Beware of Blind Following
Beware of Blind Following: A Reflective Review in the Light of Islam The importance of thought, reason, and conscience in the history of human civilization has always been fundamental and undeniable. And in this regard, Islam occupies an exceptional place, because it does not call people to blindly follow, but rather to the path of knowledge, evidence, reason, and inquiry. From the beginning of Islam to the arrival of the last Prophet, the main goal was to awaken people to the sense of distinguishing between truth and falsehood, to expand the horizons of thought, and to remove the veil of blindness and call them to acquire the ability to understand reality.

Deeds and worship are pure and impure.
Actions and Worship: Pure and Impure: An Introspective Review Islam is a complete system of life, every part of which is based on practice, belief, and behavior. Its main foundation is to stand on two pillars: faith and action. And this action includes worship, which is the highest expression of a servant's surrender to Allah. However, as important as worship is, its purity is equally important. If worship is not pure, it will not be acceptable to Allah. And the purity of worship is related to the intention, method, Shariah adherence, and the state of the heart.

Scientifically, Why There Is No God
For centuries, humanity has looked to the skies, mountains, and scriptures in search of divine beings — gods who govern the cosmos, deliver justice, and provide purpose to our existence. While religion offers comfort and a framework for morality to billions, science tells a different story — one grounded in observable evidence, critical thinking, and testable explanations. This article aims to explore, through a scientific lens, why the concept of God lacks empirical support and remains a human construct rather than a reality.

I begin in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Usually, the translation of the verse says, "I begin in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." Although this translation is correct, it does not reveal the full meaning of this verse. Because, the verse demands a more detailed explanation. First of all, it is worth noting that in the verse, two names, 'Ar-Rahman' and 'Ar-Rahim', from among Allah's own attributive names, are mentioned in one place. The word 'Rahm' means mercy, grace. The words 'Rahman' and 'Rahim' have emerged and formed from this root 'Rahm'. The word 'Rahman' is such an attributive name of Allah that it is not permissible to use it for anyone else. (Tabari) In the Quran and Hadith, even in Arab literature, it has not been used as an attribute of anyone other than Allah. On the other hand, although the word 'Rahim' is an attribute of Allah, it can be an attribute of some other created being. However, there is no saying that if it is an attribute of Allah, it has to have the same meaning as if it is an attribute of someone else. Its attributes are determined according to each being. There is a special significance in mentioning these two attributive names here in the same place. Some commentators have said that Allah is ‘Rahman’ in this world, and ‘Raheem’ in the Hereafter.

Oslo Accords
Oslo Accords: Another Chapter in the Deception of the Palestinians September 13, 1993. A much-discussed moment in the history of world politics was captured on the White House lawn: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat shaking hands, with US President Bill Clinton standing in between. Cameras flashed all around, media cheers, and congratulatory messages poured in from major capitals around the world. Everyone was saying—a new era of peace had begun in the Middle East. But what was not visible was the reality behind the scenes of this agreement—a clever, cunning, and ruthless political deception that the Palestinians were the victims of.
