Tackling science narrators of our age such as Lawrence M. Krauss, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Sean M. Carroll and Richard Dawkins, this book appeals commonly to all students of science & religion, Atheists or otherwise. Clearly, it is a book tailormade to serve every Christian, Jewish and Muslim house.

Because of Sam Harris’s literacy of an extreme context which he identifying to a culture, he sees, he comes to declare: these hard-fought feats were outcomes of secular achievement of the scientific world. In fact, to his surprise which were uprisings due to the civil rights movements first fought by the blacks themselves (I don’t know if it is correct to call it a secular-scientific movement). Sam then caricatures generalizations of this context upon religions of the world, especially Islam to strike Prophet Muhammad- a model example of humanity.

The severe storms that we are getting to witness aren’t just the tail-end of a deformed-climate model. If it was so perhaps high-energy Earthquakes hadn’t followed suit in similar exhibition, as it stands clearly explainable that these two sources of energy dissipation are miles unallied.

Strong-willed people who can defeat respective potential to arrogance will never miss-out on this equation to construct faith: if they are at the brink of dropping it; before, the risen outcry of pseudo-science rhetoric. A little reflection on two great historical figures Christ and Muhammad, blessings of God on them, implies logical-reasoning as the first step in achieving- Unfailing faith in Almighty God. Arriving at faith owing to logical reasoning is an inexhaustible area to deal with. But the focus of this article is to elucidate the important relation between Christ and Muhammad that bears the impetus to deliver faith for an agnostic mind.

Domestic violence is a societal problem in many countries. But in the Muslim world it is divinely ordained and justified by the Quran, claims wikiislam. Islamophobia of this nature to tarnish and vandalise Quran has been an old strategy. But the evidential findings of human behaviour are enough to scrap those files. Why did God in Quran order wife-beating while the Western’s suffer the same syndrome without divine ordinance?

Democratic civil discourses known as Shurah (mutual consultations), is the essence of the Quranic teachings ordained for Mankind. Westerners, define their successes by these principles, although Islam in Western countries did not partake in bricking it. The Quranic concept of democratic civil discourses known as ‘Shurah (mutual consultations)’ is emphatically appreciative of a multi cultural conglomerate, clearly accommodative of dissenting religious beliefs and expressly sensitive to peoples preferences but contextually non secular in nature. An entire chapter is enshrined in it exhorting people to equity, mutual consultation and appraisal.

Indian Minorities must be aware of the constitution before it is changed beyond recognition. Dear Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and all minorities living in India, this is your country whether you like it or not. You represent and belong to your religion whether you are religious or not. When your rights, freedom and sovereignty is encroached and your very lives be in danger, the communal forces will not see if a Muslim is a Tableeghi, Islami or ehle hadeesi. Or even Shia, Sunni or Ahmadi. They will not see if a Christian is a Protestant or a Catholic or which sect of Sikhism one belongs.
If one has even a little understanding of what’s happening to minorities in India and in many parts of the world, then it’s clear how tough these times are for them. Thinkers and ponderers among the minorities should realise how bleak the future is if things continue as they are today. Things will continue that way unless steps are taken to check unregulated power dominance by stronger communities over the weaker. It is not a democracy when this happens. Unlike Europe or other countries where normally, a person’s life cannot be violated, there is very little that one can do in India when the communal government targets the Minorities.

In relation to building a Multi-Faith Association in my opinion there is no parallel way to what God admonishes for respectful coexistence of humans that there is no assurance of success in the hereafter based on one’s identity alone. Or belonging to a specific faith group does not qualify us to receive the best in the life to come. The striving (Jihad) for self-elation from the vices and known-lows of human nature perhaps will only guarantee security before the Lord of the worlds.
Quran iterates a law from God to mankind, that if any believes in God alone as the provider of life and death: thus, frees himself from inventing newer gods and then graduates to practice righteousness in his life. In which case, he can hope for a good bargain and he can be sure that God is loving him- regardless of his named identity or non-subscription to any faith.

Question 1- In biological mutations how did some species evolve with inter-dependency and some with in-dependency concerning nourishment of their offspring post-natal period?
Question 2- How did their instincts even align to observe the change of offspring needing nourishment? In other words how capable are random genetic mutations aided by natural selection to induce responsibilities to wean & care toward offspring?

What does it take for God to drive severe climate- A clear violation of His laws. Which is very complex, but needs to be studied and understood to avoid similar fates of former people. Then, as they stand violated God issues a command and the climate begins to form to overwhelm the target. In case of Thamud it took 3 days to arrange the means and as enormous clouds overshadowed them. Then from the midst of this gloom a thunderbolt jolted them arresting their lives and sparing none of those who transgressed.

