Here I look at a simple definition of VIRTUE in the Quran; specifically the verse at 2:177. People get wrapped up in theories and minutia. What is important is faith and good words. This one verse has enough to keep any of us focused and busy with what matters and to attain good in this … Continue reading "Virtue Made Simple in the Quran: what you need to do to live a godly life in one verse – 2:177"

This looks at 9:36-37 specifically – where the Traditionalist claims the Quran speaks about four sacred months (Dhu al Qa’dah, Dhu al Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab). It also addresses the question of jizya in Islam – or tax on non-Muslims – on the basis of the Quranic text, the value for which – according to analysis … Continue reading "Four sacred months and jizya in the Quran understood without hadith"

The question of jihad – or “Holy War” – in the Quran is a highly politicised one, especially at this time when the Elite are busy engineering a clash of civilisations. Certainly, war is a part of life; and there are things worth fighting for. At the same time, there are those – both for … Continue reading "Jihad – or “Holy War” – a Quranic example"

The question of the meaning of the mysterious letters in the Quran – known in Arabic as the muqatta’at – has both intrigued and frustrated Muslims since the time of the revelation over 1,400 years ago. Many theories have been advanced as to the meaning of the muqatta’at – or mysterious letters – none of … Continue reading "Meaning of the Mysterious Letters in the Quran: ALIF LAM MIM…"

I get sincere and moving messages the essence of which is: “Since I decided to serve God alone my life has begun falling apart.” I don’t want to be glib or to tell others what they should do. The best way I can contribute is to share something of my own experience; what the path … Continue reading "Your life is falling apart now you’re serving God alone?"

In this video I outline my thoughts on chemtrails with regard to the Qur’an. At surah 44:10 the Qur’an speaks about ‘obvious smoke’ in the sky ‘covering the people’. Look in the sky today: do you not see ‘obvious smoke’? Called chemtrails – and derided as a conspiracy theory (by the same interests which control our food, … Continue reading "Chemtrails in the Quran"

I’m often asked about my own personal safety: aren’t I afraid to stand up and say what I do? In this video I address some of those concerns and outline how I see things: the only safety is in the communication of God and his messages. Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPHJJJ34U4Q

None of us can begin where we would like to begin. Many of the great prophets and men of God had sinful pasts (despite what Traditionalist Islam teaches). They began where they were. Just because you have a past doesn’t mean you don’t have a future. Repent, get right, and move forward. Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsJXfrs-gT8

There are no external saviours, not in the original Jewish scriptures nor in the Quran. God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. There is only one way to head off what’s coming, and that is do to what the Quran tells us to do: to warn … Continue reading "Expect no saviours – because there are none"

This is an autobiographical piece which aims to answer the following questions – questions I am often asked: – Why do I believe in the Quran? – Why do I not believe in the Jesus-alone “born again” version of Christianity? – Why am I not a Traditionalist Muslim? – Why do I insist on thinking … Continue reading "Why I believe in the Quran"
