There is a rule to make a solid argument that some (arguably most) people do not practise. This is why silly arguments like certain conspiracy theories usually happen or fallacies occuring without people even noticing.

Keamanan Malaysia menangani Covid-19 boleh dijadikan iktibar untuk rakyat Malaysia mengingati semula nikmat Allah, lantas sujud hanya kepadaNya tanpa menyekutukanNya.
Few years ago, when the world is shocked by the persecution of Rohingyas in the Rakhine region in Myanmar, Malay Muslims in Malaysia are supporting to take the refugee Rohingyas…
Problems with saying that you can be good without God includes the inablity to define good, our limited foresight, and no intrinsic motivation.
They know that without God, their life would be meaningless. But to escape from this, they say that “while we don’t have all the answers, no one really does. And we’re excited of the idea that we can discover them.”
What or who is the most effective killer? The one that can boast how much it can kill, or the one that works in silence and incapicitates its enemy within?
Once a while we need to sit down, take a deep breath and reflect back on our past actions.
The essence of the teachings of Islam are liberal in nature. Islam teaches us to question the traditions brought down to us, which is to not blindly accept the practices of our ancestors.
How did the rulers and leaders made the masses submit to them? How were they able to create a religion where they themselves are gods?
God is transcendent. Transcendent does NOT mean magical. It does not mean ‘supernatural’. It simply means the human mind cannot grasp that transcendent thing.
If it is true that God left us without divine communication, then that means God left us in a state of confusion and bewilderment.
The Qur’an told us to question ourselves, is it even sensible to think that God would create anything aimlessly? Is life meaningful according to deists?
The contingency argument hows that there must be an uncaused first cause. I attempt to prove that the uncaused first cause points towards the God of Abraham
Was the universe created out of nothing? Or did it create itself? Or has it always existed? Or there is a higher power? These possibilities are discussed in this article.
Why some Muslims fear and oppose rationality heavily? They claim that Islam isn’t compatible with rationality, because the minds of a human is limited. They further claim that the only way to be ‘safe’ is only by following their religious scholars, not by rationality. Don’t they know that Allah told that His signs are for those who give thought?
Can we be good without God? A question often posed by the modern human. Atheists, especially, argue that you can be good without God. Even some religious people have this view.
In Islam, ethics is termed as ‘akhlaq’. It stemmed from the root ‘khalq’, meaning ‘creation’. Therefore, if we have akhlaq in our lives, we have served the purpose of the creation- khalq.
Why are ethics important?
…وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ“Verily, We have sent among every nation a messenger (proclaiming): ‘Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghoot…
Should someone be killed just because he or she said something offensive about religion? What does the Quran actually say about blasphemy?

In 2012, there was a documentary entitled “Islam: The Untold Story”, written and presented by historian Tom Holland. He made rather bizarre statements on the origins of Islam. Tom Holland argues that it is not Islam that gave birth to the Arab Empire (the Islamic Civilization like Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates), but the Arab empire that gave birth to Islam. Prophet Muhammad, according to Holland, never existed, but only a mythological product of the Arab Empire. Islam is an invented religion.
“What if it wasn’t Islam that gave birth to the Arab Empire? But the Arab Empire gave birth to Islam?”

Bismiillahirrahminirrahim أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَىٰ بَصَرِهِ غِشَاوَةً فَمَنْ يَهْدِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللَّهِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ“Have you seen him who…
Who doesn’t know about the ongoing issue on gay rights and that people are fighting about? We can see today even straight people are supporting gay rights and LGBT movements.
Yes, we all know that but the question is: How do these organisations existed in the first place, and how did they got so strong?

Let’s sit back, relax and think for a while about the creation of the universe and how we are actually meant to deal with it. Let’s venture through a unique point of view on it. I’m not asking that you should agree with what I’m saying, but I’m just hoping that this view may change the way we view things. In fact, a critical thinker should always look at things from many angles.
So, we were created on this Earth, and we spend our life here. We cannot spawn just by chance because that’s impossible. There must be someone or something that created us, and what created us is God. Continue readingIs there a right way to live?

The second last Sunday, I met a man named Eric. He lives in Cyprus but was born in Mauritius. He works in the same company as my mom. My mom introduced the whole family to him on that day, and I have to say that he is one of the most wonderful person I’ve ever met. We met again the last Thursday before he headed back home to Cyprus and I learnt few very important things from him.
We talked mostly about something what people hardly talk about- religion. When my mom asked him what religion is he following right now, he swiftly said “I’m nothing”. He however was born in a Christian family and his parents are devoted believers. He has read the Quran, the Bible (haven’t finished), and is about to read the Gita.
In the name of Allah, I begin my writing.

The declaration of Human rights by the United Nations (UN) is sought as one of the greatest achievement in human moral and the progress of humanity since the second world war. Truth to be told however, although with the ongoing human rights, human moral and behavior is declining to its lowest.
We don’t have to go very far to see this. Liberty and democracy is one of the main pillars of the so-called human rights. In the name of liberty, same-sex marriage is legalised, not married same-sex relationship is legalised, sex without marriage (zina) is legalised, wearing tight clothes on the streets are legalised, alcohol consumption is legalised, gambling is legalised, riba is legalised.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade they say, but then, how? And what’s the significance behind this so called saying that has been going around for centuries? Does this really proof that life IS hard for everyone and there will be a point in our lives that makes us think life is…sour in general? To construe that life, though it may be filled with joy and happiness, there will be a period of time when you got to deal with the sour and make the best out of it, the lemonade.
