The Indian democracy and the Constitution of India seem to be in peril. From time to time, BJP leaders spew communal hatred intentionally against the Muslims. Such hate statements go viral on social media as well as print media; it might be a part of their Hindutva agenda.
The sacrifices made by our Muslim forefathers during pre-Independence India right from Mughal Emperors until the contributions in post-Independence India are much enough to prove their Indian Muslim identity. Truth will always remain Truth. It cannot be ignored or forgotten. In fact, Muslims are the soul of India and will exist until the day of judgement.
Unfortunately, the law-and-order machinery, including CBI, ED, ECI, and the judiciary are no longer independent. They have become something like robots which can be operated by a remote. It is a grave concern for our democracy.
Recently in West Bengal where the names of more than 91 lakh voters have been excluded from the voters list in the backdrop of SIR process and fake voters were included. However, then Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee appeared before the Supreme Court and raised the matter. But, sadly no action against the ECI has been initiated by the apex court. The BJP was fully prepared to win the West Bengal Assembly elections where the entire institutions, especially the Election Commission played a vital role before and after the Assembly elections, favouring the BJP. And the results are before us.
It is high time for people to wake up and raise their voices against the government to protect their Constitutional Rights viz. voting, citizenship, freedom of speech and safety of life to safeguard the Indian democracy and the Constitution.

We are Proud of You
Master Mukkaram Ahmed, a native of Telangana, has secured the state first rank in the Agriculture and Pharmacy stream of the TS EAPCET-2026 (Source: Radiance dated 31-May-06 June 2026 titled: Breaking Barriers: How a Madrasa Student Conquered State Rank 1 in EAPCET)
I congratulate him from the bottom of my heart for his success. He has reached the pinnacle of success by dint of sheer hard work. His case proves that any student can excel in his/her chosen field/ faculty provided he/she works hard.
Dear Master Mukkaram Ahmed, we are proud of you. Well done. Keep it up.
Once again congrats to you, your family members, teachers of your school and all those who have helped you behind the curtain.

Non-Stop Praise for Allah and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
This refers to the letter entitled “Non-stop praise for Prophet Muhammad” by Muhammad Abdus Samad (Radiance, 17-23 May2026) wherein he has dealt with non-stop praise and glory sent to only Prophet Muhammad during Adhan. Actually, when Adhan is given for five-time daily obligatory prayers from every mosque across globe, it first praises and glorifies Allah and then His prophet. What is the important difference between the two is that during Adhan Allah is praised and glorified as the Great and the onlyLord worthy for worship and Prophet Muhammad as His messenger. Besides Adhan, Allah and His Prophet are also repeatedly praised and glorified during prayers and supplications by Muslims. The Prophet himself used to praise and glorify Allah as his only God with his extreme love, humility, veneration and servitude to Him. Prophet Muhammad ﷺis thus praised and glorified next to Allah, theExalted in Islam non-stop.
No other religion lends such praise and glory to its God as Islam does.Veritably, Adhan announces Islam’s basic beliefs and necessity of prayers primarily needed for one’s deliverance in the Hereafter.

Only Islam Can Save Us
It is unfortunate that the West now appears to be leading the way in disregarding the rules-based international order. It acts as it pleases, with little regard for human rights or moral responsibility. We are witnessing thousands of innocent men, women, and children being slaughtered, yet there is no accountability.
It feels as though we are living in a lawless jungle where power prevails over justice. ONLY ISLAM CAN SAVE US.
