Purpose of this blog

On internet being exposed to different view of Islam and Islamophobia really concerned me. Specially locally in Pakistan various ideologies  are spreading in parallel among people that is created lots of confusion I created this blog to address these issues Inshallah and I will be more focused on local issues.

Heterodox Ideologies

Will discuss deviant ideologies that are being spread in the name of Islam and contrast them to orthodox Islam aka. Sunni/Salafi.

Modern Contentions

Modern contentions being put forward by west to Islam like beating of wife, slavery, homosexuality and apostasy. I will reply them from orthodox Islam's point of view.

Revisionist Ideologies

I will discuss here ideologies like humanist, secularism, moderate Islam, modern Islam and Quran-only Muslims.

Modernism has absolutely nothing to do with “getting with the times”. The people who advocate this idea are simply deprived of any knowledge. Modernism in this field is what many academics have coined as “a break from tradition” of which can entail being against religious, political, or social views. There are other clausal appellations that can be applied to all or most modernists of the world and some of them can actually be applied to people who are targeted in this present work.  Aspects of modernism include certain principles which consist for example like “modernists believe that reason, not religion, is the final authority”.

Irreligiousness

Most important of all. Although the above mentioned issues have many links to this. They might be intermediary stage to this. But this is spreading quickly in a particular mindset. A mindset which is obsessed with empiricism i.e.science is only tool for making conclusion. And yet most of them are filled with outdated cliches. Whether they call themselves atheist, agnostic or deist. They all have a problem with religion. According to them anyone who follows a religion is backward, living in dark time, reject science and blah blah.
