Compilation of AhadithIt is a common misconception amongst people that ahadith were collected and written down after 200 years of Prophet Muhammad (SallAllah-u-Alaihi-Wa-Sallam)’s death. This misconception has created suspicions among people regarding the authenticity of ahadith. Ahadith were compiled and written down since the time of Prophet Muhammad (SallAllah-u-Alaihi-wa-Sallam), and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) had their own scrolls or books, with the help of these scrolls and books other ahadith books were compiled later on ...
Who is Allah?Some of the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam is to do with the word "Allah". For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God" - and there is only One God. Let there be no doubt - Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all ...
The Presence of The Word "ALLAH" in Arabic BibleThe word "Allah" appears in both the Quranic verses and Bible verses. Indeed, the word "Allah" appears throughout Arabic translations of the Bible, since it is simply the Arabic name for Almighty God. Insha'llah, the examples in the article will help quell the doubts of those who have been duped into believing that "Muslims worship a different god" - either by the hostile media or by Christian missionary propaganda ...
The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) in Hindu ScripturesOne Hindu research professor, in his stunning book, claims that the description of Avatar found in the holy books of Hindu religion is infact that of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). The author produces sound evidences from the Vedas and other holy books of Hindu religion in support of his claim ...
Abusing IslamThis article is dedicated to those who insist on misusing the names of "Islam" and "Muslim" either intentionally or in ignorance. In this article, it is tried to briefly show how many "religious" groups around the world who use the name of Islam are in fact clearly and absolutely in violation of certain basic principles contained in the Qur'an and Sunnah ...
Disturbing Questions About IslamJust one Example of hypocrisy, lies and falsehood of the Christian missionaries, and in particular the infidel Smith, whose papers are rampant with such falsehoods. We pray that Allah allows us to expose every single one of their lies to the world, and especially to those who innocently trust their slanderous writings, so the truth can be known ...
Orientalism, Misinformation and IslamThe phenomenon which is generally known as Orientalism is but one aspect of Western misrepresentations of Islam. Now a days, large volume of distorted information about Islam comes from the media, whether in newspapers, magazines or on television ...

Answering ChristianityAs you surf the internet you will quickly realize that there are several Christian web sites which are targeted towards Muslims. For the most part they are very aggressive and thier sole purpose is to instill doubts in the Muslim's heart as to the truth of Islam and that only Christianity is the path to salvation. In fact there is one group that calls itself "Agressive Christianity". This group has some especially hateful things to say about Islam. Also, many other Christian groups are openly practicing deception towards unwary Muslims and we need to become aware ...
The New TestamentMany, says Elliot, have "fondly argued that, of the myriad textual variants in our fund of extant mss., few affect key doctrinal matters". He adds that if they read Ehrman, they will find that "the text was regularly adjusted in such areas as the birth of Jesus, the agony in the garden, the institution of the Eucharist, Jesus's death, his cry of dereliction, resurrection and ascension. And these adjustments were made not by those who were labelled as heretics, but by the 'proto-orthodox', the use Ehrman's term" ...
Is Jesus an Arab Muslim?Jesus taught to rinse before Praying as Muslims do [John 13:10]. Jesus bowed down in Submission on the Ground to God as Muslims do [Matthew 26:39]. Jesus said, all of You who submit your will to God, are my true Brothers and Sisters [Mark 3:31-35], as Muslims do. Jesus taught Salvation comes from Submitting your will to God and Faith, as Muslims do [Matthew 7:21-23] ...
Is Jesus God?For the Christians, the only documents accepted as reporting the words of Jesus are the accounts given in the Bible. However, there are no sayings of Jesus where he claimed "I am God" or "Worship me". All quotations used to prove that Jesus is divine are implicit i.e. they require interpretation. We are told what Jesus said and then told what he meant. The evidence that is presented by the Christians is either inadequate, inconclusive, ambiguous, or unacceptable ...
