The Quranic Critique of the Resurrection Tradition

Image
The death and resurrection of Jesus (peace be upon him) occupy the absolute heart of Christian theology. Christianity does not merely present Jesus as a prophet, moral teacher, miracle-worker, or even messianic figure. Rather, it grounds the entire structure of salvation history upon the claim that Jesus physically rose from the dead after crucifixion. The […] The post The Quranic Critique of the Resurrection Tradition appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/05/21/quranic-critique-resurrection-tradition/

Wahhabism Is the Inversion of Ahl al-Hadith

Image
If we examine the aqida and hadith literature produced by the early Sunni Ahl al-Hadith of the ninth and tenth centuries CE, we can notice something deeply ironic. Of course, the ninth century Ahl al-Hadith (of Ahmad ibn Hanbal) are who the Wahhabi movement of the eigteenth century claims to follow. The irony is that […] The post Wahhabism Is the Inversion of Ahl al-Hadith appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/05/20/wahhabism-inversion-ahl-al-hadith/

“Adam Couldn’t Be Muslim”: Why This Chronological Objection Against Islam Fails

Image
One particular objection that is often raised against Islam goes as follows: Muslims claim that Islam predates the historical mission of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ despite the fact that the Qur’anic revelation emerged in seventh-century Arabia. Critics, particularly among some Jewish and Christian polemicists, mock the idea that Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, or Jesus (peace […] The post “Adam Couldn’t Be Muslim”: Why This Chronological Objection Against Islam Fails appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/05/19/adam-couldnt-be-muslim/

Providers No Longer: What Men Can Learn From Aurat March

There are many celebrations that are held annually in Pakistan, such as the two Eids, Pakistani Independence Day, days on which the Pakistani military globally humiliated India, etc. However, alongside all of these, there is a certain strange event that has popped up and has been recurring for some years now, and that is the […] The post Providers No Longer: What Men Can Learn From Aurat March appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/05/17/providers-no-longer-aurat-march/

The Age of Illusion: Parapsychology, Technology and the Dajjal

Image
Parapsychological phenomena remain among the most captivating subjects at the intersection of science, philosophy, religion, and popular culture. Broadly speaking, parapsychology refers to the study of mental or consciousness-related phenomena that appear to operate beyond the explanatory limits of conventional sensory perception or known physical mechanisms. These phenomena include telepathy (the transmission of thoughts from […] The post The Age of Illusion: Parapsychology, Technology and the Dajjal appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/05/14/the-age-of-illusion-parapsychology-technology-and-the-dajjal/

Dr. Zakir Naik vs Andrew Tate: Prioritizing the Life of the Hereafter Over This Life

Image
Wahhabi Outrage at Dr. Zakir Naik’s Call to Pan-Islamic Unity In his recent stream with Dr. Zakir Naik, brother Sneako asked him his thoughts about some topics that are extremely relevant to the Muslim ummah today. One of these questions was regarding Pan-Islamic unity. This is, of course, something that the Wahhabis have been extremely […] The post Dr. Zakir Naik vs Andrew Tate: Prioritizing the Life of the Hereafter Over This Life appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/05/12/zakir-naik-vs-andrew-tate/

Prophecy Against Psychology: Mufti Shafi, Kierkegaard, and the Crisis of Modern Subjectivity

Image
In my work at Muslim Skeptic, I have frequently drawn upon the Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir) of the renowned scholar Mufti Muhammad Shafi (1897–1976), may Allah have mercy on him. As many of you may know, he is the late father of the contemporary scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani.

Call of Duty Players as Future Soldiers? How the US Military Controls Modern Gaming

The US Military’s Influence Over the Modern Gaming Industry In the previous article, we looked at how Pokémon Go – a game that went viral globally a decade ago – was a CIA-backed project where the unsuspecting players were essentially acting as unpaid CIA employees.

Rethinking Dawkins’s Selective Skepticism: God, AI, and Atheist Double Standards

Image
Richard Dawkins, long associated with the “New Atheist” movement and a leading voice in evolutionary biology, has once again gone viral. This time, it it due to some remarks he made in which he appears to be attributing some form of consciousness – or at least quasi-agency – to artificial intelligence (AI).

