Those who turn to revolutionary literature, whether Marxist or its ideological opposites, in search of liberation from alienation commit a profound epistemic error: they approach the problem of man from within the very architecture that produced his estrangement. The Marxist…+

…attempts to redeem man through the reorganization of material relations, while the liberal reformer seeks freedom in the reorganization of moral or political ones. Yet both remain entrapped within the same dialectic, merely shifting weight from one end of the seesaw to the…+

…other. In these oscillations, man remains a prisoner of the same metaphysical framework that defined him as autonomous, self-sufficient, and cut off from transcendence. This is why every ideological swing, however revolutionary in rhetoric, becomes reactionary in…+

The Muslims are the only ones uniquely positioned to stop this juggernaut, not by copying anyone else's methods, but by our own. We know how to dismantle empires because we’ve done it before on our own terms: the Sasanians, the Byzantines, the Visigoths, the kingdoms of North…+

…Africa, India, Central Asia. No people have confronted and reshaped so many realms, and we have endured. Do not accept the comforting lie the West tells itself that we were somehow vanquished; we have never been truly conquered. Our lands were not turned away from…+

…Islam, and they will not be. That was never the point of what we built, ours was never a project of colonization or crude accumulation. We were not driven by material hunger or naked power; our aim was simple and sovereign: to carry Islam to the people. Once it reached…+

Gaza functions as the world’s unconscious: the space where all the suppressed contradictions of liberal modernity surface. Every missile is an attempt to suppress the unbearable truth that the “order” governing the planet depends on perpetual disorder somewhere…+

…else. Gaza, therefore, is the system’s necessary shadow, the evidence that the global order’s peace, progress, and humanitarianism are sustained by carefully managed zones of devastation. What makes Gaza powerful is that it makes this hidden structure visible. It…+

…exposes the metaphysical dependency of global modernity on the existence of an “unredeemed” other.

And yet, Gaza’s endurance performs something far subtler than resistance. It produces disruption within the grammar of the global. The world system functions…+

The Qur’an’s brilliance lies in how it unveils the mechanics of falsehood, not merely as moral corruption but as social engineering. In describing Fir‘awn, Allah says: “So he made his people think lightly of him, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were a defiantly disobedient…+

…people” (43:54). This verse captures something profound: Fir‘awn didn’t rule only through brute power, he normalized his authority, made tyranny appear ordinary, and corrupted moral perception itself. The Qur’an thus exposes a subtle process, the manufacturing of obedience…+

…through the normalization of oppression. It reveals how power works not just through the sword, but through shaping what people come to see as natural, acceptable, and even good.

This Qur’anic insight anticipates what Enrique Dussel later called fetishization: the process…+

Many people are dangerously deluded by the idea that words, especially from figures like Kirk, are just empty opinions floating in the air, detached from real-world consequences. In reality, rhetoric is one of the most powerful tools of influence: it shapes public…+

…opinion, normalizes violence, and provides ideological cover for oppression. When someone with a massive platform repeatedly vilifies Palestinians and other marginalized groups, it does not exist in a vacuum; it strengthens the political will of those in power, justifies…+

Many Muslims today associate deep religious commitment with struggle and poverty because of how modern systems have structured economic and cultural life. Under colonial and postcolonial orders, Islamic piety was increasingly pushed out of public life and into the private…+
