If anyone is a betting man, he knows that most of the time he will lose; it is a question of numbers. Winning every time is improbable and practically impossible. When flipping a coin, you have one chance out of two of getting it right. 50%, not bad; but repeat it...
As we have mentioned previously, if you want to prove something wrong, all you need to find is a contradiction. This is applied so rigorously when it comes to faith and Allah (and rightfully so); however, this criterion takes a backseat when it comes to “man-made...
Unfortunately, many Muslims have the misconception that the Quran contains all knowledge. This is something that is impossible for two reasons. One, the Quran is limited in its format (about 600 pages); and two, the knowledge of Allah is limitless, He is the...
When I mean bad, I mean something that everyone will agree to as fundamentally wrong. I don’t mean what is acceptable to modern standards, but fundamentally evil. Not only there is no evil within what is ordained, but it can only be depicted as righteous and good when...
A lot of people have asked themselves this question, including myself. And that is one of the hardest questions to answer. Because Allah is able to guide who he wants. He mentions this himself in the Quran: Those who associated with Allah will say, "If Allah had...
Another reason why people don’t believe in the message that the prophet Muhammad (or any other messenger for that matter) was sent with, is that he was a man. And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allah; you have no deity other than...

The nice thing about bedtime stories is that they are a fiction of our imagination. So, I would like to share one with you; and please, get your pillow ready, your teddy and read it before going to sleep. Once upon this same Earth, beneath this same sun, long before...
You know how Google has its daily doodle… Well, for no good reason, I was browsing through them, and April Fools popped up. So, as I was looking into the origins of this day, Atheist Day came up (I can’t believe that I didn’t have this date circled on my calendar)....
Ayat Al-Kursy is the 255th Ayat in the longest Surah (Al-Baqara, the Cow) and is also the only place that Kursy is mentioned in the Quran. Kursy is often translated as chair or throne; but it is more like a “tabouret”, a kind of stool, a pouf. It is also known as the...
