  Praise of Female scholars in Islam Part 1:  Fāṭimah bint al-Aqrāʾ      A remarkable example of female scholarly excellence is Fāṭimah bint al-Aqrāʾ (also known as Umm al-Faḍl), whose mastery of calligraphy earned her high praise from the great historians and scholars.     Ibn Al Jawzi  described her writing as exceptionally beautiful, noting that she wrote in the distinguished style (ṭarīqah) of Ibn al-Bawwāb.     Her skill was so refined that people trained under her, and she was even entrusted with writing important state documents, including a peace treaty with the Byzantine empire and the Muslims.         Her work was widely admired and highly valued, reflecting both her scholarly stature and artistic excellence. Her example stands as a powerful reminder of the significant role women played in the intellectual and cultural life of the Islamic tradition.      Reference for above:  al...

  Al-Suyooti on the sources for Determining What Has Been Abrogated He says in his book " al-Itqan fee ‘Uloom al-Qur’an" on Volume   1. page 661.  This book consists of Topics on Sciences of the Quran. Like Tafseer, Aborgation, Reason for revelation etc. He says:  "ibn al-Hassaar said: When it comes to abrogation, one should only rely on an explicit statement transmitted from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) or from one of the Sahabah saying, “Such-and-such  ayah  abrogates such-and-such  ayah .” He also says:  "When it comes to the ruling of abrogation, one cannot simply take the statement of any  mufassir  as a proof – in fact, not even the scholarly verdict of an expert – without the presence of an authentically transmitted text or an irreconcilable conflict. That is because a ruling of abrogation entails that one legal ruling was lifted while another one was put in place and acted on during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ). So the trusted sourc...

  How Radical islamist groups politically affected the Muslim world Wednesday March 20th 2024 (This is a paper I have wrote in my p olitical science class last year) Introduction These extreme radical groups have affected muslims way more than non muslims. Although many assume Muslims are not affected by radical Islam, Just the non muslims are, but that's simply further from the truth. I'm gonna be talking about how badly they affect the muslim world in political matters. Now first let me introduce you to this group called radical Islamists.  People often think that radical islam only affects the non muslims, which is very incorrect. Rather it affects muslims in a worse way, especially in a political matter such as oppressing them in many ways than one, Examples would be killing them because of their extreme interpretation among religious texts like the Quran, they apply strict laws for the people to follow and make political decisions where the Muslim citizens are getting aff...

  Having Taqwa  Introduction:  The word “Taqwa” in Islam means Fearing Allah.  The concept of Taqwa in Islam permeates every aspect of a believer's life, guiding their thoughts, actions, and intentions towards righteousness and devotion to Allah. It serves as a moral compass, directing individuals towards acts of virtue, justice, and compassion while deterring them from transgression, injustice, and disobedience.  Fearing Allah is an obligation in Islam. As Allah has says in the Quran:  “O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Aware of what you do.” 59:18 “And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And We have instructed those who were given the Scripture before you and yourselves to fear Allah. But if you disbelieve - then to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And ever is Allah Free of need and...

  Now critics often cite the hadith: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I looked at Paradise and saw that the majority of its residents were the poor; and I looked at the (Hell) Fire and saw that the majority of its residents were women. Bukhari 5198 Refutation: Now This is just 1 hadith of many, Other hadiths regarding the majority of women being in hell fire have certain reasons why a woman will enter hell fire. That's why we shouldn’t isolate a certain hadith and instead gather all reports and make a conclusion. Now before I cite other reports, Firstly it's not just saying because you’re a woman. You’re gonna go to hell. No and lets prove that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said:  "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful. " It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds...
