  • The Islamic concept of faith

    The basis of any religion is faith. Faith is not merely conviction of the truth of a given principle, but it is essentially the acceptance of a principle as a basis for action.

  • The myth of 'self organization of matter'

    Quite aware that the Second Law of Thermodynamics renders evolution impossible, some evolutionist scientists have made speculative attempts to close the gap between the two, so as to render evolution possible.

  • The evolutionist’s myth of homology

    Structural similarities between different species are called “homology” in biology. Evolutionists try to present those similarities as evidence for evolution.

  • Islam stands the test of history

    Muslims claims that Islam is the eternal religion. Any claim of this kind invites people to judge its validity on historical grounds. If latter day history testifies to its claim, it stands endorsed, otherwise it must be rejected. Marxism in the 20th century CE is a clear-cut example of historical rejection.
