The latest issue of Al-Karam Quarterly (Issue 24) features, as its cover article, the lecture delivered by Shaykh Pirzada entitled, “Could Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Read? In light of the first divine revelation of the Qur’an.” The article is the first part of Shaykh Pirzada’s lecture in which he analyses the issue of the noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) not reciting at the advent of the first divine revelation and analyses extensively the phrase ma ana bi qari’in uttered by the noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Other articles in the January-March issue include “Milad; The Final Chapter” taken from the renowned Diya’ al-Nabi by Diya’ al-Ummat, Justice Shaykh Muhammad Karam Shah al-Azhari (d. 1419 AH). In it, the respected Shaykh elucidates the fallacy of some claimants of knowledge concerning the celebratory gathering. In “Muslim Faith School tops the Notts League Table” Imran Hussain reports on the success of Al-Karam Secondary School in its GCSE results of 2006. “Why Muslims follow Madhabs?” by Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller is also included in the issue. The respected Shaykh extensively highlights the reasons and necessity for Muslims in following a madhab, the essay is developed from a series of lectures delivered by the respected Shaykh in the UK during January 1995.
