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). His messianic status is therefore not a point of dispute […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/26/hebrew-bible-messiah-divine-man/

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. It has led to much suffering, loss of life, infrastructural damage, and poverty, resulting in the once prosperous lands of Yemen being reduced to rubble. 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. The end goal is to turn them into subservient liberal feminist goyim for Israel, thereby ensuring that they […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/22/impact-se-israel-saudi/

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. The political situation in Syria fundamentally shaped the religious and ethnic composition of the country. Syria is home to various religious groups. Approximately 80% of the population […] source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/09/20/asads-anti-sunni-sectarian-policies/

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. 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/
