There are few words whose meaning is apprehended more immediately than “beauty.” Before it is “analysed,” “defined,” or “theorised,” beauty is experienced. It arrests perception, suspends ordinary calculation, and draws consciousness outside itself. Beauty invites contemplation before action. It produces silence before explanation. This universal human experience explains why beauty occupies such a central place […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/10/07/secular-war-beauty/

Many of us have heard of the infamous “Arab Revolt”: an event in which a number of tribes in the Arabian peninsula sided with the British against the late Ottoman Empire. This incident, inflicting a crippling blow on the Ottoman war effort, would contribute to the complete colonization of the Middle East over the following […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/10/06/divided-loyalties-western-counter-jihad-agendas/

On X (formerly Twitter), one regularly comes across ethnonationalist wars of a particularly ugly kind, many of which seem to be directed against Persians. Not too long ago, I witnessed an Arab nationalist use language about Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) that would have been almost unthinkable within the traditional Sunni civilization.

The Age of Enlightenment is often highlighted as the epoch where Europeans and the Western world in general emerged from the ‘darkness’ of the Middle Ages and entered into the light of ‘reason’ and ‘science.’ It is an age celebrated as a time that gave the Western world freedom, liberal democracy, universal human rights, reason, […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/10/04/dominant-religion-today/

There is a recurring debate regarding whether Jews constitute a “race” or are “merely” the adherents of a religion. However, Jewishness (I give preference to this term over “Judaism,” which evacuates the ethnic component) is more accurately described as an ethnoreligious tradition: religious covenant and historical peoplehood are interwoven in ways that make their complete […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/10/01/1967-when-zionism-sacred/

If an individual genuinely claimed access to divine revelation, what kind of evidence should we expect? Well, certainly not merely ambiguous language or symbolic predictions that can be retrofitted to almost any historical outcome. Such statements possess little evidential value because their apparent accuracy can be attributed to interpretive flexibility rather than genuine predictive power.

The most common historical justification for 18th century colonialism was the notion of a civilizational disparity between Europeans and other peoples of the world. Today, white nationalists continue to depict the “third world” as being savage and repugnant in all manners of life, among which a major theme is on the subject of hygiene. Practices […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/28/european-hygiene-18th-century/

As Muslims, we affirm without reservation that Jesus (peace be upon him) is the Messiah (al-Masih). The Qur’an explicitly bestows this title upon him in numerous places, referring to him as “the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary” (Qur’an 3:45; 4:157; 4:171; 5:17; 5:72; 5:75; 9:30).

This September 11 (2026) marked the 25-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and, as usual, the time of year has become more than just an occasion for remembrance and commemoration. It has also become an annual battleground of competing narratives. Sadly, however, not much of it is about Israel’s involvement in the attacks. Instead, we […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/24/pyrrhic-crusade-war-terror-white-nationalist/

The war in Yemen has become emblematic of 21st century conflicts in the middle east, pitting Muslims against one another on purportedly sectarian grounds.

The wounds of the violence there […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/23/yemen-recent-history/

This is the second installment in a series of articles on IMPACT-SE, the Jewish Israeli organization that is trying to brainwash the Muslim youth by deforming Islam in the education system and textbook curricula in Muslim countries.

Introduction Background: Sectarian Demography and Alawi Rule Online debate continues to rage over the political situation in Syria and its relationship to broader developments in the Middle East.

Traditionally, being Sunni is not only about aqida. Rather it is also about establishing independent sovereign states, applying the Sharia, and waging jihad (e.g., to maintain political independence, to protect vulnerable Muslims, etc.). These basic facts were recognized by Sunnis Islamists throughout most of the 20th century (e.g., Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat-e-Islami, Hizb al-Tahrir, etc.). These […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/18/hijacking-sunnism-secular-ultrasectarians/

Islamic history is rife with episodes of battles, wars, and conquests. This is no doubt a result of the divine command to engage in armed struggle or “jihad” against disbelieving polities.

Wahhabis have launched another braindead, self-defeating media campaign against me simply for calling for a practice championed by the Salaf. Context is here.

A very bizarre criticism of Islam has been popularized recently. The argument is that the Qur’an supposedly lacks credibility because it never uses the divine name “YHWH” (the Tetragrammaton).

Upon closer examination, however, […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/09/myth-yhwh-quran/

Al Jazeera recently published a news article titled, “‘Tsunami’ of emigration reshapes Israel’s future, experts warn,” wherein they reported the following: Nearly 270,000 Israelis have left the country over the past three years, the Tel Aviv University study found, drawing on Central Bureau of Statistics data.

Feminist theory and the liberal ideological foundations it emerged from are a uniquely post-enlightenment, Western phenomenon.

In contemporary Hinduism, the Bhagavad Gita is arguably the most widely read, translated, and cited sacred text.

There is a particular criticism that is commonly directed against Islam, from both Jews and Christians.

A recurrent polemical argument that is put forward particularly in some Christian apologetic circles, goes roughly as follows: Since Islam attracts a conspicuous number of converts within Western prisons, Islam must therefore possess some peculiar affinity with criminality.

In Islam, Muslims revere the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as the best of creation and as God’s Chosen Final Prophet and Messenger. One of the clearest manifestations of the reverence displayed towards him ﷺ is the extraordinary level of care that Muslims developed around attributing words to him.

One of the less frequently considered arguments for the finality of Islam is the extraordinary comprehensiveness of the human model embodied by its final Messenger, Muhammad ﷺ. The Qur’an does not present him merely as the transmitter of a particular theological system. It makes his very existence normatively significant: Yet, very truly, in the Messenger […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/08/19/myth-judeo-christian-family/

It is widely recognized among Muslims that one of the recurring functions of the Qur’an is the vindication of God’s chosen servants against narratives that diminish their moral and spiritual stature.

Few figures in human history have exercised a level of influence comparable to that of Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham (peace be upon him).

The Talmud occupies a central place in Rabbinic Judaism. This is because it functions as the principal repository of legal interpretation, religious practice, and rabbinic authority.

As Muslims, we affirm tawhid, i.e., the metaphysical singularity, ontological absoluteness, and incomparable unity of God, whose essence admits neither division, composition, hypostatic plurality, nor relational dependence.

From an Islamic theological perspective, the doctrine of the Trinity constitutes a violation of divine unity (tawhid), the uncompromising affirmation that God is absolutely one, unique, and without ontological partners.
