A Muslim tries to worship God by following the teachings He has revealed to all of mankind, and worships Him. The feminine form of the word is Muslimah. There are nearly 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today. They are of all different racial and ethnic backgrounds including Arab, Asian, African, African-American, and Caucasian. If you are new to Islam and you would like to discuss about all those topics for example: Knowledge and Religious Experience, Revelations of Religious Experience, Concept of God - Meaning of Prayer, Human Ego- Freedom and Immortality, The Spirit of Muslim Culture, Structure of Islam, Is Religion Possible.

Hence to consider girls (or women) to be inferior to boys (or men) is just like accepting the misconceptions mentioned earlier which have been negated by the Holy Quran. Nevertheless, to consider men superior to women, is against the basic principles of the Holy Quran and negates God's designs. According to the Holy Quran, superiority depends on the individual qualities (developed personality, character, and one's deeds) and not by virtue of birth. In Islam's basic principles, men and women are equal partners. All these ideas of man's superiority are the creation of the "Islam" manufactured during the era of Muslim monarchy, when the women were auctioned off in the markets. The classical books of Muslim jurisprudence are full of rules and regulations about their trade.

We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" Surah Al Anbiyaa verse- 30 It is commonly known among serious scientists and particularly among astronomists that there was a Big Bang at the beginning of the universe. One evidence for it is the fact that the universe is expanding with a steady (or decreasing, or increasing) rate. This has been supported by the data collected by the Hubble Telescope. Edwin Hubble was the very founder of the theory of the expansion of the universe (see "The Birth of Time" by John Gribbin, Weidenfeld & Nicholson, London 1999). Before this Big Bang, all agree, matter must have been concentrated in a hugely dense and solid mass, the size of which nobody knows. Scientists conjecture by estimating density and size of the known universe. They interpret the difference between electromagnetic waves, like the colour of light, that can be measured in distant galaxies. This is the redshift. There must have been a big explosion in the beginning, as shown above.
