The Quran declares, without ambiguity, that God never forgets. [19:64] We do not come down except by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs our past, our future, and everything between them. Your Lord is never forgetful. وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ لَهُۥ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا … Continue reading Does God Forget?
Idols Are Nothing
In several places in the Quran, a profound truth emerges: what human beings set up as idols beside God are ultimately nothing. This realization will become crystal clear on the Day of Judgment when those who practiced idol worship, and called upon other than God, will be asked about the partners they claimed to associate … Continue reading Idols Are Nothing
Falsely Claiming Halal and Haram is Shirk
Satan’s objective is to lead people away from God’s commands, but his methods vary depending on the individual. For the outright disbeliever, he encourages neglect and abandonment of divine laws. However, for those who profess belief, his strategy is more deceptive—he pushes them toward excess, making them go beyond what God has decreed. Just as … Continue reading Falsely Claiming Halal and Haram is Shirk
The Perpetual Commandments
The Quran provides a framework for life, guiding believers not only in their actions but in their constant state of mind, heart, and soul. While some commands are to be carried out when circumstances arise—such as giving charity when encountering the poor or establishing justice when a dispute occurs—there are others that must be upheld … Continue reading The Perpetual Commandments
In a World Without Forgiveness, the Shameless Rise
We live in an era where mistakes are permanent, where a single misstep can define a person forever. The rise of cancel culture, public shaming, and social media outrage has created an environment where forgiveness is rare, and redemption is nearly impossible.

The Struggle for Survival: A Lesson from the Hadza Tribe
I recently watched a video about the Hadza people, a hunter-gatherer community living in the rugged landscapes of Tanzania. For thousands of years, their way of life has remained largely unchanged. Being among the last true hunter-gatherers on Earth, they rely entirely on nature for survival. In a world where food is readily available at … Continue reading The Struggle for Survival: A Lesson from the Hadza Tribe
The High Stakes of Religious Judgment: Why Only the Quran Can Be Our Benchmark
When making judgments in religious matters, we must recognize the immense weight of our decisions. The consequences are not just temporary or worldly but eternal. A wrong judgment, if it leads us away from the truth, can result in losing our place in the Hereafter. Given that the ultimate consequence is Hell, it is not … Continue reading The High Stakes of Religious Judgment: Why Only the Quran Can Be Our Benchmark
The Sorites Paradox and Its Connection to Faith, Sin, and Repentance
The Sorites Paradox, also known as the Paradox of the Heap, is a philosophical dilemma that arises from the difficulty of defining clear boundaries in gradual change. If a single grain of sand is not a heap, and adding one grain does not suddenly create a heap, then at what point does a collection of … Continue reading The Sorites Paradox and Its Connection to Faith, Sin, and Repentance
Paul Contradicts Jesus & Torah on the Law
Jesus & The Law One of the most striking tensions in the New Testament is the difference between Jesus’ teachings on the Law (Torah) and Paul’s theology of faith over works. Jesus consistently affirmed the validity of the Torah, instructing his followers to observe and uphold its commandments. In Matthew 5:17-19, he explicitly states, "Do … Continue reading Paul Contradicts Jesus & Torah on the Law
