From the perspective of Orientalism
The Western World’s Strategy of Lies and Distortion in Islamic History: From an Orientalist Perspective The study of history is not just about knowing the past—it is a struggle for power, perspective, and control. Who is writing history, how is it being written, and why are these questions important, as is whose perspective is being written. The Western world has practiced a systematic distortion and falsification of the history of Islam and Muslims for centuries, the main background of which was created through an academic and political framework called so-called ‘Orientalism.’ This framework was not just a practice of knowledge, but a strategy for establishing cultural dominance. In this discussion, we will see how Orientalists have distorted Islam and Muslims, what their intentions were, and what their impact is on the world today.

Islam is a universal way of life.

Thoughts
The history of religion is an integral part of the history of human evolution. Since the dawn of human civilization, people have pondered over their own existence, the purpose of life, and the relationship between creation and the Creator. As a result of that contemplation, various religions have emerged. Although the external appearance of religions has changed due to time, culture, and geographical differences, one thing is very noticeable — all religions emphasize some basic human qualities. Such as: kindness, self-control, justice, altruism, and faith in a supreme power. These common principles prove that the guidance given by the Creator is essentially one and the same, although its manifestation has been in different forms in different societies and eras.

Women's mental and social dignity
Since the beginning of human civilization, people have followed the path of religion. Religion awakens understanding in the hearts of people, stabilizes thoughts, builds a framework of values, and leads people towards self-realization through the concept of the afterlife and the Creator. However, many beliefs or customs have developed in this stream of religious practice that are not primarily the teachings of religion, but rather the product of superstitions or social misconceptions. Some superstitions have become so entrenched over time that many have started considering them as part of religion. In this essay, we will review some important religious superstitions and analyze what perspective Islam has on this matter.
