  • Will the Real Demon-Pos­sessed” Prophet Please Stand Up ?

    The fol­low­ing is our par­tial response to the tirade authored by the bel­liger­ent Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun, to be found here. This arti­cle will clear­ly estab­lish Prophet Muham­mad(P) as the true Prophet, insha’Al­lah. In the forth­com­ing papers, we will pro­vide a detailed cri­tique of the shod­dy polemics of the mis­sion­ary, togeth­er with a detailed exam­i­na­tion of his…

  • The Sub­jec­tive Con­scious­ness of Muhammad

    Here we have two notions which appear differently from the point of view of the prophet: the notion of his subjective consciousness, which arises out of his human knowledge, and that of Qur'anic consciousness, which is revealed to him. It is necessary to establish a clear distinction between these two notions in order to better…

One such polemic is with regard to the alle­ga­tion that the Prophet(P) suf­fered from a type of epilep­sy known as tem­po­ral lobe epilep­sy. This charge on the…

  • The Psy­cho­log­i­cal Impact of The Fatrah Experience

    In their hasty attempt to obfuscate and attack anything that invalidates their claims regarding the Prophet's (P) experiences during the period known as the Fatrah, the Christian missionary Sam Shamoun had released a verbal barrage of rhetorical nonsense in his (ridiculously-)titled "A Christian Perspective[!] of the Fatrah of Muhammad". Needless to mention, it is neither…

    The Fatrah : Inter­mis­sion of the Prophet Muhammad

    In between the peri­od of time when the Prophet Muham­mad(P) received his first Rev­e­la­tion dur­ing the Night of Pow­er (lay­lat al-qadr) and when he final­ly received the sec­ond Rev­e­la­tion, the Prophet(P) showed signs of being dis­tressed and dis­turbed by this peri­od of silence from the Heav­ens. This peri­od of time is known as the Fatrah,…

  • Of Pre­pu­bes­cent Girls and Moral Impli­ca­tions : The Young Mar­riage of Aisha

    Of Pre­pu­bes­cent Girls and Moral Impli­ca­tions : The Young Mar­riage of Aisha

    Unfor­tu­nate­ly, in today’s cli­mate, there seems to be a sig­nif­i­cant focus among Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies and Islam­o­phobes on dis­cred­it­ing Islam. This is espe­cial­ly true when dis­cussing the mar­riage of Muham­mad(P) to Aisha(R), a top­ic that seems to be under more crit­i­cism now than ever before. As a result, we are see­ing a mul­ti­tude of mis­in­ter­pre­ta­tions and dis­tor­tions aimed at twist­ing…
