Its over 1400 years after the Revelation was sent down to our beloved Prophet. Islam became the solution to the problems in the days of Jahiliyyah, was the solution throughout, and still remain as the only perfect solution today and in the future. It is a deen that does not need reformation.

"Right and wrong are eternal. Definitions of good and evil have to be constant. Otherwise they will lose all meaning. In a world of shifting standards of good, there is no good. It is a great blessing for humanity that Islam provides that constant."

An excerpt from Khalid Baig's First Things First

Morning light through the bedroom window
Slow motion dust specks swirling in the sun
I close my eyes
And I'm floating along
Sun did you warm the face of the Prophet the way you warmed mine
And make this room glow?
Dust were you brushed from the beard of the Prophet
Returning from Jihad so long ago?

Chorus
Allahumma salli ala Muhammad Ya Rabbal aalameen
Allahumma salli ala Muhammad, Salallahu alayhi wasallam

Rain pouring down upon my garden
Rhythm for the wind that sings his song
I close my eyes
And I'm drumming a song
Rhythm of rain were you once a river
That purified the Prophet before his prayers?
Wind were you the breath from the lips of the Prophet
Carrying wisdom to thirsty ears?

Chorus
Sharp clear crescent lighting the blue night
Slipping in silence through the star scattered sky
I close my eyes
And I know that I belong
Were you the same moon that lit the way of the Prophet
Slipping through the desert on his hijra?
Stars did you map the way to Madina
For the blessed messenger of Allah?

Chorus
And I close my eyes
And I'm floating along
And I close my eyes
And I'm drumming a song
And I close my eyes
And I know that I belong
