Live In Deen

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. Liberal and modernist polemics against Islam often revolve around the idea of jihad as barbaric, materially motivated invasions coated by a mirage of spiritual […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/17/napoleon-bonaparte-islamic-modernist/

You may have come across some of the recent controversy surrounding a TikTok creator known as “Ayah’s Voice.” She has become the subject of intense conversation on various social media platforms including X. I do not use TikTok myself, but from what I’ve seen circulating online, she appears to command a somewhat substantial audience, likely […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/16/autonomous-self-cult-muslim-feminism/

Wahhabis have launched another braindead, self-defeating media campaign against me simply for calling for a practice championed by the Salaf. Context is here. Basically I called for the DEMOLITION of the Clock Tower McHotel looming over the Sacred Haram. Predictably, the dishonest Wahhabis say this means I am calling for the “bombing of Mecca” lol […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/13/salaf-demolished-buildings-taller-kaba/

Following the events of the genocide in Palestine and the subsequent war between the Zionist establishment and Iran, a wave of seldom discussed matters surfaced as the subject of fierce debate. Among the more pressing questions include the issue of Sunni-Shi’ah unity, whether or not Muslims should show solidarity towards the fighters in Lebanon, Yemen, […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/11/iranian-ittihad-i-islam/

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). At first glance, this may appear persuasive to some who are unfamiliar with the linguistic and theological landscape of the biblical tradition. 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. More than 86,500 Israelis left in 2023, followed by […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/07/jews-leaving-israel-yerida/

Like many others, I still choose to not be on TikTok. Complete withdrawal from social media, however, carries its own costs, and unless one intends to become socially insulated, some degree of participation is almost unavoidable. I therefore use WhatsApp, among other things, to remain in contact with family and friends… and, as anyone from […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/05/compassionate-imams-feminine/

Feminist theory and the liberal ideological foundations it emerged from are a uniquely post-enlightenment, Western phenomenon. In modern times, the imagined scale of “social progress” still weighs heavily in the favor of Western countries, leading to practices that would be considered extreme even to an audience from a decade prior. Countless articles from Muslim Skeptic […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/03/feminism-womens-education-ottoman-empire/

There are two inconvenient truths about Ahmad Sharaa that haven’t gotten much attention ever since the ouster of Bashar al-Assad in 2024. (1) Syrian Wahhabis including Ahmad Sharaa were long allied with Bashar al-Assad’s intelligence services. (2) Syrian Wahhabis including Sharaa began blowing up Shia marketplaces and mosques in Iraq long before Assad’s crimes in […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/02/assad-create-sharaa/

In contemporary Hinduism, the Bhagavad Gita is arguably the most widely read, translated, and cited sacred text. Though it comprises only approximately 700 verses, it has come to occupy a position in modern Hindu thought comparable to that which is occupied by the Qur’an in Islam or by the Bible in Christianity. Historically, however, the […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/01/islamic-critique-bhagavad-gita/

There is a particular criticism that is commonly directed against Islam, from both Jews and Christians. It is the assertion that the Israelites not only rejected but, in some cases, killed the prophets that God had sent to them. The Qur’an of course repeatedly informs us that the Children of Israel both persecuted and murdered […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/08/31/killers-prophets-quranic-accusation/

The Muslim ummah has recently been directing a well-deserved bout of outrage towards Saudi Arabia for shamelessly removing prophetic narrations and other religious material from their textbooks and curricula because it was perceived as being ‘antisemitic’ and problematic by Israel. Specifically, the removal of this statement from Saudi textbooks has gone viral: An Israel-based organisation […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/08/30/israeli-impact-se-sinister-agenda/

Introduction This article offers an overview and analysis of the Makka Joint Defense Agreement. It is helpful to begin with some basic facts.

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. The insinuation is sometimes expressed crudely as “Islam is a religion of criminals.” Sometimes, it is presented […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/08/28/spread-islam-western-prisons/

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. It is known that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/08/24/hadith-criticism-new-testament/

What do baby formula milk, post-partum depression, Big Pharma’s war on motherhood, and the unnatural approach of modern medicine towards treating the human body all have in common? Everything. The Abandonment of Breastfeeding For those who don’t know, post-partum depression is a term used in modern medicine to describe a period of time following child-birth […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/08/22/modern-medicines-breastfeeding/

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. The Qur’an repeatedly rehabilitates prophetic figures by correcting various slanderous Biblical portrayals of them engaged in episodes of grave sin, moral failure, or theological […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/08/18/quranic-rehabilitation-disciples-jesus/

Israeli propaganda against Muslims and Palestinians has been at an all-time high ever since October 7th, with the propaganda being so blatant and the narrative so poorly written that people can now readily identify when a smear campaign is launched by Israel or one of its puppet arms against influential voices opposed to Israel.

By: Jabrail Gadgiev (Imam Shamil Library) Recently, social media has experienced a wave of hysteria over the arrival of migrants into Cueta, an autonomous city owned by Spain, bordering Morocco.
