"Why is there a strict prohibition on idolatry or images and sculptures in Islam?"
“Why is there a strict ban on idolatry or images and sculptures in Islam?” This is a question that arises in the minds of many atheists and non-Muslims and they often say, “Why is painting, making or preserving images prohibited in Islam? These are just expressions of art! So why is Islam so strict on this issue?” Behind this complaint is a tendency in the modern world to cross religious boundaries in the name of free thought. If artistic practice, culture and aesthetics are natural tendencies of humans, then why has Islam imposed certain limits on this issue—our discussion is to find an answer to this question.

In Bed with Hemingway
Everyone knows the adventurous American playboy who became the literary voice of the early nineteen-hundreds. But then again, everyone knows Coca-Cola, Barbie, and the iPhone; it’s no secret that the USA excels at turning its products into international icons.

Slavery in Islam vs. Modern Slavery: Does Freedom Really Exist?
Slavery is a cruel reality in the pages of history. Humans have been bought, sold, and used as mere objects by humans. Slavery was once legal and normal in almost all civilizations of the world—be it Greece and Rome, India, or China. Islam came into that context. But Islam did not support slavery; rather, it gradually showed the way to its extinction through a new moral and social revolution—through humanity, responsibility, and liberation.
