Welcome to Bismika Allahuma: Muslim Responses To Anti-Islam Polemics, a Muslim apologetics website website dedicated to Islamic apologetics and counter missionary efforts. Our mission is to address and refute the myriad of misleading criticisms and misrepresentations of Islam, primarily propagated by Christian missionaries and their Islamophobia allies. This platform was meticulously crafted to serve as a comprehensive resource for Muslims worldwide, offering accurate, articulate, and authoritative responses to counteract the false narratives spread by critics such as Nabeel Qureshi, David Wood, Sam Shamoun, and anti-Islamic platforms in the likes of Answering Islam and Ali Sina. By engaging directly with these criticisms through Islamic apologetics, Bismika Allahumma aspires to dismantle the misinformation surrounding Islam and showcase the religion's true essence—a religion that champions peace, compassion, and a profound sense of justice. Through scholarly research, traditional Islamic teachings, and contemporary insights, we craft insightful Islamic apologetic responses that not only challenge the baseless allegations but also promote a deeper understanding of Islamic principles and beliefs.
As a counter missionary initiative, our website is a treasure trove of comparative religion resources designed to deepen one's understanding of Islam and equip individuals with well-reasoned arguments and perspectives. We host a wide array of articles, videos, and publications covering the Islamic faith, history, and culture, curated to enlighten visitors about the richness and diversity of Islam. As Islam is now the fastest growing religion in the world, it should come as no surprise that some organisations and people would view it as a threat to their respective ideologies. Furthermore, the Bismika Allahumma mission is amplified through our affiliated YouTube channel, The Muslim Apologist, and its corresponding website, extending our reach and enabling us to engage with a wider audience. These platforms feature debates, lectures, and Q&A sessions, addressing common misconceptions and clarifying complex topics, thus fostering a dynamic space for dialogue and understanding through Muslim apologetics.
Bismika Allahuma commitment to Muslim apologetics and counter missionary work fosters a more informed and respectful dialogue around Islam. We are committed to defending the integrity of Islam while promoting a message of peace and mutual respect through Islamic apologetics. By exploring our content, readers can gain a comprehensive view of Islam, moving beyond the simplistic and often distorted portrayals in mainstream media. Join us in our endeavour to promote a more informed and respectful understanding of Islam in the global discourse.
This is a collection of articles in Qur’anic studies by some of the most influential early pioneers in the field : Noldeke’s famous article for the Britannica (9th edition, 1891); Caetani’s study of the “Uthmanic recension tradition” (1915); Mingana’s : “Three Ancient Korans” (1914) and “The Transmission of the Koran” (1916); four seemingly idiosyncratically chosen articles by Arthur…
“CyberMuslima” (Pseudonym) I intended this to be a short essay piece, a review of sorts pointing out the most grievous sections of this book. However, as I read on, looking for quotes to use, I found that I could neither highlight any one part of the book nor could I make it short. This book is so wrong, and there is…
Since this book has come up as a topic, and I have read it, I thought, insha’allah, I’d write my impressions. I ordered the book sight unseen because I like reading sirah and I liked the title. Its kind of dramatic. Dashti appears to have been born Muslim but according to the translator’s introduction, it appears he rejected Islam for “patriotism”…
[i.e., Die Syro-Aramäische Lesart des Koran : Ein Beitrag zur Entschlüsselung der Koransprache] François Clément de Blois The title of this book announces a new ‘reading’ of the Qur’an and the subtitle promises ‘a contribution to the decoding of the language of the Qur’an.’ The author’s theses are summarised succinctly in his ‘resum?’ (pp. 299 – 307): the Qur’an is…
M. Shahid Alam It would appear from the fulsome praise heaped by mainstream reviewers on Bernard Lewis’s most recent and well-timed book, What Went Wrong ? Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response (Oxford University Press, 2002), that the demand for Orientalism has reached a new peak. America’s search for new enemies that began soon after the end…
A Review of Judith Miller’s “God Has Ninety-Nine Names : Reporting From a Militant Middle East” The Nation, August 12⁄19, 1996 Judith Miller is a New York Times reporter much in evidence on talk shows and seminars on the Middle East. She trades in “the Islamic threat” — her particular mission has been to advance the millennial thesis that militant Islam…
In Qur’aanic sciences, it refers to the various ways and manners of reciting the Qur’aan that are in existence today. As Imaam az-Zarkashee stated, the Qur’aan is the revelation that was given to Muhammad (PBUH), and the qira’aat are the variations in the words and pronunciations of this revelation. Thus the qira’aat are the verbalisation…