To be precise the context before the verse 26 is further evidence that these words do mean to refer to their abilities to perceive weather phenomenon. The verse 24 indicates the ‘Aad saw and perceived the clouds to give good rainfall but then God’s purpose to destroy was realised on them.

For ‘Aad the weather had turned severely violent. If we were to experience that today in any of the regions on Earth, we will be sure to attribute its severity to Global Warming and greenhouse effect. But nothing of it was the subject of their discussions. They saw it trailing in the sky as the clouds that will profit them but alas! God best describes the stealth despite their abilities to weather forecast. Even to this day with the state of the art, modern technology we are often frustrated by our inconsistent weather predictions as we are surprised almost every often.

But, the premise that 1°C rise in global temperature is solely responsible for violent weather is questionable. Storms and other inflictions are from God. God would still send it our way despite temperatures plummeting to historic global normal.

“It is not about stopping the boats or deterring people smugglers but it is about bringing to end the excruciating state crimes against a people that is causing large scale displacements.” Don’t they learn from the Atheist (strong ones), as they maintain silent attitude over issues concerning human depravity in case they are choosing not be altruistic or as they don’t stand out for their advocacy: Pauline could keep quiet similarly. Faith isn’t merely via advancing lip service. It won’t be praised by Almighty God. It is expected out of us to bring forth good and conduct rightly-with concerning others. The fact is mostly Australians don’t even believe in karma, scientifically advanced materialism has superseded the belief system by-far in greater measures…

But accordingly, on a program called the Jewish voice on God-TV. Data aired few years prior to the culmination of rebellion in Syria foretold dire happenings to come. It revealed that the Zionists aimed to reduce the Arabs to infighting in eventual hopes to realise the Biblical view of a greater-Israel. That would extend beyond Syrian territories well into Iraq and up to the river Euphrates. Thus, the Saudi royal’s controlled religious machinery seated in Madinah have acted in sincerity to this agenda generating the cause of Jihad in the Muslim world to fight the fellow Muslims. If Saddam .H was at cross-roads that permitted them to aid the USA-led coalition for invasion for black gold more than any humanitarian liberation so did every other neighbouring Kingdom that dissented has come under attack. B. Al-Asad in Syria didn’t deserve rebellion any less than the Royal Kingdom in Saudi that is due to deserve. But for the folly of the Muslim world led by Salafis and puritans the Muslim life continues to limbo under stake. Sunni Arabs are only marshalled to infighting and fighting the Shias perhaps merely for a puritanical Salafi view.
Read moreSecularism, per wordweb online is “a doctrine that rejects religion and religious considerations”. Albeit, secularism has regional differences in its interpretation. For example, in Indian subcontinent secularism is the celebration of plurality of various religions. India is a secular country under its constitution which awards ethnic religions and cultures to have their respective polities. On the other hand, the western progressive rhetoric seems to purge the influence of religion out of public forums and political institutions in their interpretation of what secularism means to them.
Undeniably, Islam as a religion did present its own secular stage during its reign. Fundamentally its model of democracy was clear and upright, which is clearly not the case with contemporary democracies unfortunately. In that it restored immunity to traditional religions and cultures to continue their pursuits and respective governances undeterred by its advances. For more information read further.

Question – One of God’s names is The Just. But even though I try my best to be a good person and to be kind to people, I get hurt by others and suffer a lot of hardship in my life. Where is justice in that? Life doesn’t seem very fair to me.
Answer – Is life unfair? Of course it’s unfair. Where is the justice in this world? A man can murder and steal, and still live a luxurious life, full of wealth and fame, and then eventually die without any worldly punishment. On the other hand, a man can live a peaceful life, being nothing but kind, patient, and helpful, and eventually die without any recognition or appreciation. Truly, there is no justice in this world, and the Quran even confirms that. God Almighty says regarding the day of Judgment: “On This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today!” Quran 40:17
In other words, in the hereafter, there is no injustice, which implies that perhaps prior to that, in this life, there is injustice. But does that mean that God himself is unjust? No. Read more to know.

Question- It seems unfair that people who were born non-Muslim will go to Hell fire on the day of judgement, while I will go to paradise just for being born Muslim, they didn’t get the same chance that I got.
Answer- First of all, regarding yourself as a Muslim: who says that just because you are a Muslim you’ll automatically enter paradise? It is true that most religions teach people that if they merely believe, they will enter paradise, and by that, they will attain salvation in the hereafter. Islam, on the other hand, considers faith to be essential, but not sufficient by itself. So, one can be a Muslim; believing that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger, and still enter Hell-fire. That is because salvation, in Islam, is like a bird that flies with two wings: one is faith and the other is good deeds. The expression: “Those who believe and do righteous deeds” is mentioned multiple times in the Quran. The two are always associated with each other. So, regarding those who have not received the message, and do not know about Islam, or those who have only heard a distorted version of Islam, you should not worry about them. Allah is just.
