    Dis­cov­er­ing The Pagan Ori­gins Of Christmas

    Few people realize that the origins of a form of Christmas was pagan and celebrated in Europe long before anyone there had heard of Jesus (P). No one knows what day Jesus (P) was born on. From the biblical description, most historians believe that his birth probably occurred in September, approximately six months after Passover.…

  • The Soul of Hajj

    What then is hajj? In essence, hajj is man’s evolution toward Allah; his return to Him. It is a symbolic demonstration of the philosophy of creation of Adam (AS: alayhis salam), the first man. To further illustrate this, it may be stated that the performance of hajj is a simultaneous show or exhibit of many…

  • A His­to­ry of Zion­ism and Its Ide­o­log­i­cal Roots

    A His­to­ry of Zion­ism and Its Ide­o­log­i­cal Roots

    This article was written to provide a scholarly analysis on the ideology of Zionism, its origins and purpose, as well as its past "achievements" in having successfully displacing thousands of Palestinians who suddenly lost their homeland to this group of terrorists. We seek to confront and expose the true nature of the ideology of Zionism,…

  • Pope Bene­dict, Islam and Violence

    But why did the Muslim react in such a manner when Pope Benedict repeated something that we are already accustomed to hearing from not so friendly western public figures? After all flamboyant televangelists like Jerry Falwell have said worse things than the Pope –- calling the Prophet of Islam a paedophile and terrorist – yet…

    On Revis­ing Bigotry

    The Con­fer­ence unfolds to the bal­anced mind. Its soul is the hon­or of the search, the equa­nim­i­ty of judg­ment and the breath of beau­ty. Beau­ty is an intri­cate state of bal­ance weighed by the scales of the Lord. The essence of beau­ty is bal­ance, like the equipoise of sight, the resti­tu­tions of love and the…

  • Proof of the Chris­tians’ Covert Cru­sade in Malaysia

    Today, we see Muslims being propositioned by Christian evangelical groups and missionaries relentlessly with a zeal that astounds us. Day by day, they seek out the weak, the poor, the sick, the destitutes amongst the Muslims of Asia and work their way in. Many of these missionaries work under guise of charities and relief effort…

  • Islam on Free­dom of Religion

    Islam on Free­dom of Religion

    Apostasy, apparently a human rights related issue, is highly sensitive to the multi-racial and multi-religious character of Malaysia. It tends to be problematic, untenable to some, especially when it deals with conversion into and out of Islam. It is true, the whole question involves certain legal and social implications. At times, its repercussions appear to…

  • Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls

    Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, authors of The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception, argue that a pacifistic Jesus was very unlikely. As the authors point out, Qumranian phrases flowed from his lips, sometimes word for word. Traditionally, scholars concede that at least some Zealots made up Jesus inner circle. The Bible itself reveals him acting in…

  • Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi”: Why A Dif­fer­ent Yard­stick For Muslims ?

    In the post-9/11 era the Western media are at the forefront of a highly orchestrated assault against Islam and its people. So, I am not too surprised with the Times Online piece trying to raise storm over some 13th century text that are taught at a Shi’ite religious school in London. The subject in question…
