    The Prophet's ﷺ Marriage to Zaynab bint Jaḥsh

    The Prophet’s ﷺ marriage to Zaynab bint Jaḥsh (rA) stands unique among all of his marriages because of its explicit pronouncement in the Qur’an. Despite the stated theological, social, and legal goals the Qur’an posits as the reason for its contraction, the marriage has remained a topic of contention for centuries. This paper examines the many internal and external contradictions that characterize the story, many of which render the lovestruck narrative logistically unfeasible. It will ...

    The Age of Aisha (ra): Rejecting Historical Revisionism and Modernist Presumptions

    There are a myriad of criticisms against Islam propagated by non-Muslims in today’s age. One of these criticisms accuses the Prophet ﷺ of marrying a child because of the ḥadīth mentioned in Bukhārī and Muslim. This paper focuses on two questions. First, are the claims that she was actually in her teens when she married accurate and are they strong enough to make us discard ʿĀʾisha’s ḥadīth? Second, why did this become an issue in modern times when it was not an issue at the time the marriage ...

    What is a Madhhab?

    Many modern Muslims view the Islamic legal tradition as needing a complete overhaul with many among them calling to bypass the madhhabs in favor of the Qur’an and Sunnah. This approach is based on the incorrect assumption that the maddhabs are not evidence-based but simply the guesswork or opinions of a few jurists. This paper on Exploring the Role of Islamic Schools of Law will explain what the madhhabs are, how they emerged and what their function is in Islamic law. Learn about the importan...

    Are All Religions the Same?

    Is Islam the final form of Allah’s guidance, meant to replace everything before it? Or is Islam, as is understood through the lens of perennialism, merely one valid religion amongst others?This paper on Islam and the False Promise of Perennialism contextualizes perennialism as a response to the problem of religious diversity and evaluates this response in light of Islam’s own solution.

    Understanding Aisha’s Age: An Interdisciplinary Approach

    In recent years, few criticisms of Islam have taken the spotlight as much as condemnations of the Prophet’s marriage to Aisha. Muslims are accused of following the example of a man who had inappropriate relations with a 9-year-old girl. However, this criticism is based on fallacious reasoning.This paper elucidates the flawed nature of accusations of the Prophet’s alleged immorality as well as how Islam teaches us to adapt the message of the Qur’an to changing circumstances.Note: The audio fil...

    The Prophecies of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: Proofs of Prophethood Series

    Some of the greatest and most convincing testimonies to the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ are the numerous occasions on which he correctly predicted future events. Only one to whom God had granted access to the realm of the unseen could have, time and again, accurately foretold the future. This paper will seek to capture some of these predictions—all derived from Qur’anic verses and authentic hadith—and how each one of them came to pass, just as he ﷺ predicted.Note: The audio files are generated ...

    The Issue of Apostasy in Islam

    One of the most common accusations leveled against Islam involves the freedom of religion. The problem, according to critics: Islam doesn’t have any.So what are these critics talking about? Like the issues of stoning and hand chopping, apostasy—the generic act of renouncing or leaving one’s religion—in Islam can only be understood if one is willing to look beyond provocative headlines and delve into the nature of how jurisprudence developed in the pre-modern world and in Islam in particular.N...

    The Character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: How His Noble Qualities and Personality Are Proof of His Prophethood

    The Bible reports that Jesus Christ (as) offered logical criteria for distinguishing true prophets from false ones. Through that criteria the Prophet Jesus (as) may have intended that actions speak louder than words about a person’s character, and therefore the personal conduct of a true prophet must be good. He may have also intended that the positive impact of his teachings on others would be good, or that the message itself must be a clear call to purity and goodness. The beauty of analyzi...
