		<description><![CDATA[The 3rd of March is a painful day in political history of Muslim world. It was on this date in the fateful year of 1924 CE 28th Rajab 1342AH}, that the last vestige of legitimate Islamic rule was destroyed. The office of Caliphate was abolished by the treacherous Mustafa Kamal and the Muslim Ummah has since then been plunged in to darkness and humiliation. Ottoman Caliphate came to an end as the 101st Khaleefah of Islam, Abdul Mejid II was exiled from the now secular Republic of Turkey with just a suitcase and little amount of money.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aatifsyedwani.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6356147&amp;post=176&amp;subd=aatifsyedwani&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best-selling poet in America today could never have known that someday there would be such a thing as America. Born over eight centuries ago in what is now Afghanistan, Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, a Sufi mystic, has traversed some rather astonishing cultural and temporal boundaries to become one of the most improbable leaders in American letters. A study of Rumi's success, however, would not be complete without exploring the relationship between the poet and his most popular translator, Coleman Barks. On the spiritual and textual plane in which Rumi and Barks encounter one another, we find not a clash, but a fusion of civilizations, out of which has emerged a 13th-century Sufi devotee who is devastatingly fluent in postmodern American English.

		<description><![CDATA[Judaism Christianity, and Islam, in contrast to Hinduism and Buddhism, are all monotheistic faiths that worship the God of Adam, Abraham, and Moses-creator, sustainer, and lord of the universe. They share a common belief in the oneness of God (monotheism), sacred history (history as the theater of God's activity and the encounter of God and humankind), prophets and divine revelation, angels, and Satan. All stress moral responsibility and accountability, Judgment Day, and eternal reward and punishment. All three faiths emphasize their special covenant with God, for Judaism through Moses, Christianity through Jesus, and Islam through Muhammad<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aatifsyedwani.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6356147&amp;post=3&amp;subd=aatifsyedwani&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
