islamic holy book are said to appear on nine-month-old Ali Yakubov's back, arms, legs and stomach, before fading away and being replaced with new sayings. Ali's parents were left stunned when the word Allah appeared on Ali Yakubov's chin soon after his birth. Since then scores of writings in the Arabic script have appeared almost all over his body. Medics have denied that the marks are from someone writing on the child's skin. The kid's mother, Madina Yakubov, said that she and her husband were not religious until the words started appearing on his skin. Ever since the phenomenon started, the boy has become a focus of Muslim homage in his home province of Dagestan, close to war-ravaged Chechnya in the south of Russia. Local MP Akhmedpasha Amiralaev said: "This boy is a pure sign of God. Allah sent him to Dag...

The word Hums denotes extremism, including in the matters of religion. (Lisanul- Arab: Hamasa).It denotes being strict and harsh in religion. Quraish highly glorified he Haram and committed themselves not to leave the Haram on the night of Arafah and used to say: "We are the people of Allah and we shall not go out of the sanctuaryof makkah." Ibn Ishaq said: I do not know whether it was before or after the Year of the Elephant that Quraish invented the idea of Hums and put it into practice. They said : "We are the sons of Ibrahim (as), the people of the holy sanctuary, the guardians of the House and the citizens of makkah. No one else among Arabs has rights like ours or a position like ours. The Arabs recognize none as they recognize us, so do not attach the same importance to lands outside the Sanctuary., for if you do, the Arabs will lose respect for your sacred position and they will say, "They have given the same importance to the land outside the sanctuary ...

He (saw) is master of two worlds. Yet his home was so simple. Neither too small nor lavish, simple is the right term to describe it. Or you can call it Moderate. This home will definitely bring tears to the eyes of those who love the prophet (saw) and his family. The extremist Wahhabi/salafi Saudi ragime has bulldozed this beautiful Islamic heritage and made public toilets in its place.