From Pokémon to Palestine: How Your Gaming Data Powers Israel’s Genocide

Image
Among the different forms of entertainment that have sprung forth in the wake of modern technologies, video games have been at the forefront.

Selective Outrage: Iran, Sectarianism & the Politics of Blame

Image
In the context of the current tensions between Iran and the U.S.-Israel axis, a number of ideologically driven actors, ranging from Wahhabis to neo-Ba’athists, have sought to adopt what appears to be a “centrist” posture. Their stance can be summed up via the claim that “the defeat of both sides would be preferable.” This framing, […] The post Selective Outrage: Iran, Sectarianism & the Politics of Blame appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/04/29/selective-outrage-iran-sectarianism/

Voting on Orthodoxy: How Councils Rewrote Christian Belief

Image
In the Islamic intellectual tradition, within Ahl al-Sunnah wa ‘l-Jama’ah, there is a long-standing claim (supported by extensive textual transmission) that the core doctrinal framework has remained substantially stable for well over a millennium. While juristic schools may differ and theological debates did certainly occur, the foundational creedal commitments were never subject to periodic redefinition […] The post Voting on Orthodoxy: How Councils Rewrote Christian Belief appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/04/25/voting-orthodoxy-how-councils-rewrote-christian-belief/

Intra-New Testament Diversity: Did Paul Deform Christianity?

Image
Paul of Tarsus is arguably the foremost influential figure responsible for shaping Christian doctrine. Although the New Testament contains teachings attributed to Jesus (peace be upon him), far more theological material is derived from letters attributed to Paul, and even then, modern scholarship recognizes only seven of these epistles as being authentic (Romans, 1–2 Corinthians, […] The post Intra-New Testament Diversity: Did Paul Deform Christianity? appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/04/23/intra-new-testament-diversity-paul/

Will Iran Ignite the Fall of the American Empire?

Image
As you may know, Iran and the Trump Administration have made a “deal” – a two-week ceasefire that already appears to be unravelling. Israel has been ferociously bombing the South of Lebanon, and most people with even a few functioning brain cells are of course skeptical about the US and Israel’s intentions to live up […] The post Will Iran Ignite the Fall of the American Empire? appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/04/20/iran-ignite-fall-american-empire/

How to Destroy the Wahhabi ‘Israel vs Iran’ Argument in Less Than Ten Seconds

Over time, Muslim Skeptic has thoroughly dismantled the deviant ideology of Wahhabism via documentaries, debates, and online discourse.

[Book Review] What If, Instead of Ataturk, Turkiye Had Been Shaped by Enver Pasha?

Image
Book Review: Enver Pasha (translator: Abdullah Bey), In Tripoli: Enver Pasha’s Diary during the Turco-Italian War (Suavi Publishing House, 2025) One of the most persistent habits of popular historical thinking is counterfactual speculation – the infamous “what if” question: imagining alternative trajectories of history if a decisive variable had been different.

Hormuz Over Hiroshima: Iran’s Victory and the New Logic of Power

More than a month into the U.S.-Israel offensive against Iran, informally dubbed “Operation Epstein Fury,” the conflict has now culminated in what is being described as a ceasefire brokered through Pakistan – well, supposedly.

Jacob Between Judaism and Islam: Are Jews Deceivers?

Image
Jacob/Ya’qub (peace be upon him) occupies a central and enduring place in both Judaism and Islam, though the theological framing of his significance differs across the two traditions. In Judaism, Jacob’s importance is inseparable from his transformation into Israel (Yisrael), the name bestowed upon him after he supposedly “wrestled” with “the divine being” in Genesis […] The post Jacob Between Judaism and Islam: Are Jews Deceivers? appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/04/05/jacob-between-judaism-islam/

“Christ Is King”? What Does Jesus Say?

Image
In contemporary polemical and ideological discourse, the phrase “Christ is King” has re-emerged and become quite widespread, often within highly polarized cultural and political contexts. Quite frequently, the phrase is not uttered merely as a devotional slogan; it also functions as a theological assertion: namely, that Jesus (peace be upon him) is to be considered […] The post “Christ Is King”?
