Comments on “New Atheism: The Godlessness That Failed”
Excellent article that I recommend reading in its entirety. Of particular importance is this take-a-away:
“I think it [New Atheism] seamlessly merged into the modern social justice movement.
On the New LGBTQ Law
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In a certain way, this new law to impose *cough* I mean protect LGBTQ from discrimination actually makes sense. You see, LGBTQ is a *deen* people, it is a way of life. It is a religion. And because the US constitution has been interpreted as saying that freedom of religion implies there is no difference between following Christianity and Satanism, so too it follows that there is no difference between following Christianity and Postmodernism (a polytheistic religion under which LGBTQ is just one form.)
How to Respond to the “Muslims are Obsessed with Sex” Argument
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I’m sure you’ve all encountered this argument before. Recently, the British government made the accusation that the hijab sexualises and objectifies young women (this was made in objection to Islamic schools mandating hijab at the age of nine). This argument seems to be pervasive in Western literature, and many ex-Muslims also make similar claims. I believe the general attitude can be summarized in this meme recently posted on Facebook by an atheist page:
Beliefs That Do Not Make Sense: Salvation in Protestant Christianity
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
If God is All-Loving, and we are saved through grace without the condition of good works, why is it that there is the requirement of faith at all, according to Protestant Christianity? In other words, why do I need to believe in Jesus to be saved? According to Christianity, Jesus died for all mankind’s sins – so what difference does it make if I commit one more sin by denying Jesus, or even God altogether? Why can’t I be saved with neither faith nor good works?

Some people requested that I turn my blog posts into a video, so here it is. The rest of the blog post series will be coming soon, but you can get the main points by watching this video.
Daniel Haqiqatjou vs Apostate Ridwaan Debate Review (Part 1)
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the next few posts, I will be reviewing select portions of the four and a half hour live stream discussion that took place between Daniel Haqiqatjou and the apostate Ridwaan. In particular, I will be reviewing those parts of the debate where additional arguments that Daniel could have advanced occurred to my mind, and I thought it would worthwhile to share, inshaAllah.
A Daily Checklist Based on the Prophet’s Ramadan Sermon
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I recently went over some versions of the Prophet’s khutbah welcoming the month of Ramadhan. In it, he (s) mentions various advices and commands for the believers to take note of during this month. However, it is hard to keep track of them, so I’ve compiled them into a numbered checklist. I will be trying, inshaAllah, to review this checklist daily and try to tick off as many boxes as I can so that this month will be as blessed as possible. Please comment below if you will be joining me on this journey so that we can keep each other accountable. If you have not read the full sermon before, please do before viewing the summary below, as the Prophet (s) mentions important details not mentioned here for brevity’s sake.
There Will Be No Winner in the Daniel Haqiqatjou – Yaqeen Beef
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I’ve seen inaccurate portrayls both in Daniel Haqiqatjou & Friends’ recent article on Yaqeen Institute and in responses to their piece. I’m not sure why people can’t steelman their opponents instead of strawmanning them. It is very disappointing to see.
