Counting the Minutes

Every single thing we do, every moment of waking awareness, every instant of our lives might carry value, be significant, and be ordered to some meaningful end.

Sophia Vasalou

 

The Sound of Silence

God’s speech is real, true, and authoritative; the speech of anything else, in and of itself, is unreal, false, and unreliable.

William C. Chittick

 

Can an Islamic Natural Theology Explain God’s Silence Today?

In our age of rage and reason, we must examine the implications of the God of Abraham remaining silent, even in the face of widespread rejection.

Shabbir Akhtar

 

Do We Mistake Our Passion for Truth with Its Possession?

God has given the Abrahamic family a window of opportunity to advance beyond sibling rivalry in the direction of fraternal cooperation.

Reuven Kimelman

David Bentley Hart

 

Breaking the Cycle of Oppression

The tyrant in the palace and the bully on the street corner are easy to see, but spotting the tyrant within our own souls is far more challenging.

Muslims Are Not a Race

Many intellectuals believe Islamophobia is a form of racism, but the ultimate presuppositions embedded in this view are antithetical not only to Islam but to religion as such.

Caner K. Dagli

With the end of revelation, Muslim scholars established a framework that allowed us to continue to “hear” God’s word, without the pitfalls of pure fideism on one hand and free interpretation on the other.

Mohammad Fadel

 

Things in Their Proper Places

In Western philosophy, the conversation about justice has been long and winding. How has this conversation proceeded among Muslims?

Zaid Shakir

 

“Everything Other Than God Is Unreal”

A sound ontological argument would show that even without human experience of the world, pure reason itself necessarily arrives at the existence of God.
