‘Living Fossils’: The Darwinist Fear

This article claims ‘...the use of fossil pictures together with their living counterparts in the Atlas of Creation, did not refute the theory of evolution.’ One of the allegations in the piece was that ‘there was a misuse of the concept “living fossil” and that the living fossils did not refute the evolutionary idea nor did they provide evidence against evolution’. These allegations do not bear any scientific value.

God is Ar-Raqib: The Ever-Watchful

Today’s world excels in managerial and financial oversight. Self-monitoring is regarded a great personal quality that makes a person more-productive, honest, and impervious to corruption. Nothing brings about this quality in a person like the awareness that Allah is Ever-Watchful and knows everything we do, great and small, visible and hidden.

The Purpose of Life in Light of the Qur’an

What we have to understand is how these signs indicate that there will be a Hereafter. One course of thought is that if God can create the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers then why can He not raise us all after we are dead.

Unlike the believers in re-incarnation, in which the dead are believed to be reborn into a better or worse life according to his/her deeds in the last life, the adherents to the Abrahamic religions believe that there are only two lives. The first, being from the mother’s womb, and the second, when a person is resurrected on the Day of Judgment to account for his deeds.

Struggling Between Islam and Atheism

The claim that something does not exist because we haven’t seen it, heard it, etc... is untenable. When we consider the limitations of our sensual perception and reasoning powers, it is not necessary that we understand everything; and there are facts that lead us to an inescapable awareness of the Presence of God.

It is only humans who have the ability as well as the freedom to critically observe and logically analyze the objects and events around them and make inferences about the forces working behind them.

Fascism: The Return of Paganism

Previously, we identified fascism as a system of violence that emerged in pagan societies. The basic reason for this violent tendency in fascism comes from the philosophy of "worshipping strength," that might is right. The strong have the right to rise to the top and crush the weak. Fascists greatly admire the strong, but hate and despise the weak.