Christian Scholars Recognize ContradictionsDr. W Graham Scroggie of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, a prestigious Christian evangelical mission, says: "..Yes, the Bible is human, although some out of zeal which is not according to knowledge, have denied this.Those books have passed through the minds of men, are written in the language of men, were penned by the hands of men and bear in their style the characteristics of men...."
Criticism of Hadith and SunnahDuty of the Prophet other than delivering the Quran was also to explain its meanings and to teach how one should follow it. And if the Sunnah or Ahaadeeth of the Prophet are set aside then from Where? is one supposed to get the answers regarding the "Hikmah" or Wisdom of The Quran. Is it from, what every Tom Dick and Harry thinks! ...
Celebrating The Prophet's BirthdayObservance of the 12th of Rabi'ul-Awwal as a religious feast is not warranted by any verse of the Holy Qur'an or by any teaching of the Holy Prophet. Had it been a part of the religion it would have been clearly ordered or practiced by the Holy Prophet, and his blessed companions or, at least, by their immediate pupils. But no example of the celebration of the occasion can be traced out in the early centuries of the Islamic history ...
A Debate Over Celebrating Prophet's BirthdayBeing right or wrong is one aspect of a discussion, but see how blind following can affect an individual's ability to research. It blocks the mind and intellect and becomes a hinderance in reading and investigating as is evident in this article ...
Misconceptions About SlaughteringMuslims from all over the world offer Qurbani and donate the goat skins to various organizations. These organizations after selling the goat skins help the oppressed people. Moreover the money earned from these goat skins is used to propagate Islamic teachings and help the poor patients who are dying in hospitals. Recently many people including innocent children were dying with hunger in Afghanistan due to an unfair embargo imposed upon them by USA and their allies (although they speak very highly of themselves regarding Human Rights). At this time it was the meat of Qurbani from the sacrifices of Muslims that helped the Afghanis ...
Logic Behind HijabO Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of believers to let down upon them there over-garments. This is more proper, so that they may be known, and not be given trouble. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful [Al-Qur'an]
Sexual Abuse of WomenYou may not believe me but I will still try my best to make you believe that Islamic injunctions regarding women's issues are very sensible. This article contains an excerpt from a report by the Human Rights Watch, which drops a hint about the outcome of the system which many think is better than Islam ...
Who Saves? Allah or Jesus!The tithing taking Church has conceived the notion that Jesus is the only Savior. But Jesus, the Servant of Allah, himself displayed with his words and actions for those who seek knowledge, that he was a sign from The True Savior i.e. Allah ...
Why We Die?The Gospel leads some Christians to believe that Eve is the cause of all death on earth. Their interpretation is that all of God's creation was made perfect, immortal. Then when Eve sinned, she was no longer perfect, no longer immortal, consequently passing death through out the earth. But the archeological scientists gave us evidence through the Fossil records clearing the felony accusations towards Eve. Fossils give us solid proof that death existed and occurred millions of years before the existence of humans. The oldest human fossil, the homo habilis skeleton has been dated to be 2 million years old, showing that humans are relatively the youngest life forms on earth ...
Is God Afraid of us?Through out the Old Testament, Prophets displayed bravery in the face of death, David and Goliath [1 Samuel 21:9], Noah and the Flood [Genesis 7:6], Moses and Pharaoh [Exodus 10:1], etc... We also see in Islam, many incidences where Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) did not fear death. Yet in the New Testament, we see Jesus who some Christians claim is God, consistently fearing death ...
Incomplete Gospel?Gospel underwent Distortion, Addition and Omission. Even Jesus admits that Scribes omitted things from the Bible ...
Has The Gospel Borrowed From Previous Scriptures?It is curious that Christian writers will recount a long list of miracles and remarkable incidents in the life of Apollonius of Tyana, the Cappadocian saviour, forming a parallel to those of the Christian saviour, yet say not a word about his crucifixion. They find it necessary to omit the crucifixion of these saviours fearing that telling would lessen the spiritual force of the crucifixion of Christ, which has to be unique. They thus exalted the tradition of the crucifixion into the most important dogma of the Christian faith. Hence, their efforts to conceal from the public the fact that it is of pagan origin ...
