Isaiah 42 and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: A Cumulative Case from Geography, Genealogy, Prophecy

Image
As Muslims, we believe that the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was foretold in the Bible. This notion is rooted in the Qur’an itself, which explicitly states that the Prophet ﷺ was already described in previous revelation: [These are] the ones who shall follow the [last] Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, [Muhammad — he] whom […] The post Isaiah 42 and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: A Cumulative Case from Geography, Genealogy, Prophecy appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/23/isaiah-42-prophet/

The Parallels between Wahhabism and Calvinist Protestantism

Image
Both Wahhabism and Calvinist Protestantism sought to return to the original message of their religion, as understood by the earliest generations (i.e., early Church, Salaf). Both movements rejected additional teachings which had accumulated by the late medieval period, arguing that these often amounted to polytheism and idolatry. Both movements also prioritized militant rebellion and literal […] The post The Parallels between Wahhabism and Calvinist Protestantism appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/19/parallels-wahhabism-calvinist-protestantism/

Does Allah Love Sin? How Christian Polemicists Misread Hadith… and Their Own Bible

Image
Christian polemicists have recently popularized what they believe to be a shiny new criticism of Islam. It has been pushed particularly by figures such as Christina Marie (“LadyLogic”), the wife of Avery (“GodLogic”). They cite an authentic hadith narrated by the noble prophetic companion, Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), in an attempt […] The post Does Allah Love Sin?

The Oven of Akhnai: The Talmud Teaches Rabbinic Superiority Over God

Image
Almost all religions center around the belief in God and the relationship between God and humans. In order to understand what the correct nature of this relationship should be, one must first have the correct understanding and knowledge of who God is. Islam is the only religion that teaches the fact that God is free […] The post The Oven of Akhnai: The Talmud Teaches Rabbinic Superiority Over God appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/16/oven-of-akhnai-talmud/

Religious Trauma or Secular Trauma? The Hidden Wounds of Hypermodernity

Image
As some of you may know, there is quite the funny trend that has emerged recently on X. As a tongue-in-cheek response to the increasingly common discourse surrounding “religious trauma” – you know, the “cruelty” of being “obliged to pray as a child” (!) – a growing number of users, many of whom are Muslims, […] The post Religious Trauma or Secular Trauma?

The Madkhali Double Standard on Shirk, Kufr, and the UAE

Image
Madkhali Wahhabis hate Iran and refuse to ally with them because of their ‘shirk and kufr.’ They claim to hate it so much that, because of it, there can be no political unity between Sunni and Shi’ah against the US-Israel regime. However, when it comes to Gulf governments like the UAE openly promoting shirk and […] The post The Madkhali Double Standard on Shirk, Kufr, and the UAE appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/13/madkhali-double-standard-uae/

The Ex-Muslim Argument from David: Why the Qur’anic Reading Is More Coherent

Image
In recent years, social media has witnessed the rise of a highly visible “Ex-Muslim” online ecosystem. Contrary to the impression created by algorithms, this visibility should not be confused with demographic significance. Major demographic studies, including those conducted by organizations such as the Pew Research Center, have consistently found apostasy from Islam to be statistically […] The post The Ex-Muslim Argument from David: Why the Qur’anic Reading Is More Coherent appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/12/ex-muslim-argument-david/

Silicon Valley Trying to Pass Bill that Legalizes AI-Assisted Genocide

Image
In this current world of rapidly advancing AI, there are also laws being rapidly developed to regulate them. However, such laws end up being pretty meaningless if they’re designed to keep billionaire AI developers out of jail when committing mass atrocities using those AI. One such bill, known as SB 3444 or, ironically, the ‘Artificial […] The post Silicon Valley Trying to Pass Bill that Legalizes AI-Assisted Genocide appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/11/silicon-valley-bill-ai-assisted-genocide/

Eyewitnesses or Theologians? Reassessing the Authorship of the Gospels

Image
In Islam, the Qur’an is understood to be the direct and unaltered Word of Allah, revealed to the final Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, through the angel Gabriel, over a period of approximately twenty-three years. The Islamic tradition therefore maintains a clear distinction between revelation and messenger: the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is not regarded as […] The post Eyewitnesses or Theologians?

The Calhoun Effect: How Spiritual Death Is the Prelude to Biological Extinction

Image
Once upon a time, society was governed by stable structures, gender roles, and well-defined hierarchies. And within these societies, people worked and struggled to pull their weight and do their part, with the men working outside the home and the women carrying out the housework inside the home. However, both of these timeless values, i.e., […] The post The Calhoun Effect: How Spiritual Death Is the Prelude to Biological Extinction appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/06/calhoun-effect/

Independence and Isolation Are Two Sides of the Same Coin

Image
Independence and isolation are two sides of the same coin. Recently, I had an interesting conversation with my dad that got me thinking about this. When my dad first moved from Egypt to the United States twenty-some years ago, he found some things very odd in his new surroundings. He gave me three examples of […] The post Independence and Isolation Are Two Sides of the Same Coin appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/05/independence-isolation/

Tyre Still Stands: Israel, Lebanon and a Failed Biblical Prophecy

Image
Most people encountering the name Tyre today do so through reports of Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon. This is due to the fact that the city of Tyre is frequently mentioned as part of Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah/Hizbullah. It is a campaign that often treats vast areas of predominantly Shi’i southern Lebanon as a legitimate […] The post Tyre Still Stands: Israel, Lebanon and a Failed Biblical Prophecy appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/03/tyre-still-stands/

The Torah Was Changed? What Rabbinic Scholarship Actually Says

Image
One of the foundational claims of traditional Judaism is that the Torah was revealed directly by God to Moses in a complete, fixed, and authoritative form; and that this revelation was transmitted faithfully and unchanged through history. Classical rabbinic literature presents the Torah not merely as inspired scripture but as a divinely dictated text whose […] The post The Torah Was Changed?

Digital Demons: Exploring the Metaphysical Framework of Jinn

Image
In earlier articles, we mentioned the possibility of a sort of hypothetical bridging between the physical and metaphysical worlds via technological advancement. Transhumanists already speak of a ‘singularity’ where mankind and AI will supposedly merge and transcend into a higher form. However, what we’re discussing here is a mergence between AI and demonic jinn.
