Words that have been hijacked in our “Modern-Society”:
The whole reason for this post is to highlight how powerful language is, whether it is used for positive or negative. My intent is to simply mention a few words, with are originally, inherently, positive/neutral. But, tragically, these words have been hijacked by persons, groups, governments, media, etc., to project specific agendas. What I intend Continue reading

al-Ightisab/Sexual-Abuse is a Crime…no matter who does it!!!
I, as a Muslim, am truly disgusted when I hear about Rape (especially referring to cases of children being assaulted). Things like Rape via the Muslim-World cause Islamophobes to reinforce all of the classic Islamophobic-Rhetoric against Islam.(https://gbwrites.com/2020/10/29/judeochristianislamophobia) We, as Muslims, have a Horrible-Habit of making the Job of Islamophobes easier, by doing things that will Continue reading

The Muslim’s-Guide to converse with Atheists/Anti-Theists
Allah states:”Verily, for the Intelligent, there’s Signs via the Creation of the Heavens&Earth as well as the Separation of Nite&Day.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.190) All of this, but yet there’s Humans whom really think/feel the Universe “created” itself: https://fb.watch/kTBkpa5hCj/?mibextid=Nif5ozhttps://youtu.be/MbazRENktPY [wpvideo lKHdmcGv] Author’s note: Unfortunately, usually, when it comes to the subject of having any form of Continue reading

Water: An Islamic-Treasure!!!
All living things, essentially, rely on water for basic-existence on Earth, making it such a crucial part of our existence; yet, sadly, we take it for granted far too often & even once is one time too many.
