Muslims are not a homogeneous entity. Differences of views, sects, legal schools and interpretations are almost as old the faith of Islam itself. In and of itself this is by no means objectionable. Indeed, it is but natural that when human beings seek to understand the Quran or the words of the Prophet Muhammad, there…

Coronavirus: Divine Power or Darwinian Legacy?

Coronavirus & Prophet Muhammad
The Prophet Muhammad, was a true man of vision and foresight. Thus, one is often startled by the continuous relevance of his words, fourteen centuries after they were stated. Today as the world reels from the horrible reality of covid 19, watching helplessly as people die in scores and the silent killer sets about disrupting…
The pieces of the puzzle
Life can be crudely compared to a jigsaw puzzle. Everything fits snugly into each other. From the precipitation cycle, to particle physics we find nothing independent of anything or anybody. This much will be accepted by even the hardcore materialist. Yet he or she will invariably argue that science and rationality is all we need…
Israel and Human Rights

It also shows those misguided Muslims who assume ‘Jews’ or ‘Americans’ are enemies could not be more wrong. There are good, decent people amongst all races and religions. It is these people who should hold hands together and stand…

Even the White House realises the toxic effect this poisonous movie is having on the peace of the…
‘I’ am NOT the atoms in my brain
The scientist Carl Sagan once claimed that he was nothing more than the atoms that formed his physical structure, especially his brain. This statement is not in the least surprising coming from the key spokesman of fundamentalist materialism and dogmatic atheism of his time. Yet there is something almost unbelievable about an eminent scientist being…
