Winston Churchill once said, ‘We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.’

Architecture is a wonderful subject. It combines both design and engineering; provides a meeting point for beauty and function. It serves a practical purpose - the building of private spaces - our homes and public spaces - museums, centers, parks and schools. And it provides the artists amongst us with a medium for expressing their creativity with the use of bricks and cement, glass and steel. It gives a platform for our scientists and researchers to further expand the boundaries with the creation of new materials - stronger, lighter, more flexible and more durable to the elements of nature. And it allows the dreamers in our midst with a blank canvas to create pure magic and raise structures that survive generations and bear testimony to the indomitable human spirit.

This month we celebrate architecture. Join us on this unique journey through the past and discover the hidden genius of the civilizations that have lived before us.

A blessed month is here
That will help us know Allah is near
We must approach it with longing not fear
As it is a sign that is so clear
A sign of His love
From the heavens above
Of his caring and concern
If only we could discern
This sign is the Quran
Sent for each woman and man
It is a gift to help us from going adrift
He sent us the Quran
In the month of Ramadan
So let us open the book
and give it more than a minute’s look
It is book to guide
And nothing does it hide
Clear and concise
From the One who is All Wise
So let us aim this Ramadan
To make it the month of the Quran
To read and study
And make it our best buddy

In this month’s cover story we look into the history of the internet. How did we, as a society move in less than 150 years from the telephone and telegram to the internet and email, Facebook and Youtube. We will also look to the future and see what we can expect in the next 10 years and beyond.

This month we ask you to accompany us in learning about a special journey;
in fact; a truly unique journey in the history of mankind. It is a journey that
Allah (SWT) Himself planned for His last messenger - the journey of Isra’ and
Meeraj - a journey through the 7 heavens.

Everything about this journey makes it wondrous and extraordinary the
planner, the traveler, the mode of travel, the guide, the people they
encountered along the way, the sights they saw, the final destination and the
gift that the Prophet (SAW) brought back from this journey - the gift of Salah.

Dear children, the 5 daily prayers,which we often think of as a chore or a job
or a duty was actually given as a gift by Allah (SWT) to the prophet (SAW)
on the seventh heaven itself. How amazing is that? And that’s what Salah
should be for us too - a chance to talk and connect with Allah (SWT) and to
feel His love and closeness to us. When we experience Allah’s love we will
start to enjoy our Salah and treasure this precious gift.
