Just as … Continue reading Falsely Claiming Halal and Haram is Shirk

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.

Hadith As Divine Revelation (Wahi) Dilemma
The Quran repeatedly declares that those who rule by anything other than God's revelation are disbelievers (5:44), unjust (5:45), and wicked (5:47) and that He sent the scripture to judge among the people (2:213 & 4:105). This presented a fundamental problem for proto-Sunni scholars, whose religious rulings and theology relied heavily on the utilization of … Continue reading Hadith As Divine Revelation (Wahi) Dilemma
Hermeneutics: Mimetics vs. Reason

Human Pre-Existence & Original Sin
A common misconception among Muslims is that humans are born sinless. However, the Quran reveals that this is not true.
