Signs to look for that you’re dealing with a Religio-Sectarian Cult/Cultist

al-Muqaddimah/Prelude I remember when I was a Young-Person, at a Masjid/Mosque which no longer exists now. I was there for the Weekly-Khutbah/Islāmic-Sermon on Yawm-il-Jumuah/the Day-Of-Gathering (Friday). While upon the Minbar/Speaker’s-Platform, the Khatīb/Speaker stated something which has been etched in my Sadr/Mind&Heart…not a Positive-Thing by the way.

What if Muslim Sectarian-Groups were Diseases or Drugs?!!!

Author’s-Note: “And cling to the Rope-Of-Allah, altogether & don’t separate.”…”Verily, those whom entertain Sectarian-Groups I’m not with them.”.(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.103; Chpt.6, V.65) For more Info. regarding the Context of these Revelatory-Texts: www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2021/12/23/hizbiyyah/ I’ve often wondered to myself, the question that I’ve chosen to title this article. I’ve wondered it, because, it seems to me, and Continue reading

What is “Islāmic-Feminism”/What is a “Muslim-Feminist”?!!!

Author’s note: Since Feminism has taken a very significant foothold, within the greater Muslim-World, in our modern-age, as a direct-result of the atrocities brought on by Misogyny, many Muslims, both Men & Women, whom are religiously in favor of Feminism, have decided to coin the term “Islamic-Feminism/Muslim-Feminist”, to identify with the greater Feminist-Movement, with an Continue reading

It’s okay to be Non-Sectarian: The Muslim’s guide to stay Sect-free

Author’s note: This particular article is exclusively based upon a discussion which I had with one of my Facebook followers.

The Perfect-Solution to the whole “Ahl-ul-Bayt” Issue:

Author’s-Note: I hear Muslims (all the damn time) debate about this issue, so unnecessarily. So, what I’ve decided to do is the following: do some actual, honest, unbiased, historically true, research as to who the Ahl-ul-Bayt truly are. And, once you embark upon this type of research, you’ll learn so much about the actual Ahl-ul-Bayt, Continue reading
