1987 3 March 28 LETTERS (239) It was the first time that I came across such a nice reading of Quranic interpretations in this language. What is very unfortunate is that such an excellent treatise on religious issues has not reached the masses in general. At least the enlightened and educated modern muslims should certainly read this qualitative magazine of yours. May God help you in all the walks for the publication of this nice magazine! (Ameen)

It was a great delight to read two issues (33&36) of AL-RISALA. The size does not restrict the contents. The editoral (36), ‘Is this Islam’ is very timely and reasonable and also speaks of a modern, truthful and sympathetic mind so much required today.

I am a regular reader of AL-RISALA. I go through it with great interest. It is a magazine to make the Muslims more enlightened.

For the last 10 months I have been reading AL-RISALA English and Urdu. I found very much interest in these two magazines. When I start reading, I finish it only in 30 minutes. What the topics are! May God continue to bless you in this work which is very useful for the new as well as for old generation.
Your topics on Islam and all other topics in AL-RISALA will help people very much in their motto. I made it very popular among my friends.

A Chance brought me in touch with the July 86 issue of AL-RISALA. The idea of spreading the word of the Prophet is unexceptionable for all great teachers have pointed to the path of good and righteous living and it is enriching to acquaint oneself with their teachings. Looked at from this perspective you are rendering a yeoman’s service. The selection of material is catholic and the presentation excellent.

The Prophet did not allow his hand to be kissed
1987 3 March 28 The Prophet did not allow his hand to be kissed (59) The Prophet bought some cloth from a shopkeeper. The transaction completed, the Prophet got up to leave. The shopkeeper made as if to kiss the Prophet’s hand, but the Prophet immediately put his hand behind his back and said: “This is what Asian people do with their kings. I am not a king; I am just one of you.”
The best charity is that which is given to the weakest person
1987 3 March 28 The best charity is that which is given to the weakest person (53) Suraqah ibn Malik says that the Prophet once asked him: “Shall I tell you what the greatest charity is?” “Please do,” Suraqah replied. Then the Prophet said: “It is to spend upon a daughter who – after being widowed or divorced – is returned to you, and has no other source of support but yourself.”
