In the name of God, the provider, the wise Welcome 🙏 In this [video]|[📺] I compare translations of chapter 108 of the #Quran in #English.

In the name of God, the wise, the source of peace. It's news to many folks that the Qur'an is an argument. Before I was led to the Qur'an, I was a budding student of philosophy. My history prior to that was trinitarian baptist christianity, Al'hamdulilah! God was kind enough to introduce me to so many lovely people and fun along the way. At any rate, it was in my university years that I learnt about philisophical argumentation, and logic in particular, and that piqued my interest. God be pr...

Obviously, over the years, completely out of it kinda parents, however, also over the years, unbelievably loving, resilient, strong, principled and all sorts of other amazing qualities type of parents. I did a quick "keyword search" for parents in the Monotheist Group's translation of the Qur'an and these were the verses that turned up. I've added my own "commentary" below, and it represents my thoughts as of th...

I never used to do this in the past. Certainly not the way I'm doing it now. Wha? Qur'an and "Islam" research on the world wide web. I stayed clear from it. Not that I didn't care about the subjects and topics, however I was acutely aware (paranoid 🤔) of the browser tracking, YouTube watch history, blah, blah, blah. I was super selective about my sources of information. That bit is out the window now. Not that I don't care about privacy and "where I get my news from" and things like that, I ...

[49:11] O you who believe, let not any people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or insult each other with nicknames; miserable indeed is the name of wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors. [49:12] O you who believe, you shall greatly avoid suspicion-some suspicion is sinful. And do not spy on one another, ...
