Accountability of the leaders
There is no such thing as diplomatic immunity or royal immunity in Islam. Everyone is accountable to each other, and even if they get away with acting with impunity in this life, they will be answerable to Allah, just like the rest of us. The only being that is beyond questioning is Allah.
Inconceivable!
There is so much pressure on women to have children, even when they are struggling with conceiving or seeing a pregnancy to full term. Many resort to artificial means, suffering for years and years from surgeries, hormone treatments, ill health etc, just to have one healthy child.

Two components of Islam
Islam is divided into duties to Allah and duties to the creations of Allah.
The first part comprises of things such as salat, Hajj and fasting, which is our religious rituals between us and Allah.
