Thoughts
The history of religion is an integral part of the history of human evolution. Since the dawn of human civilization, people have pondered over their own existence, the purpose of life, and the relationship between creation and the Creator. As a result of that contemplation, various religions have emerged. Although the external appearance of religions has changed due to time, culture, and geographical differences, one thing is very noticeable — all religions emphasize some basic human qualities. Such as: kindness, self-control, justice, altruism, and faith in a supreme power. These common principles prove that the guidance given by the Creator is essentially one and the same, although its manifestation has been in different forms in different societies and eras.

Women's mental and social dignity
Since the beginning of human civilization, people have followed the path of religion. Religion awakens understanding in the hearts of people, stabilizes thoughts, builds a framework of values, and leads people towards self-realization through the concept of the afterlife and the Creator. However, many beliefs or customs have developed in this stream of religious practice that are not primarily the teachings of religion, but rather the product of superstitions or social misconceptions. Some superstitions have become so entrenched over time that many have started considering them as part of religion. In this essay, we will review some important religious superstitions and analyze what perspective Islam has on this matter.

How true is the idea?
Atheists and non-Muslims have many complaints about Islam, some of which are presented through scientific or philosophical arguments, while others arise from preconceptions, confusion, or misrepresentations of Islam. One of the most common of these complaints is: “Islam promotes violence and is hostile to non-Muslims.” This complaint has been raised many times in various media outlets, in the writings of Islamophobic intellectuals, or in the political landscape of religious division. In this article, I will analyze this complaint in depth and see how much of this idea is true, how much is exaggerated, and how much is the result of misinterpretation.

Ignorance
Some superstitions prevalent in the name of religion and the relevant position of Islam: Part II In the history of human civilization, on the one hand, religion has been established as a means of teaching morality, values, and humanity, on the other hand, some mistakes and superstitions have also been embedded in society in the name of religion, which are contrary to mainstream religious teachings and rational consciousness. Most of these have come as a result of ignorance, greed for power, or attempts to maintain social control. In this article, we will analyze some more mistakes or superstitions prevalent in some religions and finally see what Islam says about them.

There is a surprising similarity even amidst the differences.
In the history of human civilization, religion has been a force that has driven people to search for morality, meaning of life, relationships, self-purification and an ultimate truth. Various religions have emerged in different nations and territories, in different historical contexts. But if we look deeply, we see that there is a surprising similarity amidst the various differences — all religions in one way or another call people to morality, good deeds, kindness, self-control and a search for a supreme power. These similarities tell us that the fundamental purpose of religion is to guide people on the path of human welfare, self-purification and ultimate truth.

Women should be subordinate to men.
Allegation: The Quran says that women should be subordinate to men, so Islam is misogynistic and patriarchal. Many anti-Islamic and atheistic circles repeatedly raise an old allegation to prove that Islam is ‘misogynistic’—that is, the Quran says that “women are subordinate to men,” and that Islam oppresses women, does not give them freedom, and has made women a kind of ‘second-class citizen.’ Behind this propaganda, they usually quote one or two specific verses and ignore the rest of the previous and subsequent statements, trying to establish Islam as a patriarchal, conservative, and discriminatory religion. However, the real truth is that Islam has given women such respect, dignity, and rights that were unimaginable in the seventh century, and modern ‘feminism’ has still failed to establish an equal balance.

The person praying must be a true Muslim.
“A true Muslim must be a true Muslim”—this sentence is not just a religious advice, but rather a real truth at the heart of the Islamic way of life, a fundamental principle, rooted deep in the Quran and Sunnah. Prayer is one of the five pillars of Islam, but to keep this pillar strong requires a heart that is filled with reverence and fear of Allah, and a life in which prayer is not just a formality, but a translation of ideals and character.

Infrared-Seeing Contact Lenses Turn Humans into Night Visionaries
Seeing Contact Lenses Turn Humans into Night Visionaries What if you could see in the dark—without goggles, flashlights, or even turning on a lamp? Sounds like a superpower, right? Well, science is making that dream a reality. Thanks to the latest advances in nanotechnology and materials science, infrared-seeing contact lenses are now being developed to let humans see beyond the visible spectrum, right into the infrared.

The Tale of Cat and Donkey
In a quiet valley nestled between golden fields and whispering woods lay a peaceful little farm. Here lived an old donkey named Hooves, who had once hauled wagons and plowed fields, but now spent his days lounging under apple trees, chewing grass, and dreaming of the past.
