This edition would dwell briefly on keeping on track and remaining focus on the path of Islam. There is no gain-saying the fact that contemporary society is overwhelmed with distractions which bother on life attainments. To a large extent, it erodes the core human values particularly the aspects that deal with relationship with the Creator - Allah ( SWT). The Glorious Qur'an 41:30 and several other verses in the Qur'an bear on steadfastness. "Surely, those who say our Lord is Allah and are steadfast would neither be grieved nor be afraid afterwards; they are those on whom Angels descend that they should not be afraid." These verses assure Believers of sustenance hinged on proviso of complete reliance and depending on Allah to the discredit of other principalitie

He said: "You surely cannot get the best interpretation of the glorious Qur'an, no matter how you struggle to do so, just that events in periods of time is capable of spelling it better." This statement prides higher in the hand

The point of emphasis in such narrative remains a reminiscence over unity of humanity and essence of piety in Allah. The contemporary world's recognition of female values in the society would be a further step to the values given to women in the Glorious Qur'an. This is not only evident in giving Suratu n Nisa'i (Chapter of Women) but also giving them fair treatment across board including a war situation. Granted that Arabs before Islam were predisposed to treating women unfairly. This culminated in relegation of female elements to lower status in the social strata, complete denial of share of inheritance and being considered as part of estate to be shared, and worse-still, burying female child alive at the point of delivery (female infanticide). These and other recent practices in the contemp
