Research and articles
The Ottoman Empire and Its European Foray
In this intricate web of European politics and religion, the Ottoman Empire asserted its presence powerfully. With vast swathes of Eastern Europe under its control, the Empire naturally found itself juxtaposed against the Catholic Habsburgs, both vying for a broader sphere of influence.
The Qur’an and Human Reason
Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Shah
The concept of reason in the Qur’anic perspective is a multifaceted one, incorporating elements from various philosophical and historical traditions.
The Qur’an and the Importance of Human Reason
The Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, places a strong emphasis on the importance of human reason, critical thinking, logical argumentation, and common sense. It values the use of our intellect to understand the world, theology, morality, and the human mind.
Voltaire's Nuanced Fondness of Islam
Voltaire’s Nuanced Fondness of Islam
Voltaire, whose real name was François-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), was a French philosopher, writer, and thinker who made significant contributions to the Enlightenment.
Book Reviews
Zulfiqar Ali Shah’s book is an extensive undertaking that is encyclopedic in its scope and ambitious in its aims. Although written with a view to demonstrating the relative superiority of the Qur’anic and Muslim understanding of the transcendent God, the book’s lengthy treatments of corresponding biblical, Jewish, and Christian understandings seem largely fair, balanced and thorough.
The French Enlightenment: An Exploration of Islamic Influences
The history of the French Revolution and its ideological aftermath has often been framed within the juxtaposition of the Enlightenment and the religio-political underpinnings of medieval Christianity.

After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any approach you can take away me from that service? Thanks!

Please STOP promoting NAK
salamsudduf comments on Insta
Am I the only one with a voice on this? If we don’t speak up, we are part of the problem. Use your voice. It’s hard, I know. I get cancelled each and every time. NAK is harmful to women. His repentance is with Allah. But what he did to women in the past while a religious leader is enough to keep him out of position of religious leadership.
Stop allowing men who harm women BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. JUST STOP PLEASE
