by Bassam Zawadi   There seems to be a Christian who has a problem with the expulsion of Bani Qurayda. Besides the fact that this issue has already been dealt with I just want to address the most important objection, which is the execution of the men of Bani Qurayda. First I urge everyone to first read the article I linked to and understand how significant the crime that the Jews committed against the Muslims was and about how it…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

By Bassam Zawadi     There are some who have argued that there is a contradiction in our hadeeth literature regarding at what age the Prophet (peace be upon him) died.

By Imam Zaid Shakir   Recently, 28 million copies of the anti-Islamic propaganda documentary, Obsession, were distributed free of charge in what are being considered the “swing” states in the current election campaign. This effort is clearly designed to leverage the idea in the minds of some Americans that Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim (he is not), and therefore, he is to be identified with the images and statements of Muslims portrayed in the video.

By Bassam Zawadi   Missionaries raising polemics against Islam have a constant habit of citing from what Muslims deem to be weak sources. They think that the Western historical method is superior to the Muslim’s historical method of verification. Thus, when they examine our Islamic sources they apply their own standards and reach different conclusions than what Muslim scholars have reached.   The two missionaries that have argued this in somewhat more detail than others on the internet or have…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

By Kadafi   The historical distortion perpetrated on historical thinking by Thomas F. Madden is not a new fallacious concept introduced by contemporary Christian revisionists but has been prevalent since the emergence of Islam on world stage. For many centuries, the Christian historians and orientalists directly promulgated lies and fabrications about Islam in order to instil prejudice against the Muslims. And yet in the modern age, Christian fundamentalist historians still continue to carry the flag and propagate indirectly their revisionist…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

By Bassam Zawadi   Some Muslims are facing difficulties with passages such as Surah 2:37, 54, 160 and others, which state that Allah repented. Most, if not all, translations would translate the Arabic word for repent as meaning “relenting towards” or “pardoned”. The reason for this is because that is the correct meaning. In English it does not make sense to say that someone “repented towards” somebody else in a way that implies that he has pardoned that person. However,…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

By Bassam Zawadi   Please note: This paper\u00a0is discussing non-Muslims in general and not exceptions to the general rule. Of course a Musilm can be friends with his non-Muslim wife and with his non-Muslim parents (31:15), etc.   Before I proceed to my article, I want to clarify what I mean by the word “friend”.   Is this article going to argue that Muslims could be friends with disbelievers?

By Bassam Zawadi   Christians love to keep pointing out that stories found in Islamic sources could actually also be found in earlier sources (see here) and by Allah’s grace there have also been Muslims refuting these claims (see here).   I think what these Christians fail to realize is that Islam does teach that it has come to confirm the truth of the previous scriptures. Indeed, some true stories could have found their way into the Bible or other…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
