Where have the Muslim clergy taken the global Muslim community?

To confusion, innovation, oppression, sexism, radicalisation, terrorism, even disbelief, and still I hear ‘Ask the people of knowledge!’ – a completely misquoted and misunderstood part of a Quranic verse (See my blog on this for further details).

Everyone has their own ‘scholars’ they are following, people with good intentions, who are in fact, through opinions as opposed to facts, leading people away, further from the truth. This website is a humble attempt to get back to the actual religion, for us as Muslims to think for ourselves, to follow the Quran instead of people, and to look at what our true Imam, the Prophet, did in his lifetime.

I invite you to come on this journey with me. It may not be an easy one but nothing ever worth doing is.

‘To enjoin good and forbid evil’ – A phrase most Muslims are familiar with and the banner under which any ‘haraam’ police* operate. But, despite it being such a widespread belief and saying, do we really understand what it means? We know it is mentioned in the Qur’an as a characteristic of … Continue reading To enjoin good & forbid evil… What DOES it actually mean?

Does a Muslim woman NEED a man in order to travel?

May 30, 2019May 30, 2019 by Evidence seeker, posted in Travel

Many ‘scholars’ claim a Muslim woman is only permitted to travel with a man whom she cannot marry (‘a mahram’). While some propagate that this is the case for any travelling, others believe she can travel within a specified distance. They differ as to how far this is, with a range spanning from 25 to … Continue reading Does a Muslim woman NEED a man in order to travel?
